Month: June 2025

There are countless online sales to keep up with around the Fourth of July, but the annual Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale occupies a special place in our hearts (and browser tabs). The three-week event, running from June 29 to July 19, is the perfect opportunity to score both summer beauty essentials and investment purchases…

Just five months ago, Mexican firefighters were rushing to Los Angeles to keep the city  from burning to the ground. Now, before there’s even been time  to process or heal from that trauma, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is targeting undocumented immigrants with brutal raids. Since Friday, June 6, the organization has violently seized…

An audience of 130 people cheered infectiously at the big screen as they enjoyed cocktails, bar food and conversation with strangers at 275Park in Brooklyn, a venue typically used as a comedy club. This may sound like the scene from fans watching the NBA Finals, but instead, the crowd was locked in for a Love…

As we grow older, we often forget the teachers from our early childhood, the ones who quietly shaped us and had a hand in nurturing our development long before we realized it. They might cross our minds from time to time, but if we’re lucky, the ones who truly impacted our development and growth remain…

Damson Idris is racing straight to becoming a household Hollywood name. But no matter where his career takes him next, we can say that we saw him first.

When it’s too hot for jeans but you still want to wear pants, linen is the answer. Light, breathable, and blessedly low-maintenance, linen pants are the rare summer essential that checks every box: They’re comfortable in triple-digit heat, instantly pulled-together, and look just as good with a bikini top as they do with a blazer….

Cotton underwear isn’t just the…

No hate to them, but with summer finally here, I can’t think of a more unappealing undergarment when it comes to tiny-tank-top-and-strappy sundress season — the marks that it leaves on the hot skin, the constricting material, the underboob sweat marks, the constant slipping……

Sure, there are fireworks, BBQs, and flag-waving aplenty, but the Fourth of July is also the summer’s hottest holiday for unbelievable online deals. (And that’s on top of the rest of the month’s markdowns — Amazon Prime Day runs July 8 to 11, and Nordstrom’s famed Anniversary Sale kicks off July 12.) While those epic…

Fourth of July fashion sales are firing up like all the barbecues and fireworks we’re going to enjoy over the holiday weekend. And unlike a fleeting firecracker, these stellar markdowns are arriving earlier and lasting longer (some until July 20!). We’ve looked for the best Fourth of July clothing, shoe, bag, and jewelry deals that…
