The Perfect Body Wash for Every Need — Beyond Just Cleansing

We all want the same thing when it comes to body wash. It should cleanse and hydrate the skin. But beyond that, body wash is a pretty personal choice. Those five minutes (10 if you’re lucky!) of peace are all for you and that moment of self-care can be pretty important. It’s not just about getting clean — although it’s that too. It’s about feeling fresh and good in your own skin and taking some time for yourself.

If your skin is on the dry side, you’ll find a body wash that contains plant-based hydrators that leave skin feeling silky soft. The formula isn’t greasy and won’t leave a residue, of course. Instead, a nutritious blend of plants and body butter soften as it cleanses. For those with sensitive skin, a fragrance-free formula that’s mild and pH balanced is your best bet. It’s even hypoallergenic and gluten-free, which is important for those with sensitivities.

If you have normal skin and really love when a body wash leaves a fresh scent behind, you’ll find a cleanser with a yummy Mandarin orange smell that doesn’t overwhelm. Shop this diverse blend of body wash and find the perfect one for you.

Jewelry Cleaning Cloths to Keep Your Collection Looking Shiny & New

Whether you’re an avid fine jewelry collector or simply have a taste for affordable fashion pieces (which are super prone to tarnishing), cleaning and polishing your jewelry on a regular basis is the key to ensuring that your favorite rings, bracelets, necklace, and pins last a lifetime. We often overlook the fact that dust, grime, and residue from our lotions, perfumes, and hand creams can taint our favorite pieces leaving precious stones, sterling silver, and gold-toned metals looking rather dull and lackluster. When jewelry becomes clogged with everyday impurities, these pieces lose their shine and brilliance, but fortunately, with the regular use of jewelry cleaning, you can help maintain the life span and luster of your favorite pieces.

However, when cleaning and polishing your jewelry, it’s important to take special precautions to avoid damage. Using an abrasive fabric or a solution that’s not specifically formulated to be used on silver, gold, metals, gem, and diamond can lead to scratches, cloudiness, and discoloration. Jewelry cleaning cloths are the most fool-proof way to clean your jewelry. Scroll through below to check out some of our favorite solutions to try for yourself.

The Coziest Turkish Cotton Bathrobes You Can Lounge Around in All Day

With how long women spend showering, bathing and getting ready, you should make sure you have a fantastic bathrobe in your arsenal — especially if you spend half of your weekend and weekday evenings in your robe. Robes are the ultimate loungewear, after all. You want a robe that’s cute, long-lasting and, of course, comfortable. If you want your robe to feel like a towel, so you get a second opportunity to dry off, you should check out Turkish cotton robes. 

Turkish cotton mimics your bath towel in the best way possible. It wicks moisture away from your body and absorbs it, while drying you off. Despite absorbing all of that water, it remains relatively dry. You’ll find that spas, hotels and pools usually carry Turkish cotton towels if that helps you imagine what Turkish cotton bathrobes feel like. This type of robe is made out of cotton from Turkey and is harder. It tends to become fluffier over time, which is good news for shoppers who want something cozy to curl up in. 

We rounded up the best turkish cotton robes that’ll help you make the transition from shower to fully dressed (even if that transition takes four hours). We found both long and mid-length robes. One of our options even has a hood, if you want a more mystical vibe. You’ll have nearly every color robe available to you, no matter if you want to channel Elle Woods’ fluffy blue bathrobe in Legally Blonde or get pretty in pink.

Sleek Bathroom Wastebaskets That’ll Elevate Your Decor

Bathroom trash cans aren’t something most people give a whole lot of thought. It sits in the corner of your bathroom, usually smashed up against the toilet if you have a small bathroom. What trash can goes in the bathroom might not seem significant, but just think about how many makeup wipes, Q-tips, cotton balls and single face-mask packages you throw away on a daily basis. That wastebasket is a big part of your get-ready routine. If you’re going through great lengths to look Insta-ready, you want to make sure your waste bin can keep up. 

Side-note: It’s also one of the few pieces of furniture that visitors or guests are going to notice in your bathroom, so it might be time to throw out that ancient trash can that has gum stuck to the bottom of it from college. 

When shopping for a bathroom trash can, you want to make sure to pick a step above from the trash cans that scream “freshman year dorm room” and reek of plastic. You also have several different styles you can choose from — you aren’t doomed to pick a boring plastic trash can. It’s possible to pick something that has an interesting aesthetic. 

We selected the best bathroom wastebaskets that we would place in our own bathrooms. Each of the options below are durable, small enough for your bathroom and will add to, rather than detract, from your bathroom decor. Now, you’ll only need trash bags.

The Best Half Wigs for a Seamless Blend With Your Natural Hair

Though wearing wigs doesn’t necessarily require having a bad (natural) hair day as the prerequisite, let’s not overlook how convenient they are. Whether you’re going the get-up-and-go route with a glueless unit or keeping it traditional with Got2B on a lace frontal, they’re a timeless and chic way to protect your natural hair or experiment with a new look, sans damaging side effects. Still, the best half wigs are just as popular and deliver a different, but just as gratifying payoff.

Whereas 360 wigs and classic lace fronts disguise your entire head, half wigs cover just half of the head and come in a variety of styles. The most popular version covers the back half of your head, leaving the front half of your natural hair exposed to blend and/or smooth to your liking for a more realistic-looking finish. There are also “topper” half wigs that function the other way around, covering the front half of the head and exposing the back half. In recent years, half wig accessories, such as hair attached to hats, have also surged in popularity for their low-maintenance appeal and cost.

In almost all cases, half wigs are constructed with an inner mesh cap attached to a comb that can be inserted into your natural hair for a secure hold and fit. The key to a natural-looking blend is selecting a style that mirrors or closely mimics your natural hair color and texture (or the style you plan on trying). More importantly, half-wigs leave room for versatility and make it relatively easy to go back-and-forth between updos and down-dos. Ahead, some of the best cost-effective half-wigs for textured hair; from wavy bobs to classic roller sets.

SPF-Spiked Lip Products to Keep Your Pout Protected From Sun Damage

If you’re a staunch skincare enthusiast, you’re already well aware of just how essential applying your SPF each and every day (regardless of the weather and even if you’ll be indoors most of the day) is for preventing premature signs of aging caused by the sun, and more importantly, preventing skin cancer. While facial sunscreen should most definitely be the final step in your skincare routine, we often forget about protecting our lips. Sure, dry, chapped and peeling lips are anything but desirable, but your lips can also suffer from being exposed to UV rays without a solid shield. In fact, the skin on the lips is actually even more delicate than the skin on our face, making the area extra susceptible to photoaging (i.e. fine lines, loss of color, and reduced volume). To make matters worse, our lips also contain less protective pigment than other parts of the face body, making them extra susceptible to sun damage.

Sure, many lip balms are already infused with SPF 10 or so, but frankly, that doesn’t even come close to cutting it. Like your face, you really want to aim for a product that offers an SPF level of 30 or more. Naturally, you don’t want to slather on your face or body SPF onto your mouth—it won’t penetrate properly and will probably seep into your mouth throughout the day—-but, if you’re like me, you also don’t want to forgo your lipstick in favor of that unsightly, stark white stuff that surfers swear by. The good news? SPF formulas designed exclusively for lips exist, and they’re not chalky, greasy, or glaringly white. Keep scrolling to check out some of our favorite lip sunscreens that will keep your pout plump and youthful, without competing with your favorite lipstick.

Everything We Know About Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik’s Baby So Far

As the world waits for the arrival of this baby from parents who are *literally* sculpted by the Gods, all we can do is share everything we know about Zigi’s soon-to-be child. Consider this your one-stop-shop when it comes to all things Gigi Hadid pregnancy updates, due dates, baby gender, etc. along with her boo-thang and baby daddy, Zayn Malik. You’re welcome.

We first heard the (in my opinion, earth-shattering) news on April 28, when TMZ reported that “family sources” close to the couple told the outlet that Gigi was already 20 weeks along with their first child. While TMZ’s source shared that the on-again, off-again pair were “very excited,” neither confirmed the pregnancy rumor at the time.

But fans were quickly convinced, as the timeline adds up. Zayn, 27, and Gigi, 25 recently rekindled their five-year relationship in Jan. 2020. The pair were spotted out together in New York City following rumors that they’d reconnected over the Christmas holiday, and have since spent their time together in Pennsylvania on the Hadid family farm.

It’s even possible that Gigi’s birthday party, celebrated on April 23, included a hint about her pregnancy. The model took to Instagram to share a photo of her, Zayn, and her younger sister, Bella Hadid—pretty much confirming that she and the former One Direction member were an item again. “,” Gigi captioned the post. But read on to find out what else fans are saying this photoshoot revealed.

This post will be updated as more information becomes available.

Is it confirmed?

While neither Zayn or Gigi have confirmed the pregnancy at the time of writing, Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, was quoted confirming the rumor on April 29. “Of course we are so excited,” Yoland reportedly revealed to Dutch outlet, RTL. “I’m excited to become an Oma in September especially after I lost my mom so recently. But this is the beauty of life: One soul leaves us and a new one comes in. We feel very blessed.”

Source: Instagram

Are they having a boy or a girl?

Fans were quick to realize that Gigi’s birthday party was *probably* also a gender reveal party, shortly after the news of the model’s pregnancy was announced. There were blue and pink strings on her birthday balloons—but which one are we going with, here? (After all, blue and pink don’t automatically equal boy/girl. But we’ll save the gender theory for another day).

Well, according to Entertainment Tonight, the couple is “over the moon” as they are expecting a baby girl. “At the end of the day it didn’t matter to the couple what the sex was, but now they can prepare for the new addition before she arrives,” the source added.

When’s the due date?

With Gigi reportedly 20 weeks along by the time the pregnancy news was announced in April 2020, the model is likely expecting her baby by September 2020!
