Leaves are falling, pumpkins are on every doorstep, and Halloween decorations are bringing out the spooky spirit all over New York City. Yes, we might still catch a few warm afternoons, but there’s no denying it—fall is officially in full swing. And with the cooler temperatures and drier air settling in, our skin can start […]
What is the Menstrual Cycle? The menstrual cycle is a natural biological process that prepares a woman's body for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining of the uterus sheds, resulting in a period. This cycle typically lasts 28 days, though it can range from 21 to 35 days.

Trendy or Totally Useless? Let’s Talk Skincare Some months I sit with a blank page for a while, waiting for what wants to be said. May wasn't one of those months.
