Verzichte gerne auf Alkohol – aber Dry January macht es nur schwerer

Es ist 20 Uhr an einem Samstag im Jahr 2023. Es ist mein 30. Geburtstag, und ich stehe allein in einem vollen italienischen Restaurant auf der Karaoke-Bühne, stocknüchtern, und jaule mich durch Robbie Williams’ „Angels“. Bis zu diesem Moment war Karaoke immer etwas gewesen, wozu ich mich niemals ohne den Einfluss von Alkohol getraut hätte – mitunter wegen meiner Angst davor, von anderen verurteilt oder ausgelacht zu werden. Aber da war ich nun, seit einem Jahr nüchtern, und genoss das wahnsinnige, euphorische Gefühl, mir meiner Handlungen komplett bewusst zu sein, umgeben von geliebten Leuten und Fremden zugleich, und das ohne auch nur den Hauch von sozialer Angst. read more

The Best Movies Of 2024 That We Seriously Can’t Wait For

Here’s the thing, though: As of right now, Burton and co have revealed next to nothing about what this movie — which is a proper sequel, not a remake — is actually about, so all anticipation for it is entirely wrapped up in nostalgia and the cast. Fans will remember that the OG followed the Deetz family (which included Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara) as they move into what should be an idyllic home, only to discover it’s being haunted by its previous owners (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), pulling them into the matters of the afterlife and the titular, havoc-wreaking supernatural being Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton). Decades later, Keaton, O’Hara and Ryder are all reprising their original roles, while Ortega is set to play Ryder’s daughter.  read more

The Elegant Color Every Celeb Will Be Wearing in 2024

The spring 2024 runway collections were stocked full of trends, from sophisticated takes on sheer to dramatically overstuffed handbags, but out of all of them, none made quite as impactful of a splash as oxblood (otherwise known as black cherry, merlot, or burgundy), the shade of red on every fashion person’s lips (and in their closets) right now. Found at Hermès, Gucci, Valentino, Versace, Tom Ford, and then some, the elegant yet moody hue is no doubt campaigning to be the color of the year.  read more

I’m 35, and My Mom Is 63—These 5 Trends Are Getting Us Excited RN

There is a 28-year age difference between my mother and me. (I’m 35, and she’s 63.) Despite the age difference, we tend to gravitate toward similar items because our aesthetics often mirror each other. Although, this probably isn’t so shocking given that age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear. I should also note that cold weather is my favorite. While my mom really loves summer, she adores winter from a sartorial standpoint. And yep, there are actually five trends for this season that we’re both loving. read more
