4 min read

November 12, 2018 at 02:00AM Whether it’s the news (why does it always have to be so bad, sad, and infuriating?) or a tear-jerking drama on primetime TV, simply turning on the tube these days can feel like an emotional landmine. More and more, it feels like we need escape from something that used to provide comforting escapism. Thankfully, Busy Philipps—your favorite Instagram personality for all things sweat, stress-busting, and self-care—is here to rescue us all from TV prison and make us feel good again. (Remember what that was like?!?) Philipps hosts Busy Tonight, the delightful new late-night talk show on E! that air’s Sunday through Wednesday at 10 p.m. EST, in which she has candid, fun, and seriously nice talks with A-list celebrities like Julia Roberts, Kristen Bell, and Tina Fey. In fact, one of the most refreshing aspects of Busy Tonight (besides the fact that it’s now part of the late-night lineup of shows hosted by badass bosses like Samantha Bee) is that Philipps is so obviously, authentically into her guests. She isn’t just psyched to talk to the stars who stop by her show—she’s the ultimate gas-up pal. Of course, that’s no surprise when you consider how lovingly she talks about her BFF Michelle Williams. Put simply, Philipps is the ultimate cheerleader, or sparkly human—a term she coined to describe someone who isn’t the most famous but who radiates enough confidence that opportunities still present. And it’s clear she sees the best in everyone. With Philipps, everything is the absolute

November 12, 2018 at 01:00AM In the early aughts, it was essentially a fashion rite of passage to have a leather or logo-emblazed Coach wristlet dangling from your arm for special occasions and trendy outfits alike—in case you were wondering, I had two. I reveled in the mini movement then, and now I’m totally here for the 2018 wristlets resurgence, which is taking the form of roomier, geometric shapes in cool colors and luxe textures. “Party bags have transformed from a practical vessel for the essentials to the focal point of our outfits.” “Thanks to Instagram, party bags have transformed from a practical vessel for the essentials to the focal point of our outfits,” says Naza Yousefi, designer of the emerging cult label, Yuzefi. While it used to be all about the convenience of the compact wristlet in the ’00s, Yousefi says the new and bigger grab bags of the moment are meant to be more of a statement piece. “I love the simplicity of carrying my handbag around the wrist or the arm.” Sure, a vintage Coach wristlet would seem perfectly in step with today’s nostalgic mood, but a new-age occasion bag comes with more polish and personality. “I wanted to include the Heart Wristlet in our fall collection because they’re a great twist on the classic wristlet and just as functional,” says Brett Heyman, designer of Edie Parker. Recently, the clutch handbag label’s gone beyond its distinctive lineup of playful box clutches to include hands-free options. Whether styled with leggings and

The herbal blend taps standbys like lavender and chamomile, plus some lesser known plant powerhouses like skullcap and holy basil—making it a notable arrival on the natural supplement scene and a new candidate for ultimate-stress-meltdown support.
