Here’s All the Culture News You Missed This Week
May 30, 2020 at 01:00PM An official Friends cookbook was announced Monica may be a legit chef, but she and the gang have still made some pretty questionable choices in the kitchen: from Mockolate Mousse to not-quite-vegetarian pâté to of course, the infamous English trifle. Now, some of those meals have actually made their way into a cookbook inspired by the show. Titled Friends: The Official Cookbook, the book features over 70 recipes including Just for Joey Fries, Phoebe’s Grandmother’s Cookies and The Moist Maker. Written by chef Amanda Lee and described as a “fun homage to the show that’s always been there for you,” each page includes a recipe from Friends along with details about its backstory on the show. The book is slated for a September 2020 release.

Hudson’s Bay Joins Growing List of Fashion Brands on Animal Crossing
May 29, 2020 at 09:47PM Much like Tiger King, baking banana bread and sharing your workout online, Nintendo’s Animal Crossing has become synonymous with our new socially distanced lives. The game has existed for more than 20 years, though the fifth installment, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, was released on March 20 of this year right as lockdown measures went into place across most of the globe. To date, it has more than 11 million users. The fashion industry was quick to jump on board: Valentino recreated a series of archival looks for the characters and Marc Jacobs designed a six-piece collection specifically for the game. Plus, creators are helping to bring some of the buzziest brands – think Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Gucci – to players of the game via dedicated Instagram pages like Nook Street Market and Crossing The Runway. Once users see an outfit they like, they simply put the design ID into the game and the clothes appear in their virtual closets. Now, iconic Canadian retailer Hudson’s Bay is getting in on the action. In celebration of its 350th anniversary this year, the brand has created digital versions of two pieces from its anniversary collaboration collection with Armor Lux for users to access in the game. Featuring the iconic HBC stripe, the Breton long-sleeve top and Breton merino wool sweater can be accessed via design codes shared on The Bay’s social media platforms. Speaking about the decision to collaborate with the game, Meghan Nameth, the senior vice president at the

Texture Talk: 4 At-Home Deep Conditioning Treatments to Revive Curly Hair
May 29, 2020 at 07:32PM Welcome to Texture Talk, a new weekly column that celebrates and deep dives into the dynamic world of curls, from springy S-patterns to densely-packed coils — because curly hair is far from one big category. This week is all about the best at-home deep conditioning treatments that work on all curls, plus are easily accessible during this self-isolation period. In mid-March, I was all set and scheduled to visit my hairstylist for a much-needed trim and salon treatment to finally rid me of my split ends. Then the outside world began to shut down and quarantine life began. Now, more than two months into stay-at-home orders, and my type 4 curls have found themselves under major strain, becoming increasingly dry, brittle and lifeless — and so has my energy to really do anything about it. But this past Sunday I was forced to light a self-care fire under my butt as I traded in my once-fantasized — and planned — big white wedding nuptials for a small, virtual wedding ceremony. It ended being a marvellous affair, and my coils were equally as excellent. That’s because as I was DIYing my own wash-and-go curl routine Sunday morning, I decided to try the keratin protein and black rice-spiked Nexxus Keraphix Masque ($6) that I had picked up at Shoppers Drug Mart. Courtesy of Nexxus Canada I applied it thoroughly throughout my hair after I shampooed, and left it in for about 15 to 20 minutes while I
How Calgary’s Honubelle is Making Inclusive Swimwear That’s Stylish and Sustainable
May 29, 2020 at 07:02PM Launched over ten years ago, Alberta-based swimwear brand Honubelle continues to push the dial when it comes to the style world’s most important topics. “I love to portray women of all shapes, sizes and colours,” says founder Julia Barnes about Honubelle’s approach to design and photography. Here, Barnes shares more about the sustainability-focused vision behind her line, why inclusive representation is important to her, and how Canada’s natural beauty proves as inspiring as those who wear her designs. Tell us about starting the brand. Do you have a background in design? I don’t. I actually have a background in accounting. But I always wanted to design; actually it was more about making garments and garment production that I was interested in. I dabbled in making a few things here and there for myself and friends, and I thought to myself, ok, I love sewing and creating but I need to find my voice in that. It was so obvious yet somehow so hidden—it’s surf culture that I’ve always felt that I belonged to in a way, so that’s what I wanted to create. At first it wasn’t apparent what that was going to look like, but over the years the more I thought about it, I thought swimwear was what I wanted to create. So, I married my passion for wind and surf sports with trying to come up with a swimwear brand. View this post on Instagram urban dreams * thanks @karleensamson for reminding
The Genius Hair Clip Hack for Face Masks to Help Alleviate Pressure on Your Ears
May 29, 2020 at 05:11PM Face masks have become de rigueuer since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Fashion brands across Canada are creating masks for consumers in various colours, textures and styles, and in addition to being a protective measure, the masks are also becoming a way for people to express their individual style. And now, hairstylist Olivia Smalley – who goes by the name OMG Artistry on Instagram – has served up quite the nifty little hair clip hack to help alleviate pressure on the ears from the elasticized loops on a face mask. Sharing two short videos on Instagram, Smalley (who went viral back in April when she shared a video of a hair hack that leaves you with a professional-looking blowout without using a hairdryer) used a chic hair clip to secure the elastic loop on the mask to the hair. “Ears hurt? Grab a clip to hold back mask. And not to mention it looks so cute,” she wrote in the caption – and she’s not wrong. View this post on Instagram ???Mask Hack. Ears hurt?

Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of Indigenous Activist Sarain Fox
May 29, 2020 at 02:00PM We’re officially in Month 3 of self-isolation with an uncertain road ahead but for some much-needed inspiration, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, influencers and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. Sarain Fox, Indigenous artist and activist I’ve been isolating in rural Ontario for over eight weeks now. This felt like the most natural place for me to isolate. I need to be close to the land, where I can be with the trees and the birds. Before Mother’s Day, the cedars were still dancing next to wintered grey and brown poplars. I see resilience in the landscape. It’s barely warm enough for us to be outside, but flowers are starting to come to up. Spring is when new life is around us. Quarantine for me has been about facing my own rhythm. A lot of us have spent our entire lives on someone else’s rhythm, and we haven’t had a chance to get to know ourselves. One of the greatest gifts I was given as a young person was a lot of alone time. My mom taught me to be alone with myself, to do things like fasting, and that’s something a lot of people don’t get to do. I’ve settled into my routine, but it wouldn’t have been
Everything You Need to Know About Sephora’s New and Improved Loyalty Program
May 28, 2020 at 09:57PM In some very welcome news, Sephora has announced that it has revamped its Beauty Insider loyalty program – and the changes are pretty major. From tomorrow, for the first time ever, shoppers will be able to earn cash rewards with every dollar spent. Called Beauty Insider Cash, shoppers will automatically be able to redeem a $10 voucher at checkout when they reach 500 points. Plus, Sephora will hold point multiplier days across the year whereby customers can earn two, three or four times the points for every dollar spent, depending on their membership level. The minimum spend for free shipping is also being lowered for VIB and Insider-level members – for VIBs, they’ll now get free shipping on purchases of $35 or more and Insiders on purchases over $50. Rouge members will continue to be able to access free standard shipping on all orders. Beginning in the fall, Rouge members will also be given first access to new product launches. The birthday gift offering has also been overhauled, allowing customers to choose from new categories including haircare and skincare and featuring buzzy brands like Briogeo, MILK Makeup and Sol De Janeiro. When social distancing measures ease, Sephora will also introduce a set of beauty experiences for its loyalty members including “a one-on-one meet-up with a brand founder, a facial from a skincare guru, or a chance to see how their favourite product is made,” according to a release. The news follows the brand’s announcement that
Kylie Jenner is the Most Searched Celebrity During Quarantine
May 28, 2020 at 09:40PM Aside from easy pantry recipes, WFH outfit ideas and recommendations for fun activities to do during quarantine, one other thing people seem to have been Googling extensively during lockdown is their favourite celebrities. A new report by data trends provider SEMrush has compiled a list of the most searched celebrities since quarantine began. Kylie Jenner received the top spot on the list with 450,000 Google searches after the reality TV star and beauty entrepeneur was spotted by the paparazzi in late April running a quick errand in a tie-dye sweatsuit, with no makeup (or shoes). Kylie Jenner stepped out for snacks in sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on, and it's an entire quarantine mood. https://t.co/DyfQE6FXHB pic.twitter.com/tUSh0JHrZT — E! News (@enews) April 22, 2020 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Next on the list is SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who was searched over 300,000 times after he tweeted in early March that “the coronavirus panic is dumb.” Tom Hanks, one of the first known celebrities with COVID-19, also made the list following his social media post announcing his and wife Rita Wilson’s test results, which garnered nearly 3 million likes on Instagram and another million on Twitter.
