New Year, same commitment to consistency. Plus sharing is caring, so welcome back to my composite list of all things interesting.
With Harry and Meghan taking a hiatus from their roles as senior Royals, Love Island taking over the winter TV schedule and Rachel and Ross' baby Emma, finally having woken up from her nap; 2020 has set off with equal parts socio-political and pop-cultural furore. And with Storm Ciara imminently set to hit the UK, what better way to keep up-to-date with all things newsworthy from the comfort of your bed, than by reading on below...
In Conversation with...
If you were to be a fly on the wall in any conversation, I feel that this would be it: Anna Wintour interviewed by Rihanna. This Vogue video, 'Ask Anna' features revelations about the bob, discusses Rihanna's absence from the 2019 Met Ball and Anna's fashion regrets. Perhaps most interesting though, is the rapport between the two. Rihanna, the queen of side-eye and sass and Anna, the perennial sunglasses wearer of stoic style, both goofing around. It's worth a watch just to hear Anna chuckle and to find out when Rihanna's album is dropping...
New Year, New Mindset
What better way to begin the first of twelve months than with a shift in perspective. The adage 'fake it till you make it', implies an element of the imposter and pretence, as opposed to proactively working towards a goal. This article posits that a change of language is conducive to tangible progression. Though this could be viewed as semantics, the reconsideration of perspective is an encouraging new thought in these long, gloomy days. Read on for positive words and watch them translate into positive vibes.
Transatlantic Beauty
Many a New Year's Resolution was made come the strike of midnight on the 1st January. Promises of exhaustive use of gym memberships, a renewed dedication to abstinence from chocolate, commitment to reading more than just one's Twitter feed... My resolution (or one of) was to overhaul my skincare regimen. Having watched Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch's extensive beauty routine, mine felt lack lustre. However, for those that don't have the equivalent time of a 'Lord of the Rings' marathon to get ready; read here, for skincare routines from around the world. Informative and indulging everyone's desire to be nosey.
Stay Where You Are
Christmas may be over, but the remnants of the bills are still lingering, so, what with us being proper adults here (or at least attempting to be), a trip away may not be wise right now. However, Coveteur are getting thrifty in encouraging you to consider the staycation. Revisit your own city from the perspective of an outsider, which yes, does include embracing all those cringey touristy things that usually bring about an eye roll. However, with an open mind and a fresh perspective, you never know what you may discover to be your new favourite place.
Umm...
To conclude on what is most definitely the oddest thing that I have ever seen. Despite my usual fondness for words, I'm still not quite able to verbalise what this is. Julianne Hough in an interpretive dance? Orgasm? Exorcism? All of the above? It has to be seen to be understood and even then, you might not. But if you do, please get in touch and explain it to me.
