Alysa Liu burst onto the US figure skating scene in 2019. Then 13, she became the youngest women’s national champion ever and, in a first for a female skater at nationals, nailed two triple axels in a single program. In 2020, the phenom returned with an even more intimidating skill in her arsenal: the high-powered

Few things are better than seeing triple digits on your machine at the gym, indicating that you’ve burned some serious calories. But exercise machines and fitness trackers aren’t perfect and can even give numbers notably further from reality. Curious if climbing a flight of stairs or crushing a StairMaster workout burns as many calories as
Courtesy Congratulations, you made it through another week! What better way to celebrate than with some retail therapy? This weekend, Anthropologie is offering an extra 50 percent off its sale section. Yes, that means it’s a sale within a sale. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new sweater to brighten up your winter wardrobe,
If your life has an hole where new seasons of Big Little Lies or Succession should be, look no further. The first teaser trailer for The Undoing, a six-part limited series reuniting BLL star Nicole Kidman with creator David E. Kelley, is here to fill the void. The psychological thriller is based on the Jean
Showering is my favorite part of the day. It’s where I perform Beyoncé deep cuts, where I clear my head, where I wash away the crust of slumber in the morning and the grime after a long day at work. But it’s also where I cleanse my face. If you search “washing your face in
Jamie McCarthyGetty Images Taylor Swift’s surprise Grammys 2020 performance is no longer happening. The singer has pulled out of it, multiple sources told Variety this afternoon. Her exit will not create problems for the show, the outlet noted, as she hadn’t been announced, and the Grammys has many performers already lined up. Entertainment Tonight went
Much as we Outlander fans love to complain about the semi-annual Droughtlander (for those of you keeping count, it’s now been close to a year since season four’s finale aired), the truth is, it’s the anticipation that makes it so good. (Insert your own wink emoji here.) And by the sounds of it, season 5—which
I finished (um, binged) Netflix’s popular docu-series Cheer a week and a half ago, and my heart still hasn’t stopped pounding from the finale. As you might recall, the stakes couldn’t have been higher: the Navarro College cheer team had just spent months suffering through injuries, nonstop practice, and intense pressure to succeed, again, at
It’s time for the age-old question: what are you going to do with your hair this year? Is 2020 the year you get bangs? Should you go blonde? Go brunette? Just shave it all off? If your head is full of questions like these, fear not. We called in celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkin, who has
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an image from Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall 2020 collection is worthy of a novel. Literally. Creative director Nicholas Ghesquiere looked to vintage books and movie posters for creating the house’s latest lookbook. It’s a nod to the collection itself in which the original cover from William Peter
Neilson BarnardGetty Images Taylor Swift’s Miss Americana documentary did more than touch on Swift’s foray into politics. Swift spoke for the first time in the film about overcoming her struggle with an eating order; she addressed her experience more fully to Variety in her interview with the outlet about the film. Swift said during a
Why is it that in most futuristic movies everybody is walking around in earth tone tunics or other minimalist attire? Sure, there’s exceptions but in a lot of interpretations of the future we’re all going to dress like a Nancy Meyers character at a weekend detox retreat in a few years. Truth be told, a
Renaissance Periodization — while it may sound like you’re taking an art history class, it’s actually not. The diet and training program is one that puts an emphasis on maintaining muscle while decreasing fat or building muscle if you’re too thin. However, the program brings in scientific methods to its diet, and training components ensure
One of the most viral moments of fashion month—aside from J.Lo at Versace in a re-creation of the neckline-down-to-there Grammys dress that launched Google Images—was the model Leon Dame stomping down the runway at the Maison Margiela show in Paris. It was the walk that got everyone talking: chaotic, hunched, and slightly rushed. It went
I know what you’re thinking—yes, I am a poser. Sure, I dabbled with teenage mosh pits and cried to The Cure in my bedroom like any healthy adolescent, but I have never been part of a subculture. The aesthetic, however, is spreading. Due in part to the rise of egirls and eboys and a runway
American Crime Story, the Emmy-winning FX series that gave audiences a closer look into the trial of O.J. Simpson and the assassination of Gianni Versace, will be tackling a new, eerily-relevant topic in its third season: the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. The season, appropriately titled Impeachment: American Crime Story, will explore the case against
It made me sad and guilty to think of the immense number of pads and tampons I went through all those years of having my period. So about half a year ago, I made the switch to using a menstrual cup, and I haven’t looked back. After some trial and error, it’s now easy to
When I signed up for a week-long silent meditation retreat, I was looking forward to some peace and quiet, to deepening my meditation practice, and to having no choice but to unplug. When the first day actually arrived, I spent the six-hour train ride to the retreat center manically scrolling through Instagram-famous ferrets and art
You know that feeling when your bra and panties match? Your skin is clear, your crops are thriving, your credit score is skyrocketing, and you’ve just got your whole life together.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is like wearing a helmet throughout life: it’s the first line of defense when protecting your brain. While there is “no silver bullet for promoting brain power,” setting good social, physical, and nutritional habits is the key to promoting cognitive wellness, says Dr. Jennie Valles, MD, a neurologist in Burke Rehabilitation
We have lots of movies about the Olympics (I just watched Miracle, again, and cried, again), but Olympic Dreams is one of a kind: it is the first feature film shot at the Olympics and in the Athletes’ Village. The film stars real-life Olympic runner Alexi Pappas, who also a co-wrote and co-produced the film,
Kaia Gerber was just a few years shy from being a 90s baby, but with one of the biggest supermodels of 80s and 90s as her mother and a signature style of oversized sharp-shoulder blazers, high-waisted mom jeans, and crop tops, fashion’s it-girl has been doing her homework. Now, Kaia is adding another feat to
FX’s new historical miniseries Mrs. America chronicles a fascinating chapter in the feminist movement, focusing on the push to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the late 1970s—and the one woman who worked tirelessly to ensure its defeat. Conservative firebrand Phyllis Schlafly, played with compelling precision by Cate Blanchett, was a staunchly anti-feminist, pro-life grassroots
Disney’s been on a live-action remake kick in the last few years, including Beauty and the Beast (2017) and last year’s Aladdin and The Lion King. Next on the list is the beloved story of Mulan, which debuted as an animated film in 1998. The movie became an instant classic and features some of Disney’s
