Sharapova’s latest workout took her to the beaches of the US with trainer Tommy […]

Right now, practically everything I’m purchasing is online, beauty products included. Normally, I’d head to Sephora and scope it out, but my options these days are limited. I’m throwing caution to the wind and buying it all, sight unseen. But that’s the fun part. You can surprise yourself by finding something you love without ever having seen it. It’s like a blind date turning into love at first sight. We’re all changing how we’re purchasing things these days, and beauty is no different. One of the best ways to get the experience of trying new things is opting for a subscription […]
