I’m not one for PSLs or decorative gourds, but I did go completely nuts last weekend at my local farmers’ market with the first autumn squashes. A copious haul of shapely butternuts and striped delicatas — that’s my seasonal home décor. Mine are mostly destined for the sheet pan so they can get sweeter and…
As a 20-something woman who considers herself a feminist, I can’t help but wonder how my fashion choices contribute to the rigid beauty standards for women. Putting on a cute outfit or a bright lipstick seems harmless, but what about foundation, contour and shapewear? By choosing to wear items that conceal my flaws, am I…
