The Buy
A really good beanie. With 4,000+ five-star reviews, this warm winter beanie is a favorite for a reason: the inside is lined with satin, which absorbs less moisture and causes less friction than other materials, keeping hair nourished and frizz-free.
Before the new year, we asked you what you want to read about in 2025. Reader Geldar M. said, “I would love to read on random everyday locals who are spreading love, our connectedness and oneness as human beings, [and] everyday acts of love and kindness. Let’s celebrate the everyday goodness in each and every one of us.” I love this. Help spread the love + share some of your stories with me.
