Cruelty-Free Makeup to Create Your Own Riverdale Vixen Looks

The gang is back! Riverdale season 2 premiered October 11, and while we’re ecstatic about it, unlike the first season, we can’t binge watch it in one weekend. This time, Netflix is releasing the episodes once a week. Boo! But, it does make our Wednesday nights more exciting.

How to Deal With Decision Fatigue (and Being Overwhelmed!)

You're grocery shopping. A no-stress, weekly or bi-weekly errand. You should be done under an hour. Twenty different labels of honey stare back at you. Pick me! Pick me! they scream. I'm 100% natural, but refined! I'm 98% natural, but unrefined! I'm blueberry flavoured! You're in the midst of the simplest task: paying for one class of the yoga class you just completed. Or, the well-coiffed girl at the front counter cocks her head slightly. Do you want to do two classes for $30? I know you're only in town for five days, but maybe you'll come back to another...
