If you’re new to tennis, you probably have some questions about the scoring. For example, you might see a player’s score change to “ad,” which is short for advantage. This term is used only when a game is tied 40-all — meaning, each player has scored three times, otherwise known as deuce — and a

I’m not sure if I should call it a hobby or not, but I really enjoy trying professional athletes’ and celebrities’ workouts. I’m a big fan of Halle Berry’s ab workouts and I always do The Rock’s upper-body workout whenever I want to feel completely gassed. I had the opportunity to train with Danielle Collins,
Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day; for many of us, it’s our favorite. When you’ve got time to whip up a breakfast recipe, you know you want it to be something that not only tastes great but is healthy, too. We’ve got you covered in both departments. If you’re one
Wellness, to us, means living a life that makes us feel healthy and happy. It’s making sure we get moving, but also enjoying a little creamer in our coffee and making time to sit with our favorite candle. When we’re looking for a little self-care, we’ve actually found a lot of interesting products at Urban
What I love most about a trip to the nail salon is it’s basically an oasis of endless possibilities. That being said, most trips to the salon still begin with me staring down the “services” menu trying to figure out if I’ll stick to a regular manicure or treat myself to something more creative like
Alongside PSLs and leggings, a fleece jacket used to be a key part of the Basic Student starter pack. Now, the fashion industry is claiming it as its own. Indie designer Sandy Liang was the first to adopt the look back in 2015 with her Insta-famous outerwear, but the trend is peaking. Philip Lim, Fendi,
One of my favorite lines in the film Stick It goes, “The only reason I’m doing these tricks is because somebody, somewhere said, ‘I don’t care if this is nuts, and I don’t care if it hurts. I’m doing it. I’m gonna climb this insanely high mountain. Watch me.’ And when you’re the first to
Smart shoppers know that you can often find really good discounted items during those end-of-the-season sales. There is always the chance that what you like is sold out, but that won’t be the case today. J.Crew is having a summer sale with an extra 50 percent off sale pieces (and 40 percent off regular-priced items)!
Courtesy Clip-on Earrings Chanel chanel.com $800.00 Say goodbye to dainty, barely there jewelry, because the next big thing in baubles is exactly that: Big. Like every other cyclical fashion trend (see: the Princess Di biker shorts revival, our current obsession with square-toe shoes, and those tiny Matrix sunglasses we already regret), we’re seeing the return
You know the drill—it’s been a long week, you’re suffering from a hormonal breakout, etc.—and the only plausible solution is to spend money on what I believe my grandmother refers to as an “impulse purchase.” What Granny doesn’t know is that there’s a difference between an impulse and a I-need-this-to-feel-good purchase…and what Grandma doesn’t know,
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Madagascar, lies the tiny island of Mauritius. Encircling it like a necklace is one of the world’s largest coral reefs, which, like coral reefs everywhere, is under threat from warming oceans. Over the last few decades, Mauritius’s beaches have shrunk by 65 feet, in
The best part of the changing seasons? Arguably, it’s the food. Comforting foods don’t have to be unhealthy, either! Roasted sweet potatoes, cinnamon pumpkin seeds, and savory roasted brussels sprouts all have something in common: they’re Fall’s best superfoods for weight loss. Indulging in some of the best flavors of the season doesn’t have to
Figuring out what to eat first thing in the morning when you’re not quite awake can be so hard. And doing that on a diet, especially one as restrictive as Whole30, can be even worse. However, there are so many great things you can eat for breakfast on the Whole30 diet that will definitely make
Alice Marie Johnson, who was famously granted clemency thanks in part to Kim Kardashian’s meeting with the president, is the star of Kardashian’s new SKIMS shapewear campaign. Kim launched the brand under the name Kimono earlier this year before changing the name amid backlash in July. On August 26th it was re-launched under the name
In ELLE.com’s Style Files we ask our most stylish friends how they got that way. Up first, Brittany Xavier, the brains behind the eponymous blog (formerly named Thrifts and Threads) and an Instagram account with more than 1 million followers. We caught up with Xavier at Michael Kors’ TWA Jet Set experience, where influencers from
With the rise of clothing rental services and super fast digital shopping sites, several brands are feeling the heat, including beloved mall brand Forever 21. According to a report from Bloomberg, Forever 21 could potentially file for bankruptcy due to a decline in cash flow and failed attempts at its turnaround plans. Sources explained to
Everyone has abs. Rondel King, MS, CSCS, exercise physiologist at the NYU Langone Sports Performance Center, told POPSUGAR that if we didn’t have abdominal muscles, we would be a lot less stable and wouldn’t be able to do daily tasks (think carrying groceries up flights of stairs). But if you’re trying to see them more,
Benoît Peverelli When it comes to putting on eyeliner, I’m as nervous and shaky as one can get. Eyeliners are basically the MVP of eye makeup, and one wrong move can result in a slew of black marks ruining the flawless mug you spent nearly two hours creating. As the star of your makeup bag,
This week marks one year since I started using Rent the Runway Unlimited. The $159/month service, which allows me to rent four pieces at a time for as long as I want, has brought me a lot of joy: I basically eliminated shopping for clothes (shoes are another story). I didn’t purchase a single coat,
After recently being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease), I really started to think about the choices I was making for my health. For years, Diet Coke was a staple for me, but I wanted to find a healthy alternative — something I could feel good about putting into my body — so I
When Lizzo opened her performance at the 2019 MTV VMAs with a giant inflatable butt across the entire stage, the crowd went wild. Her empowering songs and self-assured attitude are what makes her impact so powerful, but Lizzo doesn’t want to be considered “brave” for radiating such levels of confidence; it’s just who she is.
I like to grind. Work-wise, dance-wise—let’s grind it out. But there’s an area I don’t appreciate grinding, and that’s my mouth. I remember when I first realized I was mercilessly grinding my teeth at night: I was on a shoot, getting ready to interview celebrity cosmetic dentist Bill Dorfman about teeth whitening. Before filming, he
Albert UrsoGetty Images Even though I am a beauty product hoarder and embrace my (extremely extra) million-step nighttime skincare routine, somehow, my hair care routine has always been bare-bones. I couldn’t figure out how to keep my hair healthy enough. I always ended up with split ends less than a month after a haircut. Even
We can’t quite put our finger on what exactly makes bread so delicious, but we know that we love it. Whether you’re gluten free or trying to eat low-carb, giving up bread is hard to do. When we first started the keto diet, we thought we would have to say goodbye to our beloved loaves,
In this series for Harper’s Bazaar, I will be “outfit dissecting” women who work behind the scenes in the fashion industry. The women you will meet in these profiles work for some of your favorite brands, and whether they’re designing the pieces you love or answering your DM questions, they are also quietly cultivating trends.
You work hard enough, which means you don’t need to waste time searching for the best sales in fashion, beauty, home, and accessories this Labor Day weekend. Need a new blazer? Check.

5. Matte “A matte finish makes any old nail color look contemporary. An ultimate color shifter, it makes cream polishes look chalky, metallic shades look like steel, and pearl shades look suede,” Remark says. “But if you tend to have dry or peeling cuticles, stick to shiny topcoats. Matte manicures can shine an unwanted light
There is a scene in Knock Down the House, the award-winning documentary that tracks four women running for Congress in 2018, in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is sitting on the couch in her living room, breathing deeply. In only a few hours, the then 28-year-old bartender from the Bronx—and complete newcomer to politics—must go on live
In an era when women are fighting, once again, for our hard-won access to choice, it might seem counterintuitive that the suit—in its most masculine, tailored, gray flannel incarnation—is making a comeback. But come back it did, on female dandies in bow ties at Dolce & Gabbana, girls with cravats at Burberry, twenty-first-century Katharine Hepburns
My weight was never an issue before I went to college. Maybe it was due to my active lifestyle; I participated in so many sports and clubs, I rarely remember being home other than to sleep. Never in a million years did I think I would have to worry about the “freshman 15.” Honestly, I
