Amazon Dropped Its Black Friday Beauty Deals Early — & The Savings Are Huge

I'm A Victoria’s Secret Model — & This Is How I Get Ready For A Party

Non-Cheesy Family Tattoos To Get Over Thanksgiving Break

Yeah, yeah — we've heard it all: "Whoever said laughter is the best medicine has never tried shopping;" "shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist;" "life isn't perfect but your outfit can be;" etc., etc. While we could argue both sides of all of those points, we'll simply agree that, yes, retail therapy is a pretty good form of self-love. But, particularly during the holidays, buying gifts for others feels just as good, if not better, than treating oneself. Don't believe us? Try it. And when it comes to people who are notoriously difficult to shop for —  ahem, men — try East Dane. It's like killing ten birds with one stone; you'll find a gift for every man here.

In short: East Dane is Shopbop 's brother, of sorts. Back in 2013, the Amazon-owned e-tailer opened its mens's counterpart that sells contemporary menswear and competitors like Mr. Porter and Nordstrom Men's have been shook ever since. When it comes to prices, its spectrum of designers is vast: Carhartt WIP, Prada, J. Crew, Versace, Levi's — the list goes on and on. But most importantly, it's Amazon Prime-eligible, which means fast shipping and free returns.

Since it's that time of year(cough, Black Friday), East Dane is offering some pretty sweet sales, so we figured now was a good time to let you know that the guy who claims he "already has everything" could actually use a little more. Like, a multicolored universal adapter, a crisp, apple red cashmere beanie, a luxury bath robe (all of which, by the way, you can find in the slideshow ahead). If you're not sold yet, click on. Good gifts await.

They're Here! This Year's Best Black Friday Fashion Sales

20 Winter Picks You Need From ASOS' Black Friday Sale

You Do Not Want To Miss Out On Reformation's Huge Black Friday Sale

Whenever I hear beauty editors raving about a new treatment, the first thing I ask (not always out loud) is: Does it work on dark skin? While the answer is yes for many lasers and skin-care products, having more melanin always means you have to proceed with caution — one wrong turn with a laser can lead to a dark spot that can take months or years to erase.

So when everyone in the beauty industry started microblading, which is semi-permanent tattooing to fill in brows, I was definitely interested. When I wear makeup, I spend 15 minutes just perfecting my arches. And while I don’t have the energy to do that routine every day, if I ever get caught in a photo without doing them, I just look so... naked.

But as a rule, I don’t sign up for anything unless I see visual proof that it works on brown skin. So, I went to Instagram to hunt for brow tattoos on Black women and, let me tell you, the images were as sparse as my natural eyebrow hairs. But then I heard that Serena Williams and Jackie Aina get their brows microbladed by Piret Aava (a.k.a. The Eyebrow Doctor) in New York City. After scrolling through her feed, I noticed several women of color — and in all the photos, their brows looked immaculate and natural. That’s when I decided to get my first tattoo — on my face.

While the numbing cream took effect, Aava answered a few of my burning questions about microblading on dark skin. She explained that the process is exactly the same as it is for any other skin tone, but there are certain things you need to know about picking pigments before that first stroke. And in case you're wondering, I love my brand-new brows. Ahead, I'm breaking down everything you need to know if you're considering the procedure yourself.

Picking the right person is crucial.

Please don’t go to a tattoo artist to get your brows done. First of all, the tools and ink are completely different for microblading. The pigments are less concentrated than tattoo ink, and they come specially mixed to coordinate with brow colors. Using the wrong ink can make brows turn strange colors, like green.

You also want to make sure the person you are going to has experience with darker skin (remember my Instagram research?). Make sure to ask your brow specialist for photos of their clients, especially photos taken after the brows have healed. “Look at before-and-after pictures and look at healed results because that is what you’re actually going to be walking around with,” says Aava. “They look nice and sharp and beautiful and full right away, but the stroke expands a little bit — especially if your skin is oily. If the strokes are too close together, you are going to have solid block eyebrow.”

Never, never get black ink.

It’s instinct to go for the darkest ink option when working on dark skin, but Aava says that’s a big mistake because black looks gray once it heals. Instead, Aava matches her pigments to the natural color of her clients' brows, and her darkest shade option is ebony brown. If you want your brows to be lighter or darker than the hair you currently have, make sure to get your natural hairs bleached or dyed before your microblading appointment.

Undertones also come into play.

Another important part of picking the right pigment color for brows is the undertones of the skin. “If you have yellow undertones, I use pigment with cooler tones. If you have a lot of blue in the skin, I use warmer tones,” says Aava. “Some people are right in the middle, so I can’t really tell, but I always tend to use cooler tones because no one wants an orange eyebrow.”

Ask for a touch-up session.

In about four to six weeks when your brows have healed, it’s good practice to get a touch-up. For me, my brows looked a bit ashy after the scabs fell away, and I had a few spots where the color didn’t take at all, which left my brows looking a little splotchy. At my touch-up, Aava added a couple drops of warmth to counteract the cool tone and filled in the holes.

Aava says that different people metabolize pigment differently, which can lead to brows looking warmer or cooler once they heal. “It’s a foreign object in your skin and your body is trying to get rid of it,” says Aava. This means that your brows can look a little green or orange after they heal, and it also means that the pigment can disappear faster for some (in general, microblading lasts about 1-3 years).

Hyperpigmentation can happen — here’s how to prevent it.

Aava says that while hyperpigmentation can happen, it’s not something she worries about too much because it would occur underneath the brow hair. Dermatologist Mona Gohara, MD, says using sunscreen on your brows once they’ve healed can help with hyperpigmentation. “Any time you do anything on brown skin, there is potential for hyperpigmentation," she says. "So it’s important to do it in the right hands, and have really good sun protection afterwards."

The Best Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals For Makeup Lovers

The Ultimate Guide To False Eyelashes

The Best Drugstore Mascaras — For Every Need

When I was 23, I had a one-night stand that lasted five years. I went on a ski trip with three school friends; all of us were single and two of us had recently been dumped. We sang All Saints' "Never Ever" on the ski lift by day and danced on tables in bars by night. On the penultimate night, I saw someone I liked the look of and, with a lot of courage thanks to alcohol, sashayed over in my ski pants. I don’t think we’d even exchanged names by the time we kissed.

All four of us on the trip slept with someone that night, which called for a brief strategy meeting about how to fit these boys into our already cramped one bedroom chalet. My friend took the bedroom, I took the sofa bed, another selflessly accepted the boot room, and the last stayed out. The following morning, I gave the guy my number (I don’t think he’d asked for it) and we vaguely agreed to meet up back in London.

Three years later, we were on a plane to a new continent to start a new life. By then we were sharing a flat, a social group, and were deeply embedded in each other’s family lives. I felt unsure at various points in the relationship but, whenever the thought crossed my mind, we’d have a really nice day together. We never had that "conversation chemistry" where you just want to talk all night, which for whatever reason was my idea of "true love" at the time, but the relationship was loving and relaxing, and the attraction remained strong. I think I was always trying to get something more from him, and I sort of thought it might go wrong when we moved away, with no friends or family to fill in the gaps. 18 months later, after nearly five years, I behaved badly and ended the relationship in a drawn-out way that I regret because I couldn’t decide what I wanted.

He was angry for a long time after the break-up, which was three years ago now, and I fully expected him to say no when I emailed and asked if he’d answer 29 highly personal questions about our relationship for an article. And I fully expected his answers to be brutal, if by some chance he said yes. But it seems I underestimated him, in more ways than one.

1. Describe the night we met…

I can't — I was too hammered. It was in a bar in the French Alps. I had been to a dangerous rum place beforehand and I remember kissing you inappropriately against a wall.

2. What did you think of me at the beginning?

I didn't understand you at all. I remember thinking you were cool and mysterious to the point where you seemed otherworldly. I had this idea, that's impossible to explain, that you didn't shower – it wasn't a hygiene thing at all but because you were so serene, I just couldn’t imagine you doing normal things...nope, it is actually impossible to explain.

3. When do you think we were happiest together?

Probably in the middle two-and-a-half years of the relationship and when we lived together. I thought I was set for life.

4. What's your favorite memory of me?

Spooning in bed every night — there was nowhere I'd rather have been. Also, that time you fell over when we were running for something (lol).

5. When did it start to go wrong?

When we moved overseas at very different points in our careers — you were finishing something and I was just starting something. Suddenly it was just us — no family, no friends, no work — and that was a big strain on everything.

6. Why do you think, ultimately, that we broke up?

I failed to support you properly during a family crisis and afterwards when you were stressed. Sometime after that, you started talking regularly to two other guys (I think you were basically having emotional affairs with them) and lied to me about it. We muddled along for a while and then you made us go on a break, slept with one of the guys and then made us get back together. You never let me back in emotionally after that and we broke up properly a month or two later. I probably did some awful things, like tell your best mate's sister she was boring, but that is how I remember it.

7. Describe the day that we broke up...

We arranged to meet in a park, but my phone had run out of battery. So I just wandered around with a Magnum (white), not desperate to find you because I knew what was coming. Eventually, we sat on the grass and talked, and then said goodbye. I didn't know what to do after that because I had no home in London, so I leaned up against a tree and cried, and then cycled back to where I was staying in a daze. I haven't been back to that park.

8. How long did it take you to "get over" me / the break-up?

Some of it was quick and some of it will always be there (I don't think I'm ever going to be like, "Remember when we broke up – that was lol") but the simple answer is about 18 months.

9. How do you feel about me now?

I'm at peace with everything. I don't want to be best mates but that would be true for any ex of many years. I think there's too much water under the bridge and I'm not convinced that kind of friendship would be healthy. But I wish you health, wealth, happiness and many dogs.

10. What was I like as a girlfriend?

Overall, you were great. You could be very cold and distant, and I often felt I was playing second fiddle to your family (fair), friends (sometimes fair), or work (nahhh). But I loved you very much, trusted you completely and don't remember ever feeling actually pissed off — irritated, maybe — with you in five years. You were great fun, funny and always up for stuff, and your friends and family were cool. I was convinced we would spend our lives together. We were a solid couple.

11. What were my best traits as a person?

Sense of humor; loyal to family and friends; kind; hardworking; conscientious; generous; animal-loving.

12. What were my worst traits?

Starting "deep" conversations at 11.30 p.m. on weeknights; never sticking to anything you said in the deep conversations anyway; taking work too seriously; not being able to be alone; aggressive driving.

13. What do you think was unique about our relationship?

I felt like you knew me better than I knew myself, which seemed rare.

14. What did you learn about women from going out with me?

Everything! I don't think I knew anything about real women before we met.

15. What did you learn in general, going out with me?

I learned a lot about what kind of work/life balance I wanted to strike from watching you work too hard and get too stressed. And about how I wanted certain family dynamics to work.

16. What do you think I learned from going out with you?

I felt like it was my mission to teach you that being as happy and stress-free as possible is way more important than being a massive success. I'm not sure I managed it.

17. What do you think we lacked in our sex life?

Do you think stuff was lacking? I think the sex was always good even when everything else was collapsing, but I suppose you can always be more communicative and adventurous in sex.

18. How many times did you seriously think about cheating on me?

I don't know. I never plotted to cheat on you or got close to it (the closest I came was groping someone when paralytically drunk, which was mortifying, but I don't honestly count that as "thinking").

19. If we hadn’t broken up when we did, do you think the relationship would have lasted?

I'm not sure. Of course we could have kept going if we'd both really worked at it but I'm not sure we'd have been as happy as we had been, all things said and done.

20. Do you think you were a good boyfriend?

For the first six months or so, no — I was an unthinking moron — but when it got serious I think I was. I really tried to be, anyway.

21. If you could go back, what would you have done differently in the relationship?

I would have fully supported you during the aforementioned family crisis and the aftermath. And joined a gym, built up my upper body and hit your current boyfriend with a stick.

22. What did you do differently in your next relationship after me?

I have tried to talk less nonsense and be less annoying, and be more thoughtful and supportive when necessary. I've also never made my current girlfriend go to bed at 10 p.m. because I have a Sunday League football game at 2 p.m. the next day.

23. What did you tell your girlfriend after me, about me and our relationship?

I had a small rant about you and why we broke up on the night bus once, which I slightly regret. But, really, nothing much because she's never asked.

24. Who would you say put more effort into the relationship, you or me?

In its death throes, definitely me. Before that, I think you edged it.

25. How did your family react to the break-up?

They were upset but I'm from a big family and they've seen it all before, so I can't say they were heartbroken or anything.

26. How did your friends react?

I think a few of them were upset/disappointed but you've stayed in touch with those ones and I'm sure they knew that would be possible.

27. Describe a typical day in our life at age 35 if we had stayed together…

We'd be living in the countryside or a leafy suburb, likely doing the same job because we have the same profession, and with a dog and a cat who are best friends. And some babies. I'd wake up early, walk the dog, work from home and have dinner ready for you when you came back from some cool event. We'd drink a glass of wine outside or watch TV by the fire (depending on whether it was spring/summer or autumn/winter).

28. Do you still think I’m a nice person?

Yes of course mate. I mean you're not Jesus or Harry Kane – you made mistakes. But so did I.

29. What do you feel when you see me now?

It's comfortable and a little bit exciting, like putting on your winter coat and finding $20 in the pocket. It can also get a little uncomfortable after a while, like the sun has just come out again.

While you’re probably already hip to how great Amazon is for purchasing inexpensive electronics and other everyday essentials, we’re not so sure you knew how awesome the website’s home decor selection could be. Believe it or not, the site we all know and love for its cheap well…just about everything also features a surprising assortment of affordable and design-forward home goods.

Every Boot You've Been Looking For Is On SALE At & Other Stories

"I'm so excited to go shopping for a new body balm for my cracking skin!" said no one ever. The sad reality about this time of year is the buzz of browsing for a chunky sweater or rad new boots is always tempered with the B.S. we have to put up with when taking care of all that skin we're now forced to cover.

Staying on top of dry skin before it gets chapped and irritated — or worse, triggers eczema or scaly dry patches — is half the battle, so our beauty team has already started making body-care swaps in anticipation of freezing temps and dry office heat. Think of it as just as necessary as swapping in wool socks or breathable layers; it's not sexy, but if you don't prepare, you're going to be wishing you had.

From cure-all balms to flake-annihilating scrubs, our beauty team is sharing the products we use to combat the cold, ahead.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Day One

7 a.m. — Wake up and scroll social media. Then I shower, put on clothes, and make two eggs and a piece of peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon sugar toast for breakfast. Kiss my boyfriend, N., goodbye and ride my bike to work.

8:30 a.m. — Get to the office. I'm working on a statewide scholarship and research project, so I have to go to a few schools today. I Lyft to one high school ($5.89) and then call an Uber to another one and back ($28.59). ($34.48 expensed)

12 p.m. — Impromptu apple tasting with my coworkers. One of my coworkers has only ever eaten Fuji (!) and I told her Honeycrisp is the best apple variety (don't @ me). Another coworker from Vermont thinks McIntosh is the best. So I brought a Honeycrisp apple and another coworker brought McIntosh, and we're have a tasting with more coworkers. We all agree the McIntosh is too mealy. My coworkers ask me to go to Panera with them, but I decline because I brought a lunch (for once)! I heat up the food I brought from home (sautéed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and braised beef) and watch a Drew Gooden YouTube video at my desk. N. texts me that he just got off the phone with a recruiter, and it went well! Yay! He just quit his job, and he's been on the lookout for a new one.

2:15 p.m. — Ride my bike to class, which is about half a mile away. As part of my job, I get to take one class per semester for free! I get other student perks at the university, like a free gym membership and free Adobe software, too.

4 p.m. — Ride the two miles home. We had a guest speaker in class today who founded a startup, and I'm feeling super inspired! I spend the next three hours revamping my résumé on Adobe Illustrator instead of writing a paper for class.

7 p.m. — N. wants some attention, and we're getting hungry. I was going to cook, but…Jamaican sounds so tasty right now! We order one small oxtail plate for me and one large oxtail plate for N. I treat because I'm feeling magnanimous, and I'm getting paid tomorrow. We hang out and wait for the delivery. $37.25

7:30 p.m. — The food is here!! We watch an Australian TV show called Rake on Netflix and eat the takeout in bed, saving half for later. After dinner, we heat up a piece of apple pie I made from scratch over the weekend. Pies are the only dessert I bake, and I don't do it very often because they're so much work. This is a delicious pie, and I'm already planning on making another next week. Then I keep editing my résumé while N. works on a coding tutorial.

10 p.m. — Switch to reading a book my mom got me for my birthday last month: Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami. He is my favorite author for sure. I've read all his novels, and I'm trying to savor this book, hehe. I read for 30 minutes and then it's bedtime!

Daily Total: $37.25

Day Two

6:30 a.m. — Alarm gets me up. I do some scrolling on Reddit before I get up. N. is randomly awake (he's not usually up this early) and wants cuddles, but I tell him I have to workout this morning. I do a kettlebell workout on YouTube. BodyFit by Amy is great! Then I take a shower and get ready. I have a mini skincare routine that includes Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Serum, Hada Labo Skin Plumping Cream, and La Roche Posay Sunscreen. I've tried adding more products, but I find I can't stick to a routine that's longer than three steps, haha. Breakfast is two fried eggs and peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon sugar toast. I eat while reading my Murakami book.

8:15 a.m. — I ride my bike 2.5 miles to work. It's a cold morning and even with my gloves, my fingers hurt so bad.

8:30 a.m. — It turns out to be a busy day. Our program grew 20% overnight (probably because the deadline to sign up is today). This is great, because it means we can help more low-income students get into college, but it's also very stressful for me and my team! I also have to work on a discussion paper for my class that's due by 2 p.m. My job allows me to work on homework during work hours as long as I get my other work done (as the class is technically part of my job). This morning, we also have a team meeting.

11 a.m. — I eat a snack of beef jerky and power through my paper, taking breaks to keep up with work emails and other miscellaneous time-sensitive work tasks.

1 p.m. — I finish my paper! Then I eat my leftover Jamaican food at my desk. I don't really like eating at my desk, but today is busy. I take a short break, though, and watch a Drew Gooden YouTube video about the Olsen twins as I eat.

5 p.m. — Finally done with work! Ride my bike 2.5 miles back home. When I get there, N. is cooking dinner and listening to music. We listen to an EP that our favorite group just put out. We get super excited because we're seeing them next week, so we dance around in our office to their new music to “practice” for the concert.

6:10 p.m. — Eat dinner that N. made: baked chicken, sautéed potatoes, and cauliflower. It's simple, but tasty! We finish with a piece of pie each — the last two pieces :( — and watch an episode of Rake. Cleaver Greene is really an asshole.

8 p.m. — N. wants to get some work done, so I go on my phone and read more Killing Commendatore. I forgot today was payday, and I'm very happy when I realize it. I don't really like getting paid once a month — it's annoying for budgeting — but money is money! I make plans with friends to go dancing on Saturday night.

9:30 p.m. — Hang out a lil with N. and then go to sleep.

Daily Total: $0

Day Three

6:30 a.m. — Wake up and do some work. The program enrollment period closed last night, and I want to make sure everything went smoothly.

7:30 a.m. — I get ready to go for a run, since I'm going into work late today (I have a laser hair removal appointment at 9), when N. wakes up and asks me if we can do a kettlebell workout together. BodyFit by Amy it is! I use our 25-pound kettlebell, and N. uses the 35-pound one. We take turns taking showers afterwards because our shower isn't very big, and we can't both fit.

8:45 a.m. — N. drives me to my laser hair removal appointment. He drives me to places a lot — I don't really like driving, and he loves it. We split car insurance and gas, and it works for us. If ever he doesn't feel like driving, which isn't too often, I take the bus or ride my bike. Today, I get my upper lip hair and cheek hair done. The upper lip hurts a lot this time. I already prepaid for six sessions with a Groupon for $235, so I don't pay for this session.

9:30 a.m. — Dunkin' Donuts drive-through for breakfast sandwiches! It's $7.54 for two sandwiches (turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin for me, and a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and a coffee for N.), but I only pay for my sandwich. We eat the sandwiches on the way to my work. $3.54

1 p.m. — Eat lunch with coworkers — leftovers from last night.

2:15 p.m. — Walk to class. The subject material is interesting today, but the heat is blasting and the instructor is boring (he isn't our regular one), which means I struggle to pay attention.

3:45 p.m. — Get out of class five minutes early and go to a cafe near campus, where I get a small soy iced chai tea and a piece of vegan banana bread. I tip $1. I do my reading for my discussion section as I eat my snack. $8.29

4:10 p.m. — Walk to the Health Center on campus and get this season's flu shot. It's free for students. Then I walk to my discussion section.

6:10 p.m. — N. picks me up. We quickly grab broccolini we bought from the grocery store last week and head over to N.'s siblings' place (his brother and sister live together) for dinner.

10 p.m. — After a night of yummy food (N.'s sister cooked a Laotian rice dish), fun company, and more than an hour of playing charades, N. and I head home. When we go to bed, I have trouble falling asleep. I'm thankful tomorrow is Friday.

Daily Total: $11.83

Day Four

6:30 a.m. — Alarm wakes me. I'm very tired and try going back to sleep, but no can do. I was going to go for a run but it's still dark outside, so I wait until it gets lighter. I leave for my run at 7:06 a.m., and it turns out to be the worst three miles ever. I felt so bad I had to walk up a hill. Probably because of the lack of sleep and the flu shot? Oh well, I'm happy I did it.

8:15 a.m. — After showering, getting ready, making a breakfast of leftovers to take to work (potatoes, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and ground beef — I love leftovers for breakfast!), and kissing N. goodbye, I run to the bus stop.

8:19 a.m. — And the bus is late. Classic RIPTA. Luckily I didn't run far — the bus stop is basically on my street. When it arrives, I get on the bus and ride to work. (Bus fare is covered by my university.)

12 p.m. — Free Chinese food for lunch at work today. There's veggie lo mein full of mushrooms, which I'm into. It's a coworker's birthday, too, so there are also donuts! I sit with my coworkers and eat. The "best apple variety" topic of conversation comes up again. Honeycrisp is the clear winner among the office.

5:45 p.m. — Still at work, working on a report that we need to finish before we leave the office tonight. I snack on a donut.

7 p.m. — Finally finish the report (first draft) and send it to the boss. Some coworkers and I leave work to go to bar on campus to celebrate our coworker's birthday. I buy a tequila sour ($4) and some popcorn for the table ($3), and tip $3. $10

8 p.m. — Getting hungry, so I go to a ramen place near campus with two coworkers. I get shio ramen, and it's delicious. $21.50

9 p.m. — I miss my bus home and decide to walk 2.5 miles home and talk to one of my close friends on the phone. It takes me about an hour. When I get home, N. and I get into an argument. We need some space, so I go to bed while he works in the office.

Daily Total: $31.50

Day Five

7 a.m. — Wake up and make myself a breakfast of two slices of peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon sugar toast. I spend the morning doing dishes and laundry, cleaning the toilet, and reading Killing Commendatore.

12 p.m. — Run three miles and almost die again. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I feel as though I may be getting sick. When I get home, I shower and eat a lunch of leftovers — a chicken thigh, potatoes, and carrots.

2:10 p.m. — Have a long talk with N. about our relationship. It's hard, but I think we're working towards a better place. He's pretty introverted, and I'm pretty extroverted, so sometimes we clash about social things.

5:30 p.m. — N. and I get hungry and decide to order pizza from our local spot. Medium mushroom pizza for me, buffalo chicken calzone for him. We split the cost and watch some more Rake while we munch. $12.81

8:34 p.m. — N. drops me off at my friend's house on his way to visit his mom in Boston. He's going to to stay there overnight. We kiss goodbye!

9 p.m. — My friend and I walk to the liquor store across the street from her house, and I buy one of my favorite beers: Lost Nation Gose. $11.22

9:20 p.m. — Our other friend arrives, and we all hang out and catch up while we get ready. I drink two beers and take two shots over an hour and a half. Then we Lyft to the bar! I pay. When we get to the bar, it's almost empty. We decide to hit up a nearby pizza spot. $7.45

11:45 p.m. — After spending an inordinate amount of time in Pizza Queen taking pictures, we go back to the bar. The amount of people has quadrupled. We stay until closing, dancing the entire time. I love to dance, and I especially love to dance for free!

1 a.m. — Walk back a mile to my friend's house, and then I Lyft home from there. $7.66

2 a.m. — In bed and missing N.! I had a great time with my friends, though. I think I can feel a sore throat coming on. It's also freezing. I put on another sweater and fall asleep.

Daily Total: $39.14

Day Six

8 a.m. — Wake up. Ugh. I feel terrible, and I'm definitely sick. I have a headache and a sore throat. I need more sleep but I can't go to sleep right now. Oh well, time for a big breakfast. I fry three eggs and make peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon sugar toast. I read Killing Commendatore as I eat and make sure to drink OJ, too!

9:15 a.m. — Feeling sorry for myself, I do some online shopping. After consulting with N. about a coat, I buy almost $175 worth of neutral-toned winter clothes (two sweaters, two pairs of pants, and one coat) from Uniqlo. I need new winter clothes, and what the hell, I just got paid. $174.50

12:15 p.m. — Eat my leftover mushroom pizza for lunch — yum!

12:53 p.m. — My friend comes over, and we walk several blocks from my house to a nearby coffee shop and bakery that has the best croissants. I buy two butter croissants (one for me and one for N.) and a chamomile mint tea for my scratchy throat. My friend gets a butter croissant and a cold apple cider. It's a really nice day, so we walk back to my house and eat our pastries on my balcony. It's so nice to sit in the sun, and I'm feeling a lot better. $9.07

2:15 p.m. — N. gets back, and all three of us head for a walk in the park. We end up walking for an hour, and it's lovely, barring the fact that I step in dog poop.

4:45 p.m. — We drop my friend off at her house and head to our favorite Jamaican restaurant for, you guessed it, oxtail. It's so much cheaper to pick up than get it delivered like we did earlier this week. My half is $10.30, and we eat at home. We need groceries, so I place an order online for a Peapod delivery ($134.60), including enough Honeycrisp apples to bake an apple pie! I schedule the delivery for two mornings from now. Exhausted, I fall asleep around 7 p.m. $144.90

Daily Total: $328.47

Day Seven

6:20 a.m. — Wake up feeling better, but still stuffy. Decide to lay off the workout I usually do on Monday mornings and take my time getting ready. I make myself breakfast of two slices of peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon sugar toast. (We're out of eggs!) Then I walk to the bus stop and read my book on the bus.

8:26 a.m. — Work, work, work.

10:30 a.m. — Feeling extra hungry, so I heat up a small plate of leftover veggie lo mein from the work fridge and eat it at my desk.

12:30 p.m. — Order a soup and salad on Panera's app and walk with my coworker to go pick it up. She has some interesting girlfriend/friend drama she fills me in on. We eat our food back in the office. $9.69

4:50 p.m. — N. picks me up from work, and we head home. He tells me he got gas this weekend, so I pay him for half of it ($14.83). He's feeling pretty sick, so he wants to rest. I do a kettlebell workout and then cook rib-eye steak, sautéed potatoes, and broccolini for dinner. We eat and hang out. $14.83

10 p.m. — Go to sleep thinking about the concert we're going to in two days. I'm so excited!!

Daily Total: $24.52

Abortions in America are at their lowest rate since abortion was legalized, according to a new report from the CDC.

The survey, released on Wednesday, revealed that abortions for women aged 15 to 44 dropped 24% nationwide between 2006 and 2015. The overall rate of abortions also declined by 2% (from 652,639) from 2014 to 2015.

The abortion rate decreased for all age groups, but the largest decline was for teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19, where there was a decline of 54%.

A cause was not specified in the report, but it is possible that increased access to contraception is a factor. When the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate went into effect in 2011, making it possible for women to get birth control for free, the number of women who use birth control at no cost more than quadrupled.

Birth control methods such as the pill, injections, vaginal rings, implants (such as IUDs), and more are all covered under the ACA. That means that women have wider access to various forms of birth control now than at any point in the past, that is completely covered if they are insured by most employers and ACA plans.

Overall, the decline appears to be representative of a worldwide trend. A study from the Guttmacher Institute this year found that abortion rates tend to go down when it is legal, citing Switzerland — a country with legalized abortion — as the place with the lowest rate of abortion, with five abortions per 1,000 women.

This report comes on the heels of a controversial six-week abortion ban that was recently passed by Ohio legislature and a 15-week abortion ban that was passed by Mississippi governor Phil Bryant but temporarily blocked by a federal judge.

With false lashes ringing in at up to $25 a pair, throwing a set away after a single use feels just plain wrong. Turns out, we’re right to trust our guts on this one, because according to makeup artist Jamie Greenberg (whose celebrity clients include Rashida Jones, Kaley Cuoco, and Busy Philipps) there is plenty of life left in a duo of false lashes after you’ve turned down for the night. The trick: Treat them like dishes and wash them after every use.

The fact is, we should be able to get more than a dozen wears out of a set if we baby our fake lashes, Greenberg estimates — something that makes even the highest of price tags much easier to stomach. Ahead, get the makeup pro's blueprint for making lashes last into 2019.

Dandruff is one of those common issues many of us have yet shy away from speaking about. Having white flakes fall on your black turtleneck has been portrayed in beauty campaigns and commercials as a nightmare, but the reality is that dandruff is super common and doesn't have to prevent you from feeling fabulous in black — or in general. Some cases are mild, and others more severe, but thankfully, with the right regimen, dandruff can be easily controlled.

Stephen Pullan, a trichologist at the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in New York, tells Refinery29 that all dandruff doesn't look the same."It can be thought of as dead skin cells shedding off the top layer of the scalp, [which] happens all over the body," he points out. "The process can speed up, however, creating visual dandruff, or even worse, [symptoms] such as a bothersome form of flakes that adhere to the hair shaft and can create hair loss."

The good news, however, for people living with this annoying issue is that it is treatable and it starts with finding the right shampoo. "Dandruff shampoos work to decrease flaking, normalize rapid cell turnover, hydrate the scalp, and indirectly decrease itching," dermatologist and Dove hair expert Francesca Fusco, MD, adds.

Dermatologist Neil Sadick, MD, of Sadick Dermatology in New York City notes that it's important to pay attention to ingredient labels when shopping for cleansers. "Look for shampoos that have ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione," he says. "Both of these are chemical compounds have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that reduce and prevent fungus growth on the scalp."

To help you have a more soothing shampoo experience, we asked the pros for their favorite formulas for ditching dandruff, ahead.

Turns out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t be neighbors to Prince William and Kate Middleton after all.

Royal rumors of tension between the brothers began swirling when news surfaced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wouldn’t permanently be putting down roots in Kensington Palace in the apartment located directly next to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Instead, The Sun reported that Harry and Meghan will move into Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate. This is allegedly due to speculation from British tabloids that the couple doesn’t “want to live next to William and Kate and want to strike out on their own.”

It looks like those rumors might have a grain of truth: the Palace recently confirmed the move and provided a timeline for it.

New Windsor residence for Harry and Meghan!
Kensington Palace announce: pic.twitter.com/OOFkaq0l8Y

— Omid Scobie (@scobie) November 24, 2018

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child. The couple have lived at Nottingham Cottage since their engagement last year,” the statement read. “Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate. The Duke and Duchess's office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace.”

As far as the rumored tension between William and Harry, it seems to be centered around the reports that Harry will set up his own court, distinct from William’s after Meghan gives birth. Doing so will allow Harry and Meghan to pursue “more discursive and creative” projects such as the Invictus Games and the campaign for girls’ empowerment in Africa, according to Robert Lacey, a royal historian and consultant for Netflix’s The Crown.

On the move to establish separate courts, Lacey told The Daily Beast that “it’s overdue really. It makes sense because although they will act as a team in the future, the functions of the team members will change.”

Obviously, the Palace didn’t address whether or not the courts' separation was the underlying catalyst for the move. Some seem to have run with the royal rumor, though and are determined to pit the two brothers against each other, much like what’s been done with Meghan and Kate.

Now I know photos don’t show everything, but judging by how happy everyone looked in Prince Charles’ 70th birthday portrait, one can probably rule out any major drama between William and Harry. The two probably just want a little space to branch out and forge new normals with their own families, and who could blame them for that?
