2018 is basically almost over. How’d your New Year’s resolutions work out? If the answer is a sheepish shrug, you’re not alone. It can be hard to keep on track of goals and new habits, whether it’s saving money or staying hydrated, especially when you’re already besieged by demands from work, friends, and family. That’s why you should let your phone do all the heavy lifting for you. There are so many apps on the market these days for literally everything you can think of, so it can be overwhelming to sort through them all in an effort to find one that will work for you. That’s why we put together this list of the best apps that will help you get your shit together. We don’t recommend downloading every single app on this list, tempting as it will be; self-improvement is great, but you’re only human. Whatever your goals are, rest assured that there’s a brilliant app in this list that will help you reach them. 1. Level Money When it comes to finance apps, everyone knows ...

We’ll point the finger at the friend who encouraged a third glass of wine with dinner, or the bartender who was too generous with his vodka-to-soda ratio. Whatever (whoever?) the reason may be for getting a little too cocktail-happy during a night on the town, we’ve accepted that it just happens sometimes. Bring on the unattractive consequences. Ideally, we’d spend a day post-party in the most cliché way possible: in bed with a big bag of greasy fast food and Netflix. Unfortunately, our schedules are too packed with brunches, errands, and of course, work, to allow ourselves a day of lounging around—especially during the week. Instead, we need act like the grown-ups we are, wipe that hungover gaze from our faces and carry on with our commitments. But how do you fake being in prime condition while battling blotchy skin, glossy eyes and an overall look of near-death dehydration? We’re highlighting five products to add to your beauty regimen that’ll help keep your...

Say what you will about New Year’s Eve (It’s expensive! It’s overrated! It’s not worth the hype!), but if there’s one thing it’s undeniably good for, it’s pulling out all the stops, style-wise. What other holiday provides the perfect excuse to stock up on all things sparkly? What other occasion actively encourages wearing glitter in your hair? Whether you’re spending this year’s countdown swaddled in a blanket on your couch or packed onto a dance floor with a crowd full of strangers, there’s no better time to be exceptionally overdressed and bedazzled. Another perk that comes with dressing up for New Year’s Eve? There’s no shortage of style inspiration out there from the big (and small) screen.

The long-term effects of high heels on the body are well-documented, ranging from foot damage to chronic pain . I didn’t even need to know that, however; just the temporary pain of wearing killer heels for a night out or even sensible heels all day at work was enough to make me slowly dial back on my high heel addiction. These days, I work from home and one of the best side effects of that is the freedom to wear comfortable shoes (or no shoes at all) every day. Now I rarely wear high heels even when I go out, opting instead for a fun pair of sneakers. However, once in a while I do break out an old favorite pair of heels for an important meeting or a special occasion. Unfortunately my time away from heels has turned my feet into complacent, doughy cry babies. The moment I try to shove them back into their old torture chamber that is four inch stilettos, they immediately start screaming in pain. It’s not attractive to hobble around with a grimace on one’s face, but I refused to give up...

Holiday parties have begun and that’s usually our cue to start thinking of ways to get creative with our hairstyles. I mean, really, there are only so many times you can do beachy waves. We tapped celeb hairstylist Matthew Collins (who did our Tatiana Maslany cover, btw!) to play a game called DIY or Do Not Try. Watch the video below to learn which hairstyles you can totally do at home and which you should leave to the pros.

New Year’s Eve is basically the worst holiday of the year. Sure, it proceeds a day off, but that seems like a big price to pay for an evening designed to make you feel a) pathetic for your lack of achievements from the previous 364 days and thus bound to resolving to be better, and b) desperate for someone to make out with. If you expressed either of those feelings on any other regular old Thursday night, people would be justifiably concerned. The only way to properly handle New Year’s Eve is to lower your expectations to zero. Understand that this is not going to end like the final scene in When Harry Met Sally . The party won’t be fun. The boy (or girl) will not be cute. You won’t be able to catch a cab. There is no love waiting for you in the first few hours of 2019, only a hangover, so you may as well fist-pump it into the New Year by eschewing all traditional forms of celebration and following one of these fool-proof plans for a NYE hater’s ideal evening. 1.

While there’s nothing more fun than a well-executed New Year’s Eve fete, the logistics surrounding the big night can be daunting as hell (read: inevitable drama, a lack of Ubers, the impending hangover, etc.). You’ve experienced it, I’ve experienced it. It sucks. We previously mentioned that we’ll be practicing more self-care going into 2019. So, what better than to literally start the new year by getting your sweat on? Here, a list of fitness classes and events in Toronto to check out on New Year’s Eve.

In order to understand money, Gaby Dunn made it her full-time job. After writing a viral essay for Splinter titled “ Get Rich or Die Vlogging: The Sad Economics of Internet Fame ,” which chronicled how holding currency in the attention economy does not always translate into cold hard cash, the journalist, screenwriter and YouTuber parlayed her fascination with money into a popular podcast series , which is now a book,   Bad With Money: The Imperfect Art of Getting Your Financial Sh*t Together , out January 1st 2019. I discovered Dunn’s work in a slightly more embarrassing way:  Thought Catalog . As a textbook millennial of a certain age, I digested the site’s navel-gazey personal essays and arbitrary listicles in between writing umpteen essays for university, eating copious amounts of junk food, and engaging in ill-advised relationships, and Dunn’s insightful musings on toxic friendships  and staring at your phone  helped me infinitely while navigating t...

GIF There I was, standing like a bouncer, watching over women that pawed and clawed at open cubbies of bras and mismatched panties (you cannot— cannot —call them underwear when you work in a lingerie store). The line to the register snaked through the store, so it made the most sense for women to just line up and grab their haul as they got through the queue. But one woman merely stood behind me looking at her phone. It seemed strange to me in this chaos that she chose behind me to check her Instagram. So I offered my help (what little help I could offer – I’d offered to do a one-day gig at a mall chain lingerie store). Her initial confusion instantly turned into Boxing Day Rage as she lost it on me. She thought she was in line and expressed her right to get to the front now. While she turned a few heads, the store was so packed with shoppers concerned with their own bags, that I realized life would be easier if I let this poor, clueless but emotionally tyrannical woman into the l...
