An official Friends cookbook was announced Monica may be a legit chef, but she and the gang have still made some pretty questionable choices in the kitchen: from Mockolate Mousse to not-quite-vegetarian pâté to of course, the infamous English trifle. Now, some of those meals have actually made their way into a cookbook inspired by the show. Titled Friends: The Official Cookbook , the book features over 70 recipes including Just for Joey Fries, Phoebe’s Grandmother’s Cookies and The Moist Maker. Written by chef Amanda Lee and described as a “fun homage to the show that’s always been there for you,” each page includes a recipe from Friends along with details about its backstory on the show. The book is slated for a September 2020 release.

Much like  Tiger King , baking banana bread and sharing your workout online, Nintendo’s  Animal Crossing  has become synonymous with our new socially distanced lives. The game has existed for more than 20 years, though the fifth installment, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, was released on March 20 of this year right as lockdown measures went into place across most of the globe. To date, it has more than 11 million users. The fashion industry was quick to jump on board: Valentino recreated a series of archival looks for the characters and Marc Jacobs designed a six-piece collection specifically for the game. Plus, creators are helping to bring some of the buzziest brands – think Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Gucci – to players of the game via dedicated Instagram pages like Nook Street Market and Crossing The Runway . Once users see an outfit they like, they simply put the design ID into the game and the clothes appear in their virtual closets. Now, iconic Canadian reta...

Welcome to Texture Talk , a new weekly column that celebrates and deep dives into the dynamic world of curls, from springy S-patterns to densely-packed coils — because curly hair is far from one big category. This week is all about the best at-home deep conditioning treatments that work on all curls, plus are easily accessible during this self-isolation period. In mid-March, I was all set and scheduled to visit my hairstylist for a much-needed trim and salon treatment to finally rid me of my split ends. Then the outside world began to shut down and quarantine life began. Now, more than two months into stay-at-home orders, and my type 4 curls have found themselves under major strain, becoming increasingly dry, brittle and lifeless — and so has my energy to really do anything about it. But this past Sunday I was forced to light a self-care fire under my butt as I traded in my once-fantasized — and planned — big white wedding nuptials for a small, virtual wedding ceremony . It ended be...

Launched over ten years ago, Alberta-based swimwear brand Honubelle continues to push the dial when it comes to the style world’s most important topics. “I love to portray women of all shapes, sizes and colours,” says founder Julia Barnes about Honubelle’s approach to design and photography. Here, Barnes shares more about the sustainability-focused vision behind her line, why inclusive representation is important to her, and how Canada’s natural beauty proves as inspiring as those who wear her designs. Tell us about starting the brand. Do you have a background in design? I don’t. I actually have a background in accounting. But I always wanted to design; actually it was more about making garments and garment production that I was interested in. I dabbled in making a few things here and there for myself and friends, and I thought to myself, ok, I love sewing and creating but I need to find my voice in that. It was so obvious yet somehow so hidden—it’s surf culture that I’ve always f...
