At the 2020 Golden Globes , Hollywood’s elite congregated under one roof without a mask in sight. Just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic forced stay-at-home orders and widespread lockdowns, celebrities sashayed down the red carpet, swapped air kisses and toasted Champagne flutes at the traditionally raucous awards show. 2021 looks a little different — a limited number of stars walked an actual red carpet in Los Angeles, while others got dolled up and attended virtually from home, but thankfully, we were blessed with a much-needed dose of fashion. Cynthia Erivo didn’t hold back in a fresh-from-couture-fashion-week Valentino Haute Couture full-skirted gown, while actors like Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern opted for a decidedly more laid-back vibe in an empire-waist mini and black tux respectively.

Glow Recipe launched its first-ever body product   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Glow Recipe (@glowrecipe) If you’re a fan of cult favourite skincare brand Glow Recipe ‘s previous watermelon-scented products (a sleeping mask, toner and, of course, the moisturizer that started it all) then you’re in luck. This week, the brand launched Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream, a creamy body lotion formulated with watermelon seed butter, hibiscus (a natural alpha hydroxy acid for smoothing and gently sloughing away dead skin cells) and hyaluronic acid. The fast-absorbing lotion leaves behind no traces of grease — just the beloved watermelon scent.

This launch marks Glow Recipe’s first foray into the world of body care and is sure to become a spring and summertime ...

In addition to winning a Black Designers Award of Excellence this week, in the last month Byron and Dexter Peart — founders of the mindfully-curated, B Corp certified marketplace Goodee — have seen two of their ambitions also come to fruition. There’s the launch of Goodee’s new content series, “In Conversation With” (the first edition boasts a chat with model Sabrina Dhowre Elba and her husband, actor Idris Elba); and the duo also announced a partnership with Nordstrom for the Goodee 100. It’s a roundup of a hundred products from its site priced at $100 and under. Canadians can shop the pieces directly from Goodee’s e-comm, while in the U.S. the offering is online and in selects stores. “It’s an edit inside an edit,” Byron notes of the range, which includes accessibly-priced home décor, personal care and lifestyle products ranging from the best-selling Goodie Hoodie to Obakki’s Bidi Bidi scarf and a hand wash/lotion set from Frama. “We really want people to reframe their notion of g...

Prince Harry has made his American late-night TV debut. The Duke of Sussex joined fellow Brit James Corden on  The Late Late Show   for a hilarious 17-minute long segment that aired February 25. During the interview, the host showed a relaxed Harry around L.A. from the top of an open-air double-decker bus — the royal’s first time riding in one. Corden — who attended Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle back in 2018 — took the prince to see the house from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (yes, Harry knows the theme song!) and even competed against him in an obstacle course. Naturally, the pair also enjoyed a cup of tea while hitting on a range of topics from fatherhood to leaving the royal family. Here’s everything we learned from their chat. Meghan Markle uses this nickname for Prince Harry  While visiting the  Fresh Prince  house, Corden tries to convince Harry to make an offer to buy the home. (Because then he’d be a prince living in the Fresh Prince  house,...

Five years ago, multidisciplinary artist TiKA began recording a debut full-length album and quickly became a beloved voice in the Canadian music industry, thanks to a series of critically acclaimed R&B singles that she released as fans patiently awaited her album Anywhere But Here . In that time, TiKA snagged a spot in a couple of Sephora campaigns, dazzled her growing fanbase with magnetic live performances, and explored other mediums like filmmaking. But the album never came. Today, TiKA has released Anywhere But Here , her long-awaited, half-a-decade-in-the-making, full-length debut album. Unsurprisingly (for those who have followed her music in the last few years), the record is already garnering praise from critics. We sat down with TiKA (virtually, of course) for an unfiltered conversation about all things ego, music and identity. On releasing an album during the pandemic “It’s super weird. Because of quarantine there’s a different energy and a different vibe. Most of th...
