Intrigued by tarot? “Tarot is an extremely helpful introspective tool for those who are open to exploring themselves and the energies that they’re working with,” says Canadian clarity coach Chris Corsini. We spoke to Corsini to understand how can tarot card readings can help us take on the new year, so we can step into 2022 with purpose and intention. ( Learn what’s in store for January 2022 with our astrological forecast. ) What are the benefits of tarot? Tarot assists with “shadow work,” essentially, examining the parts of ourselves we don’t like or were taught not to like because of societal, religious or cultural norms. “Once you start exploring tarot,” says Corsini, “you can begin to question those things. You start asking yourself: do I believe this? Is this something I still stand by?” Note: Tarot is not fortune telling, nor is it astrology. Rather, it’s more of a confirmation of what you are already feeling, which can help people feel empowered in their decision making. Ca...

The new year is here and — based on my astrology predictions for January 2022 — things are about to get interesting. After a year of focusing on inner alignment and manifestation , I decided to ditch the New Year’s Resolutions I would’ve drafted in the past and turn inward. It’s taken 27 years, but I’ve finally realized that motivating myself by writing a list of fixed goals (like “read 30 books,” or “exercise twice per day”) is more “gaslight, gatekeep” than “girlboss.” Instead of the brute-force method, I’m opting for an intuitive approach to goal-setting this year — and using the planetary retrogrades to my advantage. In January 2022, the astrology forecast is calling for a Venus retrograde, a Mercury retrograde and a Mars transit. While the internet views astrological transits as the source of all breakups and bad haircuts, FASHION knows that retrogrades aren’t to blame . Rather than causing conflict, these cosmic occurrences simply bring issues we may have ignored (or avoided) t...

For Los Angeles natives Tonya Thompson and Sharie Wilson, what started as a passion project in their garage quickly turned into the DreamGirls hair salon along with a brand that surpassed $2.5 million in sales in its first year and has amassed a loyal following of over 50,000 on Instagram ( @dreamgirlshair ). The sister duo specializes in strengthening hair treatments designed to take the guesswork out of natural hair growth. “The goal of DreamGirls is to break the stereotype that Black women can’t have long natural hair,” says Thompson. In 2006, she and Wilson opened their salon in Los Angeles, followed by a second location, in Sacramento, in 2008, and began their Healthy Hair Program to offer professional services for women looking to grow their hair. In March 2020, during the pandemic, they launched their Healthy Hair Care System product line to allow women across the globe to care for their hair at home. The system not only repairs, restores and revives damaged locks but also en...

2021 has proven itself to be an explosive year for street style. A taste of normalcy (whatever that means now) has driven us to dress more freely and unapologetically than ever — if only for brief moments here and there. Could it have been an ardent longing to express ourselves through style in the wake of the turbulent year we left behind, and the equally uncertain future that lay ahead? Or perhaps, the nostalgic desire to participate in the return of trends gone by, from monogram mania to kitschy Y2K fashion? Whatever the reason, we’ve embraced the opportunity to step up our street style in 2021 — and so have our favourite fashion icons. With eye-catching looks from runway models to major pop stars, each season of this past year was full of fashion to be remembered. Below, find FASHION’s top celebrity street style picks of 2021.
