EDITOR’S LETTER

WELCOME TO THE NEW GLAMOUR. AS WE PUT together this issue—my inaugural one here at the magazine—I started thinking about my first job. I earned my very first paycheck at the age of 14, stacking supermarket shelves in a place called Ballincollig, a town in County Cork in the south of Ireland. Even at that age, I was able to grasp the thrilling independence that came with having my own income. The truth is, that thrill overwhelmed any sense of frugality: I blew my paycheck on an outfit to go out dancing at a local disco. As our team at Glamour sat down to plan this issue, the Money Issue, I thought a lot about that experience and so many others over the years in which I had to learn, bit…

“Wearing a T-shirt under a one-piece makes for a supercute look that can work for the pool or walking downtown.”—Kelly Moreira (@lylie_moreira) Now Make It Last We’ve all been there: A swimsuit looks great in the store, then becomes a shapeless, pilled mess after a few trips to the beach. Gwen Whiting, cofounder of luxe garment-care line The Laundress, shares her three swimsuit maintenance commandments: 1. Thou shalt wash by hand. First, use the targeted precision of a hard bar of laundry soap (try the Laundress Wash & Stain bar, $6, amazon.com) to scrub the waistband, straps, and underwire—areas prone to sweat buildup or sunscreen that could cause yellowing. Then soak for 30 minutes in cool or warm water with a bleach-free detergent. If you’re traveling, shower gel can work in a pinch. 2. Thou…

We Just Made the Dream Suit for Sizes 14 and Up!

REMEMBER WHEN TAYLOR SWIFT HAD THAT FOURTH OF JULY PARTY AND HER #squad was decked out in red, white, and blue? I was sad that I didn’t score an invite, but if I couldn’t crash the gates of the Rhode Island estate, I was determined to steal the look. Alas, retailers had other ideas. That summer, and every summer since, I haven’t been able to find anything close to one of those firecracker swimsuits in my size. As a size 14 woman (give or take), I can’t walk down Fifth Avenue and casually shop. More retailers are beginning to design for a wider range of sizes, but some are just for show (i.e., with limited inventory, accompanied by my favorite line, “We don’t carry that size in stores, but we do…

Next-Gen Eye Makeup

AT LONG LAST, NEUTRAL EYESHADOW HAS REACHED THE END OF the line. “People used to want to be very safe,” says Hung Vanngo, celebrity makeup artist and a Marc Jacobs Beauty ambassador. Now there’s a move toward adventure, he says, with classic smoky eyes swapped for bright shadows and tinted brows, or eyeliner traced inventively over your lids. Daring and fun, it’s the beauty equivalent of the arms-raised emoji, the physical manifestation of “Why not?” On the next page, meet the eye makeup that will help you make an entrance. NEGATIVE-SPACE LINER Welcome to the new frontier of eyeliner, with carved-out looks giving minimalism a distinctly cool twist.

Clean Beauty for Life

MAKEUP ARTIST Gucci Westman’s glowy, is-she-orisn’t-she-wearingfoundation signature look has made Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson longtime devotees. Now the rosacea sufferer, vegetarian, and mother of three is using her clean-living approach to inform her new makeup and skin care hybrid line, Westman Atelier. We had a few questions. Glamour: There are hundreds of new product lines out there. What makes yours different? Gucci Westman: Bright, beautiful colors and incredible textures. My products have no silicones and are hyperconsciously crafted. I wanted them to melt into your skin. I have rosacea, so I wanted to do a foundation stick—I love the control of a stick—that was going to calm my skin down and work against redness. Glamour: Have you always lived by a pared-back approach? GW: I spent my youth in the Swedish countryside, and…

Tousled & Center-Parted For that effortless, French-girl vibe, like that of Parisienne Jeanne Damas, rough-dry the roots of your bangs with your fingers, waving them back and forth for a less defined part, says hairstylist Danielle Priano, who’s responsible for the bangs on models Taylor Hill and Elsa Hosk. Next, take a two-inch round brush and roll it under the ends only, for a little volume (don’t worry, this won’t give you nineties mall bangs since the roots are already dry). Follow with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($46, oribe.com), then pinch bangs at the roots to help them fall in an unfussy way. If you need a midday refresh, add a bit of dry shampoo (try Dove Refresh + Care Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo, $4, at drugstores) at the roots. Eye-Grazing…

Sneaky Skin Cancer Risks to Know Now

SKIN CANCER IS TERRIFYINGLY COMMON— 20 percent of Americans will eventually get some form of it, and more than 36,000 women will be diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest type, this year. Most of us know the best prevention: Wear sunscreen daily, stay out of the sun during peak hours (that’s 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., FYI), avoid the literal deathbeds that are tanning salons. OK, easy enough. But other things up your risk too. Turn the page and get smart about four more culprits. Surprising Risk Factor: Your HPV Status There are more than 100 types of HPV, and you’ve probably heard a lot about the ones that are sexually transmitted and increase the risk of cervical cancer. But certain other kinds affect your skin; they are common and can cause dry,…

Could You Give Up Your Signature?

I’VE WANTED A SIGNATURE SCENT SINCE I WAS old enough to convince my mom to buy me glitter-filled perfumes from Claire’s. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve graduated to more sophisticated, less sparkly fragrances, but I still love the idea of being immediately identifiable by an amazing smell. After the perfume that I’d been wearing since college was tragically discontinued (there may have been tears), it took a while to find a replacement. I gravitate toward clean, floral scents, so I scoured the shelves of Sephora, going through bottles of Elizabeth and James Nirvana White or Fresh Citron de Vigne, but I still didn’t like anything enough to actually purchase a second bottle. It wasn’t until I unwrapped a bottle of Diptyque Do Son last Hanukkah that I found my new…

What It Costs to Be Me

THESE DAYS IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT WOMEN ARE SPENDING ON THE WAY THEY LOOK. Someone with Instagram-f lawless contouring might have honed her craft using the finest from the drugstore aisles, and the utterly makeup-free type might be spending thousands on laser treatments or skin serums. We asked awesome, busy women for radical transparency and loved what we learned (meet more of them on glamour.com). THE GOLFER TURNED BEAUTY PRO Maggie Noël, 30, Houston, @sheplaysgolf When you see Noël’s so-perfect-it-must-be-a-filter makeup, it’s hard to believe her when she says she’s “still learning about the beauty world.” Until not so long ago, her whole world was golf (the pro was voted one of the best young teachers in America by Golf Digest two years in a row). “I was into sports, and…

The Case for Dirty Skin

I WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE A GERMOPHOBE. THE LESSON WAS THAT bacteria and germs are bad; cleanliness is good. Antibacterial soaps (which the FDA banned in 2016) were a must in our house. When I was a child, my doctors gave me a Z-Pak at the slightest chance of a cold. Even a trip to the dermatologist for breakouts meant coming home with both topical and oral antibiotics. My obsession against germs continued into my twenties. After I moved to New York City, I’d wash my hands until they were raw, trying to cleanse away the sooty grime of the city. Turns out that the war against germs may be doing more harm to our health—and skin—than good. You’ve probably heard of superbugs, strains of bacteria that can’t be beat…

D.I.Y. SOOTHING MASKS

Green Tea & Honey Power Mask for Combating Redness • 2 green tea bags • a few drops of water • 3 tbsp. honey • 1 tbsp. coconut oil (optional) Cut open tea bags and empty contents into bowl. Add the water and mix with a fork to dampen. Add the honey and coconut oil, if desired, and mix. Apply the mask to clean skin, and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and a soft washcloth, then pat dry. The green tea removes impurities and reduces inflammation; the honey is antibacterial and soothing; and the coconut oil adds moisture. Jojoba Oil & Honey Power Mask for Acne, Psoriasis, and Sunburn • 1 tsp. jojoba oil • 1 tsp. raw honey • 2 to 3 capsules probiotics In a small bowl, combine the jojoba oil and raw…

How Not to Go Broke at the Doctor’s Office

WHEN YOU WALK INTO A JUICE SHOP, YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW much you’ll pay for a green smoothie. That’s true for almost everywhere you spend money—except your doctor’s office. You trust your doctor to run a test, and then you find out it wasn’t covered by insurance. You go in for what seems like a routine procedure, then get a bill (after insurance pays its share) for more than your monthly rent. Health care is a killer combo for anyone’s budget: unpredictable and expensive. As a result, as many as 56 percent of young women skip seeing the doctor because of the cost, according to a Glamour survey. But you do have some control over your medical bills. Here’s how to rein in those expenses, without putting your well-being at…

THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU…ONLINE

Telemedicine Insurers and even Medicaid have begun covering remote diagnostic services, so you can chat with a doctor online for help with everything from allergies to gastrointestinal distress. Some docs use an app called Hale; ask your M.D. whether her practice has this kind of secure system. Flat-Fee Practices For a monthly fee, Direct Primary Care practices give you unlimited visits and the ability to text with providers. It’s ideal if you’re willing to pay for easy access to a doctor. Insurance may cover tests or treatment, but membership’s on you. Google “concierge doctor” to find one nearby. DIY Health An app called Ada—think Siri or Alexa with a nursing degree—can help you decide if you even need to see a doctor. By asking simple questions about your health and symptoms, it recommends cost-effective next…

Is the Wedding Spending Craze Over?

PRICE WAS THE ULTIMATE REASON KERI Toney, 32, and her fiancé, Scott, 33, opted for an intimate wedding instead of a blowout. After picking a date and a local venue in Atlanta and whittling the guest list to 150, costs still hovered around $16,000. “We were paying for everything ourselves and had just bought a house,” she says. “We wanted to spend our extra cash on making our home beautiful. After all, that’s the place we’d be coming back to. It made me sick to think of spending so much money on eight hours of fun.” So they ditched those plans, booked a cabin in Colorado, and tied the knot in front of 10 friends in October. The price tag for the whole shindig, including their travel, accommodations, dinner and drinks…

What Is Good TV Sex, Anyway?

WHEN GLAMOUR ASKED ME TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT sexual empowerment, my first thought was, Oh, holy God—I have no idea. I mean, I have had some really bad sex in my life. Mostly because the cultural message I received as I grew up, both explicitly and implicitly, was that sex was a pleasure and prerogative reserved for men. I crafted my bedroom behavior around what I had seen women do on television: lots of excessive moaning and hair tossing but very little personal satisfaction. Funny, then, that my first big TV job was on a show called Masters of Sex. My character, Libby Masters, began the series entirely under her husband’s thumb—she literally called him Daddy. He didn’t view her as a sexual creature at all. Libby goes on to…

This Is Your Summer Reading List

Love and Ruin Romance, infidelity, war—Paula McLain’s powerhouse novel has it all. Based on real-life events in the late 1930s, Love and Ruin follows 28-year-old war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, who fell madly in love with Ernest Hemingway while the world devolved into chaos around them. Most riveting? How Gellhorn chooses between her own literary ambitions and those of the man she loves. The Favorite Sister Five ambitious women converge on a reality TV show—and one ends up dead. Jessica Knoll’s sophomore novel is a twisty, sexy thriller, jam-packed with wit and snark. Everything you wanted to know about what goes on off-camera is here: the secrets, the lies, and all the juicy details that make you speed through it like an episode of The Bachelor. The Female Persuasion Meet the novel of the #MeToo movement:…

CLEAR SPACE, CLEAR MIND

Former Editor in Chief, Glamour YOU KNOW THOSE PEOPLE YOU SEE HUNCHED OVER IN THE CORNERS OF COFFEE SHOPS OR AIRPORT LOUNGES, oblivious to the world outside? I find them—and their laser focus—inspiring. Just the idea that you could write the Great American Novel (or business plan) while the cappuccino machine roars three feet from your head and a toddler angrily throws biscotti at her harried father next to you feels like a testament to the human capacity for getting things done. Those people are amazing! But I am not one of those people. I’ve always craved a more peaceful place to work. When I was eight years old, I remember marching irately to the front of my third-grade classroom and demanding that Mrs. Horner silence the din raging around us so…

THE STREAMLINED STUDIO

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, my goal was to be a movie animator. I graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, where I studied digital media, focusing on motion graphic design and animation. After years of working as a Designer and Art Director at motion design studios, I became interested in working in other mediums like clay, initially as a contrast to working with pixels. My studio reflects all sides of my work. One side has my computer, the other, my paintings, and yet another has my wheel with my slab roller. The more creative outlets I bring to my space, the more my aesthetic grows in unique ways. I’m constantly readjusting my studio to utilize the space for each project I’m working on. For me, a clean studio…

Why Pricey Date Nights Must Die

ASK ANY EXPERT THE SECRET TO KEEPING THE marital spark alive, and they’ll likely talk your ear off about the value of regular date nights. I happen to be in a spark-filled union myself: My husband, D.J., and I have been married for five years, together for 12 (give or take a few breaks in our early twenties), and close friends for 15. Together we have a mortgage, a dog, a two-year-old son named Charlie, and a “cuddle blanket” we like to share while watching TV in our “comfies.” And while I prefer my husband’s company to that of anyone else—he’s a secret joke assassin and looks straight-up GQ in a suit—I loathe date night. In fact, I think the idea that a night on the town will make things…

How Much Does Your Date Night Cost?

$45 San Antonio “Stopping for an authentic Mexican meal with a drink or two is, at most, $40. Parking is $5 to $10. We are living with my parents until after we get married, so date nights are an absolute must right now.” —Taylor Wasilewski, 24 $67 Seattle “My boyfriend and I walk to a cool bar called Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co. and drink $30 worth of beers. From there we’ll get pizza, about $12 to $15, and take a $5 Uber to a concert where tickets are usually $10 each. After a long week, we’re always more than happy to spend some cash to relax.” —Laura Strzeletz, 25 $114 Elgin, Oklahoma “My husband and I don’t live near family, so we hire child care for $10 an hour.

5 Loaded Questions for Josh Duhamel

JOSH DUHAMEL, 45, IS DONE BEING YOUR FANTASY man. These days the newly single star of Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G., the scripted USA series about the infamous rapper feud, is all about truth—on TV and in his personal life. It’s a good look for Josh, really. What was it like to play a white detective during such a contentious moment in American history? JOSH DUHAMEL: Since there’s always been speculation about the cops being involved [in the deaths of B.I.G. and Tupac], I saw it as an opportunity to look at what it would be like for a cop not only in that time, but now. And it really is so black-and-white: People either don’t trust cops at all, or they’re pro-cop. I think what separates this…

It’s Time to Talk About Your Money

HISTORY HASN’T BEEN KIND TO WOMEN AND MONEY; THERE WAS A TIME WHEN A WOMAN couldn’t open a bank account or take out a credit card without her father’s or husband’s signature. Times have changed, but three facts remain: We earn less than men, we save less than they do, and we live longer. That’s not a successful combination. So we dedicated this issue to all things money. As Melinda Gates, cochair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, says, “Once you have your own money, you can do anything you want. You are not dependent on someone else.” Here’s to financial freedom.…

Welcome to the Melissa McCarthy Fight Club.

IF YOU STEP UP TO A NEGOTIATING TABLE IN Hollywood, pray you never find yourself on the other side of Melissa McCarthy’s “fists of justice.” That’s how her husband, comedian and Bridesmaids costar Ben Falcone, refers to the 47-year-old actress’s fiery resolve to get the roles and production deals she wants—and to make sure she’s not being taken for a ride. The fists are not to be dismissed, because they have helped her become one of the highest-paid women in the industry. “In the fight for fairness, everything else goes to a whiteout,” she says. “I always think, Is the deal fair? Would you be asking the same thing of a guy in this position? And if the answer is ‘It probably wouldn’t be happening [to a guy],’ I’ll dig…

MONEY SECRETS FROM 1,000 WOMEN Exclusive Survey

BACK WHEN MOST OF US WERE RELYING on the tooth fairy for our own meager incomes, the common attitude was that it was inappropriate or “in poor taste” to discuss money. Now the topic of women and money makes regular headlines (see: Ellen Pompeo opening up about her record-setting salary, and the head-slapping news that a woman who played a queen, Claire Foy, got paid less than the man playing a prince). And yet despite all the chatter, on a personal level things haven’t changed much: A full 67 percent of you don’t reveal your salary to friends; 82 percent don’t share it with colleagues. But experts believe there’s power in talking about how much we make, how much we spend, and how we’re investing, especially for young women, who…

My Whisper Network Helped Me Make an Extra $10,000 Last Year

THE GROUP TEXT DID NOT BEGIN WITH GRAND ambitions. It was a mundane back-and-forth about where we, five women who’d once worked at the same magazine together, should meet for drinks. Over time the text chain has become more than just a convenient platform to gossip about our old bosses—it’s evolved into a forum for sharing industry contacts, swapping job tips, and yes, talking hard salary numbers. When I was negotiating a long-term contract last year, I checked with the group: Did the fee seem fair? “That sounds low to me,” texted one. Said another, “I’d aim about 20 percent higher.” I did, and wound up making almost $10,000 more because of it. “Would you consider us a mini whisper network?” I texted recently. My phone buzzed with agreement. “I only…

Meet the Women Changing Crypto

WHEN DINNER CONVERSATIONS TURN TO CRYPTO-currency, as they often do these days, I brace for a grilling, because I’ve been a reporter covering the topic for six years. “Do you own any?” “Is it too late to get rich?” “What’s the next big coin?” The answer is always the same: I’m neither an investor nor a financial adviser. (So no, I’m not going to tell you whether to buy or sell either.) But the main reason I won’t give you advice is that, to me, the price tag on a digital coin is its most boring feature. What’s most fascinating about cryptocurrencies is they don’t care who you are. Be you a man, woman, person of color, trans, someone with bad credit, someone with no credit—if you can log on to…

Can You Really Make Any Money Through the Gig Economy?

A LOT OF WOMEN WHO BUSTED INTO THE professional world during the Great Recession have tried more than a few unconventional methods of making rent, but I never could have anticipated the recent Thursday evening I spent folding a stranger’s underwear. Let’s get to that episode in a second. First about me—I’m a journalist, proud of my profession despite its meager dividends. But sometimes I wonder: Could the gig economy (which, really, is a reductive little phrase used to describe easy-entry odd jobs that, when cobbled together, theoretically add up to a reasonable living or, at the least, a lucrative side hustle) make my budgeted life more comfortable? I decided to see what results might come of a full-court-press effort, and a willingness to try almost anything once. For my first…

CELEBS WITH SIDE HUSTLES

Lyndsey Scott HER HUSTLE: CODER Scott knows a thing or two about chipping away at the glass ceiling. As a model, she was the first African American to score an exclusive runway contract with Calvin Klein, and in STEM she’s coded top apps like Squarify and iPort. But starting her side gig didn’t come easily: “I’d get talked down to by guys in tech,” she says, “but my clients know I’m talented, and that’s enough.” Melissa George HER HUSTLE: INVENTOR The Good Wife star created Hemming My Way, a device that lets you self-hem pants with an easy snap. Why don’t you see her on the packaging? “I’ve played some not-so-nice characters, like in Alias, and I didn’t want my sales to be negatively affected!” she says. Her next big idea: a device that keeps…

You can’t pay SLICK WOODS to change

SOME THINGS SLICK WOODS REFUSES TO SPEND HER money on: clear nail polish, a comb, one of those dorky grips for her iPhone, the pricey streetwear brand Supreme. “It’s just stretched out and elongated Carhartt with labels on it,” the 21-year-old tells me over a 4:00 P.M. “lunch” in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. “Streetwear is supposed to be reliable, durable shit that makes you look poppin’ and get bitches. But if you can’t even get your phone out to get numbers because your sleeves are so long, who has time for that?” Some things she definitely has time and money for: lavish dinners with friends, weed, Backwoods cigars (to roll her weed in), extravagant floral arrangements. “I bought 16 bouquets of roses once,” she says. “They were $1,200, because…

Clean Beauty for Life

MAKEUP ARTIST Gucci Westman’s glowy, is-she-orisn’t-she-wearingfoundation signature look has made Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson longtime devotees. Now the rosacea sufferer, vegetarian, and mother of three is using her clean-living approach to inform her new makeup and skin care hybrid line, Westman Atelier. We had a few questions. Glamour: There are hundreds of new product lines out there. What makes yours different? Gucci Westman: Bright, beautiful colors and incredible textures. My products have no silicones and are hyperconsciously crafted. I wanted them to melt into your skin. I have rosacea, so I wanted to do a foundation stick—I love the control of a stick—that was going to calm my skin down and work against redness. Glamour: Have you always lived by a pared-back approach? GW: I spent my youth in…

Tousled & Center-Parted For that effortless, French-girl vibe, like that of Parisienne Jeanne Damas, rough-dry the roots of your bangs with your fingers, waving them back and forth for a less defined part, says hairstylist Danielle Priano, who’s responsible for the bangs on models Taylor Hill and Elsa Hosk. Next, take a two-inch round brush and roll it under the ends only, for a little volume (don’t worry, this won’t give you nineties mall bangs since the roots are already dry). Follow with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($46, oribe.com), then pinch bangs at the roots to help them fall in an unfussy way. If you need a midday refresh, add a bit of dry shampoo (try Dove Refresh + Care Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo, $4, at drugstores) at the…

Sneaky Skin Cancer Risks to Know Now

SKIN CANCER IS TERRIFYINGLY COMMON— 20 percent of Americans will eventually get some form of it, and more than 36,000 women will be diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest type, this year. Most of us know the best prevention: Wear sunscreen daily, stay out of the sun during peak hours (that’s 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., FYI), avoid the literal deathbeds that are tanning salons. OK, easy enough. But other things up your risk too. Turn the page and get smart about four more culprits. Surprising Risk Factor: Your HPV Status There are more than 100 types of HPV, and you’ve probably heard a lot about the ones that are sexually transmitted and increase the risk of cervical cancer. But certain other kinds affect your skin; they are common and can…

Could You Give Up Your Signature?

I’VE WANTED A SIGNATURE SCENT SINCE I WAS old enough to convince my mom to buy me glitter-filled perfumes from Claire’s. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve graduated to more sophisticated, less sparkly fragrances, but I still love the idea of being immediately identifiable by an amazing smell. After the perfume that I’d been wearing since college was tragically discontinued (there may have been tears), it took a while to find a replacement. I gravitate toward clean, floral scents, so I scoured the shelves of Sephora, going through bottles of Elizabeth and James Nirvana White or Fresh Citron de Vigne, but I still didn’t like anything enough to actually purchase a second bottle. It wasn’t until I unwrapped a bottle of Diptyque Do Son last Hanukkah that I found my new…

What It Costs to Be Me

THESE DAYS IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT WOMEN ARE SPENDING ON THE WAY THEY LOOK. Someone with Instagram-f lawless contouring might have honed her craft using the finest from the drugstore aisles, and the utterly makeup-free type might be spending thousands on laser treatments or skin serums. We asked awesome, busy women for radical transparency and loved what we learned (meet more of them on glamour.com). THE GOLFER TURNED BEAUTY PRO Maggie Noël, 30, Houston, @sheplaysgolf When you see Noël’s so-perfect-it-must-be-a-filter makeup, it’s hard to believe her when she says she’s “still learning about the beauty world.” Until not so long ago, her whole world was golf (the pro was voted one of the best young teachers in America by Golf Digest two years in a row). “I was…

The Case for Dirty Skin

I WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE A GERMOPHOBE. THE LESSON WAS THAT bacteria and germs are bad; cleanliness is good. Antibacterial soaps (which the FDA banned in 2016) were a must in our house. When I was a child, my doctors gave me a Z-Pak at the slightest chance of a cold. Even a trip to the dermatologist for breakouts meant coming home with both topical and oral antibiotics. My obsession against germs continued into my twenties. After I moved to New York City, I’d wash my hands until they were raw, trying to cleanse away the sooty grime of the city. Turns out that the war against germs may be doing more harm to our health—and skin—than good. You’ve probably heard of superbugs, strains of bacteria that can’t be…

D.I.Y. SOOTHING MASKS

Green Tea & Honey Power Mask for Combating Redness • 2 green tea bags • a few drops of water • 3 tbsp. honey • 1 tbsp. coconut oil (optional) Cut open tea bags and empty contents into bowl. Add the water and mix with a fork to dampen. Add the honey and coconut oil, if desired, and mix. Apply the mask to clean skin, and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and a soft washcloth, then pat dry. The green tea removes impurities and reduces inflammation; the honey is antibacterial and soothing; and the coconut oil adds moisture.

How Not to Go Broke at the Doctor’s Office

WHEN YOU WALK INTO A JUICE SHOP, YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW much you’ll pay for a green smoothie. That’s true for almost everywhere you spend money—except your doctor’s office. You trust your doctor to run a test, and then you find out it wasn’t covered by insurance. You go in for what seems like a routine procedure, then get a bill (after insurance pays its share) for more than your monthly rent. Health care is a killer combo for anyone’s budget: unpredictable and expensive. As a result, as many as 56 percent of young women skip seeing the doctor because of the cost, according to a Glamour survey. But you do have some control over your medical bills. Here’s how to rein in those expenses, without putting your well-being at…

THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU…ONLINE

Telemedicine Insurers and even Medicaid have begun covering remote diagnostic services, so you can chat with a doctor online for help with everything from allergies to gastrointestinal distress. Some docs use an app called Hale; ask your M.D. whether her practice has this kind of secure system. Flat-Fee Practices For a monthly fee, Direct Primary Care practices give you unlimited visits and the ability to text with providers. It’s ideal if you’re willing to pay for easy access to a doctor. Insurance may cover tests or treatment, but membership’s on you. Google “concierge doctor” to find one nearby. DIY Health An app called Ada—think Siri or Alexa with a nursing degree—can help you decide if you even need to see a doctor. By asking simple questions about your health and…

Is the Wedding Spending Craze Over?

PRICE WAS THE ULTIMATE REASON KERI Toney, 32, and her fiancé, Scott, 33, opted for an intimate wedding instead of a blowout. After picking a date and a local venue in Atlanta and whittling the guest list to 150, costs still hovered around $16,000. “We were paying for everything ourselves and had just bought a house,” she says. “We wanted to spend our extra cash on making our home beautiful. After all, that’s the place we’d be coming back to. It made me sick to think of spending so much money on eight hours of fun.” So they ditched those plans, booked a cabin in Colorado, and tied the knot in front of 10 friends in October. The price tag for the whole shindig, including their travel, accommodations, dinner and…

What Is Good TV Sex, Anyway?

WHEN GLAMOUR ASKED ME TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT sexual empowerment, my first thought was, Oh, holy God—I have no idea. I mean, I have had some really bad sex in my life. Mostly because the cultural message I received as I grew up, both explicitly and implicitly, was that sex was a pleasure and prerogative reserved for men. I crafted my bedroom behavior around what I had seen women do on television: lots of excessive moaning and hair tossing but very little personal satisfaction. Funny, then, that my first big TV job was on a show called Masters of Sex. My character, Libby Masters, began the series entirely under her husband’s thumb—she literally called him Daddy. He didn’t view her as a sexual creature at all. Libby goes on…

This Is Your Summer Reading List

Love and Ruin Romance, infidelity, war—Paula McLain’s powerhouse novel has it all. Based on real-life events in the late 1930s, Love and Ruin follows 28-year-old war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, who fell madly in love with Ernest Hemingway while the world devolved into chaos around them. Most riveting? How Gellhorn chooses between her own literary ambitions and those of the man she loves. The Favorite Sister Five ambitious women converge on a reality TV show—and one ends up dead. Jessica Knoll’s sophomore novel is a twisty, sexy thriller, jam-packed with wit and snark. Everything you wanted to know about what goes on off-camera is here: the secrets, the lies, and all the juicy details that make you speed through it like an episode of The Bachelor. The Female Persuasion Meet the…

CLEAR SPACE, CLEAR MIND

Former Editor in Chief, Glamour YOU KNOW THOSE PEOPLE YOU SEE HUNCHED OVER IN THE CORNERS OF COFFEE SHOPS OR AIRPORT LOUNGES, oblivious to the world outside? I find them—and their laser focus—inspiring. Just the idea that you could write the Great American Novel (or business plan) while the cappuccino machine roars three feet from your head and a toddler angrily throws biscotti at her harried father next to you feels like a testament to the human capacity for getting things done. Those people are amazing! But I am not one of those people. I’ve always craved a more peaceful place to work. When I was eight years old, I remember marching irately to the front of my third-grade classroom and demanding that Mrs. Horner silence the din raging around…

THE STREAMLINED STUDIO

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, my goal was to be a movie animator. I graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, where I studied digital media, focusing on motion graphic design and animation. After years of working as a Designer and Art Director at motion design studios, I became interested in working in other mediums like clay, initially as a contrast to working with pixels. My studio reflects all sides of my work. One side has my computer, the other, my paintings, and yet another has my wheel with my slab roller. The more creative outlets I bring to my space, the more my aesthetic grows in unique ways. I’m constantly readjusting my studio to utilize the space for each project I’m working on. For me, a clean…

Why Pricey Date Nights Must Die

ASK ANY EXPERT THE SECRET TO KEEPING THE marital spark alive, and they’ll likely talk your ear off about the value of regular date nights. I happen to be in a spark-filled union myself: My husband, D.J., and I have been married for five years, together for 12 (give or take a few breaks in our early twenties), and close friends for 15. Together we have a mortgage, a dog, a two-year-old son named Charlie, and a “cuddle blanket” we like to share while watching TV in our “comfies.” And while I prefer my husband’s company to that of anyone else—he’s a secret joke assassin and looks straight-up GQ in a suit—I loathe date night. In fact, I think the idea that a night on the town will make things…

How Much Does Your Date Night Cost?

$45 San Antonio “Stopping for an authentic Mexican meal with a drink or two is, at most, $40. Parking is $5 to $10. We are living with my parents until after we get married, so date nights are an absolute must right now.” —Taylor Wasilewski, 24 $67 Seattle “My boyfriend and I walk to a cool bar called Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co. and drink $30 worth of beers. From there we’ll get pizza, about $12 to $15, and take a $5 Uber to a concert where tickets are usually $10 each. After a long week, we’re always more than happy to spend some cash to relax.” —Laura Strzeletz, 25 $114 Elgin, Oklahoma “My husband and I don’t live near family, so we hire child care for $10 an hour. We…

5 Loaded Questions for Josh Duhamel

JOSH DUHAMEL, 45, IS DONE BEING YOUR FANTASY man. These days the newly single star of Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G., the scripted USA series about the infamous rapper feud, is all about truth—on TV and in his personal life. It’s a good look for Josh, really. What was it like to play a white detective during such a contentious moment in American history? JOSH DUHAMEL: Since there’s always been speculation about the cops being involved [in the deaths of B.I.G. and Tupac], I saw it as an opportunity to look at what it would be like for a cop not only in that time, but now. And it really is so black-and-white: People either don’t trust cops at all, or they’re pro-cop. I think what…

It’s Time to Talk About Your Money

HISTORY HASN’T BEEN KIND TO WOMEN AND MONEY; THERE WAS A TIME WHEN A WOMAN couldn’t open a bank account or take out a credit card without her father’s or husband’s signature. Times have changed, but three facts remain: We earn less than men, we save less than they do, and we live longer. That’s not a successful combination. So we dedicated this issue to all things money. As Melinda Gates, cochair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, says, “Once you have your own money, you can do anything you want. You are not dependent on someone else.” Here’s to financial freedom.…

It’s Time to Talk About Your Money

Welcome to the Melissa McCarthy Fight Club.

IF YOU STEP UP TO A NEGOTIATING TABLE IN Hollywood, pray you never find yourself on the other side of Melissa McCarthy’s “fists of justice.” That’s how her husband, comedian and Bridesmaids costar Ben Falcone, refers to the 47-year-old actress’s fiery resolve to get the roles and production deals she wants—and to make sure she’s not being taken for a ride. The fists are not to be dismissed, because they have helped her become one of the highest-paid women in the industry. “In the fight for fairness, everything else goes to a whiteout,” she says. “I always think, Is the deal fair? Would you be asking the same thing of a guy in this position? And if the answer is ‘It probably wouldn’t be happening [to a guy],’ I’ll dig my…

MONEY SECRETS FROM 1,000 WOMEN Exclusive Survey

BACK WHEN MOST OF US WERE RELYING on the tooth fairy for our own meager incomes, the common attitude was that it was inappropriate or “in poor taste” to discuss money. Now the topic of women and money makes regular headlines (see: Ellen Pompeo opening up about her record-setting salary, and the head-slapping news that a woman who played a queen, Claire Foy, got paid less than the man playing a prince). And yet despite all the chatter, on a personal level things haven’t changed much: A full 67 percent of you don’t reveal your salary to friends; 82 percent don’t share it with colleagues. But experts believe there’s power in talking about how much we make, how much we spend, and how we’re investing, especially for young women, who…

My Whisper Network Helped Me Make an Extra $10,000 Last Year

THE GROUP TEXT DID NOT BEGIN WITH GRAND ambitions. It was a mundane back-and-forth about where we, five women who’d once worked at the same magazine together, should meet for drinks. Over time the text chain has become more than just a convenient platform to gossip about our old bosses—it’s evolved into a forum for sharing industry contacts, swapping job tips, and yes, talking hard salary numbers. When I was negotiating a long-term contract last year, I checked with the group: Did the fee seem fair? “That sounds low to me,” texted one. Said another, “I’d aim about 20 percent higher.” I did, and wound up making almost $10,000 more because of it. “Would you consider us a mini whisper network?” I texted recently. My phone buzzed with agreement. “I…

Meet the Women Changing Crypto

WHEN DINNER CONVERSATIONS TURN TO CRYPTO-currency, as they often do these days, I brace for a grilling, because I’ve been a reporter covering the topic for six years. “Do you own any?” “Is it too late to get rich?” “What’s the next big coin?” The answer is always the same: I’m neither an investor nor a financial adviser. (So no, I’m not going to tell you whether to buy or sell either.) But the main reason I won’t give you advice is that, to me, the price tag on a digital coin is its most boring feature. What’s most fascinating about cryptocurrencies is they don’t care who you are. Be you a man, woman, person of color, trans, someone with bad credit, someone with no credit—if you can log on…
