L'Oréal Professionnel’s SteamPod 3.0 is a new and improved tool that uses a combination of heat and steam to straighten hair, with 78% less damage than a regular straightening iron. The SteamPod is lighter, slimmer, and more convenient than its previous two incarnations and includes an integrated water tank and a rotative cord.
We tested the SteamPod 3.0 on one of OLM’s staffers to see how it works. Our web editor has thick, frizzy, shoulder-length hair that she usually flat-irons at least once a week. As much as we like her, her hair makes her look li ..read more

Fashion should be fun, and so should your eyewear. I love my glasses, and I think they are part of my DNA! I have always enjoyed wearing glasses that were guaranteed to get noticed, and I have been wearing BB (big bold) eyewear before they were even in style.
As with fashion, there are so many optical trends, but make sure you find the perfect pair of glasses to suit your face and your personality. During my travels, I always try to find unique eyewear that makes a statement but often, the stores don’t have what I am looking for. Boy, I am so excited t ..read more

Sure, every mall and high street in town got clobbered by Covid, but ByWard bars, restaurants, and the district’s one-of-a-kind boutiques were effectively imprisoned, first by a violent crime spree fuelled by…well, flip back a couple of issues for a subtle reminder. Then, just as hope began to unlock our little corner of ..read more
