When it comes to beauty, there's no shortage of options; seemingly every day there's a new makeup, skincare or haircare product to swipe, blend, dab and lather.
As a beauty editor, it's my job to put them all to the test and vet them against my tried-and-true favourites to see what's worth the hype—and your money. Here are five new beauty products I'm currently using on repeat.

This week, you’re likely to feel at least a bit worried about what is happening in your relationships and whether or not it’s sustainable. Instead of doing the classic Aries thing and rushing to a conclusion, challenge yourself to get present with your concerns and sit with them. I know it may feel like inactivity, but sitting with it is the best and quickest way to identify what’s going on for you. You don’t need to do anything about self-awareness, but it will certainly help when you’re ready.

April is hectic because many astrological events are happening simultaneously. The secret to managing overwhelm—especially in the face of change where we feel out of control—is finding structures to anchor you. Maybe it’s about stabilizing your routines so that your physical and mental health are secure and steady. Maybe it’s about showing up to your relationships so everyone has a community of support available. Whatever happens, allow enough time for rest and recovery. Notable dates for the month ahead are:

Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson grew up close to wildfires in Northern Alberta. While her family was always involved in firefighting efforts, before colonization, her ancestors “put fire on the ground” in early spring or late fall, when it was cool and damp—safe conditions for burning. Good fire, or “the kind of fire you can walk beside,” as one Elder recently described it to her, cleanses the earth of dead trees, branches and bushes and regenerates the growth of berries, medicinal plants and grass for moose and deer.
Cultural burning, which dates back thousands of years, prevents large-scale wi ..read more

Every spring while I was growing up, my mom would assign my three siblings and me the task of peeling the skins off soaked walnuts, pistachios and almonds to prepare Haft Mewa—a cherished dessert that translates to “seven fruits.” It’s a celebratory dish for Nowruz in Afghanistan. Walnuts were always the trickiest to peel as their fragile skins demand very delicate handling. As long as I remember, I’d find ways to avoid this task, leveraging my older sister status to convince my siblings to take on the task for me.
Nowruz is an ancient celebration that originated from Zoroastrian traditi ..read more
