The acclaimed British novelist Ian McEwan is baffled by the current obsession with sensitivity in the publishing world. "Be brave,"...

When it comes to most things, but especially travel, I’m not remotely close to low-maintenance; I plan my airport outfit well in advance, am very picky about hotels (my toxic trait is that I’m not the biggest fan of Airbnb — a girl needs amenities!), do not handle layovers and/or flight delays well, and am a serial over-packer. What’s more, I travel about once or twice a month, so all that’s to say, I put my luggage through a lot. However busy my schedule is, I have to say that the jet-setting life is one that I still really love — especially when I have the right products making sure my journey is a smooth one. And when it comes to travel, Calpak is synonymous with elevated essentials for on-the-go.

It’s time for spiritual restoration and creative expansion. As we round out Cancer season, we’re welcoming a much-needed change of pace. Mars, the planet of action, began a six-week transit in Virgo last week, and Mercury is continuing its two-week transit through the sign of Leo. This Earth-Fire combo sparks a blend of intellect and action in our minds and in our lives. The highlight of this week is the Cancer new moon occurring at 2:32 p.m. EST on July 17. This occurs on the same day that the lunar nodes switch out of the Taurus-Scorpio axis and enter the Libra-Aries axis. The next year and a half will feel karmically lighter and more expansive as a result of this shift, and all zodiac signs would benefit from focusing on living in the moment rather than trying to project themselves into the future. Venus begins its six-week retrograde in Leo on July 22 at 9:33 p.m. EST, signaling a time for introspection and reexamination of one’s core values. Less than twenty minutes later, the Sun enters Leo for the next four weeks. This Leo season will have a cosmic twist to it due to the energy of Venus retrograde asking us to be boldly honest with ourselves and learn from our past. What need for social approval can you do your best to release at this time? This week encourages us to direct our attention to intimately approving of our own selves, right here, right now, without seeking external validation. Validate yourself instead.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2023--

In this age of technology, it feels like there’s an option out there to meet anyone’s needs at any time. Our entire identities are in a cell phone and you can get salads from a vending machine at the airport — the machines are beep-booping harder than ever, and no corner of the beauty world has seen that more than skin care. More than a decade after Clarisonic (RIP) meant we didn’t have to use our hands to wash our face, there’s pretty much a technological device for everything: serums, dermaplaning, microcurrents, and more.
