YES, YOU ARE CTUALLY* GOING TO FINISH YOUR 2023 TO-DO LIST

Push past procrastination and tackle that tedious task, once and for all.

Dear Carol

For two years, I've had a huge crush on a popular boy. Last month he finally told me he liked me.

NEW YEAR... NEW BOO ?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL THAT IS YOUR 2024 LOVE LIFE.

WE SOLVED your holiday crush sitches YOU'RE WELCOME

Party plus ones, romantic gift exchanges, New Year's smooches...the holidays can be a ton of fun when you have a crush. But whether you're coupled up, stuck in \"will-they-won't-they\" or living your best single life, things are bound to get stressful.

HIGH MAINTENANCE FOR HABITS Mornings Low Maintenance

The beauty mantra for 2024? Work smarter, not harder. Invest your time in hacks that save you precious morning routine minutes where it counts (aka when the school bus is t-minus two minutes away).

MEET YOUR Mask Match

THESE ARE YOUR HAIR'S New Year's resolutions

GREASIES? DAMAGE? FRIZZ? SO 2023

ALL THAT Glitters

There is literally like a disco ball no better time to look

FIERCE FALSIES

Consider mascara your training wheels: Sure, it adds some fullness and length to your lashes, but you just know there's gotta be more.

Lily Brooks O'Briant - isn't staying in her lane

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who sit quietly through holiday dinner with the fam and people who will literally jump up in the middle of said dinner and belt out a Christmas song like they’re singing onstage in a sold-out arena.

You'll know your relationship is real when...

You've made it out of the talking stage, gone on that fated first date and maybe even accepted their homecoming ask. But how do you know if you landed on the right bae for you-and if this crush is meant to go the distance? Tune into these lowkey signals that you're in for more than a passing fling.

Your Back-to-School Mantra is...

It might not be the first day of school (yet!), but that doesn't mean it's too early to think about crushing the year ahead. Maybe it's a schedule set for success, an adorably aesthetic slate of outfits or a newfound outgoing energy to expand your crew. Maybe it's all of the above. Whatever it is, set an intention and start envisioning it. Because this is the school year you're actually going to go for it.

Better Skin by the First Bell

Outfit picked out? Check. Haircut scheduled? Yep. Breakout that shows up the night before? Not this year, honey.

*This* is the year you're gonna do your thing

Back-to-school season is equally thrilling and terrifying...and it's also the opportunity to find the courage to finally do, well, you.

Looking gorgeous IN YOUR GLASSES

The glasses girlies know: You spend your a.m. perfecting an eye look only to (ugh!) put on your specs and find your meticulous cut crease, well, cut right off by the cute frames you got for fall semester. No longer! This school year, we're all about making those pretty peepers pop from behind the lenses.

THE CHAOTIC GIRL'S GUIDE TO GETTING IT TOGETHER

It's back-to-school season, and while some of you may be thriving (we see you, Type A girlies), others...not so much. The end of summer is blah enough, but for chaotic girls, just thinking about being organized for the new school year can be, well, overwhelming.

Jenna Raine has a big dumb heart and the world has taken notice

If \"relatable human\" were a mood board, at its center would be a giant picture of Jenna Raine. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter oozes an approachable, insta-BFF vibe that's impossible to define...and impossible to ignore. She's the kind of person you meet and, five minutes later, it feels like you've been inseparable since kindergarten.

Dear Carol

I DON'T KNOW IF HE LIKES ME BACK... I have a crush and every time I see him, I always wonder if he likes me back. I really want to date him, but I don't know if he likes me.
