How To Talk About Birth Control With Your Doctor

November 08, 2021 at 01:00PM Options. You can never have too many. That is, until you’re faced with having to choose a method of birth control. Should you go for the pill or an IUD? Condoms or an intravaginal ring? To help you decide on the best type of contraceptive for you (and get the most out of it), we spoke with Dr. Kristin Terenzi, a family doctor based in Vaughan, Ont., for a simple primer on contraceptives and the top questions you should ask your doctor before starting or switching your birth control. Dr. Kristin TerenziWhat are contraceptives? Contraceptives are agents that prevent pregnancy ranging from physical barriers like condoms to chemical barriers like the birth control pill and even the intravaginal ring and IUD (intrauterine device), which are a combination of both. How do you decide what type of contraceptive is…

M&S’s Perfect Autumn Jumper is Finally Back in Stock

November 08, 2021 at 12:19PM There’s nothing that makes me quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This season, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high-street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ol’ M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement. (It’s my job, okay?) Naturally it sold out within a week, but we’re happy to announce that it’s finally back in stock!Coming in a statement-making shade of red with a classic crew-neck silhouette, this jumper just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously “trend-led,” and the cashmere fabric makes it feel undeniably luxurious. I also think it’s the sort of style that will look good for many seasons to come.Both WWW editor…

We Already Know This “Naked” Trend Will Be Huge in 2022

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM As part of what we’re calling “the great shrinkage,” designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where “floss” fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year.The “floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses. Their pieces have carved themselves out as one of the cult buys among fashion insiders in 2021.It looks like the micro-trend has a long life beyond this season, with designers including Balmain and Sid Neigum embracing the trend. Whether you opt for a micro mini or a slip skirt with G-string details,…

Dermatologists and Celebrities Swear By This Affordable Skincare Brand

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…

21 Magical Wedding Dresses Made for Autumn Brides

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM What makes a wedding dress suitable for autumn is ultimately down to your personal preference and what your overall wedding day looks like. Although I was an August bride, my wedding took place in my Scottish coastal hometown, so, erring on the side of caution, I chose a fitted dress to minimise the chill. Though it was sleeveless, I was prepared for what the enviable chilly downpour that ensued thanks to a beautiful, ecru leather jacket I bought on a whim just the week before. And I’m so glad I did, as I barely took to it off.I don’t think a bride should let the elements determine what they wear on their wedding day. I’ve had friends get married on snowy December days in strapless gowns that still look the beautiful part, but the season is something worth bearing in mind…

Basically Every Celeb Swears By This One Skincare Brand

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we get into this, we would like to preface this article by saying that no one needs to spend loads of money on skincare. When it comes to skincare, pricier doesn’t always mean better. You can get great skincare products for less than a tenner that will help get your skin on track and keep it looking as healthy as possible. With that being said, some of the best skincare products out there do come with hefty price tags, but an eye-watering price doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being ripped off. You see, when we’re talking about highly specialised ingredients, formulating a great product that actually works requires huge amounts of research, resources and knowledge, and that takes cash. One of the most highly regarded skincare brands to fall into this super-luxe, super-efficacious category is Dr. Barbara Sturm.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a…
