Warm breezes, lush landscapes, major glow. This month, check in to a vacay state of mind with our theme: Hotel Paradise. Say hello to massages and matching mani-pedis, then unwind, and go ahead, order that room service (or delivery takeout if you’re planning a staycation). To help aid in your month of unwinding, we’re bringing you all the inspo, tutorials, and content you need to take care of number one—you. Keep scrolling to see what’s in store for the month of August.
