Another big year is coming to a close, but your time to shine is just getting started...and we mean that literally! Kick off the season of soirées with radiant skin, shimmery eyeshadows, and bejeweled hairstyles that’ll make every event unforgettable. But December’s theme isn’t just a PSA to add a layer of glitter to everything (which we wholeheartedly support, btw), it’s a call to share your light with everyone you love. Beaming smiles, sparkling personalities, and that lit-from-within glow that comes from good food and great company.

So while you’re cozying up on the couch and half-watching your fave holiday rom-com (is it Love, Actually or The Holiday?), we’ve got plenty of stories to fill your scroll—from horoscopes to head-to-toe inspo to profiles on our favorite pros.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.
