Anybody else itching to get outside? With warmer weather and longer days, we just can’t get enough of the great outdoors these days. May’s theme “Wild Beauty” is an ode to the final stretch of spring and everything that comes with it—wildflowers, sunshine, botanical skincare, less-is-more makeup routines. So this month, find time to reconnect with nature in whatever way you want (even if it’s just a walk in the park!) and let your imagination run wild.

We’ve packed the month with tons of May-centric content (it’s AAPI Heritage Month!) and must-reads for the moms-to-be out there—plus all the tips and tricks we’ve been bookmarking and scrolling through that we can’t wait to share.

(This is your official reminder that Mother’s Day is May 8th.)
