21 Leading Ladies We WISH Would Launch a Lifestyle Site like Reese

May 23, 2015

Lifestyle sites from famous faces are everywhere these days. You know the regulars — Blake, Lauren, Gwyneth — and you know the newcomers — Julianne and Reese — and we’ve even introduced you to some hidden gems from stars like Shay Mitchell and Jamie Chung. While we wish every single celeb would let us a little more into their lives like those ladies — we’re looking at you, Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson (we get it, you like your privacy) — we feel like some well-known women would be open to going the lifestyle route, so we decided to make a list of our dream girls to fill that hypothetical bookmark folder. Below are the top ladies we WISH would be the next Goop.

1. Anna Kendrick: She’s hilarious on Twitter, has a sense of style (and humor) and is coming out with a book of essays. If those aren’t enough reasons for the Pitch Perfect actress to claim a URL, then how about a couple more: kitchen confessions and travel logs. Anna, we’re waiting. (Photo via Larry Busacca/Getty)

2. Sophia Bush: The Chicago P.D. star recently gave us some beauty tips, but we want MORE! Imagine a site filled with hacks to live a greener life, eco-living insight and even thoughts on a sustainable future. All wedged between makeup tutorials. Sophia, we’re ready to bookmark your page — just give us a name, girl. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

3. Emma Watson: Not only does the former Harry Potter star and future Beauty and the Beastheadliner pick smart women to play, but she herself is *pretty* brilliant as well. We could envision an Internet world where the recent Brown gradand U.N. Goodwill Ambassador provides us with longform pieces and discussions on all things feminism, world-issues and even a little beauty once in a while. (Photo via Chris Jackson/Getty)

4. Beyoncé: Yes, we know she run the world, but we wouldn’t mind it if she ran our lives as well. We imagine a site from Queen Bey would involve everything from living your best vegan life (recipes and all) to insight on how to rock the best footwear + activewear. Oh, and where to buy all of Blue Ivy’s things for our little ones ;) (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

5. Taylor Swift: If you’re looking for another destination for homemaking in the digital generation (after us, of course), the megastar’s inevitable site — totally inevitable, right? — would be the place to head to. She’s basically *the* best hostess (exhibit A, B, C and D), she knows how to decorate a home, she’s super stylishand she’s a tech gal. Yeah, whenever Taylor’s ready, she’s coming for Blake’s crown. (Photo via Larry Busacca/Getty)

6. Shailene Woodley: It’s no secret we would love our lives even more if The Fault in Our Stars actress was our BFF, but since that’s never gonna happen, an eco-living lifestyle site would be the next best thing. She could share all of her green living lazy girl hacks, expand on her bone broth mornings (and other natural health secrets) and share more how-tos on living your best eco-girl life. (Photo via Larry Busacca/Getty)

7. Jennifer Lopez: Not only does the multi-hyphenate lady always bring it on the red carpet — outfits and beauty — but she also is known for her insane body, show(w0)manship and life as a mom. Imagine if she incorporated all those aspects into a website with a touch of pulling off last nights’ edgy/revealing outfits and she would definitely have us checking it out every morning. (Photo via Kevin Winter)

8. Lena Dunham: She’s got an unpredictable style and a sense of humor, and she loves to write. So why not share more, girl? We’re thinking the actress could provide us with a cool Brooklyn girl site filled with stories of being on the inside and outside of Hollywood (and how awkward that can be), date nights with her man and adventures involving her dog. She could even start a funny ladies book club… because, duh. Bring on the unfiltered entertainment, Lena. (Photo via Larry Busacca/Getty)

9. Mindy Kaling: We obviously love Mindy (who doesn’t?) and we would jump at the opportunity to read more from the gal. Her book is amazing; her pre-fame blog, The Concerns of Mindy Kaling, gave us plenty of laughs; she knows how to offer date night outfit tips and she’s a pro-DIYer (see her GIF ecards and her holiday door hangs, Wreath Witherspoon). With those credentials, all the actress really has to do is choose a URL and get to publishing. (Photo via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty)

10. Kristen Bell: How amazing would a site centered around the pratfalls of raising kids be told from the eyes of this hilarious and opinionated lady? Not only could the Frozen actress share those stories, but she could also provide cute date night ideas, guaranteed LOL-worthy tutorials and even some skincare secrets. Kristen, if you launch a site we will never *let it go* ;) (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

11. Sasheer Zamata: Not only is the Saturday Night Live cast member beyond funny, but she also loves a good DIY (check out her golden bull head and yarn wall hang). Picture this: a site — or even a YouTube channel — where she does tutorials on anything and everything featuring hysterical guests AKA BFF Nicole Byer all the time. Please make it happen, lady! (Photo via Neilson Barnard/Getty)

12. Hilary Duff: 2015 is a real renaissance year for the former Disney Channel star. We would totally get behind an Internet platform where the singer and actress shares how to rock it as a single mom with a new look who just so happens to also be rebuilding a career. Filled with style advice, solo mom tips, work-life balance pointers and proper hairstyle makeovers (or two), this would be a must read. (Photo via Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty)

13. Nicole Richie: Yes, the former Simple Life star has a blog, but she could totally amp that thing way up. When she’s not busy filming Candidly Nicole(or between BTS peeks), the pastel gal could offer shoppable OOTD looks, makeup tips, the proper ways to accessorize and even how to be the best hostess there is. All served up via her signature sassy voice. (Photo via Michael Kovac/Getty)

14. Demi Lovato: Yes, she is a professional when it comes to changing up her hairstyle and could offer some of the best color + cut tips out there, but we have so much more in mind for her. We’d like to think the former Disney star could be a budding Oprah-type for that generation and beyond. She is pretty in tune with healthy living, has shared her detoxing ways in the past and shares her workout secrets on a regular basis while being totally transparent about her personal struggles. (Photo via Jason Kempin/Getty)

15. Laverne Cox: The Orange Is the New Blackactress could really give us a ton with a site of her own. Before her book debuts next year, we think she should launch a site that is overflowing with experiences as a transgender woman so more people can understand the community. Add beauty secrets and a pro guide on public speaking (because she kills it every single time) and we’re THERE. Whether in long or short form, we’ll absorb it all. (Photo via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty)

16. Ellie Goulding: While she’s mainly known for her musical talents, she is also a super active lady. From this singer we would love to see a website dedicated to all things dealing with an athletic lifestyle. We think that involves workout routines, delicious + nutritious recipes, tips for staying active and healthy throughout the year and even some picks and guides on how to look good even when wearing athleisure outfits. (Photo via Karl Walter/Getty)

17. Drew Barrymore: The actress and mom has her own beauty line — Flower Beauty — and is known for living a green and healthy life. We would totally love it if Drew launched something that was a sort of hybrid between Goop and Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Life. (Photo via Jason Kempin/Getty)

18. + 19. Ellen DeGeneres + Portia de Rossi: Yes, they are both adorable (and hilarious). Yes, Ellen already had a lifestyle collection for QVC. Yes, the couple’s home is gorgeous. They’ve got it all, but it’s all kind of in separate places, so we think the duo should make a hub for all of their ventures while also expanding into pages for recipes, animals and straight up funny stories. Give it to us, girls. (Photo Jason via Kempin/Getty)

20. Alexa Chung: How does this fashionista not already have a site already? We ask ourselves this question on a daily basis. The Brit could totally offer up a sort of combo of the Zoe Report and Man Repeller that also includes insider info like nail polish made from kale and festival snapshots filled with tips. (Photo via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty)

21. Lupita Nyong’o: Though the actress may have a team behind her helping to get her looking flawless on red carpets, she has shown she knows a thing or two when it comes to beauty tips and tricks. She could launch a site that is all beauty and style, filled with beauty secrets, how-tos on making trends like a body chain work for you and even how to get her look — whether that’s with pearls or without. But please, pearls. (Photo via Larry Busacca/Getty)

This Major 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' Release Date Easter Egg's Been There The Whole Freaking Time

Taylor Swift has been teasing Reputation (Taylor's Version) for two years — or, at least, Swifties have been clowning over it for two years. When Tay showed up to the 2022 VMAs in a "Look What You Made Me Do"-inspired outfit, fans expected her to drop the first Rep (TV) single, but she announced Midnights instead. And history repeated itself at the 2024 Grammys, when Taylor showed up in black & white before announcing The Tortured Poets Department.

Even though some fans feel confused, NOT getting Reputation (Taylor's Version) in 2024 totally goes with the "2 re-recordings one year, 1 new album the next" pattern we've seen since 2021. But there's one huge Easter egg that's been pointing us to 2025 all along: it's the Year of the Snake.

Here's the one major Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date Easter egg that suggests Taylor Swift could drop it in 2025.

When is Reputation (Taylor's Version) coming out?

Let it be known we still don't have an official Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date yet, but after the "I Can See You" music video featured the number 2.16 (February 16), everyone eagerly awaited February 2024 with baited breath...only to receive nothing. But now I've turned my eyes to February 16, 2025 because DUH, releasing Reputation (TV) during the Year of the Snake (the icon associated with the entire 2.5-year era) makes more sense than anything.

"Some of us have been saying this since like 2022," one TikTok user jokes, while another rationalizes, "We had fearless, red in 2021 then speak now, 1989 in 2023 so reputation and debut in 2025."

The Year of the Snake officially kicks off January 29, meaning we could be in for a late-January announcement, but some fans think Taylor will announce the album on New Year's Day 2025 in honor of the closing track on the album. In my opinion, it makes total sense to get Reputation (TV) for the first half of the year, and to wrap up the re-recording era with Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) for the second half of the year before transitioning to her new movie (and a potential TS12, of course).

Will there be a Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

Yes, we're getting a Reputation (Taylor's Version)! Taylor Swift announced she'd be re-recording all of the albums leading up to Lover after she was unable to buy the rights to her music. In addition to more modern versions of all our favorite Taylor Swift songs, she's also added brand new tunes (called "From the Vault" tracks) as bonus songs for each album. Tracks like "When Emma Falls In Love (Taylor's Version)", "Timeless (Taylor's Version)", and "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)" quickly became fan favorites!

Reputation has always been my favorite Taylor Swift album, and I can't wait to see what kind of vault tracks we get. At its core, Rep is a love album that also address fear and hope, and Reputation (TV) is going to be the one re-recording you won't want to miss.

5 "Overrated" Beauty Finds I Regret Buying In 2024

You'd think someone with acne-prone skin wouldn't buy viral beauty finds without doing thorough research, but I'm not above trying to recreate all the latest makeup trends at home. All this did was remind me that everything isn't for everyone — and that's okay! Well...it's not okay I fee like I wasted money, but at least I know what to stay away from. And now I'm here to help you figure out what to avoid as well!

Even though this products didn't work for me, that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't use them. These are just my least faves of the year — take 'em or leave 'em!

Here are all the overrated beauty finds I wish I wouldn't have bought

Amazon

1. MILK Hydro Grip Primer

I should've known better than to buy this again, but I wanted to see if my skin would react better to it. The first time I tried to use this, I broke out along my jaws in tiny, red bumps. They were itchy and eventually turned into dark spots that took me over a year to get rid of.

Instead of letting that be the red flag that kept me away from this beauty find, I decided to use it in place of my trusted e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip Primer I've been relying on. Two things happened:

It created a beautiful base for my makeup.
I didn't break out, but my faced still felt itchy.

I even switched my makeup brushes and checked to make sure other makeup products weren't expired. The culprit continued to be this primer so it's made it to my overrated list.

Amazon

2. KORA Organics Kakadu Plum Vitamin C Serum

I was initially sent this to test, but I decided to buy it myself to see if I truly like it. While it was easy to add to my skincare routine lineup, I realized I actually didn't need to spend $70+ for an effective Vitamin C serum. The only difference between this serum and the one I truly love are their colors and textures.

This one has a slightly yellowish-orange tint to it while being a little thicker compared to the Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C serum I use. The latter is thinner and 100% transparent, plus the odor is slightly stronger. However, both of them aid in smoother skin, smaller pores, and a healthy glow.

I honestly wouldn't buy this one again just because I can get the same benefits for a lesser price.

Amazon

3.NYX Cosmetics Fat Oil Lip Drip

This is a controversial take, but I honestly didn't love the NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip. Although I love the color payoff, it was too sticky for my liking. I saw reviews that mentioned this, but I've purchased lip glosses other people didn't love that worked for me in the past. However, the reviews are telling the truth: the stickiness takes away from what could've been a great formula.

I'll just stick to my Tower 28 Lip Softie Hydrating Lip Treatment in Ube Vanilla!

Amazon

4. L'Oréal Voluminous Panorama Washable Mascara

I know people love this beauty find because it is great. I just didn't think the hype was enough to convince me to buy it again because my essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara gets the job done for $5. I will say I love the washable feature of L'Oréal's version, but it's still not enough to make me willingly spend over $10 for it.

As great of a product as this is, it's overrated to me because of the price tag.

Sephora

5. Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation

Sigh...it's so hard for me to admit this, but this Haus Labs foundation has become my most overrated beauty find of 2024. It's not that it doesn't work for a few hours, but my skin prefers tinted moisturizers more than anything. I talked about it briefly on TikTok, but skin tints feel like you're not wearing anything on your face.

I'm always really oily after wearing this foundation for a few hours, but I can get extended wear out of the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Tint I've been wearing. I like to think it's because it has vegan collagen, ceramides, and cactus extract in it whereas this foundation has ingredients like fermented arnica in it.

Both do a great job of calming inflammation, but something about this foundation makes my skin think it's incredibly dry.

See All The Pics From Taylor Swift's "Surprise" Eras Tour Party From Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift's birthday (which any Swiftie will tell you is December 13, 1989) is always a reason to celebrate. But this year, considering her birthday came five days after wrapping the Eras Tour on December 8, Taylor's BF Travis Kelce took things to the next level by giving the popstar an Eras Tour-themed party! And according to Jo-Jo Edwards-Hilaire, it was a total surprise. Not only did the guest list include some of your favorite celebs, but they all dressed up asTaylor, wearing outfits inspired by each Era in the concert. There's only one thing to say: Long live all the memories we made!

Check out all the pictures from Taylor Swift's surprise 35th birthday party, thrown by Travis Kelce.

Patrick & Brittany Mahomes celebrated Taylor Swift (and the Eras Tour) with themed outfits.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes showed up to Taylor's birthday wearing two of the best outfits of the night (which you can see on Brittany's Instagram): Britt was dressed as Fearless-era Taylor with a silver dress, jacket, and long curls, while Patrick was dressed in a suit just like Travis wore when he showed up onstage during "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" in June 2024!

"My people🫶🏼," Brittany captioned the post, adding the heart hands Taylor has become known for. In addition to Britt's on-theme outfit, Taylor wore a black dress with red lipstick, Lyndsay Bell donned a Lover-approved pink sparkly outfit, and Ashley Avignone added some Reputation into the mix by wearing a plush snake around her neck, Voldemort style.

Ross Travis also posted photos from the event (including his incredible pink suit embroidered with ballerinas, heart sunglasses, and feather boa), showing off an epic dance floor. I want to belt "You Belong With Me" with Taylor and Travis!

But an epic party wasn't the only way Taylor Swift spent her 35th birthday.

And Taylor Swift's surprise birthday party wasn't the only event on her calendar last week. On December 12, the singer spent time with patients at the Children's Mercy Kansas City Hospital, petting dogs, making TikToks, and signing Eras Tour books. It was such a sweet and memorable way to kick off her birthday!

One of my favorite things about this visit is that not only is Taylor writing each kid a personalized message on their Eras Tour book, but she gets down to their eye level and stops writing to look at them when they're talking. Just like her lyrics make us feel seen when we hear them, Taylor goes out of her way to make every single kid feel known and important, and it just makes us love her even more.

When one child said, "I like Travis now," Taylor immediately replies with, "Yes, me too. That's an absolute yes on that one." We'd have to agree, Taylor ;).

6 Home Decor Trends That Will Be Huge In 2025 (Thanks To Studio McGee)

Studio McGee has spent the last decade inspiring us with a blend of accessible and elevated designs, creating beautiful and totally livable spaces. In her 2025 Home Decor Trends report, Shea McGee emphasizes that home decor trends evolve gradually over time, and I couldn’t agree more. Unlike the fast-paced world of fashion, where trends shift every season, these design moves develop organically over time, and that's good for your wallet and taking your time to create a space you love. Get inspired to refresh your home in 2025 with a few new accents, from embellishments like fringe to maybe a little western or seaside art.

Here are Studio McGee's 2025 Home Decor Trend Predictions, with a few surprises!

Photo: Shade Degges | Design: Studio Mountain

Romantic Silhouettes

Take Romantic Silhouettes, for example. This is a trend we've seen steadily gain traction over the past few years. Think curvy furniture, delicate floral prints, and soft blush hues — when curated thoughtfully, these elements can become timeless staples in your home.

Western Cowboy

This is a design trend that totally surprised me, but I'm so happy to see it in the mix. Elements like leather furniture, rustic accessories, equestrian art, even wood walls, shown in this office designed by A1000XBetter, are making an impact in 2025 and beyond. But Shea notes that you can take this trend literally or just be inspired by the look. You can also mix it with other styles to personalize it for you. Add romantic pillows or ruffled tablecloths like McGee & Co. x Loeffler Randall Gardenia Ruffle Border Tablecloth – things you love that make it yours vs. based solely on one trend.

Saturated Colors

Shea predicts that rich hues like deep browns, oxblood red, and earthy greens will continue to dominate home decor colors going into 2025. House of Rolison's bathroom brown is an excellent example of this beautiful trend.

Pattern Drenching

Embracing a single pattern and drenching an entire room in it — from walls to pillows, headboards, and curtains — is a surprise trend for 2025. This maximalist approach, which has been quietly gaining traction, draws inspiration from Arts and Crafts designers like William Morris and has been in and out of vogue since the Victorian era.

McGee & Co.

Embellishments

This is a trend you can easily DIY to add an extra layer of charm to your decor. Think playful details like fringe accents —beautifully shown in McGee & Co.'s Philippa Settee — along with tassels, pleats, ruffles, and rope. It’s all about embracing texture and whimsy, so have fun with it!

McGee & Co.

Seaside Inspiration

Coastal decor has long been an influence in design and you can be inspired by it in many forms, from shell accents to beach-inspired artwork like McGee & Co.'s Distant Coastline art to textured seagrass baskets and jute rugs. Even the soothing hues of the sea — think soft blues, sandy neutrals, and gentle greens — can inspire your 2025 spaces.
