Season 2 of Severance came to an end this past week and left us craving more sci-fi shows full of mind-blowing twists and turns. If you’re in the mood to discover some amazing series with a similar vibe while waiting for Season 3, here are five shows worth checking out.

Mr. Robot

Rami Malek leads Mr. Robot as Elliot Alderson, an unstable cyber-security engineer whose life takes a wild turn after he becomes a part of a hacktivist group trying to bring down a corrupt corporation he’s a part of.

Devs takes us to the underbelly of the quantum computing company Amaya, and centers on a computer engineer trying to discover its darkest secrets after her boyfriend mysteriously disappears.

Maniac

This Netflix mini-series stars Emma Stone and Jonah Hill as two strangers taking part in a mysterious pharmaceutical trial that turns out more dangerous than it first seemed.

Black Mirror

Black Mirror seamlessly blends the elements of black comedy and sci-fi, just like Severance, while exploring the ups and downs of technology and its effects on the modern world.

This year’s BAFTA Awards have given us another night to remember, and some of Hollywood’s biggest stars graced the red carpet in London. From Selena Gomez to Mikey Madison, these five celebrities rocked our world with their amazing fashion choices at this prestigious award show.

Mikey Madison

Mikey Madison collected a BAFTA for her performance in Anora in one of her best looks to date – an ivory strapless Prada gown, which she paired with a silk scarf and a statement statement diamond necklace.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore has been on top of her fashion game this awards season, and her multicolored, crystal-encrusted Alexander McQueen gown from London was a true work of art.

Monica Barbaro

Dazzling gowns were going stronger than ever at this year’s BAFTAs, and Monica Barbaro embraced this trend in her shimmering Armani Privé dress covered in draped crystal embroidery.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez was also shining brighter than ever in London on Sunday after hitting the red carpet in an off-the-shoulder Schiaparelli dress covered in silver sequins, crystals, rhinestones, and tassels.

Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia Erivo took a break from the dark dramatic dark gowns she was wearing during the Wicked promo tour and attended the BAFTAs in a lacy white gown with a sculptural top by Louis Vuitton.

They say that the comparison is the thief of joy—and truer words have never been spoken. Comparing yourself to others will only prevent you from becoming your most authentic self, and here are five things you can do to break the comparison cycle and never look back.

Identify Your Triggers

If constant comparison is having a negative impact on your mental health, put some effort into identifying your triggers and figuring out why you’re constantly trying to measure up to other people.

Social Media Break

Social media can create the illusion that everyone else’s life is better than yours. Comparing your lowest moments to someone else’s highlight reel won’t do you any good, so try to change your relationship with social media or take a break.

Practice Self-Care

Practicing self-care is extremely important when you’re feeling low. Focus on things that bring you joy, and consider starting a gratitude journal that will boost your mood and self-esteem.

Celebrate Your Strengths

Celebrating your strengths can help you gain back your confidence. Try to focus on your strengths, talents, and accomplishments instead of fixating on flaws that make you feel small and unworthy.

Compete With Yourself

The only person you should be competing with is yourself. Comparing yourself to others won’t get you far, and it’s a better idea to focus on your own goals and the ways you can achieve them.

The Golden Globes nominations set the tone for the rest of the award season and brought quite a few shockers our way. Emilia Pérez scored ten nominations this time around, but its domination caught us by surprise, along with these major shockers that broke the internet after the nominations were announced.

Surprise: Squid Game

Squid Game is yet to return to Netflix for its second season, and its inclusion in the best television series – drama left many Golden Globe fans pretty confused.

Snub: Best Motion Picture – Drama

Several movies expected to break into the best motion picture – drama, including Blitz, Sing Sing, and The Piano Lesson, failed to make the cut, leaving it up to September 5 to take their spot.

Surprise: The Substance 

Horror movies usually don’t get much love at major award shows, so it’s quite refreshing to see The Substance over-perform at the Globes and receive five nominations. 

Snub: Best Director

The best director field features many worthy contenders this year, but it’s quite a shocker to learn that Denis Villeneuve (Dune: Part Two) and Jon M. Chu (Wicked) will have to sit this one out.

Surprise: Sebastian Stan

It took some time for the Golden Globes to give Sebastian Stan his flowers, but he’ll enter this year’s ceremony with not one, but two nods for The Apprentice and A Different Man.

Snub: Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan has given us two great performances this year, in Steve McQueen’s historical war epic Blitz and the indie drama The Outrun, but it wasn’t enough to score a Golden Globe nomination.

Our favorite celebrities enjoy wearing matching outfits from time to time – especially once Halloween arrives! This spooky season was all about elaborate matching costumes, and we’re bringing you five amazing couples who gave this trend their seal of approval.

Solo travel has its perks, but you’ll have to put some effort into making sure you feel safe and sound during your trip. The accommodation you choose plays a huge role in ensuring your safety, and here are some things worth taking into consideration when looking for a safe place to stay.

Reputable Websites

Stick to reputable sources such as Booking, Airbnb, and Agoda when looking for accommodation for your solo trip because you’ll always have someone to contact if something goes wrong.

Positive Reviews

Pay close attention to reviews before making your booking, especially the ones left by solo travelers. They’ll tell you all you need to know about the overall quality of the place you want to book,  in addition to giving you crucial information about its safety.

Safe Neighborhood

The neighborhood you’re staying in can make or break your trip, so it’s important to tread lightly. Accommodation in shady areas might be cheaper, but you shouldn’t be looking over your shoulder every time you step out, so opt for accommodation in a safe, central area.

Accommodation Type

Between hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs, there are many different types of accommodation to choose from. Hotels and hostels usually have better safety measures in place and there’s always staff on the premises you can turn to, which isn’t the case with private apartments.

Ever wondered what it would be like to share a drink with your favorite celebrity? While we can’t promise you a seat at their table, we can introduce you to the next best thing—their personally curated alcohol brands. This fall, why not cozy up with these star-studded sips?

818 Tequila By Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila has been creating quite a stir since its launch. Named after the area code of her hometown Calabasas, this smooth, easy-drinking tequila comes in three varieties: Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. The Blanco is perfect for crisp fall cocktails. The Añejo’s warm, oaky notes make it ideal for sipping on chilly evenings. 

Aviation Gin By Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin is a softer, smoother take on the classic spirit. Its balanced blend of botanicals, including lavender, cardamom, and sarsaparilla, creates a versatile gin that’s great in a variety of cocktails. Try it in a fall-inspired gin and tonic with a cinnamon stick and apple slice garnish for a seasonal twist.

Casamigos Tequila By George Clooney

While George Clooney sold Casamigos in 2017, the brand still bears his influence. This ultra-premium tequila, co-founded by Clooney, is known for its smooth, clean taste. The Reposado, aged for seven months in American white oak barrels, offers hints of caramel and cocoa, making it perfect for autumn sipping.

When Hoda Kotb joined NBC in 1998, few could have predicted the indelible mark she would leave on American television. After a 26-year journey with NBC, Hoda Kotb recently announced her decision to step down from her role on the TODAY show. As she prepares to embark on a new chapter, it’s the perfect time to look back at the incredible career that has endeared her to millions.

A Dateline Star

Hoda Kotb’s journey with NBC began in 1998 when she joined as a correspondent for Dateline. Her compelling storytelling and dedication to journalism earned her critical acclaim, including a Peabody Award in 2006 for her outstanding reporting.

The Dynamic Duo of the Fourth Hour

In 2007, Kotb’s career took an exciting turn when she became co-host of TODAY‘s fourth hour. In this role, we saw a new side of her personality, a blend of her journalistic background with a more relaxed, conversational style. Then, the pairing of Kotb with Kathie Lee Gifford in 2008 created a beloved duo that captivated audiences for over a decade. 

Making History as TODAY Co-Anchor

Kotb’s career reached new heights in 2018 when she was named co-anchor of TODAY alongside Savannah Guthrie. Together they became the first all-female anchor duo for a major American morning show. In this role, Kotb continued to bring her warmth, empathy, and journalistic integrity to millions of viewers each morning. It is no exaggeration to say that she became one of America’s most trusted and loved news personalities.

If you’re one of those travelers who are constantly packing more clothes than you really need, it’s time to change your ways. Overpacking is not an option when you’re traveling light, and these useful fashion hacks can help you decrease the amount of clothes you’re going to pack.

Plan Your Outfits

Planning your outfits in advance is a must when you’re traveling light. It will help you eliminate the clothing you won’t have time to wear.

Neutral Colors

Try to pack clothes in neutral colors, such as black, white, gray, and beige, that you can re-wear during your trips because they’re easy to mix and match.

Buying New Clothes

If you’re prone to buying new clothes everywhere you go, don’t forget to leave some room in your suitcase and consider wearing them during your trip.

Right Materials

Try to avoid packing bulky clothes that take up a lot of space and focus on packing lightweight pieces that you can easily layer and wear more than once.

Versatile Shoes

A single pair of comfortable shoes is usually all you’ll need during your trip, as long as they’re versatile enough to fit into all your outfits.

Solo travel has its perks, but you’ll have to put some effort into making sure you feel safe and sound during your trip. The accommodation you choose plays a huge role in ensuring your safety, and here are some things worth taking into consideration when looking for a safe place to stay.

Reputable Websites

Stick to reputable sources such as Booking, Airbnb, and Agoda when looking for accommodation for your solo trip because you’ll always have someone to contact if something goes wrong.

Positive Reviews

Pay close attention to reviews before making your booking, especially the ones left by solo travelers. They’ll tell you all you need to know about the overall quality of the place you want to book,  in addition to giving you crucial information about its safety.

Safe Neighborhood

The neighborhood you’re staying in can make or break your trip, so it’s important to tread lightly. Accommodation in shady areas might be cheaper, but you shouldn’t be looking over your shoulder every time you step out, so opt for accommodation in a safe, central area.

Accommodation Type

Between hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs, there are many different types of accommodation to choose from. Hotels and hostels usually have better safety measures in place and there’s always staff on the premises you can turn to, which isn’t the case with private apartments.

Ever wondered what it would be like to share a drink with your favorite celebrity? While we can’t promise you a seat at their table, we can introduce you to the next best thing—their personally curated alcohol brands. This fall, why not cozy up with these star-studded sips?

818 Tequila By Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila has been creating quite a stir since its launch. Named after the area code of her hometown Calabasas, this smooth, easy-drinking tequila comes in three varieties: Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. The Blanco is perfect for crisp fall cocktails. The Añejo’s warm, oaky notes make it ideal for sipping on chilly evenings. 

Aviation Gin By Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin is a softer, smoother take on the classic spirit. Its balanced blend of botanicals, including lavender, cardamom, and sarsaparilla, creates a versatile gin that’s great in a variety of cocktails. Try it in a fall-inspired gin and tonic with a cinnamon stick and apple slice garnish for a seasonal twist.

Casamigos Tequila By George Clooney

While George Clooney sold Casamigos in 2017, the brand still bears his influence. This ultra-premium tequila, co-founded by Clooney, is known for its smooth, clean taste. The Reposado, aged for seven months in American white oak barrels, offers hints of caramel and cocoa, making it perfect for autumn sipping.

If you’re one of those travelers who are constantly packing more clothes than you really need, it’s time to change your ways. Overpacking is not an option when you’re traveling light, and these useful fashion hacks can help you decrease the amount of clothes you’re going to pack.

Plan Your Outfits

Planning your outfits in advance is a must when you’re traveling light. It will help you eliminate the clothing you won’t have time to wear.

Neutral Colors

Try to pack clothes in neutral colors, such as black, white, gray, and beige, that you can re-wear during your trips because they’re easy to mix and match.

Buying New Clothes

If you’re prone to buying new clothes everywhere you go, don’t forget to leave some room in your suitcase and consider wearing them during your trip.

Right Materials

Try to avoid packing bulky clothes that take up a lot of space and focus on packing lightweight pieces that you can easily layer and wear more than once.

Versatile Shoes

A single pair of comfortable shoes is usually all you’ll need during your trip, as long as they’re versatile enough to fit into all your outfits.
