]]>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 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.
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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Halloween came early for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, who spent the last weekend of October in Wonderland, dressed as Alice and Mad Hatter.
Halloween in Hollywood is incomplete without Heidi Klum’s iconic party, and she hit the red carpet dressed as a character from E.T. alongside her husband Tom Kaulitz.
Taika Waititi and Rita Ora celebrated their love for movies by dressing up as Zorro and Elena Montero and perfectly recreating the poster for The Legend of Zorro.

]]>The post Best Ways to Find Safe Accommodation When Traveling Solo appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>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.
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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
