Outdoor

You’ve semi-successfully set up your tent, picked out your outfit and lined your stomach with a bacon and egg roll – so what to do before the good tunes start in the afternoon? Give yourself a killer Splendour beauty look (before you start day drinking, please) with the stuff you’ve already got in your make up bag.

Resident MUA + beauty expert Isabella Iasenzaniro gives you the tips on easy, impactful looks and the perfect second day hair, inspired by the runway.

Amandla Stenberg is cool. Not your nonchalant, Frenchy breed of cool. Not your high school popular, OC teen cool. Just straight up, owning herself, cool.

She’s more than Jaden Smith’s prom date, more than a cast member in Stella McCartney’s POP campaign (with equally excellent alums Grimes, Lourdes Leon + Kenya Kinski-Jones), and more than her appearance in Beyonce’sLemonade visual album.

Amandla is a new feminist icon, LGBTQI and #BlackLivesMatter advocate, accomplished essayist and damn stylish lady.

Think sheer and textured fabrications plus voluptuous frills and gold detailing. A sorbet palette is punctuated by vibrant navy, decorated with ribbon and delicate floral prints.

Probably a little late to give a “send-off” to this year’s class, but I wanted to write something that I wish someone had told me in the beginning. I can say that my second half of the hike was a lot more fun than the first half.

Not going into town as often and not finding people that I really connected with. Do your best to find that early. Having this discussion with a fellow thru-hiker Lightning, we came to the conclusion that the thing we missed the most was the people. The kind of motivated, stubborn, people with a mission are hard to come by in the workplace.

Getting a group of people together with a single mission, that won’t let the others fail, is not found in a lot of places. Remember as you press on, that all your experiences out there are better shared. Each summit, every weird trail town, all the beers, are improved by having fellow hikers around. Shared suffering and the shared joys are what made this hike

When I began the trail, I knew that I would miss the regular physical contact that I had with people in sedentary life. Everything from high fives, fist bumps, hugs, and handshakes – I would miss it all. Little did I know how strange and how hard it would be to feel love without that simple physical contact. Disclaimer – you might want to read up on the 5 love languages if you’re slightly confused about what I am talking about.
