Literally can’t escape “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!” on my TikTok algo. Not mad about it though. Won’t ever scroll past one of those videos.
For anyone flying in or out of NYC, you probably already know: JFK is a bit of a nightmare right now. I loved this clever graphic NY Mag published with some genuinely helpful navigation tips. And if you’re passing through Terminal 4 and need a place to recharge, my lounge pick might surprise you: Capital One. It has way better vibes than Chase Sapphire (tiny, cramped) and Amex Centurion (giving dungeon). And if you really have time to kill, the TWA Hotel is incredible. It’s worth even just a walkthrough—take my word for it!
Last week, a reader asked me to share what’s in my makeup bag, so naturally I made a TikTok on my flight back from Europe walking through every product I always keep on hand for my 5-minute makeup look. You can watch the video or shop everything here.
The biggest recent change? I’ve officially given up foundation for the summer. For years, I couldn’t find a tinted SPF or moisturizer that didn’t break me out or actually matched my skin tone, so I defaulted to the sheerest foundation I could find and put all my trust in setting spray. But after many failed attempts, I’ve finally found the one: a tinted sunscreen that’s perfectly matched, non-comedogenic, and makes my skin better and better with every wear. I wore it the entire time in Menorca, and my skin felt light, clear, and better than ever. We love a protected face!
Hotel Bella Grande —Copenhagen, Denmark
An ornate newcomer in the heart of Copenhagen as of last year, this hotel brings maximalist romance to Scandinavia’s capital of minimalism. Housed in a grand 19th-century building, the hotel blends Italian-inspired opulence with a playful Nordic sensibility alongside traditional Danish windows that flood each room with light. Downstairs, its in-house restaurant Donna is already a local hotspot, with candlelit tables and a throwback, high-glam energy. A place for aesthetes, romantics, and anyone who likes their city breaks with a little drama (me).

The JFK Amex lounge "giving dungeon" is sending me lmaooo. Related: what are the best LGA lounges to sneak into? (Sry if you've touched on this already elsewhere.)
