In Stormy Weather by Chelsea Curto Review

Image
Okay, picture this: Florida in the middle of summer, absolute scorching heat, a record-breaking hurricane season brewing, and two ridiculously attractive, hyper-smart meteorologists who have been head-to-head rivals for years. First, you’ve got Quincy Monroe. She is an absolute powerhouse—PhD in atmospheric sciences, host of a massive online weather show, huge Instagram following, and total boss in a male-dominated STEM field. She’s driven, independent, and strictly focused on securing a massive career opportunity. Nothing is supposed to throw her off balance. Until Sebastian Dunn walks back into her life. Sebastian is her long-standing academic rival, her best friend’s older brother, and a flashy NYC TV weatherman that every woman in the room swoons over—everyone except Quincy, of course. They’ve had this quippy, high-tension bickering dynamic forever, and now they’re both back in Florida, trying to cover the exact same storm season. Because of their work, they get thrown into complet...

21 Everyday Management Challenges And How To Master Them

Image
Have you ever sat at your desk, already drowning in work pressure, and then looked over at a teammate who was getting hit twice as hard by the manager? That happened to me recently, and honestly, the vicarious stress was heavy. Watching someone else get squeezed until they're completely drained—while you're already counting down the days until you hit financial freedom just so you can step off the hamster wheel—makes you pause. It made me realize that so much of what we accept as "normal workplace culture" is completely broken. I was actually watching a movie the other day about how terribly we manage ourselves as human beings, and it added a whole new layer to these questions floating around in my head: Why do we let work take so much from us? And why are so many people in charge so bad at actually managing people? That exact spiral is what made me dive into Caroline Webb’s book, Leadership Intelligence . I didn't pick it up to read another dry corporate manual. ...

Whatever Makes You Feel Good, Do More of It: My Humans Being Activewear Review

Image
Whatever makes you feel good, has a positive effect on the world, and clears your mental space, do it. For me, sometimes that means getting outside, putting on something comfortable, and taking a walk without having a complicated plan. I have realised that looking after yourself does not always have to mean spending hours in a gym or following an intense workout routine. Sometimes, it can be as simple as walking, stretching, dancing around your room, taking the stairs or just finding ways to move your body that you genuinely enjoy. There is something about walking in a park that I particularly enjoy. Being surrounded by trees, greenery, and fresh air gives me a chance to slow down and clear my head. It is exercise, but it does not always feel like exercise, and I think that is what makes it easier to keep doing. The day these photos were taken, I went for a walk in the park wearing the 360 Performance Bodysuit from Humans Being . We had planned to spend more time taking photos, but,...

That exact feeling of visual peace is why I’ve been completely obsessed with this little book lately.

Flipping through the pages genuinely feels like taking a deep breath of fresh air on a slow morning. If you’re looking for the ultimate thoughtful gift for a book lover in your life—or just want a sweet, aesthetic piece for your coffee table that reminds you to slow down and romanticize nature—this is it.

Who on you...

Nigerian Rachel Ikemeh wins Rolex Award for saving rare red monkey

Image
Nigerian naturalist Rachel Ikemeh is the 2026 laureate of the Rolex Award for her work with communities in the Niger Delta to safeguard the region’s ecology and the critically endangered Niger Delta red colobus monkey. One of the 25 most endangered primates in the world, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the global authority on the health of the world’s species, is the red colobus (Piliocolobus epieni), a monkey the communities in the area call the epieni. It was first scientifically reported in 1993. At the time, it was estimated that there were roughly 10,000 epieni inhabiting its limited area in the Niger Delta. But by 2013, their numbers had dwindled to only hundreds, not thousands, of individuals, Ikemeh said in a research. In 2021, Ikemeh and colleagues helped create a community-protected area of 1,010 hectares (2,496 acres) for the epieni in Apoi, a town within the monkey’s habitat. The monkey population in the community-protected forest had dou...
