“Talking about women and money can sometimes feel like an uncomfortable conversation. It’s emotive, it can be misleading, and it certainly touches on some issues we’d rather avoid discussing. But that is the last thing you should do—money is an important topic to be engaged with. The bottom line is that women face a lot of gaps when it comes to money. The gender pay gap receives a great deal of attention, and rightly so. Worldwide, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. And according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2021, India…
Cosmo caught up with Dr Kiran Sethi—aesthetic dermatologist and author of Skin Sense—to elucidate the key pillars of comprehensive skin health.

Meet my new vacay buddy: it’s me! I am the buddy! As a grown, partnered-up, introverted extrovert, I sort of assumed going on vacation by myself was something I’d never do. Like, what is the point? I am not out here trying to eat, pray, love (TBH, probably just eat). Also, after months and months of seeing no more than the same four people, a group trip would be exactly what I needed. No. It turns out, no, no, no! Solo travel offers so much more than post break-up epiphanies—especially for anyone who’s been through 2020 and most of 2021.…

No-shower days have never been chicer. Daily shampooing—which may seem necessary as the humidity kicks in—is not recommended even during the hotter months of the year. “Washing *too* frequently can lead to stripped, straw-like hair, dried-out scalp, inflammation, and irritation, so let your scalp and hair strands tell you what they need each day,” says Dr Iris Rubin, Dermatologist and Founder of Seen Hair Care. That said, it’s just a matter of time before your parched mane turns greasy if left alone for far too long. Sporting oily, greasy strands take courage, and alas, not all hairstyles work well with an unwashed mane. If you skip a…
There are only a handful of shows you can watch over and over and over again without getting utterly bored of them. The Office is at the very top of that list. Michael’s obscene antics, Jim’s pranks, Dwight’s standoffish behaviour and everything else about the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin just never seems to get old. Even after numerous binge-watches, every that’s-what-he-said joke, every prank and every random conversation is just as funny as it was the first time we heard it (some of them are so bad, they’re good). If you agree and have been grinning and nodding along,…

Your guide to having a no-frizz monsoon! Let’s get something straight. The monsoon season is not your hair’s friend. All the proof we need to back this statement up is Monica’s Barbados look. The humidity and the moisture in the air are enough to turn your silky mane into a Pomeranian’s tail. It’s the season of the frizz. But we are here to remind you that it doesn’t have to be that way.
