Gwyn, my youngest daughter, helped Tiger as we drove down the country road to the vet’s on what was to be his last Friday morning. Privately, both of us nursed a forlorn hope. We joked and laughed, trying to ignore the spectre that hovered over the cat sitting quietly in her arms. At 16, Tiger was old for a cat. In quiet dignity, he let Gwyn pet him, perhaps understanding that this was a special trip. I glanced at the two as I drove, and thought back to the day when Tiger first entered our lives. He had been a Christmas present to my second son. Brian, at six, wanted something that was his alone, something not handed down – as were his clothes and toys – from his older brother. Sadly,…

"Ilove the idea of creating a home for inspiration and not as a showcase,” writes Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez, president of the homegrown and family-owned furniture brand, Philux. “The elements in it should move you and convey aspects of your life, personality and individuality.” The newly minted author of Embracing Natural Design published by Rizzoli is an advocate of purposeful and intentional living. “I fill my space with a mix of simple and notable pieces that I hope to pass on from one generation to another.” Known for her exceptional sense of style, the beautiful Swiss-Filipina has been the face of many campaigns since her teen years. She’s graced many magazine covers and was awarded Tatler Asia’s Most Stylish in 2016. Her fashion sense is a mix of well-tailored pieces infused with…

MAN OF THE HOUR Musician Jon Batiste, who was the night’s most-nominated artist (11 nods), walked away from the Las Vegas show on April 3 with five wins, including Album of the Year for We Are. “I don’t really do it for the awards, [but] I really am so grateful,” he said backstage. Batiste also revealed on Grammy day that he secretly married author Suleika Jaouad, his longtime girlfriend, in February, shortly after she was diagnosed with leukemia for a second time. “Life has ups and downs. And sometimes the ups and downs occur at the same time,” said Batiste. “It puts it in perspective.” MORE STARS WIN BIG! STARS SHINE BRIGHT TREND ALERT: PINK!

01 SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 3 Foldables aren’t the ultra-expensive, often-unreliable devices they used to be – they’re the future of mobiles, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is proof of it. Hold one of these handsets and you can’t fail to be impressed by the superior build quality, the combination of glass and metal, and of course the 7.6-inch main display that folds in half when required. That means you get the benefits of a smartphone and a tablet in the same piece of hardware: a massive screen to do all your gaming, movie watching, emailing and working on, but also a device that’s compact enough to fit in your pocket. It’s waterproof too this time around, with support for 5G and the Samsung S Pen stylus. From £1,599, samsung.com 02 MORPHÉE SLEEP…

THIS FALL, NEWSWEEK, IN COLLABORATION with my company, the Best Practice Institute (BPI), will unveil the second annual Most Loved Workplaces list. The concept is simple: we feature the top 100 companies where employees feel cared for and respected—and have numerous opportunities for advancement. But before the new list appears, we’ll turn the spotlight on a few of the companies in the inaugural rankings. We started off with Pamela Maynard, CEO of Seattle consulting firm, Avanade, which was number 31 on last year’s list. Now we turn our attention to Chris Chen, CEO of Miami-based ChenMed, founded by his father, James. The company, number 36 on the 2021 rankings, operates a 3,500-employee chain of some 100 medical clinics that cater to Medicare recipients, many of whom are low income. ChenMed is interesting in…

Cornell Law School professor Saule Omarova was thrust into the spotlight in September when the Biden administration announced her nomination for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a branch of the Treasury Department that polices some 1,125 banks. The choice of the avowed liberal and outspoken finance industry critic united Wall Street and tiny community lenders against her. So far, a pretty standard Washington story. But things quickly grew uglier and more personal. Republican lawmakers raised the specter of a Soviet-style takeover of the finance system, leaning partly on an article Omarova wrote imagining a new role for the Federal Reserve as a kind of public bank—and by asking pointed questions about her biography. Omarova, who was born in Kazakhstan when it was part of the former Soviet Union…

Jennifer Straughan struggled with her weight for decades. By her mid-forties she had tried everything: diets, journaling her food intake, exercising constantly. “It controlled my life,” she says. “I would obsessively work out. I’d get up in the middle of the night if I forgot to enter something I’d eaten into my tracking app.” Worst of all, looking good was more than a vanity project. Straughan is a fitness instructor. At five-foot-three and hovering around 175 pounds, she found her clients becoming skeptical. About four years ago Straughan went for a regular checkup in her hometown of Toronto to a doctor who specialized in weight loss, and her stress all came pouring out. “For some reason, at that moment I just lost it and blurted out everything I’d struggled with for…

‘I’ve gotten more curious. It’s one of the great things about being an actor’ Whether trapped in a twisted love affair in Blue Velvet or fetishizing coffee and cherry pie as Twin Peaks’ special agent Dale Cooper, Kyle MacLachlan—who launched his career starring in director David Lynch’s dark fantasies—has always had a knack for noir. “I’ve been your guide through some dangerous places, like the boatman across the River Styx,” he reflects on a late-afternoon Zoom chat over coffee (one of “five or six” cups he has per day). But offscreen, as a husband and father, MacLachlan prefers the ordinary over the extraordinary. “I’m just a regular guy,” he says, “and being a regular guy is important to me.” That feeling was never more true than this past year, as MacLachlan enjoyed…

CHEF ASHLEY CHRISTENSEN and food writer Kaitlyn Goalen warmed up to their freezer big-time after collaborating on a cookbook for Poole’s, Christensen’s beloved Raleigh, North Carolina, diner. The couple ended up with a gold mine of extra goodies from recipe testing—think béchamel, compound butters, and meat and vegetable stocks. “We froze a lot of those leftovers and spent the next year using them up, which turned into a fun way to make our home cooking much more delicious,” says Goalen. In It’s Always Freezer Season (Ten Speed Press) they share their expertise, and the contents of their shelves. “It’s not all waffles and pints of ice cream,” says Christensen (though they do offer a mean sage-and-sausage-waffle recipe). One section of the book is devoted to savvy storage tips—we highlight a…

La vida de Najat Kaanache (San Sebastián, 1987) parece sacada de una novela de aventuras. De padres marroquís originarios de las montañas del Atlas, creció en Aya, «una lugar supermágico cerca de Orio, en Guipúzcoa, donde solo había un frontón y casi nadie hablaba castellano. Soy euskalduna, soy española y soy marroquí. Mi padre me enseñó que si no te integras, lo pasas mal. Por encima de todo, me considero ciudadana del mundo». Un mundo que conoce bien y que ha recorrido sin descanso. De niña soñaba con volar, así que, un buen día, preparó la maleta y aterrizó en Londres con la intención de estudiar cine y teatro. «Sentía la necesidad de expresarme, pero no sabía cómo». Allí, además de interpretación, aprendió un inglés exquisito (habla siete idiomas correctamente)…

CHEF CHRISTIAN GEOGHEGAN’S first food memories are of a round table heaped with hummus, tabbouleh and stuffed grape leaves, surrounded by aunts, uncles and cousins all sharing a meal prepared by Christian's grandmother. “Arab hospitality is built on making someone feel showered with love, and food is the way to do that,” says Christian, who uses they/them pronouns. That love is what Christian and business partner/fiancée/espresso extraordinaire Heather Webber try to convey with every dish, baked good and cup of coffee served at Hexenbelle in Traverse City’s Warehouse MRKT. The café opened in November 2020, offering breakfast and lunch along with weekly dinner specials. A rotating, all-vegetarian menu features global comfort foods, many inspired by Christian’s Palestinian heritage: coconut curry fried rice; maftoul (Palestinian couscous); lattes with turmeric and ginger; a…

Olivera and her husband, Bob, are hardly the first Sydneysiders to be lured to Queensland by the promise of a warmer climate and lower house prices. But back in the early 2000s, Bob also had his heart set on leaving the corporate world to pursue a career in the building industry. Today, he is co-partner of an award-winning construction company and, after 17 years of building for others, he’s just completed the couple’s long-awaited dream home in a riverside suburb of Brisbane. “Though I grew up in Sydney, I’ve always loved traditional Queenslanders,” says Oli, as she’s usually known. “Our first home together was a tiny terrace, one room wide and very dark. A sun-drenched timber house really appealed to me.” Step one was finding the right location. “One of the…

Long before we met, I thought I knew who Selma Blair was. As a pop culture buff, I’d watched her work, and I believed I could surmise what her life was like through red carpet photos, magazine covers, and movie screens. I came of age, and Blair rose to stardom, in an era before social media, when fans put public figures on a pedestal and projected a grandeur onto their every moment. On a recent Saturday night Blair and I met over Zoom. She was perched in front of a blue wall in her Los Angeles home, wearing a dreamy sequined Molly Goddard dress, with one knee pulled to her chest. I was in a New York hotel room, wearing my best red lip and quickly learning how wrong I…

The moment the year 2020 went from unusual to down-right weird for Brad Paisley may have been when the country star found himself doing surgery on his 11-year-old son’s puffer fish. Puffers’ teeth can sometimes grow so long they can’t eat, and this one was in dire need of a tooth trim. “Brad was looking up YouTube videos to find out what to do,” says his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, 49, with a laugh. “I’ve never seen him nervous before, but his hand was shaking.” Their son Jasper had already lost two fish, and Brad, 48, didn’t want another casualty on his hands. After Internet consultation, he added drops of clove oil to a bucket of water (“to put the fish to sleep,” Kimberly explains) and went to work with a…

“I want no white walls.” THAT WAS THE FIRST DIRECTIVE KATI CURTIS’S clients gave when she began work on their 1930s Tudor in Brookline, Massachusetts (which Curtis found on Zillow and “convinced them to buy”). “That,” says the pattern-loving designer, “was music to my ears!” One hitch: The home’s original layout didn’t allow in much light, which could have caused a color-rich scheme to feel claustrophobic. “It was a very inward-looking building,” explains architect J.B. Clancy of ART Architects, who was hired to help give the home a more modern flow, “and it was cut up into tons of little spaces with no access to the outside.” Curtis and Clancy came up with an unconventional solution, carving out a central stairwell above the entryway. The space acts as a sort of interior…

THE NIGHTS ARE THE HARDEST, when he lies there on his cot, the whine of the air-raid sirens in his ears and his phone still buzzing beside him. Its screen makes his face look like a ghost in the dark, his eyes scanning messages he didn’t have a chance to read during the day. Some from his wife and kids, many from his advisers, a few from his troops, surrounded in their bunkers, asking him again and again for more weapons to break the Russian siege. Inside his own bunker, the President has a habit of staring at his daily agenda even when the day is over. He lies awake and wonders whether he missed something, forgot someone. “It’s pointless,” Volodymyr Zelensky told me at the presidential compound in Kyiv, just…

In March a group of researchers inside Facebook Inc. compiled a report for Chris Cox, the chief product officer, to highlight a troubling trend that seemed to be accelerating: Facebook was losing popularity among teens and young adults. One colorful graphic showed that “time spent” by U.S. teenagers on Facebook in early February was down 16% from the previous year and that young adults in the U.S. were also spending 5% less time on the social network. The number of new teen sign-ups was declining, and people were joining later in life. Most people born before 2000 had created a Facebook account by age 19 or 20, the research showed. Facebook wasn’t expecting people born later to join the social network until they were much older, perhaps 24 or 25, if ever. The…

Before the wave of stories published on Oct. 25 revealed new details about the troubling ways Facebook Inc. runs its social networks, the company had been hoping to spend the week talking about its plans to expand beyond that business. A major theme at its annual Connect conference on Oct. 28 will be the company’s ambitions for the so-called metaverse, a new digital space that it believes will supplant smartphone apps as the primary form of online interaction. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has said pursuing this path will transform Facebook, and has publicly set a goal of attracting 1 billion users to the metaverse by the end of the decade. The metaverse has played a prominent role in science fiction for decades—the digital universes of the novels Snow Crash and…

When Tom Jones’s smash song “It’s Not Unusual” hit No. 1 in the U.K. and catapulted him to fame at age 24 in 1965, there was one question he’d constantly get asked: “How long do you think you’ll be able to keep up the momentum?” Now 80, the superstar singer chuckles over Zoom as he recalls the answer he repeated over and over. “‘I’ll sing until I’m 97.’ Why I said 97? I don’t know,” he muses from his London home. “But the closer I’m getting to it, I’m thinking it will be 97. Hopefully it’ll be 100!” If Jones’s life at 80 is any indication, his hope for two more decades of music may very well come true. While many stars have slowed down over the past year amid the…

High atop her perch on the worn wooden lifeguard chair at Comins Pond in Warren, Mass., Molly Bish could see kids splashing in the water, diving under the surface and building sandcastles on the tree-shaded beach. The fun-loving, athletic high school honor student was excited to be lifeguarding at the popular swimming spot—following in the footsteps of her older brother John, then 20, who had lifeguarded there for years before her. When he landed a different summer job, 16-year-old Molly jumped at the chance to step in, even though her mom, Magi, was apprehensive about her daughter manning the post at the secluded pond. “She reassured me,” Magi remembers. “She said, ‘Mom, I’m not worried.’” What Molly couldn’t see as she watched over the pond was the evil lurking in the…

Soft Goods White Lodge Studio / @wlodge_studio “I like learning how to use new materials—what works and what doesn’t.” This experimental attitude is the foundation behind the textile company White Lodge Studio, which Adam Seirup founded with his partner, Sara Mazdzer, last year. Everything the brand produces, from pillows to table linens, is handmade in Brooklyn, where Seirup and Mazdzer find inspiration in the urban landscape and discover new techniques to bring handmade goods to a wide audience. “We’re relatively new to fabric dyeing, so we’re in the rule-breaking and problem-solving stage,” Seirup says. “You have to allow yourself to make mistakes—but the results are so encouraging.” –Hadley Keller Ceramics D-Haene Studio / @dhaene_studio “I try to make something every day, even if it’s small and even if it’s not to be saved,” says Jane…

How do I grow beautiful hydrangeas year after year? —Michelle Cannon, Red Hook, N.Y. Adored for their fluffy pom-pom flowers, these plants are nature’s cheerleaders, typically thriving throughout Zones 4 to 9. But the various types require unique care for lasting impact. To ensure that yours explode with beauty every summer, heed the advice of Ryan McEnaney, communications manager at Bailey’s Nursery, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a spokesperson for ‘Endless Summer’ hydrangeas, on snipping, soaking, and feeding them. 1. Know Your Variety Most hydrangeas fall into one of three categories: panicle (cone-shaped, like those shown), smooth (large and snowball-like), or bigleaf (bigger leaves—you guessed it—in tighter globes or more open, lacy petals). The first two bloom on new growth; the last erupts on both new and old (i.e., the prior year’s branches). 2. Prune…

Send Help: the Lists Are Back THE FIRST silver lining of isolated living dawned on me about three weeks into the pandemic. Amid late-night cleaning, I came across the giant pad of paper I used for my family to-do list, tore off the crowded top sheet, and threw it in the trash. No, I hadn’t finally found the time to research day camps, help plan a presentation for my son’s kindergarten class, order a new living-room rug, or buy birthday presents for five different schoolmates. Instead, everything, even the need for my kids and my home to look presentable, had been canceled. It was as if a concrete roller had smoothed out an entire region of my brain. I may have missed the enrichment of being out in the world, but I…

DONALD TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SHOWERHEADS. Well, in one respect, anyway. There is something singularly demoralizing about bad water pressure, and one of the purest joys in this world is having a rinse under a powerful spigot. But this minor creature comfort in the vast sea of life’s indignities requires water, which the human race is consuming an awful lot of these days, so we citizens must do our part to conserve what remains. That’s why, in 1992, the Department of Energy limited how much water American showerheads can splash out to 2.5 gallons a minute. In 2013, amid a proliferation of multiple-showerhead fixtures, the Obama administration updated the rule: The limit would now apply to the total output of all nozzles combined. A few years later, though, Trump…

The waterfall outside the Lost Kitchen, the restaurant Erin French opened in 2014, is a reminder of how far she’s come. “The first year we opened, I would stand at the stove and look out the window,” says French, who started as a home cook and turned Freedom, a remote Maine town with only 719 residents, into a world-famous foodie destination. “It was like, ‘Oh my God, I would have never gotten to this beautiful point without all of that pain.’ I kept telling myself that I had to cry all of these rivers to find one waterfall.” In 2013 French entered rehab to treat an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. At the time, she was in the dark depths of a troubled first marriage, which resulted in divorce, a…

Renaissance woman in the truest sense, interior designer Sheila Bridges has hosted a TV show, published two books, and created the now-iconic Harlem Toile pattern every socially aware aesthete loves. The AD100 talent talks fast—ideas whirling out of her mind and mouth—and it can be tough to keep up. Searingly quick-witted, she somehow manages to balance charm, warmth, and humor without sacrificing her exacting eye. As layered as her interiors, this gracious spirit has used design as an avenue for experimentation and discovery for the last 30 years. “One of the things I really try to do in my interiors is to not use the same thing twice,” she says. There’s certainly no fear of repetition in a recent large project she completed in Bedford Hills, New York. Set on 23…

Before Joe and Anthony Russo were dreaming up film and TV franchises, they were part of the biggest one. The brothers directed two Captain America movies and two Avengers films, installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which together took in almost $7 billion in ticket sales. Now they’re the guys industry executives turn to when they want to create a cinematic universe of their own. Throughout most of the history of Hollywood, franchises were born out of success. The studios ordered up sequels only after a TV show or movie became a hit. But the money-minting capabilities of Marvel, which stitches together interlocking stories across some 20 movies so far, has inspired Hollywood to rethink its approach. “The blockbuster gave way to the franchise play,” says Donna Langley, the chairman of…

In her long career Jessica Walter was never the go-to actress for what she called “Miss Vanilla Ice Cream” roles. “I was always a character actor,” she said. Then, at age 62, she landed the role of a lifetime—one without a single drop of vanilla. On the cult classic Arrested Development, a comedy of breakneck ingenuity that aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006 before being resurrected on Netflix from 2018 to 2019, she was Lucille Bluth, the poisonously sarcastic, martini-swilling matriarch of a dysfunctional family. (Iconic line: “I want to cry so bad, but I don’t think I can spare the moisture.”) Walter wasn’t actually fond of martinis—they caused her “little palpitations,” she said—but she adored everything that came with the part, including strangers recognizing her and imitating Lucille’s…

Before you read a word, look at the pictures accompanying this story and answer this question: If the 911 GT3 RS carried a sticker price of $1 million, how long would you need to pick yourself up after you collapsed in laughter? Whatever your estimate, it’s likely fair enough on the surface. The 911’s enduring, insuperable popularity has encouraged Porsche to crank out as many derivatives of its 59-year-old sports car as its assembly lines can accommodate—and selling every one of them, mind you. Another year, another month, another week; ho-hum, look out, here comes another 911! People who don’t get it understandably hit the snooze button. If the average 911’s ubiquity is at least partially a result of its inherent goodness, the GT3 RS is the line’s bucket of dry ice…

Around Valdosta, Ga., everyone knew Kendrick Johnson for his love of sports. The 17-year-old Lowndes High School junior played basketball and football—and often stayed after school to shoot hoops in the gym or run on the track to boost his stamina. So when Kendrick didn’t arrive home after his school day Jan. 10, 2013, his mom, Jacquelyn, wasn’t too worried at first. He hadn’t cleared it with her, but she thought maybe he’d told his father, Kenneth, about his plans. When she discovered Kendrick hadn’t been in contact with his dad either, though, the panicked parents filed a missing-persons report. And the next morning Jacquelyn headed to the high school to alert staff that her son was missing. “The counselor hadn’t heard,” Jacquelyn recalls. “But then her phone rang. A…

Babies Glee alum Matthew Morrison, 42, and his wife, interior designer Renee Puente, 36, are expecting their second child. The two also share son Revel James, 3. Morrison revealed the news in a sweet Instagram Story, saying, “Baby loading.” • Lauren Bush Lauren, 36, who is George H.W. Bush’s granddaughter, welcomed her third child, son Robert Rocky, with husband David Lauren, 49, designer Ralph Lauren’s son. The two also share sons James, 5, and Max, 3. “We are so in love and happy that you have come to complete our wolf pack,” she wrote on Instagram. Health YouTube star Jeffree Star, 35, and a friend were hospitalized after a car accident in Wyoming. The car reportedly flipped three times after hitting black ice, leaving Star with a back injury. “My vertebrae, three of…

Jonathan Morris remembers the first time he realized the importance of a hotel’s first impression. “I walked into the Ace in midtown Manhattan, and there was an energy in that space,” he says, recalling how locals and travelers alike gathered in its hip lobby bar as a deejay played music. “It was a scene, right?” To Morris, a Fort Worth entrepreneur, it felt like the real New York. The 37-year-old Texan strove to create that same instant sense of place at Hotel Dryce, which he and co-owner Allen Mederos opened in August in Fort Worth’s Cultural District. In the Dryce lobby, furniture and throw rugs in shades of rust and gold warm up its dark blue walls and concrete floors while a smoky agave incense that Morris helped develop, Copal Cleanse,…

In the warmer months, we often focus on how our bodies look and how to get into “shape”. Negative body judgements can arise as well as a desire to “fix” perceived flaws. You may find yourself searching for solutions to the imagined problem that is your body. Instead of falling into the trap of believing you need to change how your body looks, I encourage you to be curious about how to change the way you relate to your body. Rather than being critical of yourself, I invite you to be critical of the unhelpful messages we are bombarded with from the media and our culture that are often internalised unknowingly (hello, “not good enough” beliefs). Turning towards your body with neutrality rather than judgement may be an unfamiliar path, but…

Awkwafina and I are going deep on our love for true crime. “Dateline is, like, king,” she says. We trade favorite episodes and she offers a spot-on armchair analysis of the typical perps. “It’s always the husband and it’s usually some kind of infidelity. And it’s…it’s…stupidity because they never cover their tracks, right? You know what I mean?” Her affection spans the full spectrum of the genre (Forensic Files, The Inventor, even a detour down the true-crime-adjacent Sex Sent Me to the ER rabbit hole), but her sweet spot is scammers, elaborate cover-ups, and scandals like American Greed. The psychological itch it scratches for her, she suspects, is a bit of schadenfreude: “I’m so glad that I’m not this stupid and this greedy.” During a short spell of downtime as COVID-19 sent…

Make a Habit of Putting Away Some Rainy-Day Savings Let me get this out of the way first: The primary way to reduce money stress is to have a few months’ worth of emergency savings on hand. The basic math is to add up the cost of your monthly housing, food, utilities, and gas, and multiply that by at least three, ideally six. Saving this amount acts as a vital financial buffer if, say, you’re between jobs, need extra child care, or—oops, need a new roof. Saving all this money is a heavy lift for sure, so start slowly if need be. The key is to save on a recurring schedule. For example, automatically moving $20 a day into your rainy-day fund for a full year amounts to more than $7,000. Throw…

MY DAUGHTER, Charlotte, used to cheer whenever she had soccer, ballet, or preschool, and goodbyes were easy. But that changed once she turned 3. She cried before school, refused to dance unless I held her hand, and wouldn’t leave her dad during soccer. Many things can shake a 3- or 4-year-old’s sense of security and make her feel an intensified longing for her caregivers, says Margret Nickels, Ph.D., a psychologist and director of the Center for Children and Families at the Erikson Institute, in Chicago. Anything from having a new sitter, seeing parental conflict, or even being overscheduled can make a preschooler extra-clingy. While a toddler may be upset when a parent leaves for work, a preschooler can anticipate separations. “She knows that on Monday mornings she goes to Grandma’s house,” says…

HEIDI GUILFORD RODE SHOTGUN IN HER BOYFRIEND’ S white Dodge Charger. Her stepsister and a couple friends sat in the back, with the windows rolled down for the smokers. It was a cool night in June—sweatshirt weather—an unremarkable Sunday on an island off the coast of Maine. They could have been in any small town, just about anyplace. A loud engine, blaring music, laughing shouts from the front seat to the back. And all around them: Quiet Heidi knew every inch of these roads. They all did. They’d grown up on this island, Vinalhaven, fifteen miles out to sea by ferry, a rock in the ocean that the glaciers hadn’t quite smoothed over. Seven miles by five, population 1,200, give or take, and triple that when the summer people showed up. They took…
