Much of Instagram's video content is organized around transformation-the virtual magic of the before-and-after and clips that show cause and effect. A person makes pasta from scratch in 20 seconds via edits that compress time-intensive labor.

Pamela Anderson's new wicker furniture collection, 'The Sentimentalist,' for Olive Ateliers is a reflection of her love for gardening and outdoor living, showcasing her design sensibilities.

In the digital world that we're in, you know, negative videos are what goes viral. People are always knocking people down a peg and it's really easy to fall into that. If something bad happens-which, when you own your business, something bad happens every day- it's easy to circle in despair. But my challenge is to look for the positive and figure out how to pivot, and if something isn't working then figure out a different way to get it done.

It was negative forty-five degrees Fahrenheit at the South Pole on the morning of November 4th, 2023, when I departed Williams Field, a runway of compacted snow sitting on around ten feet of sea ice.

One of those timeless items is the instantly recognizable federal-style convex mirror. These gilded mirrors have been adorning American dining rooms and foyers since the 1700s, when the centuries-old European style was given a uniquely American touch - an eagle sitting proudly on top. Looking to add a touch of American history to your home? Authentic federal-style mirrors dating back to the United States' earliest days are going to run you into the many-thousands of dollars, there are also reproductions that have been made for decades. Here's what you need to know about federal-style mirrors, how to source them, and how to style them in your own home (even if they're the only Americana piece you ever collect!).

Cotillion dances have European origins, but in the poem, Black New Yorkers perform classic dances such as waltzes and quadrilles and are dressed in fine outfits. These Black debutante balls go back a long way, and are one example of African Americans trying to create a better life. Today, they continue to introduce young women into society and retain a strong emphasis on the participants' education.

The penthouse residence by Metaphors is defined by a balance of extremes, where bold neo-classical elements are combined with the raw mass of brutalism. The architectural program rejects a singular aesthetic, instead opting for a material collision that pairs deep-veined, sculpted marbles with intricately detailed ceilings and embossed wall panels.
