Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion 2
Battle for a New Champion was a great idea, but casting did not do a good job. We needed to see more vets, and this hypothetical season will have a lot of veterans. We need someone who has been on multiple seasons to finally get that win.

I tried every Rhode product so you can perfect your own shopping list
Last month, my sister travelled to the United States and my number one request was for her to bring me back some rhode. Being a beauty editor I should know better, but the marketing has me in a chokehold and for years I’ve been dying to get my hands on it (the scarcity effect is real). I’ve also tried the Glazing Milk and Mist (thanks to a very lucky PR package) and can’t deny they work. Glazed donut skin, indeed.

One Battle After Another
Okay full honesty here; I was not looking forward to watching this movie. I HATED Killers of the Flower Moon and that was the last time I saw Leo DiCaprio’s face. I think the writing better be damn good to warrant a nearly 3 hour film, and that is almost never the case. And almost every time a film gets touted “film of the year” it's actually nowhere near the best film that came out that year. So this film had an uphill battle with me before I ever pressed play. But I am nothing if not incredible at objective analysis. So I fought through it anyway.
