Innholdsfortegnelse for October 2019 i Cosmopolitan

I used to be obsessed with decorating my room as a kid. Nerd that I was, that meant…a Renaissance-themed space complete with a chaise lounge (why?) and a sheepskin rug (I don’t know, it seemed like the right vibe to my 8-year-old brain). I’m here to tell you that I’ve become a monster and taken my decor obsession to the extreme, but how could that be a bad thing when the result is so cute! Behold, the new Cosmo HQ, which has officially gotten a full (non-Renaissance) makeover: chic marbled wallpaper, candy-themed art, and animal-print everything. Our office glow-up, pulled off by our digital creative director, Abby Silverman, has done wonders for our attitudes and our Instagram feeds. And hey, there’s even a sheepskin rug. We got all our fave…

NOT AFFRAID TO CRY “The one movie that made me cry when I was younger was Titanic. It was the piece of plywood and Jack floating down to the bottom of the sea—aw, man. I’d like to stay true to the story and think, No, there wasn’t any room for him. Maybe it couldn’t have held up their weight!” ALL ABOUT THAT LOVE LANGUAGE “Having a partner who doesn’t always say yes to you, who contradicts you in a good way, and who gives you criticism to improve yourself is always better than somebody who is a yes-woman who just agrees with you for the sake of agreeing.” FREE DATE IDEA! “This is so cheesy….There’s a spot where I go to think on a dock by the water. I brought…

tiny sunglasses. The Masked Singer. Shoes with separated toes. Americans are into some extremely questionable stuff. We can probably chalk a lot of this up to strange personal taste, but our collective infatuation with kinda yucky but sorta hunky fictional guys is worth more than an eyebrow raise. Honestly, we *know* we shouldn’t lust over them. And if we stopped thirsting and started thinking about why they’re so messed up, we’d probably (maybe) be turned off. But that wouldn’t be any fun, and besides, most of these nasties have at least one redeeming quality, right? Right??? 1. YOUR CRUSH: THE JOKER Clown makeup, greasy green hair, and a rusty three-piece suit are what nightmares are made of. Yet… those dimples magically cancel it all out. WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU:…

not sure ‘bout you, but no matter how carefully I plan my getaway ensembles, my pics never even come close to looking ~travel influencer~. Also, I end up wearing the same thing over and over, because it always turns out that I hate everything I laid out in advance. So imagine my joy when I discovered how *actual* influencers pack: by color palette instead of by outfit. I know. Here’s how you, too, can break free. 1. Pick a palette Shift your eyes, like, one inch to the right for some preapproved ideas. Or start with a patterned piece you love and go from there. Blue and green florals on a pink background? Bam, you’re a palette-picking pro. 2. Scan your closet Go through and grab clothes in those shades,…

you know that gritty-ass exfoliator you’ve been using since high school? The one you scrub all over your face until it feels tingly and, okay, slightly raw? Yeah, there’s a really good chance it’s destroying your skin. Truth: Even though exfoliators are a hundred percent necessary, the wrong ones can do more damage than good. Harsh kinds can create micro-tears in your skin, weakening its protective barrier and rolling out a red carpet for bacteria, causing breakouts. So, permission to trash your old go-to granted. The exfoliator you should be using is made with chemicals—but not scary ones! I’m talking about gentle acids that dissolve the sticky substance that binds pore-clogging dead skin cells together, leaving you with Zendaya-like glowy skin. Basically, goals on goals on goals. A little more…

hey, it’s me, a Scorpio, here to tell you that Scorpio season has arrived—and that we are the BEST sign of the zodiac. Sure, we have a bad rap for being vengeful (and it’s true we never forget!), possessive (we do L-O-V-E what we love), and sexual AF (wait, is this a bad thing?). But there is a method to our madness, and we’re never going to BS you because we push for the ~deepest~ connections. Basically, we’re worth any sting, and it’s not so hard to successfully coexist with us….(I won’t forget to tell you “I told you so” later.) RULE 1 Avoid playing games “I admire the loyal friendship and love of a Scorpio, but they are also ruthless and will destroy your life if you piss them…

ARIES A diva. You already live loudly, so take inspo from fellow Aries (Selena, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham) and go with a sparkly look, or get theatrical with a campy villain like Maleficent. TAURUS Whatever you find in your closet. You’re too frugal to throw down in the drugstore’s seasonal aisle. Create a vampy look using your hottest LBD, or just be The Dude from The Big Lebowski (aka a great reason to wear a robe in public). GEMINI Something peel-off-able. You’ll get bored of your costume halfway through the night and start taking off layers anyway, so why not put on another costume underneath your Riverdale bomber jacket? CANCER Two words: “group costume.” Because you looove a coordinated squad photo. Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang? M&M’s? The Stranger Things kids?…

Sound the alarms, fam. Only 35 percent of hetero millennial men are frequently going down on their partners, according to recent research. This. Is. A. Travesty. Because unless you’re among the small crew of women who can get off from penetration alone (#Jealous), you likely need some mouth play in order to get yours. But apparently, that’s a lot to ask of dudes? Especially younger ones: An exclusive new poll by Cosmo and SKYN Condoms found that some men aren’t even attempting oral sex until later in life. Fourteen percent of 18- to 22-year-olds said they “don’t think it’s necessary.” And nearly 50 percent of 18- to 27-year-olds are more comfortable having sex than they are giving oral (compared to 32 percent of 28- to 32-year-olds). Here’s what’s up with…

the day I got my genetic test results, I ignored them. I came home from work and put on a big T-shirt and fuzzy pajama pants. My longtime boyfriend (now fiancé) cooked dinner. I didn’t even mention that the email from 23andMe was sitting unopened in my inbox. I wanted to wait until I was alone, so I could process whatever the truth was by myself. When I finally worked up the courage to open my laptop, my screen confirmed what my intuition already told me: I have the APOE4 gene that’s been tied to an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The average person has up to a 12 percent chance of developing Alzheimer’s—but for me, my chance skyrockets to 200 percent. Weirdly, I felt a sense of calm…

as a teenager, I had this fantasy: Me + my ninth grade Spanish partner, Thomas + our wedding = best day ever. There was a big white dress, an all-night dance party, and midnight fireworks (clearly, my daydreams weren’t on a budget). But no bridesmaids. Ever. My actual big day—February 16, 2019—also didn’t include any bridesmaids (or Thomas; sorry, Thomas!). And I don’t regret it. In fact, that’s probably the best decision I made (don’t tell my husband). Some cold hard facts: The average cost of being in a wedding party has ballooned to $1,200. And a lot of people are having to shell out that kind of cash—one bride recently went viral for having 34 ride-or-dies by her side. THIRTY. FREAKING. FOUR. I’ll do the math for you: That’s…

I recently made a decision that felt more like a personality change: stop overcommitting to social stuff and then canceling all the time. Which is how I became one of Those People who sends calendar invites for everything. Dinner with the group text on Friday? I’m hitting’em with a cal invite. Brunch with one other person on Saturday? ~Cal invite~. A friend coming to town who wants to see everyone at the clurb? You’re alllll getting that cal invite, guys. In the wise words of Britney Spears, I’m not a girl, not yet a woman—like, I’m young enough to have a ton of plans but too old to remember when they’re happening. Plus, invites guilt everyone into showing up (I’m not above it!). “Sorry, forgot!” doesn’t work when this shit…

When she tries to remember the feeling, she thinks of Drew*, a grad student with golden hair she dated in her mid-20s. Drew liked to touch the spot where her legs met her butt—and she loved to let him. She was so hypersexual that sometimes just tilting her hips into him, even fully clothed, could trigger that intense pulse-pulse-pulse deep inside her. That wild flurry of contractions that felt like every cell in her body was lighting up and regenerating. It felt, she thought, like magic. Then it was August 2010. Her gyno was brusque, businesslike. Sasha* entered the room with cold fluorescent lights and put her feet in the stirrups. She was a little nervous, but the doctor had said that a loop electrosurgical excisional procedure, or LEEP, would…

1 Less is more. “Don’t use a billion products on your hair to figure out what works for you,” says Carmen Graham (@Lynnettes Silhouettes). “I made this mistake at the beginning and was left with dull, sad curls. It was when I decided to Marie Kondo my routine that my hair started to look its best.” 2 Play around with protective styles. Twists, weaves, braids, wigs—they’re all styles that’ll shield your hair from the elements (as in heat, the environment, possibly your ex). “You don’t have to style it every day,” says Ebony Bradley (@EBsCurlyTV), “so there’s way less damage. Plus, when your hair is tucked away, it’s less likely to lose the moisture it needs to grow.” 3 Try low-manipulation looks. If you don’t want to keep your natural…

3A WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE Some of your hair will have an S-shape pattern, and some of it might be a bit looser or pulled out. HOW TO STYLE IT The goal is defined curls that aren’t weighed down. Rake a dollop of curl mousse through wet hair, then scrunch it up to add shape. 3B WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE Coarser and tighter than 3As, they usually have the circumference of a Sharpie. HOW TO STYLE IT These bbs are prone to dryness. Comb a curl milk through wet hair with a detangling brush, then layer on a hair oil to lock in hydration. 3C WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE They’re tighter than 3B curls—think the size of a straw or pencil—and thickly packed together. HOW TO STYLE IT Use a…

Just as your Sun sign explains why you’re obsessed with The Container Store (hi, Virgos!), the sauce you slather on your pizza, fries, and nugs hides some bizarrely correct insight into the dudes you keep tangling with. (Sorry, I’m about to ruin ranch for you.) THE SAUCE KETCHUP THE BOY Welcome to the basic club. He pretends he knows what he’s doing in the bedroom, like all guys, really, but this is the bro who mixes up your vagina and your back door because he’s too “in demand” to care. 1 THE SAUCE BBQ THE BOY Say hello to the self-perceived gentleman who calls you baby, sweetheart, and girl. He even compliments your hair on its fifth day of dry shampoo! Sadly, he’s doing the same for the five other…

1. You put your arms through before clasping it in the back… You’re a ninja at work, getting shit done without trash-talking your office nemesis. Sure, you’ve got opinions, but you prefer a subtler subtweet style. #ClassyBetch 2. You clasp it in the back, then put your arms through… High-key dependable and nurturing—you’re like the human version of your parents’ cable log-on and an SPF moisturizer combined. We don’t know you, but we’d date you and let ya meet our dog children. 3. You clasp it, then STEP INTO IT… First of all: What?! Secondly, even though your bra routine is maybe the most extra thing ever, you avoid a red lip, thirst trapping, and anything else that draws attention. Your casual personality makes you a delight to be around,…

in season 6 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Yolanda Hadid got sick. She told everyone she had Lyme disease, but her castmates diagnosed her with something else: a mysterious mental illness called Munchausen syndrome. For most Bravo addicts, this was fascinating—a totally unscripted plot twist that seemed serious and obscure and maybe true. The problem? Yolanda didn’t have Munchausen (she was actually physically ill). But the flame was lit, and suddenly, everyone was googling the sickness. Hollywood noticed, and poof: The intriguing ailment started showing up in more and more new TV shows and movies. In case you missed out on Sharp Objects, Ma, Phantom Thread, and The Act (P.S. go watch all of these things), Munchausen is when someone pretends to be sick, despite having nothing clinically…

planning on scraping the bottom of the streaming barrel for soul-wrenching Nicholas Sparks movies…again? Girl, enough. Sad boi John Green is waaay more capable of ruining your mascara. His stories cover nearly every kind of emotional distress you can imagine. Enjoy. START! FRIDAY NIGHT The Fault in Our Stars Start with a light appetizer because, let’s face it, you’ve already watched this movie about two teens who meet in a cancer support group 150 times. You’re probs not going to cry so hard you hyperventilate again. At this point, this downer is almost like a warm hug. SATURDAY MORNING Anthropocene Reviewed Gut-twisting stories about teens aside, Green also has a podcast where he reviews “different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale.” Basically (we think), he’s Yelping the…

You can’t go five seconds these days without hearing “inclusive” and “diverse” when talking about fashion (thank god). But true inclusivity isn’t just about sizes and races—it’s about opening up major moments to models with disabilities, too, like these four pros who are becoming serious forces in the industry. Get to know them now before you see them everywhere later. Her signature lewk: “Tomboyish, and I love mixing high-end with vintage.” Why she’s excited about stilettos: “Since losing my legs, I haven’t worn heels. But I actually just got the prosthetic feet that will allow me to put them on, so I’ll definitely be wearing them very, very soon. I can’t wait!” On her almost disastrous runway moment: “When I did my first show with Chromat, I was still learning…

When a rightswipe slides into your DMs with “What’s your sign?” it’s, um, a sign: They don’t really know what they’re talking about. What they’re actually asking is “What’s your Sun sign?”—or what sign was the Sun hanging out in when you were born? But that’s only part of your astrological makeup. To get the full picture, you need to know your Big Three. The Sun represents your sense of self and will. Where it falls in your chart is where you want to shine, how you want to be seen, and where your energy comes from. (P.S. When you read your horoscope, unless the astrologer tells you otherwise, you’re reading a Sun sign horoscope.) The Moon is your heart. The placement of this planet on your chart—aka your Moon…

“My aunt passed away right before my (former) best friend’s bachelorette party. I went, but she told me she didn’t like how quiet I was.”—BROOKE, 31 “I was the MOH in a friend’s wedding, and when we got to the dance floor, we found out that the bride’s dress had a bustle that didn’t work. I borrowed scissors from the caterers and cut off her tulle train! Brilliant or sabotage?”—LIZ, 32 “My friend, the bride, was so stressed that she snapped at a bridesmaid who said she was uncomfortable wearing so much makeup. The bridesmaid cried. Then the bride cried. I wanted to cry… for myself.”—IRIS, 29 “I was in a wedding where the bride assigned us dresses ‘by body type’….I ended up in a shift dress that looked like…

2ND CENTURYCE The Greek physician Soranus gives the first accurate description of the cervix as a distinct, separate part of the uterus. 1842 A century ahead of his time, a surgeon in Italy observes that cancer of the uterus rarely occurs among celibate nuns. 1943 A breakthrough happens when George Papanicolaou, MD, develops a way to screen for precancerous abnormalities on the cervix. Women start getting Pap smears, and from 1955 to 1992, cervical cancer rates drop by about 70 percent. 1953 More than 500 pages into famous sex researcher Albert Kinsey’s controversial book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, he writes that for some women, the cervix must be stimulated during penetrative sex to “achieve full and complete satisfaction in orgasm.” (Weirdly, the same book says that the cervix…

It’s not exactly surprising that Kennedy McMann picked up a Nancy Drew book when she was a kid. Practically every girl in America has read at least one of the classic mysteries. What does feel like a bit more than coincidence (or dare we say fate) is how obsessed Kennedy became. She didn’t just read all the novels—she played the computer games too. She cowrote a musical in college and referred to herself as Nancy Drew in one of the songs. Later, before the TV series even existed, her fiancé nicknamed her “Nancy Drew.” To Kennedy, Nancy never seemed like just a fictional character—it almost felt like she somehow lived inside Kennedy or like they were the same person: a strong-willed, small-town girl not afraid to take risks. So yeah,…

□ Bend over Yeah, you heard me. This is how you’ll know if your boobs are going to spill right out of that deep-V or if your ass is fully visible when you pick up your dropped phone off the floor. □ Sit down Does the waistline of those jeans make a gap in the back? Will your bare butt cheeks stick to the hot leather of your car in the summer?

ARIES (03.21–04.19) All this big Scorpio energy is making your deepest relationships undergo serious changes (sorry, boo). Mercury Retrograde at the end of the month brings breakups—followed by makeups, if you temper your temper. TAURUS (04.20–05.20) Some good news: You’ve landed either major new responsibilities or a brand-new gig. Some bad news: Your Google Cal is a reeeal pain in the ass. Basically, you’re Kris Jenner this month. DW, it won’t last forever! GEMINI (05.21–06.20) You’re snippy AF (thank moody Scorp season for that), so use this time to slow down. Order some greasy takeout, have a vibe-cleansing ugly-cry while binge watching This Is Us, and hell, even delete Insta for a hot minute. CANCER (06.21–07.22) Crabby, who? You’re feeling yourself and the potential for major romance and a damn…

I first tried this when one of my fave friends was nervous about starting a fancy new job.

Here’s my advice.…

“I’m hungover at a gas stat ion and everything hurts.” Head straight for the wall of fridges and grab a coconut water. Its electrolytes basically help your body’s cells function—and any kind of functioning is so key rn. (If this pit stop isn’t that fancy, a sports drink can also work.) Then search for a packet or to-go cup of oatmeal to get your blood sugar levels back to normal without further upsetting your stomach. “I’m at a fast-food joint I’ve never heard of, on a road trip I was dragged into.” If you are kinda hungry but mostly want a distraction from the poorly DJ’d complain-fest that is this car ride, go for the kids’ chicken nuggets (usually about four nugs). The protein and fat can keep you satisfied…

i thought weed was for couching and munchies and deep thoughts about Michael Scott’s emotional issues, but I guess I was wrong. A recent survey of jazz-cabbage users living in states where it’s legal found that 69 percent of people take the stuff before they exercise. As in, work out. As in, cardio and other things that require coordination. Researchers were also shook. “It seemed like legalization of marijuana would make people less likely to be active,” says study senior author Angela Bryan, PhD, a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Instead, she and her team learned that for a majority of people, using cannabis increased their enjoyment of exercise—and half said it even motivated them. Um, science, please explain? A majority of people said using cannabis… motivated…
