What do you think of when you hear the word patchouli? Does it make you think of the 1960s and 70s — or hippie culture — or worse, grandma perfume? The patchouli plant is a member of the mint family. It's an herb with strongly scented leaves as well as tiny pink and white flower clusters. Patchouli is known for its earthly, green, herbal scent with nods to its mint relatives. It's been used for centuries for fragrance, insect repellent, tea and alternative medicine practices.

Here's the thing about cheekbones: you don't have to be a makeup artist to make yours look amazing and you don't have to spend hours in front of the mirror contouring just to make them pop. Emphasizing cheekbones requires the tiniest amount of effort and product, but the payoff is major.

Once upon a time, not quite so long ago, sheet masks were a product almost exclusively available from the (majorly) expensive luxury brands. They were a serious splurge, a special treat reserved for only the most special of occasions. Fast-forward to today and, lucky for all of us, that's no longer the case. Drugstore brands have gotten into the sheet mask game in a big way, offering no shortage of fabulous formulas to treat any and every complexion concern. Here, seven of our favorites, all ringing in at $4 or less — proof positive that you don't have to spend big bucks for great skin.

Let's be real: Who wants to ruin a good blowout? In an effort to make our blowouts last, we resort to dry shampoos, dry conditioners and whatever else it takes to keep hair looking (and smelling) fresh. But a girl's gotta shower and all that heat and humidity can make a silky blowout look frizzy in no time flat. Which is why having a good shower cap is a must. Yes, your grandma's favorite shower accessory is back. And with brands like Kitsch and Drybar joining the movement, shower caps are not only functional but pretty darned cute too. (So cute, in fact, many double as a beach turban or protection from the rain.) Most importantly, they deliver on their promise to maintain our beautifully blown-out hair.

I've never been one to shy away from a potential beauty hack, especially when doing so entails digging around in the garden or my kitchen for a hero ingredient. I've extracted the gorgeous red dye from home-grown beets to make a gently staining lip scrub, have swapped avocado toast for a gooey green hair mask, and have smothered my face in thick honey in the name of glowing skin.
