]]>The story of beef tallow’s return isn’t just a trend—it’s a reflection of a broader cultural and culinary shift. Recently, Steak n’ Shake made headlines when it announced that it would be switching back to beef tallow for frying its famous fries, a move that some saw as a nod to nostalgia and others as a calculated response to rising demand for “better” cooking fats. But this wasn’t just a business decision; it turned political when RFK Jr. publicly praised the decision, framing it as a victory for “natural” food sources over the processed oils that have dominated the fast food industry for decades.
Beef tallow itself has long been a staple in kitchens, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, before being replaced by vegetable oils and other fats. Now, it’s finding its way back into the spotlight, making a return not just in restaurants like Steak n’ Shake but also as a trendy skincare ingredient. So, what’s behind all the chatter?
Simply put, beef tallow is rendered fat from cows. It’s made by slowly melting down beef fat (primarily from the kidney and surrounding areas) to separate the solid parts from the liquid. The result? A thick, fatty substance that’s used in cooking, baking, and even skincare.
Tallow is primarily composed of saturated fats, which have long been criticized for their association with heart disease. However, it’s important to note that not all saturated fats are created equal. Beef tallow also contains monounsaturated fats (the “good” fats found in olive oil and avocados), which have been shown to support heart health in moderation.
Beef tallow’s resurgence is no coincidence. It taps into several current cultural and culinary trends, from the push for sustainability to the growing interest in “whole foods.” Here’s why people can’t seem to stop talking about it:
If you’re considering incorporating beef tallow into your diet, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons.
Beef tallow is having a moment, thanks to its return to the frying pans of iconic chains like Steak n’ Shake and its newfound role in beauty products. While it offers some health benefits, particularly for those looking for an alternative to processed vegetable oils, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you’re considering it for your kitchen or your skincare routine, it’s important to approach it with balance and awareness of your own dietary needs.
In the end, beef tallow might not be the miracle food some make it out to be, but it’s certainly an interesting option to explore—especially if you’re looking to embrace more traditional, sustainable practices in your cooking and self-care routines.

]]>Many of the trends on Pinterest’s list will transport you back to the 90s and 2000s, including the makeup looks inspired by these eras.
Speaking of trends that look straight out of the 2000s, Y2K-inspired highlights are going stronger than ever on Pinterest, along with Calico hair and heavy highlights on dark hair.
If you’re in the mood for a total hair makeover this summer, but highlights aren’t your thing, razer cut bobs, 90s layered bobs, mermaid braids, angel braids, and baby braids are also among Pinterest’s most popular searches.
In addition to angel braids, several angelic trends also made the cut, with glowy dewy makeup, doll eye makeup, and smokey silver eye makeup being listed under the “angel beauty” trend.
When it comes to nail art, this summer will be all about fruit prints! Grapefruits, blueberries, and strawberries are among the most popular motifs to try painting on your nails.

]]>The way to achieve this is by putting a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand. Then, you drag the thin edge of your spatula through the foundation. Slowly apply the foundation to small sections of your face at a time using a very gentle hand. Gentle blend with a sponge, and voila! You’ve got a perfect foundation application and glass-like skin.
Seeing how this trend has blown up all over TikTok and Instagram, it’s clear that this hack truly works. By using a spatula with minimal product, this method ensures that you get an even application all over your face, and it prevents cakey-ness caused by using too much product. Overall, we really recommend you give this method a try with your favorite foundation next time you do your makeup!

]]>Color will be making a splash in 2023! Bright, whimsical shades like periwinkle and indigo will appear on eyelids, while hot pink and violet will give a flush to cheeks.
With the ‘90s aesthetic still expected to be big next year, it’s time to break out that kohl liner. Line both the top and bottom of your eye and smudge it out a bit for that lived-in look. Then, top it off with loads of black mascara to create spiky lashes.
Magenta has been declared the Pantone Color of the Year, so expect it to be a key shade. The color will naturally look stunning on lips, but feel free to play around and incorporate it as blush and eyeshadow as well. Just focus on one area at a time!

]]>Confetti eyeliner was featured in MAC Cosmetic’s 2021 spring and summer makeup trend report and we’ve seen tons of takes of it on social media. All of them have one thing in common—bright colors. The look is a dotted, colorful take on a classic cat eye, with lots of room for experimentation and individuality. While our favorite has to be dotting your eyes with every color of the rainbow, subtler ones apply color directly to the lids.
What we love about the trend is you don’t have to be a master at makeup or a makeup artist to create it. It actually looks better when it’s imperefect, giving more of a confetti look.

]]>Don’t feel like wearing too much makeup this spring? No problem! Skinimalism is one of the biggest beauty trends of the year, and it’s all about finding the perfect harmony between makeup and skincare to give yourself a natural glow-up
Putting eyeshadow above our eyes and calling it a day is so passé, and we’ll take a different approach to our eye makeup this spring. Amazing under-eye looks are all the rage right now, and they’ll take your makeup game to the next level.
Red lipstick is one of those makeup trends that are never going out of style, but we’ll finally take a break from nude shades to fully embrace it this spring.
Floating eyeliner has been making waves in the beauty world for quite some time, and if you think we’re going to say goodbye to this cosmetics craze in 2021—think again.
Blue eyeshadow is another makeup trend we haven’t fully left in 2020, and it is still going strong together with other colorful eyeshadow shades.

]]>After years of rocking her signature high ponytail, Grande decided to switch things up a little bit this year and started rocking adorable pigtails for a while.
White eyeliner experienced a huge boom this summer, and the Grammy-winning singer put it on the map in the music video for her Lady Gaga collaboration “Rain on Me”.
Side bangs were one of the retro hair trends from the 90s that made a major comeback this year, and Grande simply couldn’t resist their charm and often paired them off with a high ponytail.
Speaking of retro trends that were ruling the world this year, thick headbands were popping up everywhere all of the sudden—especially in black and white.
As mask-wearing became the new normal, people started experimenting with their eye makeup more than ever, and often tried to match it to the color of their face covering.

]]>If you like wearing velvet in the winter, you’ll definitely enjoy having a matching manicure. Velvet nails have texture, dimension, and shine that make them perfect for the holiday season. However, they aren’t as fuzzy as the pictures make them look—it’s just the lighting trick that creates that effect.
Many different brands carry “velvet” nail polishes but you can get a similar effect with any holographic polish and the shiniest top coat you have. For the best effect, head to your favorite salon where they know what to do to achieve just the result you want.
Aren’t the velvet nails one of the prettiest things you’ve seen recently?

]]>Chunky highlights is a trend from the ’90s that came back and, if done right, it can look really good. The highlights should be a few shades lighter than the rest of the hair and can be done in combination with some other techniques like balayage or babylights.
Naturally gray hair, as well as hair dyed in silver shades, will be another huge trend in 2021. If you’d like to try it but aren’t sure about going all in, silver highlights may be just the thing you’re looking for. Hair dyed in silver requires a bit more effort but it’s absolutely worth it.
Looking for a change but silver is not for you? 2021 will be the year for dying your hair in copper shades, especially warm chestnut hues. Are you brave enough to try copper?

]]>Henna freckles have been a huge trend recently, especially on TikTok. Some love them and others hate them, but nobody can deny that they are one of the most popular beauty trends right now. Henna is often used for temporary tattoos and is considered to be safe for skin, but drawing freckles on with henna does come with certain risks.
The most important thing to pay attention to is the type of henna you’re using. There are many henna dyes that are meant to be used for hair coloring and those should never bee used on the face. This type of henna is actually illegal to use on the skin, according to the FDA.
In order to avoid potential harm, look for naturally-derived dyes, preferably from a henna artist who has experience using them on the skin. Don’t forget to do a patch test before committing!
