A new season is the perfect time for change. Whether it be your wardrobe, your hair, or your location, the summer is the best time to bring a fresh perspective to your life.


Another way to embrace change is to spice up your living space by redecorating your home and a new collaboration between Solange Knowles' Saint Heron and IKEA is aiming to do just that.

What happens when you take the eclectic, innovative style of Solange Knowles and combine it with the affordable, modern aesthetic of furniture giant IKEA? Well, you get their upcoming design collaboration that promises to be forward-thinking while offering designs that excel at multifunctional use.

First reported by industry insider Hypebae, head designer Marcus Engman confirmed early last month that IKEA would move forward with its plans to collaborate with Solange's creative company Saint Heron. The collection is said to "explore architectural and interior design objects intended for multifunctional use." The collaboration is part of IKEA's 2018 Democratic Design Days program.

Engman also said that the Saint Heron collab was essentially born out of curiosity. "At IKEA we are curious about the creative space in between architecture, design, art and music and how that could come alive in the homes of the many people. This is what we want to explore together with Saint Heron."

At press time, there is no release date for the Saint Heron x IKEA furniture collab, but you can get a sneak peek in the video below:

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
