I’m Iskra Banović, editor of Blufashion and the voice behind its fashion, beauty, and lifestyle stories. Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are my playground, but I'm just as likely to share the messy side of it all, like the time I tested a "must-have" skincare gadget and ended up with glitter stuck in my hair. I love turning trends and everyday finds into something useful (and fun) for real people.

Why People Cheat? Most affairs begin not because love has died but because one or both partners feel stuck in a dull routine, says world-famous couples therapist Esther Perel. Quick Answer for the Skimmers 1. Why “Boredom” Is More Dangerous Than Conflict Perel observes that most long-term pairs slide from fireworks to autopilot.
