Miley Cyrus on Finding Sobriety After Being a Child Star: “My Life Is So Beautiful”

After a turbulent coming of age in the spotlight, which included the release of Cyrus’s provocative “Wrecking Ball” music video and a risqué VMAs performance with Robin Thicke, “I wasn’t trying to kill Hannah off,” she told Variety. “I was just progressing.” Cyrus continued, “Being recognizable as a teen going through different phases and stages was sometimes awkward, but that’s what helped me relate to the kids watching at home.” She added: “I boldly and unapologetically presented myself to the world at that time, where I could have gone the other way and played it safe. Maybe that would have been successful at the time, and it wouldn’t have been such a cross to bear, but I wouldn’t have had the reward. I don’t know if I would have had the sustainability that my career has now.” In 2020, Cyrus changed her life by choosing sobriety. As she told Variety, “It’s no surprise that I had my experiences with drugs and alcohol. “I was so used to living at a high, and I don’t think I ever learned …

STRIIKE Co-Founder Kristie Streicher Reveals the Most Common Eyebrow Mistakes and the Easy Ways to Fix Them

Great eyebrows never go out of style, and Kristie Streicher knows exactly how to get them right. The celebrity brow artist counts Miley Cyrus, Adele, Emily Blunt, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Mila Kunis among her loyal clients, and now she’s sharing her biggest dos and don’ts with ET. For starters, The Nurtured Brow® creator says to do just that: take care of the eyebrows you were born with. Steve Granitz/FilmMagic “Early in my career, I noticed that so many people were over-tweezed or chasing trends that didn’t suit their natural bone structure or growth pattern. I became more interested in restraint than removal and in what happens when you honor what’s already there instead of forcing something new,” she explains. That approach eventually turned into her signature Strategic Tweezing method, a careful process that focuses on removing only what disrupts the natural architecture of the brow, while allowing it to grow back into its most balanced shape. “It’s about preservation as much as precision,” she shares. The result? Brows that perfectly frame the face. Kristie Streicher/Instagram …
