In a world saturated with too many trends, too many viral sensations, and too many phenomenal occurrences, it can prove difficult to not only stand out, but to also prove that relevance isn't just a derivative of a fleeting hype. This month, we course through the age of hype and figure out what matters to you the most.

Ever since breaking out into the mainstream some three years ago, Maine Mendoza has since come fully into her own. No longer overshadowed by a fictional caricature of a character, we now get to see the real woman behind the phenomenon. Driven, down-to-Earth and daring, Maine Mendoza proves that the way to success isn't just a one-of thing. For her, she is merely defining that path on her own time and terms.

Many similar paths are explored this month as we take on an unapologetic kind of luxury in fashion, beauty and lifestyle. We remember what one wise young woman once sang: if you want it, take it. If you like it, and can afford it, go for it. You've worked hard, a little reward doesn't hurt the bank account. So go ahead, indulged by all means, and within your means. That contented smile after is worth the price tag, trust us.
