Tone and Style of Writing:
Friendly and conversational, but more authoritative than Cosmo. Most features quote experts, contain case studies and/or use statistics/reports. Now that I notice it, features also often reference topical popular culture eg one on real-life vampires refers to the Twilight series around the time True Blood was released. Hmmm.
