February 21, 2019 at 02:15PM by CWC Real talk: My body clock has not been working with me and my Eastern Standard Time way of life lately. I’ve been sending out middle-of-the-night texts like I’m in college again, just searching for a soul to communicate with and help me pass the time. Not even my trustiest... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 01:31PM by CWC Having spent many a gym sesh in the last few years sweating through Kayla Itsines’ BBG workouts, I would estimate that I have done upwards of 5,000 squats. And there’s a reason why the move—in its various iterations—is featured so heavily in her routines: Because it really, really... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 01:21PM by CWC In our culture, we don’t tend to talk about being “a little bit” addicted to something. It’s not like there are AA meetings for people who are “kind of” alcohol dependent, or a treatment plan for someone who is “a little” obsessed with working out. But a new... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 01:18PM by CWC In a world that’s (happily) gaining more socially responsible clothing brands—from fashion labels to sneaker companies to accessories makers—there are seven activewear lines in particular that are totally changing the game when it comes to sustainable workout clothes. Each has pledged to focus on organic materials, eco-friendly production... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 12:46PM by CWC In 2019, there is seemingly little that CBD can’t solve. Feeling anxious? Sip a CBD latte. Need to wear an uncomfy pair of high heels? Slather the stuff on your feet in balm form. Want to ramp up your romps in the hay? Slap some CBD lube on... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 12:40PM by CWC For me, self-care means taking the time to make a frothy warm matcha latte in the morning—and sometimes spending an extra five minutes in bed to cuddle with my pup before getting up. (Okay, always.) For celebrity makeup artist Alexandria Gilleo, self-care looks like a morning routine so robust,... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC When you sit down to enjoy a leafy-green salad, do you know specifically what each of the vividly hued fruits and veggies in the bowl are doing for your body? I know I don’t. The #eattherainbow lifestyle makes for vibrant sandwiches and top-notch crudité platters, but it does... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 11:55AM by CWC I have spent the better part of the last 10 years trying to find a conditioner that works for my hair. As a curly-haired woman with a full head of blonde highlights, I have a really hard time getting my strands to look anything other than brittle AF. I’ve tried... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 10:53AM by CWC It only takes a quick stroll down the colorful cereal aisle of your supermarket to realize most of those boxes don’t contain anything worthy of starting your day with. Most options are basically candy in disguise. In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, many favorites—including Froot Loops... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 09:05AM by CWC I’ve always been appreciative of the somewhat recent rise in popularity of pimple patches. They’re a genius idea: Rather than slather on an acne-fighting serum and hope for the best as you sleep, the patches act as a sticker you can put on your zit anytime, anywhere in...

February 21, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC I got a little lazy while making breakfast recently; instead of sautéing some sliced onions on the stove for my vegan omelet, I decided to cut down on dishes by popping them in the microwave. No harm in that, right? Wrong. The next thing I knew, it looked like fireworks in... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC Nike celebrated its 30th anniversary in fall of 2018 with the launch of Dream Crazy, an ad voiced by former NFL quarterback and current activist Colin Kaepernick featuring notable (and quotable) lines like, “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything,” and, “So don’t ask if your dreams are...

February 21, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC To strengthen my arms, I’ve tried boxing, lifting weights, doing a zillion push-ups, and knocking out weight machines like my life depends on it. But nothing has ever burned my arm muscles as much as punching with a resistance band. I was simply instructed to pick up a resistance... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 08:58AM by CWC Airports are already stressful enough. But when you spend all that time getting through security, grabbing your coffee and snacks, and waiting at your gate only to find out your flight has been cancelled, feeling defeated is an understatement. Unfortunately, you’re not alone: Plenty of travelers have been... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 08:21AM by CWC The concept of love languages isn’t quite new, but I sincerely wish my school offered a course in it. I just recently learned mine (quality time, specifically quality activities), and it’s revolutionized how I approach relationships—most surprisingly, my platonic ones. In his 1992 book The Five Love Languages,... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 08:19AM by CWC At this point, most of us are pretty canny about shady food additives in our food (ahem, high-fructose corn syrup, much?). But there are still some sneaky ingredients that we as consumers often are still in the dark about, like phosphates. Did you hear crickets when reading that... Continue Reading →

February 21, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Listen up, everyone: We need to stop thinking about acne as a puberty problem. As any full-fledged adult who’s had a pimple pop up out of nowhere knows all too well, it’s something that can follow you into your 20s, 30s, and beyond. In fact, acne at 40... Continue Reading →
