July 18, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC As a sex writer, asking professionals (sexologists, sex and relationship therapists, doctors, educators, you name it) questions that many would regard as totally TMI is part of my average day. What do I do when I have a burning question about sex (like whether analingus is safe and... Continue Reading →

July 18, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Meal planning is hard enough—researching recipes, planning what to make, shopping for ingredients, and cooking the damn food are all time consuming on their own. But for people on the keto diet, the menu choices get even more limited. That’s because the low-carb, high-fat eating plan has very... Continue Reading →

July 18, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC Way before leggings became a force of fitness fashion, there were what my college friends and I called “yoga pants”—you know, those stretch cotton bottoms with a wide fold-over waist and bootcut legs. (Yes, I’m one of those old millennials.) We’d put them on for class with a... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Each month with On the Cusp, we point our astrological magnifying glass on all the people born between two zodiac signs. Because when your birthday falls at either the tail end or very beginning of your sun sign’s season, your personality may be influenced by your cosmic neighbor.... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 11:31AM by CWC Okay, so, I love hot dogs. They’re legit my favorite summer food. If you invite me to a backyard party in this ungodly heat and there are no hot dogs, I’m leaving. They’re irrefutably the best part of going to a baseball game, and they’re the only reason... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 11:06AM by CWC As an adolescent, I had a recurring nightmare that the green villain from Scooby Doo known as The Creeper was chasing me through a roller skating rink. I’ve since outgrown this terrifying (and, yes, comical) edition of “What is my mind?” But now that New York City—and much of... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 11:00AM by CWC Sorry, mushroom coffee, but this salad dressing makes eating medicinal mushrooms way tastier. Watch the video. When we think mushrooms, we think of the delicious ones that we love on pizzas and in stir fries…and the psychedelic ones that just got decriminalized in Denver. But fun fact: There...

July 17, 2019 at 10:47AM by CWC I never really felt cool when I was growing up until I discovered Urban Outfitters. Once I waltzed through the store’s collection of boho-slash-vintage-looking clothes (like the vintage renewal baseball jersey that I still have) and cute AF jewelry, I finally felt like I could dress up the...

July 17, 2019 at 10:37AM by CWC Once in a while, I bring my own salad dressing and vegan cheese slices to restaurants—a girl’s gotta go what a girl’s gotta do. And I’m not alone. Chef and wellness expert Sophia Roe doesn’t run the risk of not having the right condiment on hand either—especially when... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 08:52AM by CWC As far as incognito exercises go, nothing flies under the radar quite like Kegels. At any given moment, someone in direct proximity of you might be flexing their pelvic floor muscles and you wouldn’t even know. it. If you ask any OB/GYN, they’ll tell you the benefits of...

July 17, 2019 at 08:39AM by CWC A surefire ways to enter panic-mode is realizing your dust-covered passport is expired—and you’re leaving for Paris, like, tomorrow. In the past, you had two choices: Taking your chances with a sketchy online expedited passport service, or praying to the passport gods that some miracle would save you... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 08:13AM by CWC For as long as I can remember, seeking alternative outlets for health-care information has been a part of my sexual-wellness routine. As a queer, cisgender, white, able-bodied woman, the reason is two-fold: First, the in-school sex education I received is best explained with the face-palm emoji. And second,... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 08:10AM by CWC Fire up your core and shoulders with mountain climbers—watch how to do them correctly, here.  Mountain climbers are one of those workout moves—much like burpees and jumping lunges—that I could actually write full-fledged hate mail to. Seriously. I can never seem to do them for 30 seconds straight... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 08:01AM by CWC When I studied abroad in Copenhagen during my junior year of college, there was a lot to get used to: There were approximately four hours of daylight, sandwiches only had one piece of bread, and everyone looked like straight-up supermodels. Seriously: In the six months I spent living... Continue Reading →

July 17, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC The siren call of the Whole Foods hot bar can be strong. (Specifically, the smell of the jalapeno mac-and-cheese.) Maybe it lures you in on days when you want to treat yourself to a lunch you didn’t have to meal prep. Or maybe it calls to you on... Continue Reading →
