February 06, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC One morning two weeks ago, a rare thing happened: I woke up motivated (and with enough time) to make my own breakfast before heading out the door. But something nightmarish happened while I was making my celery juice. As I broke off a few stalks to throw in… Continue Reading →

February 04, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC I always empathize with the girl at the gym who has to pause to yank up her leggings while sprinting on the treadmill. I’ve been there, and it stinks. Whether you’re running, lifting weights, or doing yoga, pants that slide down while you’re exercising are the definition of… Continue Reading →

January 22, 2019 at 10:24AM by CWC Science says what you wear can influence your behavior, a claim to which every person who’s ever, you know, gotten dressed for a date, an interview, or a hip-hop dance class, responds “duh.” Personally, I spend more time trying on slouchy-sexy-cool outfits before a dance class than I… Continue Reading →

January 14, 2019 at 11:42AM by CWC With a quick scroll through Instagram, you’ll find no shortage of perfectly-spread avocado toasts, plentiful puppies being generally adorable, and more than a few pastel-hued smoothie bowls. But at 33 million likes and counting, the new most-liked photo of all time will be tough to beat. Hard though it may… Continue Reading →

January 10, 2019 at 01:30PM by CWC I have mad respect for anyone who exercises outdoors in the winter. While I’m sweating it up to an online workout in the comfort of my climate-controlled apartment, others are training for marathons in the freezing cold. So, what’s the secret to being able to tough it out… Continue Reading →

January 07, 2019 at 06:39AM Every night before I go to bed, I lay out my workout clothes and pack up my gym bag. This is in part because there is arguably nothing more stressful than searching for a sports bra in your closet at 5:49 a.m. when you have to be at the gym… Continue Reading →

December 24, 2018 at 06:30AM As soon as the temperature drops below 50, there’s nothing better than swaddling up in cozy knits on the couch. Unfortunately, life usually gets in the way of said uninterrupted lounging time. Luckily, activewear is—once again—here to save the day in the form of knit leggings. A hybrid between sweatpants… Continue Reading →

December 21, 2018 at 03:30AM Deviled eggs are strangely polarizing: Some people can’t get enough of them, while others steer clear in search of something that doesn’t contain a cup and a half of mayonnaise. But a tiny tweak to the simple, occasion-versatile recipe can bridge that divide at any potluck. Deviled eggs, meet your new pal:… Continue Reading →

December 20, 2018 at 10:02AM If you always return from your Sunday grocery store outing with the the same three vegetables in tow, er, tote, I get it: You have your meal-prepping game down to a science. (And I too want to find a way to eat cauliflower at every single meal.) But here’s a case… Continue Reading →

December 18, 2018 at 07:49AM If cleaning out your underwear drawer is at the top of your resolutions list for 2019—you know, somewhere between finding glasses that actually fit your face and being better about washing your bras properly, here’s something you should know: It’s easier to accomplish than it sounds (overhaul, ugh). More so,… Continue Reading →

December 12, 2018 at 01:35PM Ah, the holidays: Lifetime is playing holiday movies 24/7 and the air smells faintly of gingerbread-scented candles everywhere you go. (Or maybe that’s just someone’s gingerbread-scented lotion?) And for a lot of people, a big part of the season involves sipping eggnog and stealing bites of cookie dough while making… Continue Reading →

December 05, 2018 at 08:36AM When I was growing up, my dad—who is quite the chef—repeated one mantra about a well-stocked kitchen: Any single-use appliance is a complete-garbage-waste-of-space. What’s really valuable, he believed (and still does) are Swiss army-type inventions like pots, pans, and knives that can tackle dozens upon dozens of tasks. So what did… Continue Reading →

November 30, 2018 at 01:54PM Ah, winter: ‘Tis the season for thick turtlenecks, Hallmark holiday movie marathons, and most importantly, warm and hearty meals. Sorry, smoothies, but when it’s 20 degrees outside, I don’t want you for breakfast. I want oatmeal. However, despite its impressive nutritional profile (protein! fiber! whole grains!), oatmeal has a rep… Continue Reading →

November 29, 2018 at 07:58AM When Ellie Bullen—the plant-powered blogger behind Elsa’s Wholesome Life—posted a picture of her fried egg-topped toast on Instagram, her followers had a mini freak-out, thinking it was real. And you can’t blame ’em: Without reading the caption, looks alone could fool just about anyone. There were no chickens needed to create this… Continue Reading →

November 23, 2018 at 01:22PM I have a seven-step facial skin care routine, but most days I can’t be bothered to have more than a “meh” attitude toward body care. Until recently, when the temperatures began to drop in Los Angeles, causing extremely dry skin on my knees, elbows, and lips. (It was a brisk… Continue Reading →

November 21, 2018 at 06:26AM Whether you’re making your famous deviled eggs for a holiday party or meal-prepping some afternoon snacks for work (which seriously, props for being so on top of it), the matter is the same: peeling hard-boiled eggs can be tricky, not to mention time-consuming. Since the shell almost always needs to… Continue Reading →

November 20, 2018 at 11:10AM If there was a compatibility chart for clothing the way there is for zodiac signs, leggings and long sweaters would be a perfect match. They balance one another in a way that makes them an ideal off-duty look. But why only wear the cozy combo for low-key occasions? After some… Continue Reading →

November 14, 2018 at 01:00AM When ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, first started to gain traction a few years back, I’ll admit I was skeptical. ASMR describes the feeling you get when certain sounds produce a relaxation effect—some folks even explain it as a tingling sensation, or a brain orgasm. I was more likely to… Continue Reading →
