In his 1992 book The Five Love Languages,… Continue Reading →

February 20, 2019 at 11:13AM by CWC Nothing makes your realize how central alcohol is to the life of a social twenty-something college student quite like being a social twenty-something college student (hint: it me). In my case though, the hangovers joked about in group texts eventually stopped being funny, and the previous nights’ antics… Continue Reading →

February 20, 2019 at 07:43AM by CWC Going through a breakup can feel like you’re treading water in the deep end—or, let’s be real, in a riptide.

February 19, 2019 at 09:22AM by CWC What has four letters, helps deliver oxygen to your body, and is a main component of Popeye’s favorite food? If you guessed iron, you’re 100 percent right. Iron perhaps hasn’t been given as much press time as other, trendier nutrients like collagen and turmeric. Along with calcium and… Continue Reading →

February 19, 2019 at 07:45AM by CWC In an ideal world, matters of the heart (and mending a broken one) would be black and white: Navigating a nasty breakup with the partner of your dreams would lead directly to a Zen period of healing, self love, and lots of yoga. Shortly thereafter, love would reenter… Continue Reading →

February 19, 2019 at 03:30AM by CWC Celebrity nutritionist and Solluna founder Kimberly Snyder is a New York Times best-selling author—multiple times over.

Her mother was diagnosed with cancer before… Continue Reading →

February 14, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC I have a confession to make: This is the first Valentine’s Day in a decade that I’m totally, completely, no-prospects-in-sight single. Last summer, I finally put the nail in the coffin of a decade-long on-and-off relationship and called it quits for good. While spending V-day single doesn’t quite… Continue Reading →

February 08, 2019 at 05:14AM by CWC There are so many ways to show love—from public declarations like going “Instagram official” to subtly sweet gestures like a home-cooked meal and perfectly folded piles of laundry.

February 02, 2019 at 10:45AM by CWC I never get angry when I receive socks for Christmas, just curious about which ones will make it to the new year. I mean, I’ll wear some holly-covered footwear through October, but we all know that socks are the first thing to get lost in the wash. But… Continue Reading →

February 01, 2019 at 05:16AM by CWC You count your lucky stars for your squad daily (shout out to the gal pals who will point out you have lipstick on your teeth, every time), but there aren’t many official opportunities (outside of birthdays) to shower them with all the gratitude they deserve. That’s why we… Continue Reading →

January 30, 2019 at 07:15AM by CWC Let’s say you’re the only single person in your friend group. Or your BFF has a seemingly perfect relationship. Or you feel like everyone in your life has a romantic situation that is, simply put, just way better than yours. Well, it’s normal to feel salty about this… Continue Reading →

January 13, 2019 at 01:03PM by CWC While you may find the ubiquity of blue bins on your street comforting, in reality, only nine percent of plastic in circulation is recycled (a number so shocking and under-reported that it was named “stat of the year” by Great Britain’s Royal Statistical Society this past December). This… Continue Reading →

January 09, 2019 at 08:05AM by CWC Every Myers-Briggs personality type has strengths and weaknesses—but you probably already know your strengths. They’re the skills and areas that you lean into most often and with ease. But what about your Achilles’ heel—do you know yours? If not, no worries—it’s tougher to be aware of your weaknesses… Continue Reading →

January 08, 2019 at 02:24PM If you are like the millions of Americans who have a chronic illness (a disease like fibromyalgia, diabetes, or MS that often has no cure and requires ongoing treatment), you’re probably well-familiar with the medical side of your illness. You’re frequently in pain, spending lots of time at the doctor’s… Continue Reading →

January 08, 2019 at 05:30AM Travel can allow for growing, learning, and understanding ourselves and the world we inhabit. During my months-long stay in Mexico—where I’ve met so many people from different cultures, who think differently than I do—I’ve felt the reality of this introspective, mind-opening treat firsthand. But trips don’t last forever; eventually jet-setters… Continue Reading →
