May 06, 2019 at 12:56PM by CWC I’m practically religious about doing a butt workout at home on the mat in my living room. Almost daily, I strap on a pair of ankle weights and follow along as a trainer streams instructions through my television. One of my most recent workouts left me feeling the… Continue Reading →

April 26, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC It’s stupid, but it happens: Your current main squeeze is jealous of an ex haunting your old Instagrams, and you refuse to go on a deleting spree. It’s a tale as old as, like, 2005, when you first put your fling in the number-one slot of your Myspace… Continue Reading →

April 19, 2019 at 07:50AM by CWC Social media is like trying to get as many people as possible to sign your yearbook. Human nature dictates that we should care what people think of our social media presence. But it’s a little game that no one really wants to play. The simple act of sharing… Continue Reading →

April 16, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Last week our collective gag reflexes were put to the test when in an unprovoked public social media display of affection, Justin Bieber shared a love poem he wrote for his wife, Hailey. And, uh, let’s just say that Biebs almost certainly has no future as a poet… Continue Reading →

November 20, 2018 at 01:12PM If you’re a big fan of a classic wedge or Caesar salad, then consider yourself warned: In a *breaking announcement* made earlier today, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) strongly urged anyone who is currently harboring a head of romaine in their crisper drawer to toss it, stat. It’s the second E.coli-romaine contamination… Continue Reading →

October 01, 2018 at 07:35AM In today’s world, it seems like being lonely shouldn’t even be a thing. When you’re not meeting up with your girls at Pilates or Face-Timing with your college BFF, you’re probably catching up on your friends’ latest endeavors on Instagram. But it turns out that even with so many different ways… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 12:58PM by CWC If you have a phone and an Instagram account, chances are you’ve come across ads or videos or pictures of people (or even Kim K. herself) slathering on Kim Kardashian‘s brand spankin’ new Skin Perfecting Body Foundation ($45). Or perhaps you’ve scanned headlines talking about the product’s backlash,… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 12:07PM by CWC When we talk about the concept of “health,” we sometimes forget that our brains are part of the holistic wellness equation. Ancient modalities like yoga and meditation call upon the power of the organ between our ears to change our perspectives, and by extension, our lives. And functional… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC What’s purple, sweet, and brightening up healthy food offerings on trendy menus and Instagrams? No, not purple ketchup (RIP), it’s the humble ube. The ube (pronounced ooh-bae) is a purple yam and a close relative of the sweet potato. It’s long been a staple of Filipino cooking as… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC Have you ever wondered why some people can squat lower, jump higher, or simply bend more easily than you? Well, my friends, there’s a pretty good chance that’s because their hips are strong AF. And by strong, I don’t just mean muscular and toned, but rather stretched to… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC Hold onto your hats, I’m coming in hot with a public service announcement: My queerness doesn’t take a snooze July through May. Despite what Pride marketing might have you believe, I’m queer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year; queer folks exist (and… Continue Reading →

June 26, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC You learned all about geometry, chemistry, classic literature and the like in school—but absolutely nothing about creating and caring for a new human, an objectively important matter. And while you’d love to rely on pros who have already graduated from the subject parenting for intel, your own parents… Continue Reading →

June 25, 2019 at 05:00PM by CWC Mangoes have completely stolen my heart. They’re the perfect combination of sweet and juicy, and taste as good plain as mixed into a smoothies or sorbets. Basically, they’re a shining star of the produce aisle. I’ve been totally satisfied with the one type of mango my grocery store… Continue Reading →
