February 15, 2019 at 08:51AM by CWC Well, someone had an epic Valentine’s Day yesterday and her name is Katy Perry. The singer just announced her engagement to Orlando Bloom on Instagram.

The warmer weather provides the ideal excuse to remix the contents of your beauty cabinet. Since you’re already sporting SPF all year round (right?), we… Continue Reading →

April 16, 2019 at 12:59PM by CWC In this world, there are two types of showerers. There are the get-in-there-and-get-it done types who hop in the tub with the mere purpose of cleaning their bodies.

April 15, 2019 at 08:35AM by CWC Now that your entire home has been given the Marie Kondo treatment, all that bare space has likely made you realize that the place could use a major wipe down.

April 13, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Anyone who wants to get in the best possible workout in the shortest period of time is probably a fan of high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
