August 25, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC To all the Scorpios I’ve loved before (and also just regular platonic friends who were born between October 21 and November 23), plain and simple, I would follow you to hell and back. Something about being born amid the crisp air of
August 24, 2019 at 08:00PM by CWC Navigating the world of wellness has always been tricky, but it’s especially true in the digital age. With so much information at your fingertips—from Instagram posts to Dr. Google—it’s hard to separate the trustworthy intel from the scams. But there is a
August 23, 2019 at 08:51PM by CWC No shade to Western medicine, but the Chinese variety is by far my fave. My acupuncturist saved my life (hyperbole alert!) during an excessively painful egg freezing cycle, and I now rely on her for everything from herbal medicine to relationship advice (only
August 23, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC As a social human being in her mid-thirties, I’d venture to say that I’m not alone in my current state of drowning in invitations to weddings, baby showers, housewarming parties, and general “just-because!” girls’ weekends. In fact, I know I’m not alone; I’ve
August 23, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC One of the final frontiers for body positivity in the fitness world: women having muscles. Society has a particular image of what it means to be feminine, and being shredded is often not included in that limited view—to the detriment of athletes across

But that leaves out a whole genre of breakup-related pain. Anyone who’s ever
August 21, 2019 at 09:46PM by CWC I recently learned that breast cancer is a rare beast among cancers in that the relationship between behaviors and risk are not as clear as they are with other cancers (e.g. lung cancer and tobacco use). “There’s only about one in five breast
August 21, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC When I put out a call on Instagram asking women to participate in a story about how hair impacts identity, I received more than 100 messages. The responses were overwhelmingly varied, leading me to understand that while the shampoo that works for all
August 20, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Pretty much everything psychotherapist Esther Perel says about sex, relationships, and friendships reads like gospel to me. So, when she recently shared tips for better sex with The Syndey Morning Post, I took a moment to let her comments wash over me—especially this one:
August 19, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Eating almond butter right out of the jar without fearing judgement, never having to compromise on what to watch on Hulu, sleeping diagonally taking up the entire bed…there’s a lot to love about living alone. But it’s not uncommon to feel lonely from
August 19, 2019 at 12:02PM by CWC When I was a kid, non-alcoholic drinks usually meant ordering “virgin” pina coladas and blended Oreo cookie drinks poolside on family vacations in Hawaii. Delicious, yes, but not exactly the healthiest choice to be drinking every single day for a week. So imagine
August 18, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC You’d think a quest as straightforward as nourishing your body would be simple, but the deeper you go into the healthy food space, the more confusing it can be. Between a whole slew of different eating plans, alternative meats created in labs, natural
August 18, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC It finally happened. I logged into “my” Hulu account, (it’s technically my ex’s account, but I had a profile of my own on it), only to find that the name on my profile had been changed to “Lee2.” My issues with the finding

August 17, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC Nearly 10 million people visit Hawaiʻi each year, and despite the enduring cliché of the sunburned tourist, the majority of travelers wear sunscreen at some point. But as people have been protecting their skin, they’ve inadvertently been damaging one of the islands’ most
August 17, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC My very favorite cocktail bar is nearly a dead ringer for for Miss Havisham’s dilapidated mansion in the 1998 remake of Great Expectations. The main difference between the two venues? Candlelight. That’s presumably because when it comes to setting the mood, candlelight is
August 17, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC No matter what your exercise of choice is—whether you’re Pilates-forward or prefer to sweat it out in the boxing ring—cardio is an important part of every routine. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find any coach or trainer who wouldn’t tell you
August 16, 2019 at 09:14AM by CWC When it comes to the healthiest way to nourish your body, there’s a lot of information out there. Between figuring out which eating plan to follow, what the deal is with sugar in fruit, or if buzzy trends like celery juice are worth
August 16, 2019 at 06:58AM by CWC I have a large group of female friends, and we all know one another quite well, both individually and in the scope of our group dynamic. Perhaps as a result of shows like Sex and the City, The Bold Type, and countless others
August 15, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC When I first started writing about food several years ago, I didn’t think twice about referring to mac and cheese as an “indulgence” or using the term “clean eating.” I tried to steer clear of talk about calorie counting, weight, or fad diets
August 15, 2019 at 08:32AM by CWC Anyone’s who’s ever lived a day or had any desire ever—whether it’s related to a relationship, a job, or even a meal—is familiar with the concept of having expectations. After all, it would be tough to work toward something you want without having
August 15, 2019 at 06:30AM by CWC Although zillions of people are spinning class fanatics, there are two very common complaints I hear from those who attend workouts: 1) “Ouch, my butt is definitely going to be covered in bruises,” and 2) “My hips are tight AF.” While the former issue
August 15, 2019 at 04:02AM by CWC My boyfriend is hanging upside down when I realize—holy crap—I’m head over heels in love with him. We’re at a rock climbing gym in Queens, and I’m gawking up at his six-foot frame alongside a group of his closest friends as he scales
August 14, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Experiencing the heaviness and stress that comes with feeling overwhelmed can be paralyzing, regardless of the cause. It’s looking down at your to-do list and having absolutely no idea where to start. It’s thinking of everything your partner, kids, and seemingly everyone else
August 14, 2019 at 10:25AM by CWC Harry and Sally. Ross and Rachel. Dawson and Joey. Sam and Diane. Cher and Josh. Monica and Chandler. Robin and Barney. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera. Few love stories appeal to me so much as do those centered around best friends-turned-lovers. In my cynical mind,
August 14, 2019 at 10:23AM by CWC After having survived what felt like the longest Mercury retrograde ever (not to mention the aftershocks of its lingering Mercury retroshade, we’re all due for some good vibes. And tomorrow, August 15, with the full sturgeon moon in Aquarius, that’s exactly what we
August 14, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC Stale, negative energy. That’s the best way I can describe the situation of having made up with your partner after a fight, and the bad feelings continue to linger. Relationship arguments are extra confusing to settle when your head and heart don’t forgive
August 13, 2019 at 05:00PM by CWC My little brother and I recently engaged in a heated conversation about who’s the favorite child between us and our two other siblings. We’re all grown adults, yet this debate has been ongoing for as long as I can remember. My mom, for
August 12, 2019 at 07:46AM by CWC Consider the word “love” and the many contexts for which we use it: You can love your mom for always protecting you and being on your side. You can love your best friend for laughing with you and being the first to answer
August 12, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC Having friends at work is good; cliques at work are bad. But when you’re only inviting a select few of your coworkers to grab a drink after you clock out, it can feel impossible to avoid a Mean Girls situation. In this week’s
