February 05, 2020 at 12:00PM by CWC Have you met anyone who claims their favorite food—or vegetable, for that matter—is a turnip? Chances aren’t great. After all, its historic backstory is that it was once a “get off the stage” tomato equivalent of Roman times, and Michelle Obama’s iconic Vine
February 04, 2020 at 06:30PM by CWC Every once in a while, you may get the itch to walk on the wild side of the kitchen and—gasp—prepare a complicated recipe from scratch. You chop all your veggies to one-eighth-inch (aka a French “brunoise”), knead your own pizza dough as sweat
February 04, 2020 at 05:00PM by CWC Everyone warned me before I first started using the iconic beauty product Biologique Recherche P50 ($67) that it had… a smell. As soon as I swiped the acid toner all over my face, the aroma hit my nose, and I had to remind
February 04, 2020 at 10:30AM by CWC Ever walked down a supplement aisle at a health food store and felt completely overwhelmed? Same, same. But it turns out you can give your health a boost without transforming your vitamin cabinet into an equally overwhelming replica of said health food store.
February 04, 2020 at 10:00AM by CWC When you hit a fitness plateau, the easy fix is trying a new class or lifting heavier weights in your next gym sesh. But when your motivation to meal prep starts to wilt like your third-day salads, it can be tough to find
February 04, 2020 at 02:00AM by CWC There is perhaps no one on Earth who has enjoyed more of a makeover than the cauliflower. Once a sad side dish, the humble cruciferous vegetable started from the bottom to become one of the defining foods of the past decade. Through the
February 04, 2020 at 12:00AM by CWC There’s a myth in beauty that your routine needs to be miles-long to work effectively. In truth, most dermatologists say that you only really only need four products to have a productive skin-care regimen: a cleanser, a serum, a moisturizer, and an SPF.
February 03, 2020 at 07:00PM by CWC Ever since the term “natural skin care” started trending, it’s largely been used as a catch-all for products made from plants. It’s also a term that’s subtly suggestive of superior health benefits: As the clean beauty industry narrative goes, botanically based skin care
February 03, 2020 at 04:45PM by CWC I don’t think I was the only one who ended last night’s Super Bowl halftime show with a dropped jaw. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira killed it with a performance that caused uproarious applause and a major spike in Google searches. They may not
February 03, 2020 at 02:00PM by CWC There are few foods out there with more of an enduring healthy reputation than smoothies. Experts love to recommend them for breakfasts, colorful recipes are splashed all over wellness influencers’ feeds, and they’re a mainstay of many wellness-minded restaurant menus. It makes sense
February 03, 2020 at 10:00AM by CWC You could say I’m familiar with snails if you count Gary from Spongebob and the time I ate a few on top of toast when I visited Paris (insert chef’s kiss). What I didn’t know until about a month ago is that snails
February 02, 2020 at 10:00PM by CWC With Imbolc (aka Candlemas), the halfway point between the last solstice and the upcoming equinox, happening on Sunday, February 2, the month kicks off with an invitation to settle into the opportunities this midseason moment presents. Simultaneously, on this cross-quarter day, we’re able
February 01, 2020 at 09:00PM by CWC What came first: cauli-mania or Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi? This is definitely a chicken-or-the-egg situation, but one thing’s for sure: the cruciferous veg owes a large part of its comeback-kid status to good old TJ’s. The grocery store’s 11th Annual Customer Choice Awards
February 01, 2020 at 02:00PM by CWC Having perpetually chapped lips is one of those annoying side effects of winter weather or dry heat that you often have to learn to grin and bear (after slathering on copious amounts of lip balm, that is). But if you let things go
January 31, 2020 at 03:12PM by CWC Sugar, especially the white, refined kind we all grew up with, has never exactly been considered a health food. It spikes your blood sugar, increases inflammation, and can spur further cravings that can impact a person’s healthy eating goals. And artificial substitutes like
January 31, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC “There’s an entire Instagram account dedicated to people who want to buy this perfume,” my sister-in-law Nicole tells me of Francis Kurkdjian’s best-selling Baccarat Rouge ($300) fragrance as we inhale the warm, smells-like-a-pretty-teacher aroma at the dinner table in Texas. For a scent I’ve caught
January 31, 2020 at 03:00AM by CWC It’s easy to think of salad as boring—something you only eat because you know you should. The truth is salads are really only dull if you make them dull, and if you’re not fully enjoying every bite of those beautiful greens, there’s a
January 30, 2020 at 06:45PM by CWC As a beauty editor, I hate to play favorites with my products. Usually, as soon as I fall head-over-heels in love with “the one,” something newer and better comes onto the market and swiftly replaces it in my routine. But two years ago,
January 30, 2020 at 03:00AM by CWC Grocery shopping tends to go one of two ways: you nail it and wind up with a cornucopia of ingredients… or you panic and arrive home having only purchased bread, frozen peas, and a box of Wheat Thins. Both scenarios have happened to
January 30, 2020 at 01:30AM by CWC Everyone is chasing a “glow” for their complexions, but when it’s this cold and dry outside, all bets are off. Thanks to zero-percent humidity in many winter climates, a dry-skin cell pileup happens on skin, leaving it looking a little dulled down. It
January 30, 2020 at 12:00AM by CWC Almond butter is creamy, loaded with protein, and is downright delicious. These are just facts. But sunflower butter is going more mainstream too, giving the OG pantry staple some friendly competition at the grocery store—particularly in the freezer section. Ben & Jerry’s just
January 28, 2020 at 06:25PM by CWC Your fridge is jam-packed with healthy flavor-boosting condiments, from your go-to nutty pesto to your beloved Sriracha. But if you’re not taking full advantage of all that space in your pantry too, you’re seriously missing out. There are plenty of condiments to store
January 28, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC You can find CBD in practically every product imaginable. Sometimes, it’s serving an actual purpose (like for showering or for muscle soreness), and sometimes it’s more of a marketing ploy (looking at you, CBD leggings). But experts agree that the CBD lip balm
January 28, 2020 at 10:30AM by CWC There’s a specific routine you go through when shopping for the perfect avocado: Check out the color to estimate its ripeness, pick it up to feel how firm it is, read the sticker to see whether it’s grown organically, and repeat until you
January 28, 2020 at 02:00AM by CWC It’s safe to say that for a long time, “healthy” food didn’t always make the mouth water. Watery, low-fat milk, rubbery tofu with no seasonings, and stomach-churning macrobiotic salads were long the staples of health-conscious households, none of which were about to win
January 28, 2020 at 01:00AM by CWC Watching the Super Bowl game at a party is fun, but let’s be real—the bigger draw tends to be all the incredible food. And while most spreads are made up of fried, super salty, and perhaps greasy offerings, it doesn’t have to be
January 26, 2020 at 08:00PM by CWC Opening the fridge to find pre-made food is a godsend for busy healthy eaters. Investing a few hours on a Sunday to grocery shop and meal prep a few lunches or dinners at home helps make eating well throughout the week (without having
January 26, 2020 at 06:00PM by CWC I’ve dealt with a lot of skin conditions, ranging from hormonal acne to hyperpigmentation, but for the first time in my life I’m dealing with a totally new issue: a sabotaged skin barrier. And it is brutal. The skin barrier acts as a
January 26, 2020 at 12:00PM by CWC Confession: I’ve been eating oatmeal for breakfast (almost) every single day for years. Overnight oats, in particular, are my fave because I can prep them at night, pop them in the fridge, and ta da! Breakfast is ready for me in the morning.
January 25, 2020 at 12:00PM by CWC When I was invited on a a 10-day tour of India, the thing I was most excited about was the food. In the weeks leading up to the trip, I dreamt of the curries and masalas I would sample, and made a lengthy
