March 01, 2020 at 04:00PM by CWC You spend a lot of time at your desk. Like it or not, it’s basically your home away from home. It’s where you eat your healthy meal-prepped lunches there, get in some soothing full-body stretches, and occasionally get a workout in. It’s probably

February 29, 2020 at 01:00AM by CWC I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t love cheese puffs. There’s something irresistible about the snack, despite it just being puffed corn covered in a processed cheese powder. The satisfaction of the crunch, the yellow residue the powder leaves on your
February 29, 2020 at 12:00AM by CWC One of life’s great frustrations is completing 30 seconds of derm-mandated face washing, only to realize that your mascara, foundation, and blush have smeared into a Monet painting on your face. When your skin doesn’t get as clean as you wanted it to,
February 28, 2020 at 11:00PM by CWC You don’t have to be dietitian to know the importance of getting enough protein. Skimp on the nutrient and you’re way more likely to feel fatigued, moody, and hungry—not a great combination. Some people supplement their diets with protein powder mixed into a

February 28, 2020 at 10:00AM by CWC If you have digestive challenges (and over 60 million people do), calming your gut can feel like a never-ending process of trial and error, but that could be because you’re looking at the wrong symptoms. For example, when you’re dealing with constant brain fog
February 27, 2020 at 11:30PM by CWC If you haven’t picked up a jump rope since elementary school, you’re seriously missing out. Jumping rope is a fun yet intense way to get your heart rate up and work every muscle. The best part is that all you need is your body

February 27, 2020 at 08:00PM by CWC I have some pretty embarrassing stories in the kitchen, like the time my situationship was coming over and I needed to clean my apartment quickly, so I shoved a bunch of things in my oven, forgot about them for a couple days, and
February 27, 2020 at 04:00PM by CWC Odds are good that everyone has swatched at least one foundation in their life. It’s the easiest route to tell if a foundation will agree with your skin and whether or not a shade is the right match for you or not. And
February 27, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC A few years back, a close friend gifted me Yumi Sakugawa’s There Is No Right Way to Meditate: a doodle-filled love letter to meditation that’s basically a mindfulness picture book. As much as I love what’s inside its pages, the book’s title itself
February 27, 2020 at 01:00PM by CWC Even when I have super-satisfying sex with a partner I trust, I often feel a sense of sadness afterward—but I’m never sure why it is that I feel that way. It turns out, though, I’m not alone in this experience, as licensed psychologist
February 27, 2020 at 12:00AM by CWC Any time you walk into a megaformer-inspired pilates class, you know you’re in for a challenging workout. And while all the moves on the machine are enough to leave your body shaking, there’s one muscle group in particular that’s a special kind of

February 26, 2020 at 08:30PM by CWC My boyfriend doesn’t orgasm. He does this—or rather, doesn’t do it—by choice. At first, this was uncomfortable for me, as I thought it meant he wasn’t enjoying himself; however, he says it allows him to extend the other phases of the sexual experience,
