The ultimate, editor-approved guide to running shoes
November 13, 2018 at 08:19AM Like delicate little snowflakes, everyone has different needs when it comes to their running shoes. Some people run barefoot and others need all the foam cushioning. But once you find the pair that’s right for you, it’s pretty much one of those match-made-in-heaven kind of moments. You know. And as for the rest of us? Well we’re still looking for the best running shoes around. “It’s always important to note that as runners, we’re all different,” says Jess Movold, a coach at New York’s Mile High Run Club, a running-focused boutique fitness studio. “That’s what makes everyone so special—runners come in all shapes and sizes, and so it’s important to take all of these things into consideration when looking for the right running shoe.” Perhaps you run on your toes, or have fallen arches, or deal with pronation in your gait—these and numerous other variables come into play when you’re reenacting Cinderella at your local Foot Locker. “Comfort, fit, and form are all very important, specific, and personalized things to keep in mind when looking for your shoe,” says Movold. So unlike other shoe shopping, this one ain’t just about how they look (I’ll leave that one for heels and such). Keep scrolling for the current best, editor-approved running shoes of each category, below.

November 13, 2018 at 08:12AM There are days when a meal-prepped salad just won’t cut it—especially near the end of the week when you’re running low on protein and that avocado you bought on Sunday is starting to go bad. If your first thought on those days is “Sweetgreen!”, you’re going to have to dig out a few more coins from the bottom of your purse because prices just went up. Now, none of their New York City salads cost less than $10. (That’s up an average of 56 cents.) It’s the first price increase in three years for the brand, and the reason behind it might make you feel a little better: The company is giving its 3,000-plus employees a raise and a better benefits package. “We believe it will make a meaningful impact on our growers and our team,” according to a statement on Sweetgreen’s website, adding that the company wants to become a place where employees can grow and have robust careers. In addition to a bump in pay, employees will now get paid parental leave, as well as some paid time off to volunteer, either working on a community project that is meaningful to them or on a farm—to connect even more to the meals they’re making every day. And hey, as Eater reports, you can still hack the menu and get a meal for under $10—you just have to forgo the protein. (Sigh.)

How to snag your Whole Foods salad without dropping $20 at the weigh-your-own bar
November 13, 2018 at 08:01AM Raise your hand if this scenario sounds familiar: You walk into Whole Foods to buy lunch, only to come face-to-face with the cornucopia of turmeric roasted chickpeas, goat cheese and pickled beet salad, saffron couscous, and other healthy delicacies available at the magical WF salad bar. You load up your box in a delirious daze. A few minutes later, you emerge from your fugue state and hear the cashier say: “That’ll be $18, please.” WTF. I’ve fallen for the enticing “serve yourself!” invitation so many times. But I’m happy to report that I’ve finally found a solution to my total lack of weighing willpower: The Whole Foods Chopped & Topped Salad station, which will whip you up a combo of greens and four toppings of your choice for $7 (plus $2 to add protein). And then, as the name suggests, they chop it to bite-sized perfection. The caveat here: The service can’t be found across the whole US yet (*sigh*), so you’ll need to see if it’s available at the Whole Foods near you (if you’re in the New York Tri-State Area, you’re likely in luck). But let’s rewind a moment, because I want to talk about the toppings. They’re not B.S. fillers like shredded carrots and croutons. Instead, expect all the things you already love about the salad bar: falafel, avocado, sweet potatoes, mixed mediterranean veggies… need I go on? It’s the good stuff, people, and it’s all laid over a plush bed of greens that
This flight attendant-approved hack is absolutely lifesaving for forgetful travelers
November 13, 2018 at 07:47AM There’s no official count on how many people end up forgetting their passports, laptops, and wallets in hotel safes every year, but chances are it’s pretty darn high. In the frenzy of packing up before your flight, it’s embarrassingly easy to forget about that tiny little safe in hotel closet…and the fact that you stashed your most valuable stuff in there for safe-keeping. Whoops. Luckily, there’s a simple travel hack that will prevent you from experiencing that full-on panic. If anyone knows how to avoid the biggest travel mishaps, it’s flight attendants. (It’s literally their job, after all.) And Ty Opoku Adjei, who works for British Airways, swears by a brilliantly simple technique that makes it nearly impossible to leave your passport behind. “When we go on holiday, it’s natural to want to keep your valuables in the hotel room safe, but some people make it all the way to the airport only to realize they’ve left their passport there,” she told Business Insider. “My top tip is to keep one of your shoes you plan to wear on your journey home in the safe. If you do this, you’ll never leave the hotel room without checking the safe ever again.” Pretty genius, huh? Unless you’re totally unfazed by walking around with only one shoe, there’s no way you’re going to head out without everything you need. If you’re one of those people who just doesn’t use the hotel safe at all…you should. While some
