January 05, 2019 at 01:11PM Once upon a time, fleece jackets were sold strictly at outdoor retailers for hikers, campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Luckily for us, however, as gorpcore (i.e. dressing like a badass woman about to hit the trails) goes mainstream, oversized fleece jackets have made their way onto the backs of millennials, bloggers, and Instagrammers in what might be the coziest trend ever (or at least this season). These jackets are essentially the chic way to wear a blanket in public. Also known as teddy, fuzzy, and faux shearling, these jackets are essentially the chic way to wear a blanket in public. Pair it with leggings, jeans, or even a skirt—the beauty of the 2019 version of fleece is that there are so many ways to style it, from super-casual to structured and work-appropriate, you really can’t go wrong. Whatever you do, just try not to fall asleep while rocking this cozy look (no promises on our end). Scroll down for 8 fleece jackets we can’t wait to wrap up in.

What the heck should you be using on your lips this winter? We’ve got your foolproof guide
January 05, 2019 at 05:22AM I have officially taken to referring to winter as chapped lips season, because my dry, painful lips seem to supersede any thoughts of joy I could possibly have during the cold months. But the good news? There are a seemingly endless number of products on the market that specifically help you deal with chapped lips. On the other hand… with that many options out there—from balms to masks to oils—it can be hard to figure out exactly which one you’re supposed to be swiping on. So, we tapped Dr. Lily Talakoub of McLean Dermatology and Skincare Center to help us navigate the vast world of lip hydration. First up: Understanding the differences between balms, oils, and masks—AKA the three main product categories that derms recommend for dealing with a chapped pout. “They all generally treat dry, dehydrated lips,” she explains. “A lip balm contains waxes that prevent moisture from evaporating from the top layer of the lip; an oil simply hydrates the lip but doesn’t prevent the loss of moisture; and a lip mask usually just replenishes the lip with hydration, but doesn’t seal in any moisture.” A-ha. Here, Dr. Talakoub breaks down when exactly to reach for each: Lip balm: While a lip balm may be the most common go-to when your pout is feeling flaky (I currently have 17 of them on my desk), Dr. Talakoub notes that they can be tricky if you’re super dry. “The waxes in the balms help moisturize, but when it wears
These (foodie-approved) Mediterranean diet cookbooks make healthy eating feel like an indulgence
January 05, 2019 at 05:13AM One of the best things about the Mediterranean diet is that it’s based on an established culinary tradition in the Middle East, Greece, Italy, and Spain—some of the best and oldest food cultures in the world. Yes, it is the most popular healthy-eating approach right now, shown to improve digestion, gut health, and heart health—and studies show it can even help you live longer. But the deep roots of Mediterranean cooking also make it a favorite of foodies who couldn’t care less about slow carbs or ketones. Translation: When you want to feel like a kitchen goddess, creating beautiful plates of food and serving them up on your rustic Tuscan dining table (dare to dream, in a tiny New York City apartment), Mediterranean is the nutrient-dense way to go. The deep roots of Mediterranean cooking also make it a favorite of foodies who couldn’t care less about slow carbs or ketones. While the huge communal dining table may be all in your head, the chef-approved dishes are absolutely doable, thanks to the huge selection of Mediterranean cookbooks at pretty much any bookstore. Here’s a curated list of favorites, from chefs who will help you make everything from a weeknight meal to Sunday dinner with the family extra-special (and healthy!).
