The best underwear for when Aunt Flo is seriously cramping your style

February 24, 2019 at 09:01AM by CWC There has truly never been a better time to be a menstruating woman. We have a seemingly endless buffet of options as to how we want to deal with our periods, with the usual pads and tampons now just two of the menu options. Not your thing, for the sake of comfort, sustainability, or plain old personal preference? No problem! Pop on a pair of underwear for periods. No, I’m not talking about the old lacy thongs that have been reserved for your flow days after being stained by periods past. I’m talking about actual underwear for periods—or as I like to call them, “period panties”—that help you manage your flow. In addition to relieving you of the fear that back of your white pants are going to be stained in crimson splotches every time you stand up,  underwear for periods have a whole bunch of other benefits. A few worth mentioning: Because you can wash and reuse them, underwear for periods more sustainable than traditional disposable period products. And though they may cost more than a box of tampons (for example, a pair of Thinx costs $34 compared to the $5-ish dollars a box of tampons will run you), they’ll ultimately last you for longer since you can wash them and wear them again and again and again. And, of course, there’s no risk of getting a pair of underwear for periods stuck inside of you, which is a definite bonus. The good

CBD lipgloss exists, and TBH my lips have never been softer

3 min read

February 24, 2019 at 07:01AM by CWC To say that I have tried CBD in literally every iteration available would be the understatement of 2019. I’ve added it to my morning routine with Daily Habit CBD Powder, my skin-care routine with like, 15 different products, and my bedtime routine with the Highline Wellness gummies that live on my nightstand. So when a set of CBD-infused lip glosses made their way across my desk, I had a tingling feeling that my makeup routine was the next frontier to get the official cannabidiol treatment. The lip glosses, from Saint Jane Beauty, are made with eight calming ingredients, including sunflower, jojoba, chamomile, grapefruit, and superstar CBD. They come in five shades ranging from bright pink to deep berry, all of which go on super-sheer with a hint of shimmer. “The idea is to microdose wellness moments throughout your day with small amounts of CBD,” says Saint Jane Beauty founder Casey Georgeson.  “Many people carry their stress in their lips—imagine trying to smile while nervous—and Saint Jane is a glossy, silky, CBD-spiked way to incorporate wellness into your lip ritual.” As far as smiling through anxiety goes, well, #itme. So naturally, I decided to give these babies a try, and it was love at first swipe (AKA the opposite of how I currently feel about dating apps). Considering I grew up slathering my lips with Lancome Juicy Tubes ($19), I live for a glossy lip, and the Saint Jane glosses didn’t disappoint. They were the perfect combination of shimmer and

Spotted at Trader Joe’s: A gluten-free broccoli and kale pizza crust to add to your rotation, stat

February 24, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC When Trader Joe’s released its mess-free cauliflower crust, it was an instant hit. Because let’s be honest: As nice as it would be to make a flawless homemade version, the end result is usually something that falls apart in your hands while you’re eating it (and leaves you with a super messy kitchen). But the grocer’s latest release is giving the fan favorite some stiff competition. During one Well+Good team member’s most recent trip to TJs, her eagle eye spotted something beautiful in the frozen foods section: a brand-new—and bright green!—Broccoli & Kale pizza crust for under $5. The product (made with broccoli, black kale, corn flour, olive oil, and salt) is gluten-free, egg-free, and only 70 calories a slice. Photo: Celine Cortes We haven’t taste-tested our find just yet, but since broccoli tends to have a stronger flavor than cauliflower, I can imagine this greens-loaded crust being delicious with even the most basic of toppings. And with a shake of some umami mushroom seasoning? *Chef’s kiss* These are the best skin-care products you can find at Trader Joe’s. Or, try to get your hands on the new vegan ranch dressing.
