Chalk it up to frigid temps, short days, and plenty of quality content to get through in the Netflix and Hulu-verse, but the couch ever-so-sweetly calls your name in these months.

Why is it such a turnoff when someone truly, really, actually wants to date me?
February 01, 2019 at 01:11PM by CWC One of my father’s favorite refrains about my love life is that I only like men who don’t like me. He’s constantly joking that the easiest way for a man to turn me off is for him to show interest. Based on history, I do see where he’s coming from, but I’m still not totally convinced. Still, he does point out a polarizing, age-old issue: Is it true that the more someone is into us, the less into them we are? And if so, is a silly game of hard to get actually effective? Apparently, the basis of playing it cool in dating—in which there’s an unspoken contest of sorts where whoever cares less wins—has a lot to do with human nature in general. “Part of it is about a primal desire that we have as humans for things that are valuable,” says therapist Daniel Olavarria, LCSW. “When someone plays it cool, the subtle message is that they are difficult to attain. If we’re relying on our most basic primal instincts, this will make them feel even more desirable.” Furthermore, since it’s so easy to assume a potential love interest’s attitude applies to their entire disposition and life, being aggressively open and vulnerable off the bat isn’t the best look. “When someone seems too available, it can give the impression that they don’t have much going on in their own life to contribute to the relationship,” Olvarria says. Plus, one person feeling like

11 bedtime rituals of the healthiest people on Earth
February 01, 2019 at 11:35AM by CWC People who reside in longevity hotspots, like Costa Rica, Greece, and Japan, have consistently proven that whatever they’re doing works big-time. And the cultural secrets of those living in these so-called Blue Zones are secrets no more. Staying naturally active, living life with purpose, or simply drinking a glass of red wine every day—what’s not to like? Not all day-to-day activities are created equal, but according to Blue Zoners, an evening routine with healthy sleep habits is high on the list. Blue Zone’s website says sleep is incredibly important for your overall health and well-being. To get 7 to 8 hours of quality rest every night like your BZ heroes, you can survey your pre-bedtime ritual for the following criteria. The 11 healthy sleep habits for Blue Zone-approved slumber 1. You know your “snore score.” 2. You have to have a cozy mattress and pillows. 3. Your room is cooled to the proper temperature (65°F!). 4. You dim the lights an hour before bed. 5. No light disrupts your sleep (looking at you, digital alarm clocks) 6. You own light-blocking window shades or an eye mask 7. No electronics. That means your computer, TV, and cellphone should all be out of the room. 8. Your phone counts! Your phone’s not allowed! 9. You have a lavender plant or lavender essential oil next to your bed. 10. Your windows are double-paned or you’ve made other efforts to block noise from interrupting your REM. 11. You only use the bedroom for
I tried CBD oil on my legs after my workouts, and I have some thoughts…
February 01, 2019 at 11:27AM by CWC As someone who works out 5 days a week—with each workout containing at least a two mile run—you could say that I’m always sore. That means that my legs frequently feel as heavy as cement, my hamstrings are continually tight, my quads are always quaking, and my calves know what it means to be knotted. Maybe I’m being a smidge dramatic (and maybe I need to foam roll more), but all of that running takes a serious toll on my legs. In my beauty research, however, I’ve realized that cannabidiol or CBD is an anti-inflammatory powerhouse, and since inflammation is the cause behind many woes—including muscle soreness—the wheels in my head started turning. Perhaps, by slathering a CBD-rich product all over my gams, I could enhance my recovery and optimize my workouts even more. The non-psychoactive part of the marijuana plant, CBD, has been all the rage for its multifaceted topical benefits. I’ve already tried CBD skin-care products, so I’m beyond ready to use it to enhance my workouts. “CBD is an active cannabinoid found in cannabis and has multiple uses in improving inflammatory conditions when used topically, like eczema, and even improving wound healing, itching, pain, and has even reported to improve a rare blistering disorder of skin,” says Rachel Nazarian, MD, a dermatologist with New York’s Schweiger Dermatology Group. “It would be great for sore muscles, because it has an analgesic effect which decreases pain.” Bingo. Luckily for me, as soon as this
Every denim trend coming for your favorite skinny jeans in 2019
February 01, 2019 at 11:17AM by CWC Like a good pair of high-waisted leggings, skinny jeans will always hold a special place in our hearts and our closets. But in 2019, super-fitted denim will have some stiff competition—not just from non-stretch jeans, but from several different denim trends expected to be everywhere this year. Waistlines are on the rise (literally, some higher than the belly button) and legs are getting roomier. Everything from a slight boot-cut to a ’70s wide-leg pant is fair game for spring. Colorful denim is also in bloom, from neutral shades like pink, lavender, and olive to bright, bold colors like magenta, blue, and red. While all of the newness in denim is exciting, one of the top denim trends is the return of the classic straight leg. The cut, which Levi’s 501s have made famous again and again (and again and again) is back in a big way. In every shade of blue imaginable, the classic fit is the comfort jean a lot of women will be living in this year. Whether you refer to them as your “mom” jean or as your “vintage style,” this fit is wide enough in the thigh, high enough at the waist and roomy enough at the calf to feel GOOD. To figure out what other denim trends will be coming for our skinny jeans in 2019, we checked in with stylist Megan Hungerford, to get her favorite picks for each of our denim trends.
