I want to be Jennifer Garner’s BFF so she’ll give me her favorite detangling brush

2 min read

March 18, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC “Enviable” is one word to describe Jennifer Garner‘s hair, am I right? While the actress has a countless number of products at her fingertips to keep her strands shiny, the product she credits the most for her damage-free hair is a detangling brush. In an interview with InStyle, Garner shared she’s a a big fan of the Sheila Stotts Removal Brush ($31). She’s happy to spread her hard-earned wisdom to the masses (and her BFFs). “I give these hairbrushes to all my girlfriends,” Garner says. “I have a store of them in my drawer. If I have a friend come over with a daughter and she’s brushing her hair with one of our brushes, I know she’s going to go home with it.” So, what’s so great about this brush, anyway? While some brushes cause breakage—especially when used with wet hair—this option has metal, needle-like bristles made for detangling that won’t catch. In fact, it’s gentle enough that you can use it in the shower to get rid of knots, distribute your conditioner evenly, and even give yourself a relaxing scalp massage. If it sounds a tad too pricey for a hairbrush, don’t worry—there’s another option. The Wet Brush, which is also designed to care for fragile wet strands, is just $10. Either way, you’re bound to have Garner-level shine in no time. To upgrade your shower routine beyond your brush of choice, add some CBD shampoo and conditioner into the mix, too. Just make sure you don’t

Finally—A Guide To Wearing (Sustainable) Street Style You Can Actually Pull Off

3 min read

March 17, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Despite the amount of style inspo stashed on your Insta saved page or all the trips you make to your neighborhood vintage shop, putting together a Tracee Ellis Ross-level street style look is plain hard. The key? Creating unexpected pairings by throwing together an edgy dress and a classic pair of sneaks, or a cozy sweater with matching shoes for a monochrome effect. It’s totally acceptable (and cool) to pair unusual-yet-still-harmonious pieces together to create an outfit that’s all your own. And it’s even better when you can do it sustainably. To help you get started, we curated three equally photo-worthy get-ups that also go easy on the planet. The common denominator is the Sperry BIONIC® shoe—a low-key kick that comes in three different styles, an assortment of colors, and is crafted from recycled ocean plastic. Posing with your own (reusable) canteen never looked so good. Scroll down for three sustainable fashion looks to take your street style to the next level. Pro tip: Layering is always key. Since it’s spring and you can’t predict if it’ll be sunny and pleasant or a freezing hellscape, throwing on a black sweater underneath this glam dress is the ultimate hack—and clearly should be shown off in your OOTD post. Next, mix your patterns. We picked the Sperry BIONIC® Boat Shoe in a subtle navy stripe to play with your eco-friendly frock’s saucy snakeskin print. Strap on a fanny pack with a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, and

Is it time to kill the idea of the perfect morning routine?

6 min read

March 17, 2019 at 01:25PM by CWC A few weeks ago I started a new morning routine. Since I primarily work from home and can set my own hours on most days, I decided to live the (self-care) dream with my ideal morning routine. The idea was to do it for a month, and narrow down from there. Let me say up front: I had been compiling ideas for a long time.  So it was kind of a ridiculously long list. But in the spirit of experimentation, I fully I believed I would be able to do all of them for a solid month, since I’d gotten good results from all of them individually. Spoiler: It lasted eight days. And in that time I kind of wrecked my life—or at least my sleep schedule, which took a hit because I had to find time somewhere for all these extra to-do’s. This was my regimen: • Wake up and do a quick body-scan meditation. Do a “thank you” morning mantra, saying (out loud) everything I’m grateful for. 10 minutes. • Journal longhand for three pages, using The Artist’s Way method of writing “morning pages.” 20 minutes. • Clean up morning mouth by using a tongue scraper, then oil pulling with coconut oil for 15 minutes. Brush teeth. 10 minutes. • Drink 8–12 ounces of water and head out for a workout. 90 minutes. • Make the post-workout smoothie of my dreams: some kind of combo with greens, bananas, cacao, maca, and plant-based protein. 20
