Here’s how I work out with NYC’s cult-fave model trainer…for free
March 04, 2019 at 12:18PM by CWC Anytime your favorite models are in New York City, you can always find them at the Dogpound, training with founder Kirk Myers. The tough-as-nails workouts include activities that range from super-heavy weightlifting to resistance band training. And that’s exactly why it’s such a hot-spot. The wide range of activities keeps fitness fun with impressive results. While anyone can train at the Dogpound, booking time with Myers himself is expensive. A single session runs $500, and a pack of 12 is $5,400. (This is the kind of money I definitely don’t have to spend on fitness; I have student loans!) The good news is that it’s completely possible to train with him for free. You just have to follow him on Instagram. Myers consistently shares the workout routines of everyone from Jasmine Tookes to Ashley Graham. And while working out with him via Instagram isn’t exactly the same as the in-person experience, you’ll reap similar benefits for free. The next time you’d ready to sweat, choose a few model-approved exercises from each of the categories below for a full-body workout. Want a Dogpound workout for free?

Uh-oh! Derms say these face mist ingredients can actually dry out skin
March 04, 2019 at 11:01AM by CWC Ever since the facial mist became a popular beauty product, I’ve hoarded a ton so that I can keep one on my desk, one in my bag, and one at home so that I can spritz my skin at a moment’s notice. Mists are the easiest skin-care product to incorporate—all you have to do is spritz and enjoy the hydrating, refreshing benefits. But…that’s only if you’re doing it right. Sure, you can spray your skin whenever, wherever you want with whatever your go-to hydrosol is—but certain facial mists can actually result in a dried-out effect on your skin. “It seems counterintuitive, because we use facial mists to help create a dewy glow on the skin and to hydrate,” says Purvisha Patel, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Visha Skincare. “After all, they’re augmented water-based products. But some ingredients could make your skin more dry.” A couple of ingredients to avoid in your facial mist? Tea tree oil and citrus. “You should avoid tea tree in your face mist because, though it’s an oil, it can make your skin drier,” she says. “It’s used on oily skin to combat acne. And mists with citrus oils can actually make the skin rash when exposed to the sun, and can be more irritating than helpful.” Also, that endless spritzing isn’t as innocent as it may seem. “Over-misting—like, once every hour—could disrupt the oil barrier on skin and make you more dry,” says Dr. Patel. “It would
Jennifer Garner found inspiration in this reverse poem (and so will you)
March 04, 2019 at 10:31AM by CWC Despite what you might have deduced from your Instagram feed, nobody lives a perfect life. We all have good days—the sun is shining, you killed it at your morning boxing workout, and your favorite barista whipped up a flawless turmeric latte. And bad days, too—something goes wrong that changes your attitude for the worse and it lasts all day long. That’s just how it is. But putting a positive spin on a day that seems out of your control might only require a new perspective. Jennifer Garner recently shared a reverse poem by Chanie Gorkin (who wrote it as a school assignment in 2014) on Instagram. It’s hitting home for thousands of her followers. When you first read through it, the poem described a relatable #worstdayever. Nothing good happens and happiness feels fleeting. But when you get to the end and read it again—this time from the bottom to the top—the same words become something completely inspiring. View this post on Instagram Perspective for a Sunday. #bottomtotop #worstdayever #bestdayever A post shared by Jennifer Garner (@jennifer.garner) on Mar 3, 2019 at 3:33pm PST //www.instagram.com/embed.js Reverse poems burst with the power to inspire you to live your best life. When you’re feeling unworthy, thinking things will never get better, and that you’ll never make a difference in the world, a reverse poem might remind you that with a change in attitude, you can do and be anything you want.

The best under $50 black leggings that Anna Wintour would totally approve of
March 04, 2019 at 10:27AM by CWC In the fashion world, the “AWOK”—AKA the Anna Wintour stamp of approval—is one of the highest possible honors. It’s been bestowed upon the world’s top designers—and in some cases, it’s actually how they became the world’s top designers—and more recently it got scribbled onto a pair of seriously chic sneakers where it was forever immortalized in the wellness world. And now, Wintour has leant the AWOK to everyone’s favorite athleisure item: the black legging. In a recent Vogue.com video titled, “Ask Anna Anything,” a reader inquired about the legendary editor’s thoughts on the athleisure essential. And while it’s pretty clear from her initial chuckle that she’s not totally on board with the whole gymwear-as-streetwear thing, she does have a few positive things to say about it. “Well, this is not the first time in fashion that we’ve celebrated leggings,” Wintour says of the history behind the stretchy wardrobe staple. “We saw them happen I think first in the ’80s, courtesy of I believe Azzedine Alaia, and also the explosion in fitness and everybody starting to workout in a frantic way that they hadn’t done before.” Then, she goes on to drop the truth bomb fitness-slash-fashion aficionados have been waiting for: “I tend to think they look best in black.” Earth-shattering insight, right there. And in what might just be the best moment in the whole video, a producer points out that Anna Wintour herself had a pink leggings moment in 1993, to which she
