“Heritage travel” is the latest trend thanks to Airbnb and 23andMe
May 22, 2019 at 09:46AM by CWC Heritage travel is the latest trend you’ll want to add to your bucket list. Jetting off to another country to meet distant relatives or simply explore your family’s history is a great way to make those stories you heard growing up really come to life. In the past, these trips were something you researched and booked yourself. But now Airbnb and 23andMe are teaming up to make the process so much easier. According to Airbnb, interest in heritage travel is on the rise, with a 500 percent increase in travelers using the service to trace their roots since 2014. Working with 23andMe, Airbnb’s hope is to make it even easier for you to “travel the world based on your DNA.” “At Airbnb, we believe that authentic travel experiences help you connect with local cultures and create a sense of belonging anywhere in the world—and what better way to do that than traveling to your roots?” said Joe Gebbia, Airbnb cofounder and chief product officer, per a press release. “We’re proud to team up with 23andMe, the leader in helping people learn about their genes and ancestry, to make it easier for travelers to plan trips as unique as their DNA.” So, how exactly does it work? There are two ways you can go about planning heritage travel. If you want to use 23andMe, you can click through to a specific geographic locations based on ancestry. And if you already have a good understanding

There are 3 distinct types of selfishness—and only *this* one is good
May 22, 2019 at 08:07AM by CWC The term “selfish” shares a similar connotation to words like “tarantula,” “burpees,” and “Monday.” No one wants it to happen, but—let’s be real here—every once in a while, we all have the tendency to promote self-interest. Am I selfish for putting myself first? The answer is probably yes, but psychologists say that it doesn’t always mean it’s wrong. Like Neapolitan ice cream, selfishness has three specific flavors—and only two of them are good. According to Psychology Today, there are three distinct types of selfish actions: the good, the bad, and the neutral. John Johnson, PhD, a former professor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University, says that whenever you’re not sure if your actions veer too far toward greediness, the question to ask yourself is this: “Who’s benefiting from my ‘selfish’ behavior?” If your answer is more of an overlapping Venn diagram of mutual reward than a pie that’s all for you, then your actions might not be so self-absorbed after all. You want to scrutinize your motivation a bit more, however, with the three buckets of selfishness. Good selfishness: This flavor is illustrated in the aforementioned Venn diagram. Dr. Johnsons says that this type is a mutually-beneficial, win-win situations for both parties involved. Let’s say, for example, that you and your friend’s favorite purveyor of athleisure is having a buy one, get one deal on leggings. Just split the cost of the first pair right down the middle—and bam—you both walk away with fresh

These drugstore body products will turn any old shower into a five-star spa
May 22, 2019 at 07:52AM by CWC While showering may not be the most glam aspect of a person’s beauty routine, for me, it is sacred. In the morning, it’s my time to pump up for the day ahead (…usually by blasting Lizzo and singing into a loofa), and at night it’s how I decompress before getting into bed. It’s the closest thing I’ve got to being able to go to a spa every day (#goals), so I try and relish the time by making sure I’m stocked with products that make the entire experience feel like a luxury for my skin. While you may think it requires a whole lot of pricey products to make that happen, that’s not actually the case. In fact, just about every product that I use to care for my body—from soap to scrubs to lotion, and everything in between—comes from my local drugstore. While you probably already know that you can find some serious face-care scores in the aisles of CVS, Target, and the likes (and if you don’t believe me—here are a few that both dermatologists and editors can’t get enough of), what you may not realize is that the same principles apply to body products. From moisturizing and detoxifying soaps to creams that will make you want to add an extra 10-minutes to your regular lotion application routine, there are plenty of products worth adding to your body care arsenal—none of which cost more than $15. Here, a few favorites in
