Shop once, eat 5 times with this healthy meal plan straight from a dietitian

June 18, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC One of the most annoying things you’ll hear from experts if you ask them about tips for easy weeknight cooking: “Just cook with what you have on hand.” Please. When I opened my fridge this morning, I only had cottage cheese, Gatorade zero, and some lentil salads to my name. Sounds more like the makings for a next-level Chopped challenge than it is a satisfying healthy dinner. The point is that it’s hard to cook from your fridge if you don’t really know what to stock up on (or how to use said stockpiled ingredients). That’s why I called up Maggie Michalczyk, MS, RD, and blogger at Once Upon a Pumpkin for help. She created a healthy grocery list of tasty, approachable ingredients (no fennel pollen here!) that could then be used for simple dinners every night of the work week. With staples that all complement one another, you can mix and match to make a whole week’s worth of meals. And don’t worry—her healthy dinner meal plan includes the full recipes, too. Cooking at home just got a little bit easier. ad_intervals[‘400593_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘400593_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); What you should buy: 1/2 lb lean ground turkey 1 lb shrimp 5 medium-sized zucchini 3 bell peppers (any colors you like) 1/2 lb low-sodium deli-style chicken 1 14.5-oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes 1 small onion 1 lemon 1 package sprouted or whole wheat tortillas 1 bag baby spinach

Here’s *exactly* how to keep your hair from fading this summer

3 min read

June 18, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC As the saying goes, nothing gold can stay—namely those honey blonde highlights we may or may not have forgotten to care for in the weeks after that balayage appointment. Fact: Keeping our strands salon-fresh can sometimes feel like a losing battle, especially in the summer when time spent in the sun, in the pool, or at the beach is at an all time high. That’s why we enlisted the help of George Papanikolas, Matrix celebrity colorist extraordinaire who counts Penelope Cruz, Kim Kardashian, Adriana Lima, and Shay Mitchell as clients, to help us figure out how we can stretch the lifespan of our color. The number one mistake most people make immediately after leaving the salon? Not picking up the proper after-care products. Even if you aren’t buying all of the items your stylist suggests, Papanikolas recommends removing any products that are generally harsh on the hair, and replacing them with hydrating, color-protective formulas. Particularly if you’ve gone for blonder ambitions, neutralizing any shifts in tone is key. ad_intervals[‘388766_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘388766_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); “You want to go opposite of the color wheel, so the color on the opposite end of orange is blue. With yellow, you want to go with a purple,” explains Papanikolas, who recommends Biolage Colorlast ($19) for blondes, and a blue-based shampoo like the Total Results Brass Off ($14) for brunettes. “Use gentle, hydrating formulas that keep the cuticle tight.

This fool-proof dressing room test will ensure your sports bra will *actually* keep you supported during your workout

June 18, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC I do Crossfit (wow, what an opener—I promise not to mention it 800 more times in this article), so finding a sports bra that is going to contain my boobs is of utmost importance. Because as any well-endowed woman likely knows, doing high-impact activities in a sports bra that doesn’t keep your chest in check is downright painful… and certain movements can sometimes jiggle your boobs straight out of your bra. Case in point: one time I was doing deadlifts and my boob full-on popped out—Thank goodness my tank top covered everything and I was able to safely tuck things back in place without anyone seeing nipple. At least, that’s what I tell myself. Someone may have seen. Moving on. Being paranoid about my boob flying out is not the energy I need when I’m working out. Naturally, it’s stressful to take a new sports bra out for a spin during high impact activities. I have no idea going in how it’s going to hold up to burpees and running and box jumps. Luckily there are a few tests you can do when shopping for a bra that will let you know if it’s safe to wear during HIIT. I asked Jennifer Bandier, founder of Bandier, and Lauren Vickers, F45 Athletics team manager to share their tips on how to pick a supportive sports bra. ad_intervals[‘401269_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘401269_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); “In looking for a bra
