Nike introduced us to running on air, and the Joyride will show us what it’s like to run on bubbles
July 24, 2019 at 10:00PM by CWC Gird your wallets: Nike is launching a new running shoe line that even I, a non-avid runner, need in my closet. It’s called Nike Joyride, and they are seriously making me reconsider my anti-running tendencies. Nike says running in one of these shoes is like running on bubbles, which is a truly delightful image. I spent approximately one minute running through all the other ways to describe how wearing shoes feels (clouds, Dippin’ Dots, etc.), and can say with finality that “on bubbles” is not only correct, but also how I want every pair of my shoes to feel. The bubble feeling comes from the beads, made from a plastic and rubber copolymer called “TPE,” that are strategically placed in pods in the heel portion of the footbed of the shoes. These create a unique cushion that helps with impact absorption. Nike tested over 150 materials before landing on this one (I’m assuming that their decision-making system involved some sort of bubble ranking), with the whole point being to “give your legs a day off” without, you know, actually taking a day off. ad_intervals[‘410599_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘410599_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Image: Nike The inspo for these cushiony kicks came from noticing that parks with a paved running course almost always have a parallel path where the grass has been worn down. (This feels vaguely Whitman-esque to me.) That’s because a dirt or grass path is easier on
Make a case for dessert for breakfast with this hearty breakfast cookie skillet
July 24, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC https://content.jwplatform.com/players/RxLBvhSa-AjgxWzQ7.js Who else has been side-stepping their sweet tooth in favor of bland breakfasts? No offense to your standard oatmeal, but there’s no reason for breakfast to win most boring meal of the day. It’s time to amp things up—which is exactly what food blogger and recipe developer Marie Reginato did at our latest Well+Good Retreat, with a dreamy dessert-turned-breakfast berry and tahini cookie skillet. “The inspiration for this recipe came from my very demanding sweet tooth,” Reginato says. “Yet I wanted to create a hearty breakfast cookie that instead uses fresh summer berries and juicy medjool dates to add pops of sweetness with every bite.” ad_intervals[‘400493_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘400493_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); The recipe requires the ultra creaminess of real milk, which is why Reginato—who’s dairy sensitive—opted for easy-to-digest Lactaid®. “It’s real dairy milk, just without the lactose,” explains Reginato. Plus, the whole shebang isn’t time-consuming, so consider it a go-to morning hack. “It’s a beautiful recipe that holds up so well over the week—making it a great quick breakfast.” Watch the video above to see this cookie skillet recipe come to life, and check out the step-by-step instructions below. Hearty Berry and Tahini Butter Breakfast Cookie Skillet Yield: 2 servings Ingredients 2½ cups oat flour 1¼ cups rolled oats 1 tsp sea salt 2 tsp ground cinnamon ½ cup tahini or peanut butter 2 tbsp melted ghee, plus extra to grease the skillet ½ cup
Confused about CBD? These are the 5 most commonly asked questions, answered by an industry insider
July 24, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Unless you haven’t refreshed your Instagram (or the internet) in the past year, you know that CBD is all the rage within the wellness bubble as an all-around game-changer for staying balanced. But even though CBD has become a staple part of a lot of people’s wellness routines, there’s still a ton of confusion concerning the topic. “There are a lot of misconceptions about CBD,” Virginia Savoie, product development manager for Manitoba Harvest Foods says. “People are still confused as to what CBD actually is and it is our goal to make it easier to understand.” (See? You’re totally not the only one asking the important questions.) CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is one of over a 100 naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids extracted from the hemp or cannabis plant. “The most well-known cannabinoids are CBD, which is non-impairing, and THC which can lead to impairment,” Savoie explains. ad_intervals[‘406368_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘406368_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); Okay, so now that you have a basic understanding of what CBD is, it’s time for a few more lessons on the subject. To gain some clarity on the latest addition to everyone’s wellness routines, Savoie shared her most frequently heard CBD questions.

These 5-minute easy updos are saving us from the hot, hot heat of summer
July 24, 2019 at 05:00PM by CWC The term “summer hair” evokes imagery of free-spirited gals frolicking along a beach with perfectly-textured and tousled locks flowing behind them. The reality, however, tends to be a little less idyllic and a lot more sweaty, especially when it’s hot as Hades plus humidity outside (as it likely is wherever you live at this very moment, and possibly forever in the future #climatecrisis). No matter how much maintenance you’ve engaged in to keep those summer strands from frizzing out, losing their luster, and suffering sun damage, it can be tough to make a look happen rather than have it happen to you, especially when you’re just desperate to get heat-trapping hair off your sticky skin. To aid you in doing just that, I’ve culled some quick-and-dirty—but in a pretty way!—Insta inspo to serve as a guide. From top knots to low ponys, milkmaid braids to space buns, these easy updos take five minutes or less to help summer hair live up to its reputation while preventing you from hospitalization-by-heat-stroke. (Stay hydrated, though.) ad_intervals[‘410190_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘410190_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); It’s gettin’ hot out here, so take up all your hair… I am, gettin’ so hot, I want to put my hair up… 1. TWIN CHIGNONS Few I’m-desperate-to-ventilate-my-neck hairstyles can masquerade as intentional glam quite like this beauty. The flair helps.

This is what kind of regal Leo you are, according to your moon sign
July 24, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC What do Kylie Jenner and Barack Obama have in common? Aside from their stratospheric Instagram-follower counts, they’re both Leos—the fifth sign of the zodiac, assigned to those born between July 23 and August 22. Broadly speaking, it’s easy to see how the Lip Kit queen and the 44th United States President both embody Leo traits. “Leos can be very extroverted, with flare for the dramatic and expressive,” says astrologer and coach Natalia Benson, creator of the Astrology Empowerment Class Series. “But being that Leo is a fixed sign, they are also strong in their convictions and sure of themselves. Leos are very regal. It’s the nature of their sign.” (Leo is the sign of the lion, after all, AKA king of the jungle.) That said, these two famous and spotlight-loving Leos have clearly gone down very different paths: One’s dedicated his life to public service, and the other to posting selfies (and, okay, sure, some other stuff, too)—what’s that all about? Well, the sun sign is just one of many elements that make up a person’s natal astrology chart, which provides a snapshot of our personality based on the planets’ placements at our exact time and place of birth. Another key chart aspect is the moon sign, which reflects our inner selves and our emotional lives. ad_intervals[‘409850_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘409850_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); Given that the moon moves into a new sign every two days, there are
