11 hair-care products that’ll protect and revive your hair from sun damage
July 07, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC I’m so incredibly diligent with sunscreen on my face and body that the people who are around me 24/7 tend to roll their eyes as I reapply…yet again. Whatever, guys. I will admit that I’m not as smart about protecting my hair from the sun, even though the rays can spell trouble for strands as well. “The sun, ocean, and chlorine can all damage your hair,” says Edward Tricomi, master stylist and co-owner of Warren Tricomi salons. “I suggest always using a UV protectant spray to guard your hair from harsh rays.” And if you want to be extra careful, tossing on a floppy hat can be a good idea as well. It might not be as apparent as a lobster-red sunburn, but in over extended sun exposure, hair can weaken. “The sun can make hair brittle and easier to break,” says cosmetic chemist Ginger King. If your hair’s getting prolonged sun exposure, the UVA and UVB rays can damage the outside cover of the hair strand, adds Carolyn Aronson, CEO and founder of It’s a 10 Haircare. “It’s damaging the cuticle,” she says. “Signs of sun damage to your hair include discoloration, dry and brittle strands, broken or split ends, thinning, and frizziness. Damaged hair has a dry look and feel, and the cuticle layer is fully open, which allows hair color to fade.” ad_intervals[‘404341_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404341_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Much to our luck, UV-protecting
9 cooling weighted blankets to keep you comfy on hot summer nights
July 07, 2019 at 06:03AM by CWC There’s absolutely nothing worse than drifting off to sleep blissfully wrapped up in your cozy, anxiety-reducing weighted blanket only to wake up in the middle of the night lying in a pool of your own sweat. That’s not exactly the pool I was hoping to spend time in this summer. I pictured a lot more swan floats and lavender-infused cocktails in that scenario. During the cold winter months, sleeping with a weighted blanket isn’t a problem. Any extra warmth is greatly appreciated. But it’s not like I’m just going to suddenly abandon my prized possession for a single top sheet in order to stay cool throughout the summer. No, thank you. To combat the issue, some companies have created cooling weighted blanket options that bring on the comfort—minus the sweat!—using things like temperature control materials and glass beads. It’s a (literal) dream come true. When you’re ready to get the best night’s sleep of your life this summer, these are the best cooling weighted blankets for summer. ad_intervals[‘405085_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘405085_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); The best cooling weighted blankets Buy Now BlanQuil Chill Cooling Weighted Blanket $249 Buy Now Pine and River Cooling Weighted Blanket $80 Buy Now COMHO Weighted Blanket with Cooling Cotton $43 Buy Now Degrees of Comfort Weighted Blanket with Covers for Hot & Cold Sleepers $120 Buy Now Weighted Evolution Cooling Weighted Blanket $110 Buy Now CuteKing Cooling Weighted Blanket $100 Buy Now
This $15 yoga mat bag is the most exciting thing I got on Amazon all year
July 07, 2019 at 04:01AM by CWC Whenever I go to yoga, I try my hardest not to bring a bag. All I need are the essentials: phone, keys, wallet, water bottle, and of course, my mat. But since most leggings have no pockets, I either begrudgingly carry a tote or perform a balancing act that once ended with my phone on the subway tracks. But one day, I’d had enough. As any good millennial, I turned to Amazon to solve my problems. And then, I stumbled upon this beauty: Wismi Yoga Mat Carrier Bag ($15). Photo: wismi The bag is complete a spot for your water bottle and a HUGE front pocket that’s big enough to carry my all the stuff I mentioned before plus a small book and (probably) all the products in my skincare routine. It’s also got an inside pocket for anything you want to keep hidden. It’s a canvas bag with an adjustable strap that comes in 11 super-cute patterns and colors. ad_intervals[‘404803_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404803_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’);}); } }, 100); Now, please excuse me while I take my multifunctional yoga mat bag and pretend to be an organized minimalist while on my way to class. Practicing on a mat can actually make some of your poses harder. And here’s how to keep from sliding around your mat like it’s a slip ‘n slide.

These energy bites are the snack of choice for the healthiest people in the world
July 07, 2019 at 02:01AM by CWC Amid all the snack innovations that have happened in recent years (and oh, boy, there have been many), “energy bites” fascinate me the most. I mean, they basically claim to be the noshing equivalent of a tall cup of coffee. And in the era of being tired all the time it seems necessary. Of course though, not all energy balls are created equal (health-wise or energy-wise). We have to be extra-choosy with our snacking choices—and what better way to do that then to take a (recipe book) page from the residents of Blue Zones—the world’s healthy hubs. These destinations—which include Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; and Okinawa, Japan—are known for producing centenarians. And the no-bake nut energy bites that appeared in a recent Blue Zones newsletter feature a few favorite ingredients of 100-year-olds. According to the site, the primary ingredient is handful of nuts fit to boost brain function. Once all the other components have been mixed well, what you end up with is a treat that’s naturally sweet and loaded with fiber. ad_intervals[‘405537_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘405537_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Apart from the almonds, almond butter, and shelled pistachios to meet that brain food quota, the recipe also calls for dates, rolled oats, cranberries, white chocolate chips (which you could sub for normal chocolate chips if you feel “bleh” about white chocolate—as I do), chia seeds, cranberries, and agave. All you have to do is mold the
