August 14, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC SPF seems like a skin-care product that should be considered one-size fits all.” Because no matter what skin type you have, everyone needs to protect their faces, and that’s kind of that. But sensitive skin—the kind that’s more prone to allergic reactions, dryness, or eczema—has certain requirements from a sunscreen’s ingredient label for the sake of being properly protected. The most important things when picking out sunscreen for sensitive skin? Wear it…365. “Sunscreen doesn’t just protect you from sunburns, it also reduces the appearance of sun damage like hyperpigmentation, red spots, dry skin, and evens out the tone of your skin,” says Gretchen Frieling, MD, a Boston-based board certified dermatopathologist. “Not wearing sunscreen if you have sensitive skin is just not smart. You are only going to aggravate your skin, worsening the problem.” So not only is it important to wear sunscreen for sensitive skin, but it’s also crucial that you’re using the right stuff. “When looking for a sunscreen, people with sensitive skin should look for formulas containing physical blockers only with either zinc or titanium dioxide, as these active ingredients are less likely to cause a reaction,” says Rita Linkner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist. In fact, zinc oxide is a key ingredient in many diaper rash creams, meant to soothe babies’ irritated skin, making it a great ingredient for those sensitive types looking for a sunscreen. ad_intervals[‘414501_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘414501_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); While chemical filters

You have the right to rewrite your resume as many times as you want, according to a career pro
August 14, 2019 at 05:57AM by CWC Go to college, get a degree, and start working your way up the ladder in your chosen field… forever. How many times have we heard this career-path advice? And how many of us now feel, well, stuck? According to Sinead Bovell, a lot. The founder of WAYE (that stands for “weekly advice for young entrepreneurs,” btw) counts model, MBA holder, and tech evangelist among her own varied hats, and just dropped three key steps to unlocking your career path at our Wellness Collective event with Athleta. “You are not confined to a job or industry simply because that is what you have done up until now,” says Bovell. “Your dream job should be an extension of yourself and who you are, and that usually means you will have to create it yourself—but don’t be afraid to do that!” ad_intervals[‘415326_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘415326_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); To do so, imagine it’s 10 years in the future and your friends and family are giving a toast in your honor—specifically about your achievements. In an ideal world, what would they be saying? The key to this exercise is removing the usual roadblocks (ahem, imposter syndrome) and thinking through what this vision of your own success would really look like. Nothing is off limits—just jot down your answer. Now that you’ve zero-ed in on this dream goal, write down the short- and medium-term steps you can take to make this 10-year

This 8-minute morning stretch routine will wake you up when you don’t have time for yoga
August 14, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC In theory, getting up early for a pre-work yoga class is never a bad idea—it can help to undo the tech neck, tight hips, and lower-back aches brought on by the daily grind and intensified by long stretches of time in bed. But let’s be real: In an era when being “tired all the time” has its own clever acronym, an extra hour in bed often wins out over warrior poses at dawn. Fortunately, you don’t have to fully sacrifice lithe, flexible muscles in favor of a full eight hours of sleep. According to Samira Mustafaeva, a former world-champion gymnast and founder of the SM Stretching studios in Los Angeles and Russia, all you need is an eight-minute morning stretch sesh to set you up for a more limber day. “Stretching can be done at any time of the day, but the morning is especially great because it awakens your muscles from slumber and gets you ready to go about your day,” she says, adding that a shorter routine is actually better because your joints will be stiffer after sleep. This is especially true if you’re starting as soon as you get out of bed, without a workout as a warmup. “Doing a few stretches in the a.m. with no prior workout is fine—just don’t do anything too sharp or pull too hard,” she says. “Push yourself as far as you are comfortable, without any serious discomfort, to wake up the body.” ad_intervals[‘413212_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’]
Is your resolved argument really over if you still have bad lingering feelings about it?
August 14, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC Stale, negative energy. That’s the best way I can describe the situation of having made up with your partner after a fight, and the bad feelings continue to linger. Relationship arguments are extra confusing to settle when your head and heart don’t forgive and actually let things go at the same time. Because though on face value, you’ve each said what you need to say and heard what you need to hear, settled the issue, and are cool again with each other, you’re not quite there yet 100 percent and earnestly. And when your partner tries to extend their olive branch even further, sending you a cute meme or a text, no part of you wants to respond. Is it rude to ignore? Are you still angry? Could this mean the issue isn’t even resolved properly? First, know that this continuum of feelings is oh-so normal, and there’s a difference between a cooling-off period and subjecting someone to the silent treatment. When what you’re experiencing is a simple, healthy cooling off period, the two of you maybe just need some emotional and physical space or some time apart. ad_intervals[‘409486_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘409486_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); The silent treatment, though, is kind of a no-no. When done with intention, it functions as a passive-aggressive mechanism to control and punish your partner, and can even be a sign of narcissism. Furthermore, one 2017 study points out that in the
Here’s how to know if that snack you’re eating is actually a legit meal
August 14, 2019 at 02:01AM by CWC In this age of I’m-too-busy-for-an-actual-meal, we have become a society of snackers. (Shout out to everyone literally eating a snack right now as you read this.) Walk into any drugstore and there’s at least half an aisle devoted to protein bars. Even avocado toast has transformed into a gym bag-friendly morsel. There are so many snack options that it honestly wouldn’t be that hard to live off snack products alone, instead of taking the time to piece together an actual meal. The lines between snacks and meals is definitely blurred. To help bring some clarity, I called up Jaime Schehr, NP, RD, a nationally recognized expert in integrative medicine and nutrition. Simply put, she explains that a meal is meant to fill someone up longer than a snack. “A meal is meant to fill someone up for at least three hours and is going to have the macronutrients we need, which unless you are doing keto [or another very specific eating plan], that includes protein, carbohydrates, and fiber,” Dr. Schehr explains, adding that this primarily looks like something veggie-based paired with a protein. ad_intervals[‘415114_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘415114_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); “What I tell my clients is that if you have breakfast at 8 a.m., your meal should be comprehensive enough so that it fills you up until at least 11 a.m.,” Dr. Schehr says. If not, it likely isn’t hitting those macronutrient buckets she details. This doesn’t mean
