September 13, 2019 at 07:25PM by CWC Together with Citi, we’re finding out how inspiring entrepreneurs saved to make their dreams reality. Find out the saving hacks vice president of fitness programming at Peloton and bestselling author Robin Arzon used to do it below, and get more information on how to be smarter with your savings here. Ask yourself: What’s holding you back from exploring opportunities in your dream career field? If the answer is savings, or lack thereof, you’re not the only one. Robin Arzon, vice president of fitness programming at Peloton and bestselling author of Shut Up and Run, is the prime example of not letting finances keep you from chasing down your ultimate career goal. But leaving a secure job to pursue her passion for writing and fitness wasn’t an overnight process. “I left a law career for fitness with a singular vision: Get people to step into their power,” Arzon says. “As an athlete and ultra-marathoner, I’m always thinking of new ways to find power in movement.” From that inner motivation, she made a plan. “Departure from law happened over a two year process,” Arzon explains, a time period she decided upon to have enough time to save a full year of living expenses for when she set out on her own. “Small decisions amounted to a lot—I set a calendar on my phone for 10 minutes every day and I would commit to spending ten minutes emailing, calling, or researching something or someone I was curious

What Cleo Wade gets about the struggles of working mothers that too many people don’t
September 13, 2019 at 05:03PM by CWC Poet, artist and influencer Cleo Wade is—congrats!—having a baby. Recently, she made the announcement on Instagram to a flood of well-wishers. But because the internet is what it is, one commenter went full snide: “I see all these young women really hitting their stride professionally [are] then getting pregnant right at a high point,” they wrote. “I don’t get that. I never will.” Oh, honey. A bad move. In a follow-up post, Wade responded cheerfully that the good news is… it’s none of their effing business (my words, not hers)! And while we’re here, Wade decided to lay down a few things she didn’t get about the intersections of womanhood and the working world: “I don’t get why women don’t get equal pay for equal work. I don’t get why women are almost always responsible for being the main caregivers in households across America but our country has yet to, at the federal level, legally standardize fair workplace policies like paid leave for new parents and caregivers of sick family members. “I don’t get why all women don’t have access to quality affordable healthcare so they can safely have their children without it putting them into bankruptcy. “And last but not least, I don’t get why women’s reproductive rights are constantly under attack—I am actually completely unclear as to why anyone believes the government should have any say in when or IF a woman should choose to start [a] family.” View this post
Yep, you can mimic Swedish or deep tissue massages with just a ball
September 13, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Some people come home to significant others who love and cherish them—and, like, that’s cool. Personally, I’m at the stage of my life where I’m most excited to walk through my front door and find my three sweethearts: my foam roller, lacrosse ball, and Theragun. We gather together on my yoga mat and work through my ultra-sore muscles until right before bed. They give me free massages without asking for anything in return. I’m smitten for each and every one of them, and once you know how to transform your own recovery tools into at-home masseuses, you’ll feel the same way. At the Wanderlust 108 festival in Brooklyn, Julie Wu—an instructor with RAD roller—taught me how to transform any recovery tool into a bodywork specialist equipped to give both a Swedish massage (which is usually lighter) or a deep-tissue massage (which is way more intense). According to Wu, the fastest way to switch up the pressure a tool applies to your muscles is to change the surface upon which you are rolling. If you sprawl out on hard wood, for instance, a lacrosse ball won’t have nearly as much of as a buffer as it would on say, turf or carpet. And thus, if you desire a massage that goes deep, deep, deep into your muscle tissues, you need only locate harder patch of ground. “When you use [a ball] on a hard surface, you get a little less compression out of the
Your preference for night, afternoon, or morning sex says a lot about who you are
September 13, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC “When do you like to bang?” is probably not a question you were expecting to get asked today (or maybe you were, IDK your life), but here we are. Just like people like different things in bed, they also like to get it on at different times of the day. Sorry for distracting you at work, but think about your favorite time to have sex. Maybe you’re especially horny in the morning right before work, or 10 p.m. is your go-time. It’s all normal! But the time you like to have sex can tell a lot about your personality. Morning sex people tend to be more introverted, and prefer long-term, monogamous relationships while night people are more chill about casual sex and tend to be more extraverted, writes David Ludden, PhD, for Psychology Today. But I think we can break it down even further. Here’s what the time of day you like to do it says about you: Early morning (like, really early) If it’s during the week, amazing. Bang it out before work. Respect. But if you love super early morning sex on the weekends, I have questions. Are you setting an alarm? Do you naturally get up at this time? But props for keeping a consistent sleep schedule because I never can. Clearly you have a nighttime ritual that helps you fall asleep—journaling is involved. Morning sex You think liking dogs is a personality, and 100 percent have the VSCO app
Running in the rain is an inevitable part of training—here’s how to keep it comfy
September 13, 2019 at 02:30PM by CWC I’ll use just about any excuse not to go for run: “The air quality isn’t great today.” “My allergies are acting up.” “My cats will miss me too much.” So, I am definitely not one to lace up my trainers when the skies open up and let it rain; however, I recognize that not all humans are as motivationally-challenged as I am (and that goes double for those who have 20-milers penned on their calendars for the very near future). As fall and winter begin to bring their delightfully damp days, marathon training halts for no one. Because, you know: runner’s gotta run. If you’re one of these said runners, I’d like to, at the very least, help keep you as comfortable as possible (in part because I need to engender favor with fit individuals who can help me survive the dystopian future; in part because running while feeling soppy can feel daunting). You’ll need some sort of a hat, a windbreaker, moisture-wicking lower-body clothing, and, of course, the right shoes. (P.S., running shoes are different than training shoes—did you know?) Below I’ve compiled some options, including the official New Balance windbreaker of the TCS Marathon, which is making its internet debut today, that can help to keep you dry and moving forward. While temps are certainly about to dip, none of this gear is meant to keep you particularly warm (aside perhaps from the vest), so you can add layers and take
This month’s super-emotional full moon is in Pisces—here’s what each sign can expect
September 13, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC Pull up Lana Del Rey’s new album and prepare to play it on repeat, because today is the day of the September full moon, and it’s happening in Pisces. So basically, get ready to feel all of your feelings. “This is the sign of spiritual insights, intuition, and supernatural phenomenon,” Rachel Lang, intuitive astrologer and healer, says. She adds that Pisces is counterbalanced by Virgo, “the sign of details, discernment, and order,” which is currently direct. This combo may have you finding a balance between spiritual and practical. “You could have profound insights and realizations. Then, you will need to find ways to ground those spiritual revelations in the very practical here and now,” she says. This is also a time when your decision-making processes may feel unclear, due to configuration between Jupiter, Mars, and Neptune. “You may not see things clearly. Balance hope with reason, faith with practicality.” So if you feel the urge to stay in and listen to really dramatic ’80s power ballads tonight while sitting on your floor feeling your feelings and doing a face mask, honor that. Lang says this is a full moon for self care, whatever that looks like for you. “The moon in Pisces urges you to heal some aspect of your life, physically, spiritually, or emotionally. Emotions could surface, but they should be sensed and felt—and not suppressed,” she says. The moon in Pisces also encourages you to access your creativity. “Creative outlets help

What it’s *really* like to get a $2,000 facial treatment
September 13, 2019 at 01:01PM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmXa5V2KkJE] Close your eyes and imagine getting a $2,000 facial. Are you envisioning your skin being scrubbed with tiny crystals? The most extra LED light setup? Face masks and chemical peels and gadgets galore? Yep, that’s pretty accurate, at least in senior video producer Ella Dove’s experience in Well+Good’s latest episode of What the Wellness. As Dove waltzes into New York Dermatology Group’s (chic AF) clinic on Fifth Avenue in New York City, she prepares to try out the $2,000 “runway” facial (yeah, it even has a fancy name) right before our very eyes to see what the fuss is about and if it’s actually worth the hefty price tag. “This is the most outlandish episode I’ve been a part of,” she says, right before she gets her complexion scrubbed clean of gunk, zapped with high-tech lasers, exfoliated on multiple levels, and plumped and toned with radiofrequency and LED light therapy. During the 90-minute skin-enhancing extravaganza, you get to witness just what happens to your skin when it gets some of the techiest, ingredient-savvy love around. “This is the crème de la crème of what dermatology and technology have to offer,” says Dove by the end of the facial. It’s true—NYDG’s treatment is all about utilizing the latest advancements in skin technology so that your skin truly leaves looking out-of-this-world radiant. How does Dove’s complexion look once it’s over? Is this extra-level facial actually worth it? Watch the video to see what true
