Here’s what your go-to snack should be, according to your zodiac sign

November 12, 2019 at 02:00PM by CWC You might have already turned to your zodiac for insight into a stress relief technique that works best for your personality or the type of partner you’re most likely to be compatible with. But your horoscope and food go together like…well, like Castor and Pollux. (Geminis, you got that one, right?) Just knowing your sun sign can help you figure out what snacks will make you truly feel fed—as in on a deep, spiritual level. Everybody knows that reaching for a handful of nuts is healthier than a candy bar, but let’s be real here: If your snack choice doesn’t satisfy you emotionally as well as physically, you’re going to be rummaging through your pantry again before your next legit meal. That’s where the newly released Your Astrological Cookbook by Catherine Urban comes in. Each astrological sign has a dedicated chapter and over a dozen recipes spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and drinks. Keep reading to get an (ahem) taste of her new cookbook, with tips from the book on the types of foods that work best for each sign when it comes to finding something to nosh on between meals.     Scroll down to see what to keep in mind when whipping up a snack, based on your zodiac sign.

I went to a toe reader to get insight about my life path—and the results were totally on point

November 12, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC “You have really nice toes. To be honest, I don’t see a lot of toes like these.” I raise an eyebrow when Angela Wieland tells me this, because I’ve never considered my feet to be even a little bit attractive. But if I’m going to take this type of compliment from anyone, it’d be from Wieland. As the Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico‘s resident toe reader (which is kind of like a palm reader, but with a strict, below-the-ankles focus on things like toe length meaning), Wieland sees dozen of digits every week—maybe more than anyone other than a podiatrist or a foot-modeling agent. When Wieland seeks to find symbolism in a given foot, she looks at toe length meaning in addition to size, straightness, and relationship to other toes, and combines this intel with her own intuition to give clients insight into their life path. Basically, she says, she uses toes like other readers use tarot cards or lines on a hand. The main distinction is that she doesn’t give future predictions, meaning the length of your third toe won’t distill intel, like, say, how many kids you’re going to have. Rather, all of the information Wieland supplies is rooted in the past and present. “I give you a snapshot of where you are right now based on where you’ve been,” she says. “It’s a summary of your belief systems, your upbringing, and the stories you’ve told yourself.” There’s also an
