July 24, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC The average soccer player runs seven miles a game (!), and if this summer has made anything clear about the U.S. women’s national soccer team, it’s that they are definitely above average. Imagine if you went into your workouts with as much energy as these women brought to every single World Cup game—you’d crush it! But the key to being able to do that, of course, is fueling your body properly. It’s something team co-captain Megan Rapinoe has down to a science. (Um hi, World Cup winner over here.) “Overall, my philosophy is just to put good things in my body,” she says. “I don’t really eat anything artificial, fake, or that I can’t pronounce. I try to keep it simple and clean.” Whether she’s crafting a meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Rapinoe says she always incorporates lots of fiber-rich veggies, protein, and a serving of carbohydrates, all of which help keep her energy up on and off the field. ad_intervals[‘408676_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘408676_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); A sample eating day: For breakfast, she typically scrambles two eggs with some vegetables like onion or green pepper. Then, she puts the scramble on an English muffin to make a healthy breakfast sandwich. After her workout (during the soccer season, she practices with her team from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and in the off-season she does a cardio workout followed by weight training or Pilates), she has a

For the love all things skin-care, please wash your new clothes before you wear them
July 23, 2019 at 05:01PM by CWC I always try to wash new clothes before I wear them. Mainly, out of fear that other people tried them on first. But sometimes, whether I get lazy or of I’m in a rush, I’ll wear something without giving it a good cleaning first. Apparently, that’s not the best idea. Dermatologists say you should always wash new clothes, because they can contain chemicals that can seriously irritate your skin. “I definitely wash all my clothes before wearing them,” says California-based dermatologist Shirley Chi, MD. “I am really careful to wash my kids’ new clothes, too, since their skin is even more sensitive to irritation from chemicals.” Dr. Chi explains that wearing new clothes without washing them can lead to contact dermatitis, a reaction that occurs when is a your skin is sensitive to, or allergic something that it comes in contact with. Time reports that contact dermatitis can be the result of disperse dyes, which are used to color synthetic clothing materials like polyester and nylon. Dr. Chi says that it can also be caused by preservatives like formaldehyde, which is used to keep clothes wrinkle-free during shipment. ad_intervals[‘410152_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘410152_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); You should wash your clothes (as well as bed sheets and bath towels) at least once to get rid of most of the chemicals. Some chemical residue will linger, but it should dissipate with subsequent washes. If you have sensitive skin, an
How to fall in love—even in the age of ghosting and orbiting—according to the pros
July 23, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Seth and Summer. Jack and Rose. Noah and Ali. Each of us have one pop-culture power couple in mind that made us believe in love—the type of love that would make you stand on a coffee cart and profess it, sacrifice your seat on a life boat (although, HOT TAKE, there was room for both of them on that damn door), or write letters every day for a year. But that smack-ya-in-the-face, wake up with googly eyes and an intense desire to sing Savage Garden kinda love isn’t as easy to come by as TV and the movies make it look. Rather, if you’re constantly saying to yourself “I want to fall in love,” you first need to be open to receiving it. And, lemme tell ya, that isn’t so easy. In fact, at times—especially in the age of ghosting, orbiting, cloaking, etc., etc., etc., it can feel downright impossible. So for the sake of my own single soul (and the others out there who are also Googling “I want to fall in love” 3 to 15 times a week), I chatted with two relationship experts about how to fall in love—and, most importantly, how to open your cold, cynical heart to letting it happen. ad_intervals[‘409352_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘409352_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); If you can’t stop saying “I want to fall in love,” check out the 6 tips below from relationship experts. 1.

Spice up any healthy meal with this low-sugar Hawaiian take on sriracha
July 23, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC I could tell you about the killer coconut ice cream I discovered on Maui’s Road to Hāna—or the sugar-crusted banana bread, hand-blended orange chocolate, freshly-caught fish, or variety of lilikoi (AKA passionfruit)-spiked foods devoured during my recent long weekend on the island. But instead, I’m writing a love note to a far less Instagrammable Hawaiian food: chili pepper water. I’ll be honest—as someone with a pathetically low spicy-food tolerance, I almost turned down my first taste of chili pepper water when it was offered to me as part of an egg-and-veggie breakfast at the Travaasa Hāna experiential resort. Yes, I was rejecting it for its name alone. (Pepper water? No thanks.) But I’ll be forever grateful for the waitress who insisted I give it a chance, because she’s essentially the matchmaker who set me up with my condiment soulmate. Chili pepper water contains a lot of the same ingredients as sriracha—chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, water, salt—but is much lower in sugar. This is helpful if, like me, your vacation meal plan already involves a lot of sugar. (See the aforementioned coconut ice cream, banana bread, chocolate, and lilikoi everything.) It also looks a lot different than its distant hot sauce cousin. Whereas sriracha is fire-engine red and fairly opaque, chili pepper water is quite literally water infused with its various ingredients. This makes it a lot less spicy than sriracha, but still with the same ability to make just about every meal taste
