I tried Nike’s 6-pocket sports bra, and it’s the best thing since avocado toast
July 17, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC My athleticwear drawer can be broken down into three categories: the beloved items I wear the second they get out of the dryer, the second string sports bras and shorts I kinda like, and the “I really need to do my laundry“-sportswear that’s riddled with holes from too much mileage. After a few runs of testing one of Nike’s “Women’s Pocket Medium Support” bra, I’ve determined that the creation of a fourth category is in order, because—listen—I love this $40 buy so much, I can’t stand to let it out of my sight. The six pockets in this sports bra make it pure, sweat-proof magic. Gone are the days when you need to strap a running band to your arm or shove your keys, phone, and wallet into the sweaty crevice between your boobs. Now, like a mutant kangaroo (but, like, a cute one), you have a place to store all. the. things. ad_intervals[‘407301_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘407301_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); In case I haven’t harped enough on the mystical quality of this bra, consider this: I’ve owned it for three whole weeks now and still haven’t discovered the very last pocket. The entire waste band of the bra is one, there are three mesh options—on the left, right, and back—and one more in the rear. Perhaps the sixth pocket is like the room of requirement of pockets, and it only shows up when you really, really need
Asking for a friend: Does being a no-person make you a bad person?
July 17, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Saying yes to everything is connected to a lot of widely held and generally very positive traits: bubbly, vivacious, adventurous, and present, to name a few. These “take every opportunity that life presents you” people are known as go-getters who are likely to nod at every invitation and accept every little task presented to them. I respect these people to a degree, but I’m certainly not one of them. I’ve always felt myself to be a hard-and-fast no-person; someone defined by the opposite traits of a yes-person…i.e., a salty, disagreeable curmudgeon. And, sure, that description does kind of track for me at times—but it’s not exhaustive of everything I am. Since I’m not alone as a discerning, realistic, rationalist no-person who doesn’t like to bite off more than she can chew, I’m calling for a total rebrand for the no-people of the world. I contend that we’re good people who have great stuff to offer as the yin to the yes-people yang, after all. So, let’s get to the bottom of what makes yes-people and no-people who they are. ad_intervals[‘407910_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘407910_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); Being a no-person = being an authentic person From a business perspective, the classic yes-man archetype is someone who ceaselessly agrees with their superior. Whether your boss is awesome or toxic, being chronically agreeable can lead to bad business. Research shows that groupthink routinely leads to bad decisions, so deferring to
How to use your air fryer to get a healthy dinner on the table tonight
July 17, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC If you’re committed to eating healthy but can’t imagine a life without chips and fries (seriously, that sounds terrible), then you’ve likely already discovered the miracle that is the air fryer. It’s a clutch kitchen tool for creating snacks that satisfy your hankering for a crunchy snack—without using a ton of oil. But while the recipes for kale chips and onion rings are definitely appreciated, you’re not using your air fryer to its full potential if you stop there. You can use the kitchen tool to prep a healthy dinner, too. One Reddit user shares that he uses the air fryer to make hard boiled eggs for egg-based dishes (oh hi, keto eaters), such as egg salad sandwiches or Cobb salads. 5 healthy air fryer dinners that are easy to make Photo: Natasha’s Kitchen 1. Air fryer chicken wings Baked chicken is good and all, but sometimes you just want to bite into something crispy, am I right? Use your air fryer to make these “fried” chicken wings and round it out with a bed of veggies for a complete meal. This recipe uses garlic and pepper for seasoning proving you really don’t need much to punch up a chicken dish. ad_intervals[‘408459_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘408459_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Photo: Noble Pig 2.

Meet Wave, the new techy, music-focused innovation that’s making meditation cooler than ever
July 16, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC I’ve never been big into meditating; in fact, for years I’ve tried and failed to become a regular meditator. It’s just never stuck…until now, that is. The very first meditation form that I’m actually into and would actually use just launched, and I’d venture to say that it’s going to change the way many view the wellness practice. Meet Wave, the experience that blends standard meditation with an immersive, modern-day twist of music, the sense of touch, and technology. The product comes from Mason Levey and Brad Warsh, aka the masterminds behind hip-hop yoga studio Y7 (which, funny enough, got me really into yoga when I wasn’t—at all—before). Not totally dissimilar to their innovative take on yoga, the duo’s intention with Wave is to provide an experience that you can feel and contribute to you being able to use your mind to its maximum potential. “We wanted to make yoga really fun and accessible, and we got people there with music, and then they realized the other benefits like mindfulness,” Levey tells me of how Y7 came to be. “So we thought, ‘How do we get this idea of mindfulness and its benefits to as many people as fast as possible?’ Nothing ever resonated with me in meditation, and a lot of people view it as a chore. So we wanted to make it something enjoyable, something you look forward to doing, and shift the whole perspective.” ad_intervals[‘408265_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready)
Brands are trying to make ‘healthy’ energy drinks a thing—but this expert isn’t totally convinced
July 16, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Energy drinks have traditionally been seen as the beverage version of whipping out a cigarette—you just don’t expect them among the healthy, yoga-doing, green-juice-sipping wellness set. So you’ll understand my surprise at seeing a crop of new energy drinks marketing themselves as better-for-you options. These new options tout natural, herbal benefits, and are enriched with electrolytes, B vitamins, and other science-backed ingredients. The latest on the market is 7-Eleven’s Quake, which has “electrolytes, creatine, COQ10 and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs),” according to a press release. That ingredient list, at face value, sounds a lot like what’s being added into souped-up protein powders and nootropic supplements. Which begs the question: Can energy drinks ever double as health tonics? How brands are switching their energy-boosting ingredients While in years past, energy drinks consisted primarily of carbonated water, artificial colors, and a ton of caffeine, more brands are incorporating herbs into their beverages for an energy boost. MatchaBar’s Hustle, for example, using ceremonial grade matcha and green tea extract, while Mati uses organic dried guayusa leaves. ad_intervals[‘407282_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘407282_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Registered dietitian and performance nutrition expert Shawn Wells, RD, is a major energy drink skeptic, but he does say he prefers these herbal caffeine sources over synthetic caffeine. “The vast majority of energy drinks use synthetic caffeine, which isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s pure caffeine,” he says, adding that it’s cheap and readily available. “Some brands use
