July 11, 2019 at 06:55AM by CWC Say someone asks: “When was the last time you cried?” For me, the answer is almost always approximately three to four hours ago. I’m one of those people who can’t get through a Budweiser commercial (those horses!), let alone an episode of This Is Us without spontaneously bursting into tears. I cry when I’m sad, happy, angry, or embarrassed—the list goes on and on. And, this time of year, even when I’m not crying for emotional reasons, sweat is dripping down my face. Waterproof mascara is usually made with oil, instead of water, making it less likely to smudge than the other stuff out there. According to cosmetic chemist Ginger King, the composition can also contain strong adhesives like polyurethane to coat the lashes and keep the lacquer in place. Admittedly, makeup artists have mixed feelings about the tear-resistant lash coats. Some feel that you can’t get the same length and volume from waterproof mascara as you can from the regular stuff, but according to King that’s actually not quite the case. “When it comes to mascaras, the brush is just as critical as the formula, ” she explains. “You can have the same formula, and denser bristles can give a more volumizing look, while a more separated bristle or formula containing stretching polymers or even fibers will lengthen lashes. So whether a formula is waterproof (or not!) has nothing to do with impacting the functionality of mascaras.” ad_intervals[‘395357_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if

Lululemon’s experiential Chicago store is more proof that one-stop wellness just won’t quit
July 11, 2019 at 06:53AM by CWC When the editors at Well+Good looked into our crystal balls last December in order to name what we were sure would be the white hot, can’t-stop-talking-about-it trends in wellness for 2019, a clear vision of “one-stop wellness” stood out from the haze. New establishments and beloved brands were putting all the elements that encompass “living well”—from exercising, to eating, to inspired co-working—under one roof. On Thursday, Lululemon proved that this trend is only gaining ground as we cruise into the back half of 2019 by opening its first “experiential” store in Chicago’s Lincoln Park. Lululemon’s two-level, 20,000-square-foot store (its largest brick-and-mortar location to date) is, according to Celeste Burgoyne, Lululemon’s executive vice president of the Americas and global guest innovation, “the physical manifestation of Lululemon’s values.” “We’re excited to have [the store] open because we believe it expresses our DNA in such a beautiful way,” she says. “The ‘SweatLife’ is our overarching word for the belief that our full potential can be ignited when we take care of our bodies, take care of our minds, and create connection points.” ad_intervals[‘407011_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘407011_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); As Burgoyne points out, one-stop wellness fills the need for spaces where healthy living meets convenience. When all your go-tos share an address, you cut out the commute between barre class, meditation, and nutrition. “With so many different offerings in the health and wellness space, people find themselves running around town and
6 healthy slushie recipes that are way better than a 7-Eleven Slurpee
July 11, 2019 at 06:52AM by CWC Today is July 11—the day 7-Eleven celebrates annually with free Slurpees for all. Now, I’ve gotta admit. Those nearly fluorescent drinks are delicious, and I’ve had quite a few in my day. Unfortunately, that great taste comes at a (very sugary) cost. Slurpees from 7-Eleven contain a concoction of artificial colors and up to 27 grams of sugar per 12 oz. cup, with enough high fructose corn syrup to make you wince at first sip. That blue raspberry and wild cherry mix might not be the best choice for your health. But you can easily make your own version at home with slushie recipes that use real fruit… and they’re almost as delicious as the original.

We’re apparently all shopping for shoes wrong, according to foot doctors
July 11, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC When I was younger, I subscribed to the philosophy that high heels were the only acceptable footwear choice—even when it was snowing out. Younger me never could have imagined a world in which I would be wearing sneakers on a first date. (Younger me also never could have imagined a world in which I hadn’t met my soulmate by 28, but here we are.) One of the only good things about living in the year 2019 is that it is now fashionable to wear comfortable shoes, like sneakers and sandals and other footwear sans heels. Regardless, shoe shopping is one of my favorite pastimes, right up there with posting videos of other people’s dogs on my IG stories and obsessing over if my crush is going to text me. And even though I consider myself a pro (in all of these categories), it turns out that there are a few things I’m doing wrong as far as selecting the right footwear goes. For starters: I’m probably wearing the wrong shoe size. And you are too. Dr. Cary Gannon, podiatric surgeon and founder of Aila Cosmetics, says that about 90 percent of the people who come into her office are wearing shoes that are two sizes too small. “As we get older, our feet increase in size in size and shape, and so our foot size increases,” Gannon says. “We continually go and purchase the same size, but we forget that as we age
Checks+Balanced: A 23-year-old making $55,000 prioritizes healthy living for herself—and her dog
July 11, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC Even in a world where questions about menstrual cups and the ins and outs of sex are completely (and blessedly) normal, somehow the ever-ubiquitous use of money remains a touchy subject for many. People want to live their healthiest life ever, but—#realtalk—it can add up. Have you ever wondered how your colleague who makes less than you do (or so you think) can afford to buy a $5 matcha and a $12 chopped salad every day? Or how your friend’s budget allows her to hit up $34 fitness classes three times a week? It’s enough to make anyone want to ask, “Ummm, excuse me. How do you afford that?!?” That’s where Well+Good’s monthly series Checks+Balanced comes in. By lifting the thick, tightly drawn curtain to expose how much women of varying income brackets spend on wellness, we’re spreading transparency and hopefully providing some inspo that’s possible to copy. Because no matter how much you make, it’s possible to cultivate healthy habits that work within your budget. ad_intervals[‘395179_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘395179_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); This month, meet Kristen, a 23-year-old content coordinator living in Oregon who prioritizes wellness—for herself and her dog—while working to maintain a tight budget, split bills down the middle with her husband, and enjoy a few weekly kombuchas. Here, a 23-year-old content coordinator shares how much she spends on wellness. Graphic: Well+Good Creative Kristen, 23, content coordinator, Eugene, Oregon Income: $55,000 per year.

All you need to copy Alison Brie’s workout recovery game is a dropper full of CBD
July 11, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC Watch a single scene of Alison Brie kicking ass as a professional wrestler in GLOW, and one thing is immediately clear: This woman is no damn joke. She takes her IRL training just as seriously as her character, Ruth, does onscreen—and that means finding a way to sweat whenever and wherever she can. “On days that I work out, I feel good—I feel confident I feel strong and calm,” says Brie, who partnered Manitoba Harvest CBD, which she uses as a recovery tool. “On days that I don’t work out I feel a little untethered and a little grouchy, so it’s a real priority to me, no matter where I am.” The first thing she does when she gets to a new location is figure out a plan for how best to stick with her routine—finding a gym, a park, or even a space in her hotel room to get her sweat on. “I’ve done workouts in my trailer at work when I had a 30 minute break. I just feel like, it’s good to find that time. It’s good for your health, and it’s good for your mind,” she says. And while Rise Nation and Peloton are faves when she’s in LA, she turns to Instagram fit pros like Devin Wiggins and Claire P. Thomas when she’s traveling. “I seldom do the exact thing that they’re doing, but I kind of look at it, and mix and match those with with a running
