How to appreciate the little things when everyone else is having big life moments
July 02, 2019 at 05:00PM by CWC It feels like everyone I know is buying houses, getting married, going on vacation, and having babies. My life is pretty happy, but it is a nothing season for me, and so by comparison it can feel tough to enjoy the little things that definitely do fill me with joy. I dread talking weekend plans with my co-workers, because while everyone else gets to dish about their beach-weekend getaways and exotic honeymoon preparations and tacked-on trip to their friend’s destination wedding in Europe, I’ve got bupkes. And don’t get me wrong—my musician boyfriend may not be whisking me away to Tuscany, but that doesn’t mean he’s not fantastic. He baked me two key lime pies and a plate of chocolate chip cookies last week just because. And when I’m not subjected to FOMO sustained from hearing about everyone else’s super-cool goings-on, it’s easy to enjoy the little things like this. Because even if all we have going on in our mutual social calendar right now is wide open spaces—and by that I mean zero plans, not a Dixie Chicks concert—we’re still able to make memories. ad_intervals[‘404537_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404537_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); This reality extends to my life outside my relationship, too. For instance, this very morning, I sat in the park and genuinely relished my iced coffee and bagel with cream cheese and avocado. Other times, my Facebook feed is buried in streams of high-gloss wedding
10 sunscreens with zinc that protect your skin from UV rays *and* calm inflammation
July 02, 2019 at 04:02PM by CWC If I could write a love letter to zinc, I would. After a battle of trying to find a sunscreen that protects from the sun’s harmful UV rays without turning my sensitive skin into a pimply, irritated mess, my dermatologist introduced me to zinc oxide. It’s still my go-to years later after everyday use, and I’m not the only one who’s impressed by its long list of benefits. “There are two types of sunscreens: chemical sunscreens and physical sunscreens. And zinc oxide is a physical sunscreen. That means zinc forms a physical barrier on your skin to protect it from harmful UV rays,” says Lana Pinchasov, a dermatology-certified physician’s assistant in New York City. “Zinc oxide has many other health and healing benefits as well. It’s used to help treat inflammation, has also been used to help with acne breakouts (due to its effect on inflammation), it can help treat pigment disorders like melasma, and it can also help moisturize and hydrate the skin, depending on the vehicle it’s in.” ad_intervals[‘405061_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘405061_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); With all the great perks you get from using a sunscreen with zinc oxide, there is one downside. Depending on the type of sunscreen you buy, it can sometimes be super-thick or leave a white film where you apply it. “Luckily, you can now find zinc oxide in a transparent form,” Pinchasov says. It keeps your skin healthy and protected
The 7 best foundations under $15 that you can score at the drugstore
July 02, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC I’ve always been really grateful for the beauty selection at drugstores. There have been way too many instances in my life in which I’ve had to dart directly into the nearest CVS or Duane Reade or whatever to grab an emergency concealer/mascara/lip balm/brow gel… the list goes on. Because you just never know when an impromptu monster zit will decide to show up, or you lose your chapstick and are suddenly empty handed yet in need of something from the shelves immediately. In terms of foundation, I’ve actually been really impressed by the vast array of solid finds that are lurking in the drugstore aisle. A lot of people shy away from getting decent cover-up at a place where you can’t try things on or swatch the color out, but we’ve tapped makeup artists for how to get around that (hint: natural lighting and the inside of your wrist!). First off, many drugstore cosmetics brands have expanded their shade ranges (it’s the Fenty effect, y’all) to match a broader range of skin tones. Which is absolutely key. Then there’s the fact that you can get so many amazing drugstore foundations for less than, like, two days’ worth of oat milk lattes. Behold, our fave drugstore foundations that don’t cost over 15 bucks. ad_intervals[‘403306_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘403306_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Photo: L’Oreal L’Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation, $8 This foundation is almost like a CC cream—it’s got a
‘Intuitive eating’ has been around since the ’70s. Here’s why you should give it a chance
July 02, 2019 at 02:02PM by CWC What is intuitive eating? Watch the video. Intuitive eating is everywhere right now. It’s a way of thinking about food without self-judgment, explains dietitian Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, in the latest episode of Well+Good’s YouTube series You Versus Food. And while the concept is decidedly au courant, it’s been around for decades. The term “intuitive eating” was coined in 1995 by dietitians Evelyn Tribole, MS, RDN, and Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, explains Beckerman. But before it had a name, a similar concept was pioneered by Susie Orbach, PhD, with her 1978 book Fat is a Feminist Issue: The Anti-diet Guide for Women. And author Geneen Roth has been writing on the subject since 1982. That is to say, the idea isn’t brand spanking new. But Beckerman explains why it’s as relevant as ever. Think of intuitive eating as vintage rather than outdated. ad_intervals[‘405501_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘405501_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); “Through the process of intuitive eating, the goal is to understand the difference between physical hunger, the biological urge that tells us that we need an replenishment of nutrients, and emotional hunger, which is driven by hunger and emotional needs,” says Beckerman. Intuitive eating means giving your body what it wants, Beckerman explains. To learn how to do it for yourself, watch the full video (and subscribe to our YouTube channel!).

6 expert-approved tricks to making your hair look thicker and fuller
July 02, 2019 at 12:11PM by CWC Youth is wasted on the young—that is true. And so is good hair and good skin. That’s what I’m particularly salty about. These days, as an adult (or someone who’s very close) I’m always brought straight back to reality whenever I’m styling my hair or pulling it into a ponytail, only to feel how much thinner it is than when I was a kid. The good news, though, my fellow adults? There are cuts and styles that help disguise less density. Hair thinning is inevitable in everyone, but then there are those who just have less hair. That doesn’t mean your hair has to actually look thin or flat, though—so keep scrolling for the professional hair stylist tips on the best hairstyles and haircuts that make thinning hair look thick again. The most volume-boosting haircuts for thinning hair First things first: You can easily chop off your hair to a pro-approved length that magically adds thickness to your strands. “The best haircuts [for thinning or thin] hair are clean, crisp, blunt lines through the perimeter,” says Lindsay Victoria, master stylist at Spoke & Weal Los Angeles. “Even if you would like texture or layering, the stronger line you have through the base of your hair, the stronger your hair appears and feels.” ad_intervals[‘404305_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404305_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); As far as length goes, Giardino prefers the above-the-shoulders look to enhance volume, though you can also go shorter
Ditch the plastic cutlery at your summer BBQs for Target’s new biodegradable tableware
July 02, 2019 at 11:47AM by CWC Ah, summer. When we spend as much time as we can enjoying the great outdoors, while also creating a lot of waste by using single-use plates and utensils at cookouts and picnics. But, Target is here to save us from this paradox. The mega-retailer now carries plant-based, compostable tableware products from the eco-conscious organization World Centric. The collection includes plates made from unbleached plant fibers, such as sugarcane, bamboo or wheat straw (read: not trees); cutlery and cold-liquid cups made from TPLA, a compostable, plant-based plastic; and hot-liquid cups made from FSC-certified paper with a plant-based bio lining. The products are now available online, and at 750 Target stores nationwide, per a press release. Beyond eco-friendly flatwar, World Centric partners with environmental and social organizations working towards a greener, more sustainable planet. The brand donates at least 25 percent of its net profit to support “grassroots global organizations and non-profits dedicated to reducing human suffering.” ad_intervals[‘405607_div-gpt-ad-5443410-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘405607_div-gpt-ad-5443410-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-5443410-3’);}); } }, 100); Learn why “ecowellness” could be the secret to a whole new level of health, and shop these reef-safe sunscreens to help protect the oceans.
