June 29, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC There are certain beauty techniques that feel like they require a PhD to get right. Creating the perfect cat-eye flick, for one; applying red lipstick without getting it all over your teeth, for another. And my personal (least) favorite, curling your hair. No matter what type of hair you’ve got, creating the perfect “effortless” beach waves requires a deceptive amount of work. You need to have the right products, technique, and—let’s be honest— a little power from the universe on your side. But the good news is, it is possible to get the perfect beach waves of your California dreams… it just might take some work, and a whole lotta hair product. Read on for best practices, care of the pros. Understand what your texture means for your curl process First things first: Everyone’s hair reacts to a curling iron differently, and it all has to do with your history. “Virgin [un-dyed] hair can have a harder time curling and the temperature needs to adjusted based on how well the hair holds the curl,” explains Beachwaver founder Sarah Potempa. “Color-treated hair tends to be easier to curl, so you can start off with lower heat setting and adjust accordingly.” ad_intervals[‘402864_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘402864_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Eugene Toye, senior celebrity hairstylist at Rita Hazan Salon, adds that the easiest type of hair to curl is that which has has a natural curl pattern and more moisture, while

The salad of the summer is quinoa and arugula, according to GrubHub,
June 28, 2019 at 04:01PM by CWC Long gone are the days of having to stand in line somewhere to order a healthy meal. Now, you can grab your phone and do it without leaving your couch—let alone having to talk to someone. With nothing but a few taps, your food will be sent straight to your door. And according to new data, a hearty plant-based salad might be the way to go. In a recent report from Grubhub analyzing over half a million orders placed via the platform, a couple different key findings stood out. First of all, the trendiest foods are still vegan and vegetarian options. Then as for the company’s forecast of what’s expected to be one of the buzziest menu items this summer, that’s none other than a simple—yet satisfying!—quinoa and arugula salad. There are plenty of things to love about this combo. It not only hits the spot with your appetite, but it also offers quite the nutritional punch. “Arugula is one of my favorite greens because it has a peppery bite to it,” says Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition. “Quinoa is a terrific addition, especially for vegetarians and vegans. It’s one of the few plant-based foods that’s a complete protein.” Combine three cups of the tart green with one cup of quinoa for 10 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber as well as nutrients like Vitamin C and potassium. ad_intervals[‘404624_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404624_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);});
Tevas are the only sandal you’ll want to wear to hit your daily 10,000 steps this summer
June 28, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC ICYMI: Tevas are having a moment. Your favorite summer camp sandal is back in a big way. “Wow, Tevas Got Cute,” declared a headline in The New York Times style section last month, and TBH, they’re right. The comfy shoe has seriously stepped up its style game of late, by way of partnerships with brands like Opening Ceremony, Anna Sui, and Outdoor Voices (the last of which sold out long before I could personally get my hands on them, which I am still salty about). Gucci even seemed to use the iconic style as inspiration for their latest shoe collection (which, at $740 a pop, are laughably more expensive than the original version). Just last night at an event, a group of editors and I stood around debating which of the Tevas on the market right now deserve to be deemed “the absolute cutest,” and there are so many options we simply couldn’t decide on a clear winner. In addition to being chic AF (a sentence I truly never thought I would write about Tevas, but am now wholeheartedly on-board with), Tevas also happen to be great for clocking those 10,000 steps. Unlike their foot-unfriendly cousin, the flip-flop, they offer enough support for you to walk around ‘in em all day long… without messing with your feet, back, and body. ad_intervals[‘404540_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404540_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); “When a patient comes in wearing a Teva, I give them
A derm says this drugstore moisturizer is the perfect dupe for La Prairie’s $500+ Skin Caviar
June 28, 2019 at 02:30PM by CWC Out of the entire beauty product encyclopedia that exists in the universe, there are a select few that hold down the fort as the most supreme, elite, expensive, and coveted skin-care finds. I’m talking about the La Mers, La Prairies, and Biologique Recherches of the world. Since I don’t quite have the means to stock up on all of these for the sake of a luxe beauty cabinet (I’m a writer… ), I’m always on the lookout for more affordable dupes. And I’m happy to share my more affordable cult-fave skin-care alternatives with you. So far, we’ve found what’s basically a La Mer cream clone in the aisles of Trader Joe’s for a fraction of the cost (it’s a mere 9 bucks). We’ve also got your back on P50 alternatives that are equally effective acid toners—one of which costs only 15 dollars. Now, I’m on a mission to find a replicate of the all-hailed La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, a facial moisturizer that runs upwards of 500 dollars. ad_intervals[‘404696_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404696_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); Shari Sperling, MD, board-certified dermatologist of Sperling Dermatology, spills the Skin Caviar alternative that you can literally buy at the drugstore. Her pick? Olay Regenerist Nightly Recovery Cream Moisturizer ($30). “While La Prairie’s Skin Caviar is unique in ingredients—and expensive—a great drugstore alternative would be the Olay Regenerist Nightly Recovery Cream Moisturizer,” she tells me. “It’s an incredibly hydrating and potent wrinkle
Can working out at 52 degrees really dial up your workout?
June 28, 2019 at 02:01PM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH8wP9vqY00] Is Brrrn the coolest workout ever? Watch the video. Not gonna lie: I like to look cool while I’m working out. There’s something about mixing and matching my athletic wardrobe that makes any given workout *that* much more satisfying. I learned recently that there’s yet another way to add that cool factor to my workout. Just dial down the temperature to a chilly 50 degrees (no, seriously). On the latest episode of What the Wellness, Well+Good’s video series exploring all things weird and wonderful in the pursuit of well-being, we visited New York City’s Brrrn studio. The 50-minute, low-impact classes at Brrrn will leave you seriously sweaty. ad_intervals[‘404535_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404535_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’);}); } }, 100); Brrrn co-founder Jimmy Martin says the reasons for working out in the cold are many.

What the heck is an epilator? Everything you need to know about the French-girl hair removal method
June 28, 2019 at 12:34PM by CWC I learned many things during the year I studied abroad in France. For example, the expression for missing someone in French is “Tu me manques,” which translates literally as “You are missing from me.” I always thought the turn of phrase was wildly poetic. But I didn’t really understand it on a visceral level until the French TSA confiscated my epilator on my way back to America. Suddenly, I wanted to scream “Tu me manques!” at my lightning fast hair removal tool in the middle of Charles de Gaulle Airport—no matter the sharp looks from my fellow travelers. Just in case you’re new to epilators, the palm-sized devices (invented in the 1980s and popularized by the ’90s) look a whole lot like razors—except they’re electric and make a pretty terrible noise. After you’ve washed your body and exfoliated the desired area, you turn the gizmo on and slowly run it across your skin. Some people like to use baby powder and lotion as they do so, but it’s not “required” per se. ad_intervals[‘404767_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘404767_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); The easy nature of the razor glow-ups are perhaps why they’re a pretty big deal in The City of Lights. Fashion blogger Eva Chen is a fan of them, too. Recently, she shared on one of her Instagram stories that she personally caught epilator fever in the UK—so it must just be an over the pond thing (for
