A body language expert says *this* is the most misunderstood gesture of all time
June 01, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC It’s still wild to me that so much of what we communicate doesn’t actually happen through the spoken word. We can flirt, express our inner-turmoil, and even sabotage a perfectly good date with just the wrong movement. But when it comes to the most notorious body language clue—assuming an arms crossed position—a body language expert says we’ve all been dead wrong in our interpretation. Forming an “X” with your two arms is usually seen as stand-offish, angry, cold, or socially anxious. Body-language expert Patti Wood tells me that, in reality, there at 50 (50!!!) different ways people cross their arms—and not every single one deserves a please-don’t-make-eye-contact-with-me reputation. “The majority of [arms crossed positions] are motivated by an individual’s desire to shut down and/or shut out,” she says. But it’s not true for every variation. “The biggest mistake people make is assuming that all arm crosses are signaling that the person wants to shut you out.” Really, the person may be giving themselves a hug as a way to mollify themselves when many environmental stimuli (like music, lights, passing ambulances, etcetera) are grabbing for their attention at once. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jwUXV4QaTw?start=69] Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro agrees with Wood. “There’s a lot of myths out there,” he tells Wired in a YouTube video. “The one that stands out is, if you cross you arms, that it’s a blocking behavior. That’s just nonsense. Even when you dislike the person in front

We found the very best outdoor essentials to slip on for National Trail Day
June 01, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC Fitting in perfectly with the trend to “better ourselves,” to get more sleep, eat healthy, and prioritize self-care, comes the quest to spend a little more time outdoors. It’s pretty impressive what some fresh air and sunshine can do to our minds, stress levels, and moods. It is also a great way to connect with the environment, which will hopefully inspire us to be kinder to our planet. In an effort to motivate people to just get out, The American Hiking Society has declared June 1 (ahem: right now, thank you very much) “National Trail Day.” The hope is to have people support public lands by pledging to get to their nearest trail and volunteer to leave it cleaner than they found it (we can all raise a sunscreen bottle to that). Because as more-and-more of us are swapping mimosa-fueled brunches for sweat sessions with our friends, it’s a no-brainer that the camaraderie (and relief from competing over the sound level of the table to the left) found on the trail is nearly unrivaled. Not sure what to wear or bring along with you? Check out the list below for some new and exciting essentials for a day of hiking. And then grab a buddy or your whole crew and make plans to hit the happy trails. Check out the American Hiking Organization’s site for a place near you.

The ice cube hack that will make your nail polish dry in under 3 minutes flat
June 01, 2019 at 10:00AM by CWC Getting a manicure is so calming—whether you’re doing it yourself or getting one at the salon, it’s a fab opportunity to zone out while beautifying your nails with whatever hue you like. But all the fun stops once you’ve gotta sit for-e-ver to wait for the nail polish to dry. It’s literally sitting and watching paint dry, but it’s also a necessary evil. If you don’t wait long enough, you’re undoubtedly faced with wrecked fingertips that you just spent all that time getting for yourself. So in the pious pursuit of finding a hack that makes your nail polish dry fast, I’ve finally found the one that works—and all it takes is some ice cubes. “Typically, polish can take up to an hour to fully, fully dry, but you’re in the clear of wet polish after about ten minutes,” says Sarah Gibson Tuttle, CEO and founder of Olive and June, a nail salon and nail polish brand based in California. But the ice cube-in-water hack chops that drying time down exponentially—all you have to do is dunk your wet manicure into the ice water for it to work. “I feel like it works—we like to think that it shocks the polish into setting,” says Gibson Tuttle, who does the trick herself. “I do it because it works for me—but my biggest piece of advice is to do this step when the polish is closer to dry than wet. The closer to wet it
