Body pillows come in all shapes and sizes—and what a time to be alive and sleeping

2 min read

May 22, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC There are two types of sleepers in this world: those who can’t stand throw pillows and those who (as the Black Eyed Peas would say/sing) “just can’t get enough.” I’m a proud member of the latter group. I’ve been on a mission to bedeck my bed in accent pillows, but I simply wasn’t prepared for the 30,000 results that Amazon returned when I searched for the “best body pillows.” They’re not one-size-fits-all anymore, y’all. They now come in donut, C-shape, and a multitude of other forms. At first, my inner monologue went something like: Ridiculous! What’s wrong with the original shape of human-like bedtime paraphernalia? What is this nonsense?! I’ve now warmed up to the idea though. After all, the horseshoe-shaped option could give a gal polyamorous feels in bed. The one that looks like a semicolon basically counts as a second mattress. And don’t even get me started on the one with Steve Harrington’s sweet, sweet face. Sure, each body pillow is more extra than the next. But if you ask me, we all deserve to be a little extra in our pre-bed ritual. Ready to shop some of the best body pillows the internet has to offer? Keep scrolling.

Protein Powder That Doesn’t Taste Like Chalk Exists—Here’s What Happened When the Well+Good Office Tried It

4 min read

May 21, 2019 at 06:30PM by CWC Who loves guzzling down a protein shake post-workout, only to cough out a cloud of chalky dust that leaves your mouth as dry as the Sahara Desert? Spoiler alert: absolutely no one. You don’t deserve all that after cranking out a badass HIIT class, and you don’t have to settle for sub-par powders just to hit your daily protein goal (whether that’s for #gainz or just a snack that won’t leave you hungry 45 minutes later). Terra Origin Collagen-based Powders (which are hitting the beauty aisle in select Target stores this July) check all the boxes of a protein-boosted snack you’ll actually want to drink on the basis of flavor, nutrition, texture, and more. The high-protein, dairy-free powders are made with high-quality bone broth—a natural source of collagen with major gut-health benefits—and come in delish flavors like acai berry, chocolate, strawberry banana, and more. Don’t believe one protein powder can really do it all? The Well+Good office put it to the test—a taste test, that is. Using only almond milk and Terra Origin protein (and a blender), our fellow Well+Gooders sipped on each flavor, then voted on their top three favorites. Drumroll, please. Keep scrolling to see the top 3 flavors of bone broth protein powder the Well+Good office couldn’t get enough of.
