Lesbian and queer bars are closing—will queer fitness classes take their place?
April 09, 2019 at 05:13AM by CWC In urban areas where boutique fitness studios and workout joints are popping up faster than you can say “pass the La Croix,” more and more dedicated LGBTQ+ spaces are becoming extinct. The physical places—bars, clubs, baths—where queer and lesbian folks met, socialized, and fell in love in the ’90s and early ’00s are closing one-by-one, and have been for the past two decades. According to Market Watch, in 2017, only 36 of the 1,357 LGBTQ bars in the world were lesbian bars, and that’s down from 56 in 2014. In New York City, there are only four lesbian bars, and in other big cities like San Francisco, Philadelphia, and New Orleans, there are none. But, as Will Lanier, executive director of The OUT Foundation and founder of OUTWOD puts it: When you’re a minority group—be it sexuality, race, or gender—having a safe, shared space is life-saving. So…what now? Queer wellness spaces and LGBTQ+ fitness communities are emerging in their place. For folks already entrenched in the fitness and wellness scene, this shift from bars-to-barre won’t come as a surprise. We’ve already seen that wellness spaces are replacing the local watering hole en masse for people of all identities. Recently, there’s been an influx of fitness classes and groups created specifically for LGBTQ+ folks. For example, Laughing Lotus in New York City, owned and operated by renowned yogi Dana Flynn, recently launched a Queens and Queers: Fluid Flow yoga class, while OUTWOD hosts a

Serve these delish cauliflower parmesan bites at your next low-key girls night in
April 09, 2019 at 03:30AM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC6CDmY5Vrk] There’s nothing more cathartic than inviting a few of your soul sisters over for a night of casual dining and IRL heart-to-hearts. Add a few homemade-with-love plates to the equation, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate stress-busting dinner party. Lucky for you, we have just the healthy recipe to get the cozy night started—Cauliflower Parmesan Bites—from the queen of spiralized veggies herself, Ali Maffucci. You’ll find the veggie-centric appetizer in the new Well+Good Cookbook, which officially drops on April 16 with 100 easy, tasty recipes, all from wellness luminaries. (And yes, it’s available for preorder now, so glad you asked.) “My inspiration was taking what makes many Italian American dishes so delicious (cheese, basil, and tomato sauce) and applying that to a hearty vegetable to create a snack that’s nostalgic, delicious, and nutritious—AKA, totally well balanced,” says Maffucci, founder of Inspiralized. In other words, these bites will go fast. Watch the video above to see the cheesy bites in action, and preorder The Well+Good Cookbook, stat. Cauliflower Parmesan Bites Makes 6 servings Ingredients Coconut oil spray 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for garnish 1/2 cup almond flour 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp dried oregano 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, plus more for garnish Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 large head cauliflower, broken into florets 1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 2 fresh basil leaves, very thinly
Checks+Balanced: A 27-year-old medical resident in Pittsburgh making $58K prioritizes food and fitness
April 09, 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?!?” Last year, we asked five women with salaries ranging between $30,000 and $250,000 exactly what they spend on wellness, and their responses showed that no matter your income, it’s possible to cultivate healthy habits that work within your budget. So we created Checks+Balanced, a series featuring women in different income brackets who open their wellness-wallet habits, to keep spreading the transparency and hopefully providing some inspo that’s possible to copy.

6 reasons to get on board the broccoli-everything trend
April 09, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC In case you haven’t heard, broccoli is pretty trendy right now. (Sorry, cauliflower, but you finally have some competition.) It tastes good raw, dipped in a zesty dressing, steamed and incorporated into a stir-fry, and yes, ground up and used as pizza crust. What a time to be alive. While you’ve probably been hearing that broccoli is good for you since you were a kid, people don’t often talk about the reasons why. Well, wonder no more. What are the biggest broccoli benefits I should know about? 1. It’s a good source of folate. Broccoli is an excellent source of folate (57 micrograms per cup, AKA 14 percent of your recommended dietary allowance), which contributes to lowering the risk of heart diseases and strokes, treating gum disease, and even supporting hair growth. (It’s also a key nutrient for fetal development.) 2. Broccoli is full of vitamins A, B6, and K. Those little broccoli stalks are good sources of vitamins A, B6, and K. Together, these nutrients help keep the immune system up (vitamin A), keep blood flowing and supporting calcium absorption (vitamin K), and building muscle (vitamin B6). 3. It has a ton of vitamin C. One cup of raw, chopped broccoli has 82 grams of vitamin C—more than what you’d get in a whole orange. So if you’re not a citrus person (or you just need a palate cleanser), consider broccoli your unsung immunity booster. 4. Eating broccoli supports a healthy metabolism. Like
