I don’t care what fashion week says, wearing a low ponytail makes me look like Gaston
February 15, 2019 at 01:56PM by CWC We’re in the midst of the fashion week sprints (just as the catwalk lights in New York dim, they flash on in London)—a time I usually love because of all the fresh wardrobe, makeup, and hair inspo I’m able to absorb. I usually welcome all the haute trends, from bedazzled faces to cozy fleece dresses, with open arms. But this year, I feel personally attacked by one specific look—the low ponytail. It started innocuously enough with Ariana Grande trading in her signature high pony for an elastic secured at the nape of her neck. This, however, wasn’t an isolated incident—the hairstyle then spread like disease across red carpets, street style photos, and runways without discrimination. J. Lo and Camilla Cabello both sported the look at the Grammys, and what felt like a million designers (Ralph Lauren, Cushnie, Christian Siriano, Oscar de la Renta, the list goes on…) sent models down the runway this season with low-riding ponies. Being the trend fiend that I am, I’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks trying to wrestle my hair into this look—and let me tell you, it is not going well. Every single time I move my ponytail to the lower quadrant of my scalp, I look like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast—the animated version.

This one mistake we’re all making during streaming workouts can lead to serious neck pain
February 15, 2019 at 12:16PM by CWC I was streaming a workout yesterday from my mat, and—while struggling through a forearm plank—the instructor said to stop looking at her and to instead focus on a spot on the floor six inches in front of my hands. Whoops. The issue? If you continue to look up at the screen during certain moves, you put yourself at risk for alignment issues. And, worse, neck pain. It’s definitely a thing. I’ve noticed that whenever I’m following an digital workout (AKA practically every single day), I’m always straining to keep my eyes on the instructor. After all, I’m trying my best to imitate their every move. But it turns out you shouldn’t always be looking at them for cues on what to do, particularly when you’re in certain poses that require proper alignment. “Having to look at a screen while working out is difficult because it can throw off your alignment, and it also takes away from your overall bodily awareness,” says Meghan Takacs, Aaptiv trainer. “Working out is essentially a conversation between your brain and your body—you’re the one who tells your body where to go and how to get there, and so before movement becomes a reality, you have to tell your body what to do, not be shown what to do.” That’s (obviously) not to say that you need to quit your workout streaming habit, though—It’s just key to be mindful of your movements and not get too hypnotized by your instructor.
Asking for a friend: What causes really smelly farts? (And how can how can “she” fix it?)
February 15, 2019 at 11:54AM by CWC As the lifestyle guru Shrek once said, “Better out than in.” But seriously, the gastroenterologist I spoke with this morning invoked the green ogre’s words of wisdom about farts. Now, we all know everybody gets a little gassy now and then. But depending on what you’ve had to eat, everyday flatulence (that’s the fancy word for farts) ranges from the mildly stinky to the hideously fetid. “Basically, the first thing to remember is that all flatulence will have a certain amount of odor,” says gastroenterologist Niket Sonpal, MD. Our bodies cannot digest certain materials— compounds like cellulose, high-fiber foods, starches in vegetable products (particularly of the cruciferous variety, like cauliflower and broccoli), meat products, and artificial sugars found in diet sodas or coffee sweeteners. “Sometimes a lot of these products can’t be full digested,” he says, “and this gives rise to something called hydrocarbons.” Hydrocarbons (another technical term for “gas”) have to exit your body somehow, so they do. Dr. Sonpal says it can be useful to think of gas in two categories: normal (you know, quotidian farts) and smellier than usual. “Now if it’s a one-time, room-clearing kind of fart, then that could be usually related to something. It could be a touch of food-poisoning or enteritis,” says Sonpal. In other words, make like Shrek and foster a little bit of self-acceptance toward your flatulence. Or you can cut down on the cruciferous veggies and coffee creamer, if you so choose. “Better out than in.”
I couldn’t get this best-selling $10 mascara to clump if I tried
February 15, 2019 at 11:52AM by CWC The U.K. has given us a lot of things worth obsessing over: The Spice Girls, David Attenborough documentaries, and Harry Styles, to name a few. One other thing to add to the list? No7’s “The Full 360” mascara, AKA my new favorite lash lengthening product. According to the brand, a tube of the mascara sells every nine seconds in the U.K., which is… wild. In the time it’s taken you to read those four sentences, at least two bottles of the stuff has flown off of the shelves. So as a beauty editor who has (literally) made a full time job out of testing the latest and greatest in mascaras, I had to see what the hype was all about. It only took two swipes before I was utterly hooked. The product lengthened my lashes without making them look fake or overdone, which is something I’ve traditionally struggled to find in a mascara. It essentially made them look like their natural selves but better. And a whole lot longer. My boss told me my lashes looked “long and wispy,” which made me feel like the 2019 version of Twiggy, and lemme tell ya: I didn’t hate that. Plus, the curved brush gave my lashes the perfect upward inflection to make me look more awake, which is always greatly appreciated in a product—especially on a Friday morning. The most impressive thing about the No7 mascara, though, is that it doesn’t clump. Like, at all. I
