In 2019, drugstore beauty just keeps getting better and better

January 15, 2019 at 03:39AM by CWC Considering 2019 kicked off with a photo of Beyoncé strolling through Target, I’m calling it early: This year, the drugstore gets its due. More specifically, the drugstore beauty aisle gets its due. As a beauty editor, hundreds of products come across my desk every week—ranging from $2 hair serums to $200 eye creams. And I’ve got to admit: The ones I’ve been most excited about recently are a whole lot closer to $2 than $200, and I have yet to find one that hasn’t lived up to the hype. Least of which to say, drugstores have stepped up their game in a major way, making super effective actives and new textures and formulas more accessible than ever. Last summer, I replaced my entire luxury skin-care routine with one taken straight from the shelves of CVS, and many of the products I was introduced to have, since, become permanent staples in my routine. They’ve also been joined by a whole bunch of exciting new 2019 launches—all of which I’ve had the immense pleasure of testing out, and can say with full confidence that I am taken with. Scroll through for some of the best new drugstore beauty of 2019—all under $20.

There are hydrating and smoothing serums in the inaugural launch, but my personal favorite is the brightening ginger and vitamin

5 places to get a legit pole dancing workout in Houston

3 min read

January 15, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC Even when your city is flush with fitness options for spin, yoga, and even stretching, boutique pole dancing classes are usually more difficult to pin down. But it’s worth putting in the extra work to find one because a pole dancing class can be a transformative form of exercise in more ways than one. Physically, it’ll help strengthen your total body—especially your core, arms, and back. Plus, many fitness studios and pole dancing devotees also champion the modality for its confidence-boosting side effects. And as the boutique fitness bubble expands to more places than New York City and Los Angeles, it’s becoming easier to find pole dancing classes in other places, like Houston, Texas for example. Below are five studios in H-Town to take pole dancing classes—just don’t forget your sports bra and bike shorts. 1. Verticality Fitness This Houston workout studio specializes in all types of pole fitness workouts. There are over 30 workout options that range from beginner to open-level or advanced technique. They also cover a diverse range of pole and pole-related workouts from beginner spin pole classes to Pollet (a combo of pole dancing and ballet). 554 Waugh Drive, Houston, Texas 77019; (713) 677-0100 2. Dance House Fitness Dance House Fitness is one of the only options with more than one location in Houston. The classes are split into two different types—ones that are cardio and sweat focused and those that are choreography focused. 1839 Richmond Ave., Houston, Texas 77098;  (281) 793-3227

While limiting foods that negatively affect gut health is an important piece of the big picture, you also need to stock your kitchen with the foods and beverages you need to support a healthy gut. If you’re on a budget, I have some good news for you: It doesn’t have to be crazy-expensive. Here are some of the cheapest gut-healthy foods. First, let’s talk about gut health. Sometimes my new clients are surprised when I ask a lot of questions about their digestion. It’s important, though, because the state of our gastrointestinal system affects our physical, mental, and even our emotional health in profound ways. When doctors tell you to track and examine your bowel movements, that’s because they provide clues as to how well your GI system is functioning. The gut is also where much of our immune system function happens. The gut-brain connection is also an important part of overall wellness, as the two communicate via the enteric nervous system, a not-so-little “second brain” comprised of two layers of over 100 million nerve cells lining your GI tract all the way from your esophagus to your rectum. Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria in the gut that help digest food, produce vitamins,
