My New Favorite Outfit Combo Is a Knit Dress + Slides, and It’s Easier Than Sweats
June 16, 2020 at 10:20PM “What’s easier than throwing on sweats and a tank top?” you probably think to yourself every morning when you’re getting dressed to work from home. But personally, I think slipping into a knit dress, whether ribbed, marled, or with a touch of metallic threading, is even more effortless – and easily more thrilling. When I add on a few layered necklaces and a headband, I’m ready as ever for a Zoom call, and I also feel good. The idea of a knit tank dress, or maybe one with sleeves if the AC is on, reminds me of a vacation – these can practically double as swim cover-ups, after all. But how will I complete the look if I need to run a quick errand or take a social-distancing walk around the block? Slides! Staying on brand with the whole “effortless” vibe, I like to keep it chic with a flat and let my toes breathe. What’s more, I’ve been seeing this specific outfit pop up everywhere, each time translated perfectly for the wearer and their personality. Some stick to neutrals, some opt for bursts of color (think: a tangerine dress and blue slides or an embellished shoe with a bold colored jacket that draws attention to your footwear). Scroll through for a full roundup of inspiration here, and shop my favorite pieces that will assist you in mastering this combination for the summer.

The Truth About Oil Pulling: Why It’s Easier Than You Think + How To Do It Right
June 16, 2020 at 08:00PM According to registered Ayurvedic Practitioner and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, Julie Bernier if you’ve caught on to the health practice of oil-pulling recently, it’s possible you’re doing it wrong. The good news is that Julie’s perspective on the daily ayurvedic practice makes the healthy habit easier — and faster! — than some of us may have assumed. It’s been thousands of years since the ancient ayurvedic sages first recommended oil pulling as part of a health-promoting daily routine. When the mainstream wellness scene picked up on it a few years ago, it blew up, and with that came a lot of misinformation. Oil pulling is not what most people think it is; here’s everything you need to know about the real oil pulling. I did a little google search and this is the general oil pulling consensus: put a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes. This will supposedly whiten teeth, extract toxins, and cure pretty much any disease you can think of. There are reports of oil pulling causing headaches, TMJ, and even vomiting. Oh dear! In ayurveda, medicine is only that which does not cause another problem in the body. Which means that this kind of oil pulling is not correct. And it’s not at all what’s recommended in the original ayurvedic texts. Ayurveda, the holistic system of healing from ancient India, described with immense precision the do’s and dont’s of all things health and wellbeing. Ayurveda is
