The best mom swimsuits: my top picks
June 15, 2020 at 11:21AM Sharing my favorite mom swimsuits that are flattering, not too skimpy, and functional! Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope that you enjoyed a relaxing weekend. The Pilot was out of town, so it was just me and the crew. Thankfully, the local fire has not spread too far into the foothills communities, so we’re still on watch. We’ve continued our routine of lazy mornings – I’ve been making the girls pancakes, waffles, or French toast pretty much every day – and afternoons at the pool. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE POOL. It’s been saving us over the past month since it’s been super hot here in Tucson and we’re not able to go to many of our favorite indoor spots yet. (Tucson is reverse hibernation. We have good outdoor weather in the winter, and stay indoors or swim during the summer.) While we were lounging at the pool, I pondering mom swimsuits and how difficult they are to find. When I find one I love, it’s a huge deal. (I’m pretty sure the shorts tan is permanent now lol.) What makes an awesome mom swimsuit? A winner of a mom swimsuit needs to be comfortable and flattering, but also has to rank high on the functional front. It has to keep everything LOCKED DOWN. For example, I want to be able to play freely with the kiddos without flashing my goodies. A good mom swimsuit keeps everything covered, even while you’re building sand castles, running in the

I Searched All the Sales, and These Are My Favourite Pieces

SYNAPTIC ANATOMY: 6 HERBS + NOOTROPIC PLANTS THAT SUPPORT BRAIN HEALTH
June 15, 2020 at 11:04AM Whether you’re 18 or 98, it’s never too early or too late to tend to your neural ‘forest’. Whether you’re concerned about your memory, are looking to optimize your mental acuity in your career or education, or are just now expanding your health efforts to include the cerebral, there are simple steps you can take to support your mental health and brain function. We asked herbalist Adriana Ayales of Anima Mundi to break down a few basics below… SYNAPTIC ANATOMY Although I’m not certainly not a neuroscientist myself, as an herbalist I’m obsessed with the subject and I study quite intensively from many leading neuroscientists that are pulsating very insightful and cutting-edge studies on the mysteries of brain and consciousness. Although this subject is very deep and wide, I’ll do a tiny intro for those of you that are looking to immerse yourself in the field. Synapses are the electric responses that move lightning fast across the neural network. Memory and cognition are just two of the many functions within the neural. Neuroscience has discovered that some synapses move faster than the speed of light when certain brain waves are in effect, like gamma waves. Everyone has gamma brainwave activity, but the number of gamma waves produced varies. People with very high levels of gamma activity are exceptionally intelligent, compassionate, have strong self-control and corresponds to a state of peak performance. Neuroscientists believe that people can train themselves to produce more of the gamma frequency,
The New Restaurant Etiquette: 6 Things To Know Before Dining Out Again
June 15, 2020 at 10:55AM This week in L.A., restaurants have finally re-opened after months of government-ordered closures — with restrictions. While we can’t wait to head to our favorite coffee shops, cafes and evening hot spots again, the rules of dining have changed. According to one of our favorite Venice restauranteurs, Hayley Feldman of Chez Tex, here are a few things you should know before heading out… make a reservation. Although most restaurants are still accepting walk-ins, most reservation platforms allow you to choose where you sit in the restaurant (for example, if there is outdoor seating). Be aware, some restaurants will only accept reservations as they plan for new limited dining spaces. Formal reservations can also help restaurants to track any potential / future outbreaks. Wear a mask. You’re probably wondering how you’re supposed to eat and drink while wearing a mask! Safe restaurants are requiring masks upon arrival, departure, and for bathroom breaks, but when seated at your table, it’s not necessary to wear your mask. Always bring a mask if you’re planning to eat out — even if it’s just to grab a coffee or glass of wine. Without one, you risk being turned away. Keep it intimate. Most restaurants are limiting the number of guests allowed to dine in. Keep your party size small (2-4 people), so as to limit exposure and guarantee you spot at a table without any trouble. New table manners. You might notice that your share plates and utensils aren’t changed
The One Haircare Product We Can All Benefit From Using
June 15, 2020 at 06:30AM Much like face oils, hair oils also have the power to divide beauty buffs far and wide. While some love the nourishing, intensely moisturising properties of hair oils, others detest their weighty, greasy nature. However, unlike face oils, when it comes to expert opinion, general consensus is that, actually, adding a hair oil into your routine can only make things better, you just need to know how to use them. As someone that has very fine, limp hair, I have avoided hair oils for as long as I can remember. Sure, I like the way that they leave my bleached ends feeling silky smooth, but something about adding a greasy formula to my grease-prone lengths has always felt counter-intuitive. Having said that, considering that (as a result of lockdown) I haven’t had my hair cut or coloured in nearly six months, my hair is crying out for some nourishment. After putting out a cry for help on my Instagram, I was inundated with different hair oil recommendations. Literally willing to try anything to add some life back into my straw-like ends, for the first time in my life I considered adding a hair oil to my routine. But first, I wanted to reach out to those most in the know to make sure I was making the right decision. “Hair oils help to seal the hair cuticle, laying it flat and adding smoothness and shine. Many oils contain fatty acids, which replace the lipids in damaged
