Green Goddess Dressing Recipe
May 17, 2020 at 10:00AM The ultimate zesty and refreshing sauce, this green goddess dressing recipe will become a quick favorite to top onto salads, bowls or even used as a dip! Easily customizable and made with just a few simple ingredients. It dawned on me the other day as I was whipping up yet another bowl recipe that I’ve never shared my classic green goddess dressing recipe. This sauce is pretty much second nature to me. I just throw everything in the blender and hope for the best. Without fail this green goddess dressing always seems to work out. It struck me that sometimes I go 10 steps ahead when it comes to cooking instead of sharing the classics. I’ve shared plenty of bowl recipes (and many more to come!) but sometimes what you really need is a delicious dressing recipe to top onto whatever you have – recipe or not! What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. I oftentimes make it when I notice some of my herbs on their way out. I toss them in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and BAM it gives them new life! It’s also super versatile and can be […] The post Green Goddess Dressing Recipe appeared first on The Healthy Maven. Continue Reading… Author Davida Lederle | Thehealthymaven Selected by CWC
23 Sports Bras That Are As Supportive As They Are Comfortable
May 17, 2020 at 07:00AM I’m back, once again, to talk to you about boobs. But this time, I’m here to chat sports bras. Whether you’re someone who exercised regularly pre-pandemic or have now found you need to take on more exercise since lockdown, there’s one thing I’m sure of: finding a decent sports bra is essential. I have been a keen runner for about seven years and have always found that no matter what cup size I’ve been, a sports bra to hold you in place is vital for comfort. While I also, sporadically, do yoga, I still find that support is needed during less vigorous exercise. What I’m saying is that I’m a sports bra evangelist. But there is confusion about what kind of sports bra you should go for. I know in the past I was told that you should go for a size smaller than you’d usually take. Friends tell me they find them uncomfortable and don’t like wearing them. So, naturally, it made sense to ask a professional about this. I spoke to John Lewis & Partners about what they’d recommend and they gave me a few tips on what to look out for. What material do you need in a really great sports bra? There is no specific fabric to look out for however sports bras need to be made out of a breathable moisture wicking fabric so look out for those keywords. Some will be treated with an anti microbial finish so when
I Have Sensitive Skin, and These Are the Hardworking Products I Swear By
May 17, 2020 at 06:30AM Having sensitive skin isn’t easy for anybody. However, as a beauty editor who is constantly chopping and changing her routine in order to try new products, it’s exceptionally difficult. Receiving news of a new skincare launch is a bit like a game of roulette for me. You see, if a product contains note-worthy amounts of retinol, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids, essential oils or fragrance, you better believe my skin is going to have something to say about it. The difficult thing about coming to terms with such truths is that I really do want to reap the benefits from such wonderful ingredients. But at what cost? While using potent retinol or vitamin C will help in reversing and preventing signs of ageing, the chances are they will leave my skin red, sore, dry and usually susceptible to breakouts too. And it would seem I am not alone in this. My DMs on Instagram are full of people asking what they can do about their sensitive skin. So considering I am no skin expert, in a bid to make sense of our sensitive-skin nightmares, I reached out to someone that is a little more in the know. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about what your sensitivity might mean and to shop all of the sensitive-skin heroes I swear by. Those that deal with sensitivity will know the symptoms all too well, however, One Aesthetics Studio’s Jonquille Chantrey, surgeon and international beauty lecturer warns, “Most people that believe they have sensitive skin, in fact
30 Celebs and Fashion Girls Who Are Making Me Want to Chop Off All My Hair
May 17, 2020 at 06:30AM When it comes to my hair, I tend to fluctuate between two lengths: just above my shoulder or just above my boobs (both technical terms). Yet there always comes a time with both lengths when I start to feel like I want to either chop it all off and start again or indulge my inner Rapunzel and grow it out super long. Right about now, I’m at the chopping-it-all-off stage, mainly down to the fact that I’m seeing cool, short hairstyles pretty much everywhere I look and I know I can’t get it right now. Yes, short hair is definitely trending, and I want in. However, unless I’m actually prepared to cut it myself (I’m not), for now, I think it’s best I simply garner some expert advice on potential styles. “Short hairstyles are on-trend at the moment,” confirmed Neil Barton, Goldwell ambassador and owner of Neil Barton Hairdressing. “Other than the bob and the pixie cut, there are a few other short hairstyles, and this includes the lob—perfect for those who can’t decide whether to keep their length or go shorter. Another short hairstyle that I love is the buzz cut.” If you’re also toying with the idea of going for the chop after all the stay-at-home orders are over, I’ve rounded up some of the best short-hair inspiration around for you to feast your eyes on. Whether you’re dreaming of a brunette blunt bob or a soft blonde bob, there’s a style out there for you. Similarly, if you have hit a certain age and
21 Outfits I Have Really Loved This Week
May 17, 2020 at 06:13AM While this certainly isn’t the way any of us expected spring 2020 to unfold, I take comfort in the fact that, together, we’re all making significant efforts to work from home where we are able to and remain indoors. But that doesn’t mean you need to succumb to wearing your pyjamas 24/7. I recommend you certainly make the most of it, but once you’re keen to start wearing proper clothes again, turn your attention back to this article. I’ve been keeping a close eye on what some of my favourite influencers have been wearing while in their homes over the last week, and they’re dressing with the same chic aplomb I’ve come to expect—albeit sans shoes much of the time. And the best part is you likely already own the items you need to re-create every look that’s set to follow. From chic co-ords and bright midi dresses to statement blouses and sharp tailoring, keep scrolling to see the best outfits on the ‘gram right now.

This Cult Dress Brand Also Happens to Be Very Sustainable
May 17, 2020 at 06:07AM When talking about sustainable brands, it’s hard to bypass Reformation. After all, the label’s slogan is “Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. We’re #2.” As a brand, Reformation has been a go-to for the style set for years, and although it is no longer the new label on the block, the brand has managed to retain its buzz. Proving exactly that, Reformation’s dresses were named among the top 10 in Lyst’s Conscious Fashion most-wanted items last month. According to the fashion database, the brand’s dresses garnered an impressive 70,000 searches over the last year, with demand for the label growing 41% year-on-year. Evidently, Lyst is not the only site that has noticed an increase in desire for Reformation dresses, as luxury designer resale site Vestiaire Collective has seen even more impressive statistics. According to Vestiaire Collective, there has been a 131% increase in searches for the brand over the last six months. Now, you can’t argue with those figures. With a transparent ethos and a commitment to remaining both carbon neutral and water neutral (the brand has partnered with a water restoration program to restore the water it uses, balancing out its water footprint), it’s little wonder Reformation has gained a fashionable fan base of sustainably minded customers. Of course, it helps that its products speak for themselves with trend-led dresses created in flattering silhouettes and of-the-moment prints. We imagine Reformation will only continue to go from strength to strength. Keep scrolling to shop new and resale Reformation dresses. Next up, the
5 Items Our Editors Would Never Buy From Zara
May 17, 2020 at 06:02AM Hold up—there are actually items Who What Wear UK editors won’t buy from Zara? I know—we can barely believe it ourselves, but it’s true, and today we’re here to share exactly what we prefer not to buy from the fast-fashion retailer. While the “don’t-buy” lists are significantly shorter than the “must-buy” lists, the reasoning behind each editor’s answer is worth hearing out. Slip Into Style’s Ellie wears a polka-dot Zara dress. Now, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t be purchasing these things from Zara. (Heck, some of the items our editors would rather not buy might be your favourite Zara section, and that’s okay.) In this situation, there’s no right or wrong answer, because at the end of the day, you know we all have an unhealthy obsession with the brand, so who are we to judge? We just thought it would be interesting to find out what these knowledgeable editors steer clear of when it comes to shopping at Zara, in addition to the items they’re eyeing at this exact moment. Read on to find out which items our Who What Wear UK editors would never buy from Zara, plus the items currently on their radar. “I don’t buy trousers from Zara, as they never fit me! I’m a size 12, and unless they’re stretchy or feature an elastic waistband, it’s a no-go. Although I love the styles on offer, even the size L doesn’t seem to work for me, so rather than make myself feel fed-up, I’ve just
4 French Women On the Only Anti-Ageing Products They Trust
May 17, 2020 at 06:00AM I’m going to save you the preamble of why we love French women and just cut to the chase: they do everything so effortlessly. And, as if their flair for style wasn’t enough, they also know how to look after their skin well. Mais bien sûr. I’ve read plenty of pieces over the years about how French women do everything they can to ensure their skin is as glowing as possible, they don’t wear too much makeup, and they invest in anti-ageing skincare much earlier than us across the channel. But is that true? I decided to get in touch with four French women who I admire and ask them what’s really behind great skin. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know… “French girls are really interested in skincare and it starts early. In terms of starting anti-ageing products in your 20s—it all depends on your skin but why not? The product that all French women use religiously, however, is moisturiser. I swear by Tata Harper, BioEffect and Esthederm.” “My mother always told me, ever since I was young, to always hydrate and nourish my skin. And drink lots of water to keep my skin plump and shiny.” “I don’t really use anti-ageing products— usually I just wash my face and I protect my skin from the UV and pollution in the morning. Then at night I apply Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair—It’s my go-to product. I feel like French women are becoming more and more careful about the
20 of the Best Candles to Make Your Home Feel Like a Spa
May 17, 2020 at 06:00AM Let’s be honest: If there was ever a time for bringing a little extra zen into our households, it’s probably now. When we asked what you wanted to read about at the moment, the answers we heard back again and again revolved around home comforts—simple ways to bring a bit of normality to your routine. (This is in addition to great loungewear, chic WFH outfits and the best at-home beauty tips, of course.) So we put our heads together and thought of the simplest home-comforts team Who What Wear kept coming back to: a great-smelling candle. It’s the little things, right? When it’s difficult to separate your work and home spaces or switch off your mind when you need to, something like lighting your favourite candle can be one of the easiest ways to change the vibe of a room and get you to that happy place. We all have our little routines—whether it’s surrounding a daily bubble bath or doing an at-home yoga session—and after you’ve switched off your laptop or TV after a long day, lighting a candle goes a long way in accessing that much-needed self-care moment. We thought, then, that we’d round up the best-smelling, calm-inducing candles out there. Some are cult fragrances that will make you feel like you’re in your favourite spa immediately (hello, Diptyque Baies) and some are our insider favourites that smell way more expensive than their high-street price tags.
