We pay our respects to you, oh soft and squishy couch, for allowing us to sink into you, and be comforted through our the 600th(?) hour of Netflix.

Every hour I get a little buzz on my fitness watch: time to move. Most of the time I take it as a little reminder to take a snack break or begin my daily internal dialogue of “when was the last time you drank water?” But admittedly, there are times when I hit “dismiss” and

Gone shopping lately? It seems like cannabidiol, or CBD, is in everything. One POPSUGAR contributor likes to describe it as “Mother Nature’s Xanax mixed with ibuprofen” for its anxiety- and pain-relieving properties without the high you get with THC. There is limited research on CBD and specifically how it can impact muscle inflammation, pain, and

Over the past few years, YouTube has exploded with videos aimed at making viewers feel relaxed, tingly, and even sleepy — a sensation known as autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).

Jumping, flexing, and moving all around is hard enough when you’re taking a HIIT class. The last thing you want to worry about is your clothes chafing, rubbing, or worse — not supporting you. And when it comes to the sports bra you wear for that sweaty workout, it’s about as crucial to get it

If you’re contributing to the spike in alcohol sales since staying home (guilty!), you may have had to fight off a hangover or two. You’ve also probably noticed through trial and error that there is a lot of misinformation when it comes to hangover prevention. Even the college cardinal rule of drinking — liquor before

There’s a reason we love shopping for activewear: we have strong connections to what we wear to work out. No one wants ill-fitting pants that bunch up between the thighs or a sports bra that couldn’t hold up a feather.
