Most of the time, it’s cool to work in an open office. I feel connected to my coworkers, which is great, but there’s also a problem; if my neighbors are talking about something marginally more interesting than my work, my focus goes out the window. Fifteen minutes go by before I finally look at the
Weight Loss
I find it very easy to get enough protein on a plant-based diet, as long as I’m eating a variety of beans, tofu, nuts, seeds, protein powder, whole grains, almond yogurt, and high-protein plant milk like Ripple. I’ve also found another food that offers a decent amount of protein: nutritional yeast, which vegans agree is
If you struggle with anxiety, you know there’s no quick fix. (It doesn’t matter how many times someone tells you to relax.) But finding things that work for you — outside of therapy and anything else your doctor recommends, of course — doesn’t have to be so challenging. With the surge of podcasts, gaining access
If you’re eating a vegan diet or just want to eat more plant-based foods, but you’re also worried about getting enough protein, stock your pantry, purse, or gym bag with these protein bars.

While emergency contraception is often referred to as the morning-after pill, there are actually two different medications you
If this is the year you made a commitment to yourself to exercise more, here’s some instant inspiration for you. I saw something similar to this in one of my Facebook groups and loved the idea so much, I decided to doodle one for myself! Draw this in your journal or hang it up on
As if laundry day wasn’t dreadful enough, nothing is worse than the instant regret of tweaking your back while lifting your wet bundle from the washer. You’ve finally made an effort to be productive, and what do you get in return? A bad back. That overgrown pile of clothing isn’t the only thing out for
The new year is filled with possibility, but if you suffer from anxiety, a fresh start can also lead you down the path of dwelling on the past. Trust me: I’ve spent way too much time worrying about what I could have done differently. If you want to curb that habit in 2020, these books
I’ve always felt that Fall and the buildup to the holiday season are the best times of year. Starting in September, you get the fresh start of the changing seasons, then the excitement of Halloween and cozy family time over Thanksgiving. It’s all a crescendo to the big finale: the holiday season, which means a
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get back into fitness after a long time away, or to start your fitness journey altogether, let’s talk about your core.

Let’s get one piece of business out of the way: you can’t spot-reduce fat in your arms or from any one area of your body. (Raise your hand if you’ve heard that one before!) “While working out a particular area is beneficial for the muscles, this doesn’t translate to targeted fat loss. Instead, it naturally
The Mediterranean diet is touted time and time again as the best diet out there. It’s not only great for shedding pounds, but it can also improve your gut health and even your brain function. And did we mention it can help you live longer? If you haven’t tried this simple diet yet, it’s time

Ever find yourself scrolling through social media and begin to ponder where it all went wrong? How is so-and-so from high school “finding herself” in a tropical location, while you’re home watching Netflix, dreaming of what could have been? Friend-of-a-friend is showcasing her Sunday meal prep in color-coordinated containers, while you’re wondering if there’s an
Chances are you’ve made losing weight or getting healthy your New Year’s resolution — or part of it — at least one time in your life. And if you’re like the majority of Americans, you start out strong on that goal, but by February, the steam is running out. You’re not alone: 80 percent of
It’s true: 2019 was a YEAR for women’s sports — and 2020 has us even more excited. The big event is, of course, the 2020 Summer Olympics; we’re eager to watch the debut of four new sports, including surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing, plus the return of the USWNT and the US Gymnastics Team, where
Barack Obama has good taste in, well, everything, and apparently that includes workout music. It’s become somewhat of a tradition for the former president to release his top picks in books, movies, TV, and music each year, and in 2019, his list of songs included this note: “If you’re looking for something to keep you
Having a foam roller is like having a massage therapist at your fingertips — and way cheaper!

Additionally, you have to
Buddha bowls are one of our favorite food trends — they are overflowing with both flavor and potential. Once you get past their kitschy name (they are so full, like Buddha’s tummy), you’ll find that a delicious and aesthetically pleasing Buddha bowl incorporates lots of vegetables, grains, and lean proteins. When arranged correctly, a Buddha
No dumbbells? That’s OK! You don’t need them if you choose effective bodyweight moves like these.

Close your eyes, take a long deep breath, and slowly exhale. Feel a little better? Good. Now keep that feeling going for 10 minutes while you move through this calming yoga sequence. It’ll give you a much-needed break from any stress you may be experiencing, and taking a few minutes for self-care can help you
I’ve had some trouble with gratitude. Sure, I say thank you all the time. I acknowledge people’s actions. I show appreciation toward others for the things they bring to my life through words, notes, and gifts. Gratitude, though, is something different. I’ve learned being grateful is acknowledging in your own soul you have been given
Maybe you already have New Year’s resolutions written in thick permanent marker, but you might want to take another look and add more if none of them revolve around self-care. We’ll admit that self-care may seem complicated because it looks different for everyone based on their own needs. Plus, it’s fair to say that one

First of all, we applaud your commitment to doing the research before diving in. While eating exclusively during a four-, six-, or eight-hour window every day — and
Chances are you know someone who swears by the menstrual cup. These silicone wonders can be worn longer than tampons, and they don’t leak. But can they actually soothe period cramps, as so many people claim? According to Heather Bartos, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn and founder of Badass Women, Badass Health, there’s no reason to
Let’s play the State the Obvious game: working out after the holidays is hard. I mean, it’s difficult enough to come back to your normal routine of setting an alarm, going to work, doing chores, and so on after spending a week lazing around with friends and family. But I personally have the hardest time
Trends in wellness ebb and flow, but getting rejuvenating sleep has now moved beyond the fad stage and into a full-on movement. Everyone I talk to is obsessed with their sleep quality, getting to sleep faster, and making the most of their downtime. Now, I can count myself as one of those people, when an
No matter how impressive our workout wardrobe may be, we’ve always got room for more leggings. In honor of the new decade (woah), there have been quite a few pairs that made it into our Hall of Fame. If you’re going to crush your New Year’s goals, treat yourself to a great new pair of
Menstrual cups come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and finding the right fit is key. But even a cup that sits comfortably against the walls of the vagina can feel out of place if the stem isn’t trimmed. The stem sits at the base of the menstrual cup and is designed to help
