Wellness Social Clubs Are Replacing Bars—So I Tried One Instead of Happy Hour

Falling Off Your Winter Arc? Here’s Your Reset Plan to Still Hit Your Goals by January

As someone who loves to set self-improvement goals, the Winter Arc trend is right up my alley. It also feels achievable, given that winter is a slower time for many of us, offering the opportunity to prioritize our goals. In many ways, it feels serendipitous: set the goals, put them into practice, and become a new and improved you. However, if I’ve learned anything about a wellness trend, it’s that nothing is ever as “easy” or “achievable” as it seems.

We set goals with the best intentions: exe...

Food Is Getting More Expensive—Here’s What I’m Swapping in My Grocery Cart

I used to love grocery shopping. Every Sunday, I would plan my weekly meals and even splurge on a few extra “fun” items while browsing the aisles. But lately, grocery shopping has become something I dread. From the moment I set foot in the store, I worry about how expensive my grocery bill will be or what is out of stock. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food prices increased 3 percent from 2024, and this year prices for eggs, beef, veal, sugars and sweets, and nonalcoholic bever...

Kelsea Ballerini Is Having a Slow-Girl Summer

There have been a lot of summer trends over the years: “hot girl summer,” “brat summer,” and more recently, “sardine girl summer.” And while each of those has had a place in my summer mood board (the sardine bag from STAUD is calling my name), I have to say, this year I align most with a “Slow-Girl Summer” mentality. I came across the term in a recent interview with Kelsea Ballerini in Nylon, who shared that she’s having a “Slow-Girl Summer” after concluding her 30-city arena tour in March.

The Best Protein Bars On The Market For Every Type of Diet

The protein bar section of the grocery store can look a little like you’re browsing the candy display. Colorful wrappers and words like “chocolate chip cookie dough” and “peanut butter cup” can leave you salivating for whatever is most appealing, forgetting about the ingredient label. While intentionally indulging is an important part of a healthy diet, the problem with protein bars is that consumers are not eating them as a mindful dessert but rather under the guise that they’re a health food....

Your Spring Dopamine Menu: How to Boost Happiness and Make One That Works for You

I live in New York City, a fast-paced, often over-stimulating epicenter. While I love everything the city has to offer—the food, the culture, the different neighborhoods—I sometimes feel anxious with all the bustling energy around me. So some weekends, I find myself sitting at home, doom-scrolling, or watching reruns of Sex and The City instead of spending my free time doing something I love, which leaves me feeling tired, unmotivated, or sad. Throw in spring Seasonal Affective Disorder (yes, it...

60 Self-Love Journal Prompts to Improve Your Life

While there can be many forms of love—from your family to friendships to children—arguably the most important kind is the love you feel for yourself (because you can’t give from an empty cup).

Maintaining an affirmation journal and practicing affirmations not only serve as daily reminders...

6 Wellness Habits I’m Letting Go of in My 30s

I’m turning 30, and this milestone feels like it’s taking over my life. Between the changes in my friendships, career, and body (I blame my Saturn Return), I’m noticing old patterns and routines that used to serve me no longer do. And while I plan on keeping some wellness habits I learned in my 20s (i.e., my meditation practice and addiction to SoulCycle), sometimes growing up means letting go. Instead of fighting to keep wellness habits that no longer feel effective, I’ve decided to start 30 wi...

An Expert Guide to Picking the Best Protein Powder for You

Walk through any supermarket or pharmacy in the U.S. today, and you’ll find a multitude of protein powders to choose from: whey, plant-based (like pea, rice, soy, hemp), casein, collagen, and egg. Regardless of the type of protein powder, the supplement is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which means protein powders can contain ingredients like added sugars, caffeine, and even high levels of arsenic.
