Has Millennial Pink Jumped the Shark?
First we called it “blush”, then we called it “Acne Pink” (after the clothing studio nailed the shade with their signature shopping bags). Finally, the internet decided that this shade demanded it’s own hashtag: meet #millennialpink. If design history has taught us anything, it’s that when a single color becomes ubiquitous across fashion, interiors, and graphic design, it’s destined to […]
15 Best Wellness Instagrammers For All Your Fitspiration Needs
A few months ago, I did an Instagram detox. In my continuing efforts to be more mindful about my social media habits, I made it a point to follow only those accounts that fit into one of two categories. Either (a) people I actually care about, i.e. my real-life friends and family, or (b) people […]

What Supplements Should You Really Be Taking?
It’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to the supplements aisle. We all have friends who swear by one thing or another, but (if you’re like me) you don’t want to throw money at vitamins that won’t actually provide benefits, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the seemingly endless options. However, I […]
3 Self-Defense Moves Every Girl Should Know
Editor’s note: A few weeks ago, while walking my dog, I found myself in a confrontational situation that kicked my fight-or-flight response into high gear. The moment I perceived the threat, my sympathetic nervous system began firing off, filling my body with adrenaline, stress, and aggression like I’d never experienced before. I came out of the situation […]
In Love with the Drummer
Beth Herget and Charlotte Cauwe both have creative industry dream jobs: Beth’s a buyer for Madewell and Charlotte’s an off-the-charts cool jewelry designer. So the fact that these two gorgeous and successful creatives are also totally in love seems almost unfair. Together they’ve built a beautiful life in Brooklyn (along with one very cute cat). To say that […]
The App That Saved Our Trip to Italy
in partnership with Rosetta Stone // photos by kristen kilpatrick and jenn rose smith We stood staring at the upstairs toilet in our villa near Florence.

A Weekend On The Lake
Half-way through Summer ’17, and it’s already going down in my book as one of the best ever. The reason? Because this summer, more than last year and the year before, I’ve found myself spending tons of time on the water.

How To Build A Morning Routine
Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]
4 Reasons You Should Try Something New Today
I love a good routine. As I write this, I’m sitting on our back patio with a cup of coffee (steamed almond milk and a dash of honey per usual) and my laptop, having completed my skincare routine, popped my vitamins, and done a quick meditation.
