Editor’s note: Today’s post is brought to us by Minaa B., author of Rivers Are Coming, founder of the digital mental health magazine Respect Your Struggle, and a licensed master social worker. When I was 22 years old, I was diagnosed with severe depression. Through therapy, I learned how to create self-care rituals to help alleviate […]
It only took Kelly’s post and about 15 episodes of this podcast to finally convince me to give meditation a try, and after two weeks of consistently starting my day with 10 minutes of Headspace, I’m already feeling more grounded, calm, and overall way more mindful as I go about my day. I think the reason it took […]
There’s definitely something in the autumn air that begs for a new pair of boots, but now that I’ve decided to pull the trigger and do some shopping this weekend, I realize I’m faced with a host of options in style, heel height, color, and more. If you’re as indecisive as I am, there’s a good chance you’ve found […]
I have a feeling that most women’s “desert island” makeup choice would be mascara. There’s nothing that adds polish and prettiness quite like it, but there are also about a thousand different options (with new ones hitting the market daily) claiming longer, thicker, curlier, fuller, or more natural lashes. How’s a girl to choose? We polled […]
The most relaxing spot in my home is curled up in my bed reading a good book, binge watching Netflix, or snuggling with my puppy (preferably all at once.) I love the idea of coming home to a comfy bed at the end of a long day and just unwinding. Since my bed is the […]
When it comes to beauty products, are you loyal to one brand, or are you more of a serial dater? On busy mornings, I’m generally a fan of sticking to one tried-and-true skincare and makeup routine, so I’ve always been a tad obsessed with uncovering the very best in each category. Which is why I’m so pumped […]
I’m going to be honest with you: the original concept of this story was “pool-proof makeup,” but my daily commute has gotten so humid that I basically feel like I’m swimming to work every day anyway. There’s nothing more depressing than arriving at the office to discover that three-quarters of your masterful face of makeup […]
I can’t think of anyone with more intimate, lifelong friends than Chanel. Our most loveable Team CS producer seems to collect them wherever she goes: middle school, her college a capella group, summer camp, and every job she’s ever had. She’s a self-proclaimed “fun-haver” and her colorful group of girlfriends are living proof — we knew that […]
One of my favorite things at MOD is that they spend almost 15 minutes of every class focusing just on your glutes. I have a real love/hate relationship with the moves, but in the end, there’s no question that they get you results. To help us on our continued journey towards a better summer bod, the MOD […]
It’s that time of year when I always start to feel a little nostalgic that the summer is passing by so quickly — and with it comes a desperation to eat as many tomatoes, peaches, and watermelon as is humanly possible while they’re still around! There are certain fruits and vegetables that are only good in […]
You know when a trend comes along that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it? That’s how I feel about lace-up sandals. I just love ’em. After acquiring my first pair of classic flat black beauties, it became clear I needed every color and heel height variation out there. So since I’m spending a […]
Would you guys eat salad for breakfast? I have to admit that it’s something I would never have considered a couple years ago, but as I’ve gotten more into savory breakfasts (and started filling my smoothies with loads of spinach), suddenly the idea doesn’t seem so crazy. And there’s no doubt that starting things off […]
