There’s really no way to bring us down this time of year. The sun’s out, wildflowers are in full bloom, and the farmer’s market is quite literally bursting with fresh produce. As a result, we’re walking around with an ever-so-slight pep in our steps, and just about the only question on our minds is “When’s the next […]
photo by luisa brimble via design*sponge Hi friends, hope you’re having a great weekend! By the time you read this, I’ll have been completely unplugged from all devices for 36 hours, with another 12 to go. For our next Wellness Report, I’m taking one for the team and trying out a full-blown digital detox, and […]
The Sunday Scaries. Hangxiety. No matter what you call it, we’ve all been there. Your head is throbbing, you can’t even figure out how to navigate your Favor app (which is further complicated by the fact your eyes are welling up with tears from that stupid Hallmark movie on tv.)

Forget teenage angst, goodbye dreaded 30 — the quarter-life crisis is here and it’s so, so real. Although I remember having this exact thought when I was 25, I also remember feeling alone in thinking that this feeling was just affecting me while the majority of the population had it together. But then I was […]
Have you ever done an epic closet clean-out, donating and giving away much of your belongings, only to be met with an overflowing closet all over again 6 months later? “It’s like gardening,” explains Jennifer Slaski Halligan, a life decluttering coach and the founder of Prune & Bloom, “you can plant and mulch your garden, but […]
images by kristen kilpatrick I’m naturally a creature of habit: it makes me genuinely happy to make my go-to green smoothie for breakfast, take the same route on our family’s neighborhood walk each day, and go to bed around the same time every night. And don’t even get me started on my morning coffee and […]
I’ve spent an inordinate amount of my life cleaning up candle wax. I’m not a glutton for punishment, it’s just that I can’t stand the thought of entertaining without candlelight. (If you saw this week’s house party story, you already know I have a thing for candles.) My home decor style has been lightly referred to […]
When that dream career doesn’t just fall into your lap, sometimes you need a dramatic change of pace—and perspective. Many of us have reached a moment that feels like rock-bottom when we’re jobless, broke, and not sure where to go next. It usually goes hand-in-hand with the term “post grad”—but that’s certainly not a requisite—and […]

I recently started taking a couple of them in capsule form, and I’ve definitely noticed feeling more energetic and mentally sharp throughout the day, skipping right over the 2pm slump that always hit me post-lunch. Fans of adaptogens claim stress reduction, […]
For as long as I can remember — at least since grade school — I’ve struggled with my weight. I deleted that sentence at least seven times and almost left it out completely, but I’m confident many of you can relate. It’s an embarrassing confession, and it’s filled with a lot of shame and bad […]
