Should You Add Adaptogens to Your Daily Routine?
If you’re into wellness trends, you’ve probably heard about the life-changing power of adaptogens.

Do You Have A Food Hang-Up and What to Do About It
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 […]

If you’re one of those people who feels they don’t have time for a wellness practice, then A) you probably need it the most, and B) you should probably try cryotherapy. Our art director Jenn Rose was sold the second she found out it takes 3 minutes from start to finish. Granted, these 3 minutes […]
Are We Addicted To Overcommitting?
photo from goop A few months ago, I found myself on a road trip with my husband and a (male) friend.

How to Make New Friends as An Adult
If how to make new friends sounds like a pre-school topic, it’s probably because it’s a skill that isn’t typically taught in our society past age 5. That’s a shame, because many people eventually find themselves stranded in adulthood without the built-in network of friends that school always provided them. Whether you’ve just moved to […]
