10 Tastemakers Define Wellness (And It’s Not What You Think)
I’ve been thinking a lot about the wellness industry lately — specifically as it relates to what we see on social media and in marketing — this idealized, almost utopian lifestyle for a specific (elite) demographic. You know what I’m talking about, right? Images and posts suggesting you must attend a $30 workout class 5x/week, […]
7 Stealth Time Sucks In Your Day
One of the things I struggle with most in life is feeling like I never have enough time to do everything that I want (or need) to do. Anyone else? Between work and play and family and friends, I often feel like my day is spent rushing from point A to point B, always running […]
Weekend Notes
Happy weekend, friends. I’m overwhelmed reading the news this morning and seeing the latest devastation from Hurricane Irma — it’s unimaginable that while our fellow Texans are still in the midst of recovery from Harvey, and so many islands have already been hit hard, Florida is gearing up for more devastation. We’ll continue sharing about […]
I Tried Flotation Therapy and Here’s What Happened
*ed. note: So excited to launch our newest series on the site that we’re calling The Wellness Report, where we’ll be testing out the trendiest (and often weirdest) wellness practices we’ve been hearing about – and reporting back with our results. Many of these practices have been around for centuries, but I (Camille) kicked it off with a relatively new […]
6 Newsletters Every Woman Should Get In Her Inbox
Sifting through emails isn’t exactly an exciting task. Whether it’s a last minute request from a coworker, a bill pay reminder, or just yet another spammy sale email from that one online clothing site that you can never remember to actually unsubscribe from, facing a crowded inbox causes more stress than we’d like. So we […]
6 Ways To Help Texans Affected By Hurricane Harvey
image via lazywoodlane I was born in Houston, and I’ve always maintained a certain level of pride for my state. It’s fun to play up our stereotypes when the rodeo comes to town — that’s when we feel most Texan — and you can bet we love our BBQ, our country music, and our football […]
I Didn’t Eat Anything from A Restaurant for 5 Weeks and This Is What Happened
2017 has been an exciting year of travel for me. I’ve been to Tulum, Mexico City, Todos Santos, Barcelona, and June marked my first ever trip to Italy. While never unpacking your suitcase offers it’s own off-the-rails kind of fun, it tends to go hand-in-hand with never buying groceries, overspending, and forgetting that the concept […]
Why You Should Be Saving for Retirement (and How To Actually Do It)
If we conducted a survey on mystifying personal finance tools, my guess is that a Roth IRA would land in the top five. Most of us are semi-comfortable with 401(k)s, but for some reason, the “R” word adds a whole new level of intimidation. It’s no secret that millions of successful women are missing out […]
How to Be the Successful Friend Without Being a Snob
Editor’s Note: This week I’m passing the career advice torch to Career Contessa’s Editorial Director, Kit Warchol. Kit’s an LA girl and knows a thing or two about managing friends, careers, and finances, so she was a natural choice to tell this story when we came up with the concept. Enjoy her fantastic advice! When […]
The Architect and the Collector
When Sharon met Paul Mrozinski in 1977, neither one of them knew that their lives would be changed forever. A small disaster involving a collapsed driveway initially brought them together, but it’s their uncanny ability to work creatively side-by-side that has made them inseparable ever since. Sharon (a designer and antique dealer) and Paul (an architect) […]
What You Should Be Doing During a Non-Election Year
When I interviewed Naomi Wolf via phone, it was less than a week before the terrible events in Charlottesville rocked our nation. We were already looking for ways to use our platform to become more informed and involved citizens, and when Naomi agreed to an interview we jumped at the opportunity. It’s not every day we get to speak […]
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 […]
