For a few hours, my Twitter feed literally became flooded with women giving each other the low-down…
Read MorePacking the perfect beach bag is essential to surviving this year’s heat apocalypse. In addition to incorporating go-to items like a towel, sunglasses, and (duh) flippy floppies, throwing in a few heat-protectant items is imperative to keep you cool as a cucumber and baked-free from the sun—and one of the best ways to do just…
Read MoreLet’s face it, we’re not all 21 anymore. And hangovers are a dark, looming future that often treacherously follow a fun night out. That tequila shot sounds like a great idea until you wake up the next morning with a pounding headache. While it can be pretty difficult to wake up unscathed after a night…
Read MoreLast week, the Internet went ballistic (pun intended) when a tweet about Anthony Bourdain, followed by a genius piece by The Cut, finally put a name to that certain…aura some people give off. Yes, I’m talking about Big Dick Energy. Our team group message blew up instantly after someone posted about it, and before long, BDE…
Read MoreLast summer I found myself overwhelmed with anxiety and depression in a way I had never experienced before. After a breakup, a surgery, a death in my family, and a dog attack, the curious and optimistic person I had always tried to be evaporated into thin air. All of a sudden, a sad and fearful…
Read MoreThere are some things I don’t feel all the way comfortable doing in public. Until recently, I probably would have told you that wandering around with a face mask made the list—but that all changed this weekend, when I decided to take on #PDFM (public display of face masking). Over the course of 24 hours,…

As you may have learned, not all sunscreens are created equal. Some are perfect for layering under your makeup, some are great for sensitive skin, some are the best for getting your sweat on…different people have different needs! But, according to a recent study, you might want to keep something else in mind when shopping…
Read MoreI experienced my first anxiety attack in the summer of 2014 while locked in the bathroom stall at my corporate fashion job. At this point, I had been living in New York City for a little over two years, but it felt like a lifetime. Up until that point, I had experienced severe digestive issues—I…
Read MoreSo you’ve finally hit rock bottom: you’ve watched the new season of Glow or Queer Eye up until the very end and your heart aches for a “Play Next Episode” button that you know will not appear (yet). Worry not, friend. We know how frustrating it can be to poke around on Netflix’s homepage until…
Read MoreSocial media is a great place to find inspiration, make connections, and kill time when you’re bored. But as much as you try to foster a positive environment online, it’s unavoidable that you might come across a couple of haters from time to time—especially if you’ve garnered a big following. Dealing with bullies has come…
Read MoreI personally consider this generation to be constantly conscious, I mean we know what body wash to use post-spin, and which moisturizer to dab after Bikram, so it was only a matter of time before we scoured the web for summer-friendly undies. No matter how sensitive a topic, though, it’s important to note that the…
Read MoreI am someone who constantly battles with anxiety. Anxiety is something that can easily eat you alive and you won’t even realize how far you have gone until you realize how far you have come. It takes practice to learn to enjoy yourself without thinking about what could have been or what should have been…
Read MoreWe all know living in a hog, humid place like New York City can be treacherous. You step outside, your hair either falls flat or frizzes away, and you instantly start to break out into a sweat as if you just ran the marathon—without even trying. Trust us, we know how frustrating that can be….
Read MoreFor a long time, salads have been a go-to for last-minute meals. We’ve dropped our unhealthy habits, kicking out fast food and replacing it with the goodness and wholeness of a bowl filled with greens, fruits and everything in between. But for people who are just jumping into the world of salads, some might not…
Read MoreI, and my F-size boobs, want a trendy sports bra—the kind you can run, jump, and downward dog in, without worrying about excessive jiggle, spillage, or under-boob sweat. Those of you who also rep the big titty committee know what I’m talking about. But I don’t just want a bra that’s functional, I want a…
Read MoreTaking care of ourselves is hard enough. We have to make sure we drink enough water, get that vitamin D, and consume more food than our stomachs can handle so we don’t become hangry. Taking care of plants, on the other hand, is nearly impossible. It’s like when the toy industry thought it was a…
