Like the nucleus of a cell, the kitchen is the heart of a house. Everything happens in the kitchen and one could even say life itself happens here too. Birthday celebrations, romantic at home dates, and more. In this pandemic, I’ve been spending almost 85% of my time in the kitchen: experimenting with new recipes,…
Read MoreThe team over at Chillhouse has been going non-stop since the launch of their Chill Tips back in 2020 – with two collections in the books and tons of cult-classic Chill Merch under their wings, it was only a matter of time before they dove into their own formulated products. Since oils are a staple…
Read MoreAs you may or may not know, The Chill Times is the sister site to Chillhouse, a modern destination in New York City for all things self care, including wellness lattes, massage, and nail art (just to name a few!). Nail art is truly the bread and butter of the entire establishment, so it’s safe…
Read MoreNothing, and I really do mean nothing, relaxes me like my Gua Sha. This stone tool is small, slim, and feels just as good, if not better, than its cousin the crystal roller. Just a few minutes with this little gadget and the tension in my face melts away, relieving the clench in my jaw, the…
Read MoreWhile I’m a stickler for taking the time to mask multiple times a week (it’s for mental health, too), sometimes a girl just wants to be straight-up pampered. However, unlike those enviable few who can spend a fortune on every chemical peel and LED facial on the market, I like to time my treatments just…
Read MoreMoving apartments, rearranging furniture, and/or designing from scratch can be a messy experience — literally and figuratively. It is however some of the ways to make home feel like home, especially when having to stare at its walls for what seems like 24/7. Writer and interior stylist, Dominique Gebru, knows how to make a small…
Read MoreI love Netflix. No, but seriously I do. It’s a safe haven. I’ve got hours and hours of television and film at my fingertips whenever I want to indulge. But, I’m also someone who likes the debate why the hell the film/TV industries in the United States have always been so… white. From the actors…
Read More“Oh great, another zit.” How many times have you felt yourself saying that? Wouldn’t it be easier to know what was causing these breakouts than just letting them ride out and hoping they go away in time for your next night on the town? That’s what we thought. So when we discovered face mapping, which…
Read MoreSo you’ve got this whole “self-care routine” thing nailed: you have your acupuncturist on speed dial, your affirmations plugged into your Google cal (it’s 11:11 a.m. which means, “My worth is not determined by work!”) and you even meditate (almost) daily. Good work: what you say “yes” to is in alignment with your needs and…
Read MoreI know I love to write a lot of personal stories here on The Chill Times, but this one is about as personal as it gets. I’m gonna be straight up with you right now guys: I pitched this story so I could justify my seemingly never-ending craving for matcha. It’s become a huge part…
Read MoreIn case you weren’t aware: it’s 2018 and life is hard. From political woes to the (literal) searing heat of record-temperature summers, is it any wonder we’re searching for an escape from the daily sense of impending doom? Whether it’s a breakup (hello), a grueling house hunt (oh, double hello), or even just the fact…
Read MoreWhy would you stay? If someone hit you, why would you stay? If your partner beat you, harassed you, assaulted you, raped you, why? How could you stay with that person? Why wouldn’t you come forward with your story? Coming of age as a young woman in America, these were questions that crossed my mind—more…
Read MoreThe workweek can seem practically endless—even before it begins. Most of us spend roughly 7-8 hours at our desks every day, without moving an inch. Instead of feeling chained to our desks, our “homes away from homes” should feel like a space in which we’re able to find moments to relax. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s just…
Read MoreDuring the last month of college, I’d entered a world of little sleep and a lot of stress. In the wake of my “life ending” and the real world hitting me head on, I was hunting for my first real job, trying to live out my “last days” of being an undergrad to the fullest,…
Read MoreA fairly well-known fact about me is that I’ve always wanted to pick up journaling. So often I buy a perfectly good journal and tell myself I’m going to curl up with a cozy blanket and write in it for hours — but then end up leaving it on my desk for weeks, or even…
Read MoreThis year’s NYFW beauty looks took runways by storm with an array of metallic shades; clean-slate, bright-skin canvases; and witch-length nails that would make your nail beds extremely happy. But with each season that arrives, comes fashion and beauty trends that leave us wishing we could take each look from runway to real-way without having to…
Read MoreThere’s nothing like a change in the weather to bring about new habits, routines, and in this case, new products. Chances are your summer and fall beauty routines have more than just a few differences between them—and we’re not just talking about the amount of sunscreen you’ll use (you’re not off the hook by the…
