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 MoreAt 5 AM, as my husband and I boarded our connecting flight from L.A. to Minneapolis, we received a message from our friend letting us know that we lost our good friend S* in a car accident Friday night. She later died at the hospital from her injuries. I don’t know if it was the…
Read MoreOne of the first times I’ve ever experienced a large amount of responsibility that can be put on someone while at a corporate-level position was when I was supposed to get something really important done for work during a weekend. Come Monday, though, I realized I went the entire weekend without completing the assignment. I obviously got…
Read MoreMasking has quickly become America’s favorite past time. Sheet, clay, and magnetic mask selfies are flooding everyone’s Instagram feeds. But what if we told you that the rest of your bod needs deserves just as much (if not more) attention? Skin issues can reach far beyond our faces, and it’s time we start putting our…
Read MorePeep the Vid Hey babes, let’s get frank, shall we? We’re tired of people telling us what we should or should not talk about when it comes to our bods. Our body is what we make of it and how we choose to define it is completely up to us and no one else, right? That’s…
Read MoreHygge (pronounced hue-guh) is a Danish concept that was brought to our attention by Meik Wiking in his book, The Little Danish Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living. After all, Denmark is considered to be one of the happiest places in the world, so it’s no surprise that Hygge refers to the Danish…
Read MoreDepending on who you ask, either we are all being slowly rotted from the inside out by the chemicals and junk we consume OR our bodies are so perfectly efficient at removing toxins that detoxes and cleanses are a bunch of gimmicky rubbish. The truth? Somewhere in the middle. Even if you are typically a…
Read MoreThere is something inexplicably empowering about wearing a true pajama set. For the longest time, it’s been easiest to grab an old T-shirt and flannel pants and hop into bed, after a hectic day when you just want to go to sleep ASAP. However, just because this is the easiest option doesn’t mean it’s the…
Read MoreNo matter how much we love drugstore beauty products, there’s just something about designer makeup brands that make us feel luxurious AF. It may be the packaging, the smells that pull us in, or the actual way these products work; either way, we can’t resist them, and we don’t want to. So if you have…
Read MoreNYC is unmatched when it comes to fitness. It’s the City That Never Sleeps, and never stops working out. You can try pilates-on-crack at SLT, do yoga hip-hop at Y7, and or you can do a full-blown gym sesh for your face. Yeah, you heard right. Soon, in addition to your regular exercise routine, you…
Read MoreWhen it comes to our health, we try to do everything we can to stray away from getting sick. We eat our vegetables per mom’s request, exercise at least once a week (sometimes every other week), and get enough ZZZ’s to avoid burn out. However, no matter how well we manage our health, there are times…

Read MoreMother’s Day, for most people, is a time to celebrate with the women who have been a maternal influence in their lives. It’s a time to show appreciation, love, and gratitude to those who have sacrificed and showed unconditional love in unimaginable ways. If you’re one of the lucky few who gets to spend this…
