It can actually be soft and comfy and—gasp—cute.…
February kicks off part-way through Aquarius season, which, in keeping with the individualistic sign, is ripe for all things eccentric and unconventional. Our February 2024 horoscope suggests we all give some love to our inner weirdos. It’s time to ask yourself: What makes me unique? Then lean all the way into that trait. And get this: February is one of only two months of 2024 with ZERO retrograde planets (March is the other one). In short: Whatever you need or want to do, get to it! The new moon in Aquarius on February 9 asks us to examine our personal…
From the legendary Holy Grail and the philosopher’s stone—both of which were said to grant eternal life—to Silicon Valley tech bros paying $8,000 for blood transfusions from young, healthy donors, the quest to cheat death (or at least live longer lives) has preoccupied the human psyche for as long as we’ve been on this earth. But what if I told you that there was a science-backed way to live longer that didn’t require any expensive potions, dangerous quests, or flavorless fad diets? Because there is, and it’s called exercise. Okay, don’t roll your eyes. Unlike, say, intermittent fasting or other…
As a former competitive swimmer who also played water polo and competed in aquathlons, it’s fair to say I’m pretty experienced when it comes to water activities. But as far as water aerobics goes, I like many, had the misconception that it was an easy, relaxing activity primarily for older adults. And boy, was I proven wrong. Instead, I was incredibly humbled when I recently took my first class. “It’ll be a slow, low-intensity way to start my day,” I thought to myself. Safe to say, it wasn’t easy nor slow by any means—rather quite the opposite. To start was…

Explore the SHOP If you’re anything like me, you’ve figured out one makeup method that looks good on you… and haven’t deviated from it ever since. My makeup routine involves using the same products, applied via the same techniques (with maybe a little extra eyeshadow added now and then) that…

Explore the SHOP To sleep like a baby, several factors are key to a good night’s rest: a quality mattress, a dark room, and some peace and quiet, which is often the hardest to find. Whether it’s traffic on a busy street, loud neighbors, or a bedmate who snores like…

Whether you’re trying to make it to the Masters—or simply trying to master miniature golf—adding strength training to your fitness routine can be a huge plus for your golf game. Golf isn’t just for business bros; it’s a sport that requires strength, mobility, and stability. And all of those skills can be honed the proper strength exercises for golf. Sure, golf looks pretty chill. But it’s a long game, which means it’s crucial to build your strength and stamina to keep your swings strong well into the fourth hour of play. “Any time you can do any type of training…
Per her 2008 anthem “You Belong With Me,” Taylor Swift might not be a “cheer captain”—but she sure knows how to cheer on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from the bleachers (or box seat, rather). And the support is mutual: Since the pair first made their relationship public in July 2023, both Swift and Kelce have been less than shy about playing the cheerleader role and supporting each other’s passion-driven careers. From Kelce donning a full denim suit inspired by Swift’s re-release of 1989 to Swift sporting a custom Chiefs jacket designed by Kristin Juszczyk, it’s clear how…
If you’re the type of person who wakes up, puts on their sneakers, and heads to a HIIT workout class, keep doing your thing. But if you prefer to go from lying in your bed to lying on your mat, morning Pilates might be the best way to start your day. Just ask Brian Spencer, a Pilates instructor at East River Pilates, who created a flow for those of us who don’t exactly rise and shine. “This is perfect if you’re more like me and need a little moment to wake up slowly and lie down a bit,” he says…
