Winter is probably the best time of year to get creative with your nail art because there are so many designs and rich-colored options to choose from, whether you’re looking for a festive nail finish or something cozy. “This winter season’s standout nail art includes wild animal prints, winter florals, and reimagined French finishes,” says Juanita Huber-Millet, founder and creative director at Townhouse. You’ll also be seeing a lot of mismatched manis, 3D nail embellishments, and frosted chromes and sparkles.

Surely, following up my workout with a sugary drink that tastes like a milkshake couldn’t *actually* be good for me, right? Curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to see for myself if there were actually any benefits from drinking chocolate milk after my workouts during marathon training—and I…

Move over, aluminum basin full of hose water and ice. There’s a new cold plunge in town, and she’s fancy. In fact, she’s the fanciest tub we’ve ever seen—and the most expensive.

When it comes to the fitness world, “do it in a heated room” is like “put an egg on it:” Why not add in a little something extra for a new dimension? The concept, already near-standard with yoga, has come to Pilates (both mat and machine varieties), which has led to a hot Pilates boom across the country. Studios have opened up recently in cities like Los Angeles, Denver, and Detroit, to name just a few. “Call me biased, but I am absolutely obsessed with hot Pilates,” says Chelsea Stewart, the founder of HAVN Hot Pilates in Denver. “It is…
