Pilates—the low-impact, core-centric exercise method—is having a moment. Yes, the slow, controlled movements are challenging and can fire up your abs in just minutes (just try the Pilates hundred!) But even if Pilates is your go-to workout, don’t ditch your weightlifting or cardio routine just yet. While a...

Your Weekly Horoscope for July 28 to August 3, 2024

Mark your calendars for August 4 at 7:13 a.m. EDT, when the new moon in Leo goes exact in the sky. Be warned: New moons in Leo always have a bit of a dramatic flair to them but, this year, Mercury retrograde is right on its heels to add some additional chaos. Fortunately, Mercury retrograde happens on August 5 (or very late on the 4th if you're on the West Coast), so you’ll be able to soak up the warmth, optimism, and positive vibes from the new moon first.

The "Blanket Shirt." Nope, it doesn’t just live in your dreams—it’s a real shirt created by the team at Outerknown, the eco-friendly clothing company committed to creating quality, timeless styles while protecting the planet and supporting fair labor in the process. It's so comfy that it's sold out time and time again and, ahead of a restock last fall, racked up a 20,000-person waitlist. Good news is it's not just in stock—it's marked down 30 percent, along with hundreds of other sustainable styles during the brand's Summer Sale.

News broke yesterday that Daisy Ridley, an actor best known for her roles in the recent Star Wars trilogy and this year's Young Woman and the Sea, has Graves' disease. Ridley was officially diagnosed with the autoimmune condition in September 2023, after seeing an endocrinologist about hot flashes and fatigue—symptoms not commonly associated with an otherwise healthy, active 32-year-old.

No two groups seem to be as polar opposite as feminists and tradwives—that is, the "traditional wives" of social media who tend to preach submissiveness in marriage and that "a woman's place is in the home." But oddly enough, the two camps have lately collided at an uncanny meeting point: childbirth. And more specifically, unmedicated childbirth.

Swimming and running are arguably two of the most common cardio workouts, but they’re vastly different. Although research shows both can improve your heart health, they target your muscles and joints in different ways—and, of course, offer completely different workout experiences.

If you keep seeing TikToks about "moon face" or "cortisol face" and are wondering what the heck that means, well, welcome to the club. I was confused myself until I recently went down a social media rabbit hole, where I discovered videos (with thousands of views, BTW) of people showing their swollen, puffy faces and blaming too-high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. After sharing tales of woe, and a few "before" and "after" pics, many posters end their videos with not-so-discreet callouts to buy their ebook, use their products, or "learn more at the link in bio," so viewers can get rid of their moon face, too.

On a perfect night, you’d put your head down on your cushiony pillow (hopefully not while scrolling TikTok—more on that later), get your eight hours, and wake up refreshed. You may even have the best sleep position in order to get the most quality zzzs. But if lately you've been thinking, why do I wake up every two hours?, you may see sleep as anything but refreshing.

Once again, folks in the west are waking up to the all-too-familiar hazy skies of wildfire season. Cities in Oregon and northern California are feeling the brunt of two large blazes, and other states are getting smoke from fires in Canada, too. As air quality alerts continue to become a normal—albeit dystopian—part of life, it can feel easier to shove them aside and try to keep your day-to-day unchanged. However, experts say there is one part of your routine you should modify when air quality is bad: your exercise routine.
