There's nothing quite like being slightly immobile after your Thanksgiving feast, amirite? Seriously, though, being with food baby is nothing to fear, friends — overindulging is what the holidays are all about. You eat your food, you do a few…

I'll be honest: As a young person, I don't really think about heart health very much. But, at the same time, I'm completely aware that it's never too early or too late to start caring about this part of your health. No matter what your age is,…

Yoga is my answer to everything these days. The moment I start to feel even the slightest twinge of PMS, for example, I’ll take a child’s pose to chill TF out. Or, if I can’t sleep, I’ll rock out any lingering energies in happy baby pose. With…

When you're too busy for workout classes and too broke for a gym membership, it can be tough to figure out what counts as a good workout in your hectic lifestyle. Like, does walking an extra 10 minutes during your morning commute in lieu of taking…

Jogging on the treadmill is hard. Sprinting on a treadmill? That's another beast entirely. That's why, when I saw a video of Nina Dobrev sprinting on the treadmill (with a freaking resistance band to up the intensity of the sprint, might I add), I…

What's your relationship like with exercise? For me, I like to think of my time working out as a sort of meditation, because moving my body really does center me and clear my mind. And it turns out, one of my favorite Disney Channel stars from back…

I have a love-hate relationship with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Don't you? The truth is, no matter how much your wallet may side-eye you after these days of shopping galore, there's no denying that some of the deals are absolutely fire.…

Is it just me, or is it beginning to look a lot more like Black Friday every time you open your email? With brands sliding into your inbox with bigger pre- and post-Thanksgiving promotions than last year, forget strategizing over which stretchy…

Are you making a list? Checking it twice? Whether you’re on Santa’s naughty or nice list, everyone wins on Black Friday. Years ago, visions of the retail holiday weren’t exactly decorated with sweet deals and happy customers dancing through the…

I've always found it kind of strange how exercise is often considered something that requires a ton of discipline. Hear me out: If you start doing something that makes you feel incredible, wouldn't you naturally want to keep doing it, rather than…

As wonderful as the holidays are, they can also be a pretty stressful time of year, to say the least. Between gift shopping, gift giving, and seeing family you may or may not be super fond of, the most wonderful time of the year can also sometimes…

The most wonderful time of the year is arguably the most reflective. With holidays looming, New Year's Eve will be here before you know it, and I think most, if not all of us, are planning to make the most out of the clean slate 2019 has to offer.…

Just hear those savings jingling, cashier’s cha-chinging, too. It’s holiday season, and retailers are waiting for you — to spend all your dollars on Black Friday, that is. Up until recently, this was the one major shopping event I refused to…

Running solo can be an incredibly therapeutic and rejuvenating way to de-stress and clear your mind after a long day. However, it's important to keep your safety and wellbeing in mind when running on your own, especially if you're doing so late at…

Picture this: You're in a yoga class, expecting things to be quiet and placid throughout, but eventually everyone around you starts moaning, groaning, and loudly expressing sighs of relief and surrenders. Quite frankly, some people might be really…

You know when you're so sick that you can barely breathe, and you essentially turn into a walking tissue box so you can catch the super sexy stream of snot perpetually dripping out of your nose? Same. When a head cold hits you like a ton of bricks,…

Sometimes the things that are best for you in life also happen to be the things that are the most tedious to endure. That's kind of how I feel about doing HIIT workouts. While they make me feel great after the fact, the whole "during" part can…

The other day, I was scrolling through the IG explore page and came across a video of a couple working out. Instead of using resistance bands or weights, the guy bench-pressed his partner and then had her sit on his back as he did push-ups. I'm…

If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, then you've probably experienced some annoying muscle tension at one point or another. As a writer myself, by the end of the week, my tight shoulders are hunched up to my ears like a sleeping bat,…

Professional athletes are another breed of human, IMO. I truly can't comprehend the dedication and stamina it must take to compete in any kind of world class athletic environment. So when I heard about Simone Biles' kidney stone at the 2018 World…
