In the last few years, we’ve been extra thoughtful about what we use to clean our spaces. We prefer to avoid harsh cleaning products, like bleach, and keep a critical eye on the ingredients in our household products. Instead, we opt for naturally derived, nontoxic, and biodegradable cleaning products made using sustainable manufacturing practices. These natural …
I’ve always had one of those faces that is drastically different with makeup. If I don’t make the effort to draw out my features, people have often assumed that I am unwell—more than once, when I went out bare-faced and ran into people who were used to seeing me fully made up, they’d put their …

As a long-term yoga practitioner, runner, and resident of Colorado (where a hoodie, hiking boots, and leggings are a perfectly acceptable daily outfit), I’ve always bought leggings based on fit. I asked essential questions like, “Will they stay on my hips?” “Will I get saggy crotch?” “Will I get camel toe?” “Will they make my …

I’m always looking for new ways to add flair to my outfits. Between microtrends and Pinterest pages filled with fashion inspiration, it can be challenging to curate a wardrobe that feels like a true expression of myself.
