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 …
During a recent trip to Target, I found myself in the personal care section (as one does), and I couldn’t believe how many “clean” and “ethical” beauty products were on the shelves. From vegan hair dye to organic makeup — it was as if the big-box store had suddenly turned into a responsible marketplace. “Without specifics or …
I personally tried 6 organic weighted blankets and made notes on how comfortable, breathable, and calming they are — so you can relax. Sometimes it’s hard to relax.

Summary: While pillows are an essential element of one’s bedding setup, I’d never found one I loved for optimal sleep until I tried Avocado’s line of luxury pillows for a week. In the process, I discovered what I love and don’t love in a pillow. My favorite from their line is the Molded Latex Pillow. It’s made with charcoal-infused …
Travel pictures are once again cropping up on my social feeds. Cocktails on the beach, mountain hikes, city street wanderings — I’m finally feeling called to see things for myself once more. And when my husband’s soft-wheeled carry-on broke irreparably during our last trip to see family in the Midwest, we both knew it would …

Certifications, organic materials, and ethical craftsmanship are all important factors but when it comes down to it, purchasing a mattress shouldn’t have to drain your bank account. Below, you’ll find our favorite organic mattress brands and the sales they’re offering for Labor Day 2023—many of …
Public health and climate researcher Lyn Stoler learned about climate change for the first time when she was in the fourth grade in 2005.
