Whether you started seeing a therapist for the first time during the pandemic or you were already meeting with a mental health professional before, there’s a good chance you’ve tried, or at least considered, virtual therapy at some point in the last two years. Many therapists were unable to meet with clients in-person, due to

As the weather gets warmer and the florals start to bloom, there’s nothing more uplifting than enjoying the outdoors in the springtime. Unfortunately, I deal with pretty bad allergies. From the constant sneezing and stuffy nose to the watery eyes and feeling all-around irritated and itchy, springtime allergies are the bane of my existence. Instead

As a fitness editor, I’ve tried every workout you can imagine. With each one, I’ve noticed that having someone present to hold me accountable (whether virtually or in person) plays a huge part in whether or not I actually end up completing my workout.

Serena Williams is allegedly one of the investors behind a new bid to purchase Chelsea Football Club (Chelsea F.C.) from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, according to a Sky News report. Williams and F1 racing champion Sir Lewis Hamilton are reportedly aiming to pour 10 million pounds (approximately $13.06 million) each into a bid led by

In today’s medical practice, it is all too common for women to leave a hospital or doctor’s office misdiagnosed — or even worse, not diagnosed at all. Between the issues of medical gaslighting and women having to use social media platforms like TikTok to advocate for their symptoms, misdiagnosis has become a barrier to health

You probably already stretch before and after exercising, depending on the workout, but stretching is something you need to do every day, whether you work out or not. That’s because it keeps your muscles from shortening (hello, tight hamstrings from sitting at a desk all day), and helps with flexibility, mobility, and range of motion.

But if you follow up by asking why one or the other should come first, you’ll likely get about 100 different reasons. Anna Victoria, a personal trainer and the founder

When it comes to my workout outfits, I’m admittedly not very adventurous; while I like a good matching set every now and then, I tend to stick to black leggings or bike shorts and a black workout tank. Basic, however, does not mean boring, and I feel like I’ve tested every workout tank on the

Listen: I love a good takedown as much as anyone. (Discrediting fad diets? Yes, please. Debunking fitness myths? You know it.) But please, I beg of you: Leave espresso martinis alone. We’re two years into a global pandemic that just won’t quit, with mounting concerns over the state of global affairs (as well as the

Sometimes after a long day of work, school, caregiving, and generally being alive in the year 2022, nothing sounds better than a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail. Call it happy hour, call it taking the edge off, call it blowing off steam; we’re accustomed to leaning on alcohol when we need some help

Sometimes tampons can be a real pain to take out, especially if your period has slowed to the point that the tampon is basically dry. Personally, I find that scenario even more unbearable and anxiety provoking than the times I’ve struggled to find the string. The worst part is that there’s really no way of

Days after the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention extended the federal mask mandate for airplanes and public transportation, a federal court in Florida has struck it down. Explaining the decision, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said that the CDC exceeded its authority in instituting the mandate and failed to justify its necessity. At
