Curious to discover if going offline could lighten my load, I decided to embark on a 30-day social media detox. […]

Full disclosure: I’ve touted the benefits of meditation countless times… yet without speaking from established experience.

Why I Wanted to Try a 30-DAY Meditation Challenge For starters, I’ve always struggled […]

All during holiday season, no less! So stir […]

We tried one of the best light therapy face masks daily for 10 weeks to see if it would help reduce acne, wrinkles, and more. Here’s our full at-home LED light therapy review.

Did someone order their November 2019 wellness horoscopes? They’re coming in hot! Halloween may be over, but we’re entering Scorpio season with Mercury retrograde in full force. Sure, we may think it’s ominous—but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of being fatalistic regarding its typical communication delays, electronic malfunctions, and flipped and reversed negotiations, approach […]

I’ve always been drawn to the metaphysical, mystical, and mysterious, so I jumped at the chance as an undergrad to take a course on dream psychology. Since it provided me with the tools to gain illuminating, actionable insights into pressing dilemmas, I fondly remember the class as my favorite within my entire eight years of […]

To better understand what it is and how its strength is integral to a healthy complexion, I asked Los […]

Hear ye, hear ye: Your October 2019 wellness horoscopes are in! I’ll be honest—it looks like this month may present real challenges for most of us, culminating with 2019’s final Mercury in retrograde.

Can clean skincare help get your health back on track? In 2019, I discovered that I have Hashimoto’s (an autoimmune disease that attacks thyroid function) and hypothyroidism (the condition it spurs, resulting in major buzzkills including fatigue, depression, and weight gain).
