Never have I ever seen a more genius marketing move than Hailey Bieber’s new Rhode phone case. ICYMI: the celeb beauty founder launched an unexpected product in her viral skincare brand (and yes, we’re all obsessed). But it’s not just any phone case. On the back, it has a built-in holder for your Rhode Lip Treatment. This product placement isn’t just convenient—like any product geared to Gen Z and millennials, it looks good in selfies. All over the internet, fans have been posting their own mirror selfies showing off their Rhode phone cases and Rhode-treated pouts. Talk about organic product m ..read more

Abstract art has a way of eliciting the inevitable: That looks easy, I could paint that. The untrained eye only sees haphazard strokes and seemingly random splotches of paint. What it doesn’t capture is the years it took to hone in this style and to develop the confidence to explore the boundaries of art. This truth extends across all creative disciplines, particularly within the endlessly evolving world of food. We assume minimal-ingredient recipes imply ease, and that something simple poses no challenge for a novice. But the best chefs know: simplicity has a place at the table. That’s exactl ..read more

Being an adult is hard. Full stop. Countless things make us wish we could time-travel back to childhood. Taxes (ugh, top of mind), work blunders, insurance—life stressors in general. Everything feels like a lot when you have no one but yourself to hold you accountable. And yes, friendships—making and maintaining them—count, too. But why? We love our friends. They’re the people we gossip to, confide in, and share everything with. (Plus, they offer endless entertainment when we’re bored.) Friends make us laugh and remind us that we’re not alone in our feelings, struggles, and challenges. Life, h ..read more

This April 22nd, people all around the world will celebrate Earth Day. It’s a time to celebrate our precious planet, and consider how we can care for her better. Rooted in a legacy of environmental activism, this special day invites us to unite in honoring Mother Earth. Growing up in California, Earth Day was more than just a date on the calendar for me—it was woven into the fabric of my childhood and shaped by my mom’s deep reverence for nature. Now, as a parent, passing on these values to my own children feels like a sacred duty. If you’re wondering how to celebrate Earth Day with your littl ..read more

As someone who regularly tests recipes and also happens to live alone, I often find myself with the dilemma of having lots of extras. This isn’t a bad thing, of course. I’ve made friends with neighbors and always have treats to bring to the office. But sometimes, I just want to make something that’s not left hanging around my house for weeks. (When I developed this recipe a few months ago, I ate it every night for seven days straight.) I know I’m not alone in the struggle, so I’ve devised the ultimate small-batch banana nut muffins recipe. That’s right—these make a total of six muffins. You’re ..read more

A gathering is best enjoyed when the host is involved. In the party, that is—not just the prep. Once you’ve spent time planning the event, the guest list, and the menu, the last thing you want to do when happy hour strikes is frantic, last-minute prep. If there’s one thing guaranteed to appease your guests in a timely manner, it’s easy make-ahead appetizers. They’re a gift to hosts everywhere. There’s nothing like having food prepared ahead of time to mitigate the dreaded pre-party scramble. Couple that with make-ahead appetizers that are also relatively uninvolved, and you’ve unlocked the ult ..read more

With a very full heart (and equally full hands) I recently became a mother of two. As such, I’ve leaped back into the spotlight of mood swings, pelvic floor dysfunction, and sleepless nights. But there’s one postpartum experience I completely forgot about: muscle loss. Days after delivering both of my boys, it was as if poof most of my muscle mass disappeared—despite active pregnancies. With strength goals on the horizon, it’s a fitting time to share how to build muscle and lose fat. After all, many of us are on a quest for a fitter, stronger body (postpartum aside!). But how can you shed unwa ..read more

There’s so much to embrace about the warm weather season ahead. Al fresco dining, backyard gardening, and plenty of sun-soaked days. But of course, with the opportunity to ditch our winter layers comes plenty of toxic messaging. Hello… “summer body.” Thankfully, in the era of increased neutrality, a summer body depends on nothing more than existing in the months between May and August. It’s freeing to align your routine to your changing needs instead of trying to change your body for the seasons. With that approach in mind, my summer prep looks like resetting my skincare routine, turning over ..read more

It wouldn’t be spring without a thorough and necessary deep clean of your home. Now is the time to blast your favorite playlist, pull out your cleaning caddies, and don some rubber gloves to clean the spots in your home that don’t get regular TLC. Let’s be real though—spring cleaning can be a daunting task, no matter the size of your home. If you’re not sure where to start, this spring cleaning checklist can help. Instead of looking at it as one huge, formidable chore, we’ve broken it down, room by room, to take some of the guesswork out of your own spring clean. As you read through our checkl ..read more

This lemon raspberry almond cake has a secret ingredient: whole milk ricotta makes it light, fluffy, and (I’m just gonna say it) extremely moist. Many of you know that I’ve been on a gut-healing, grain-free journey that’s led me down a new path of discovering all the delicious baked goods that use almond flour, coconut flour, and cassava flour. Yes, swapping in these alt-flours requires some know-how (and I’ve had a few fails along the way), but this cake proves I’m not sacrificing a single ounce of deliciousness. Because even if you’re eating grain or gluten-free, I believe that eve ..read more
