HIGH-FIVE FEED

Nurtured by Nature • I was born and raised in Colorado, so I love the outdoors. Only problem? I live in New York City, where you need to navigate tunnels, trains, and traffic if you want to access a legit dose of nature. My proposed solution: Establish—and care for—an apartment-friendly garden that helps me bring the outside inside. Forty-four botanical babies later, I’ve realigned with my inner wild child and become much more mindful. I guess you could call this the most calming challenge ever

Cool and Fuzzy • If you haven’t swapped your commuting flats for wool sneakers yet, what are you waiting for? Wool is a naturally breathable, sustainable material that fights bacteria and odor (ideal post-workout) and regulates your temp (heating cold feet and chilling hot ones). The latest kicks from brands like Pendleton (shown), Allbirds, Hoka One One, and Baabuk have winter-ready features, like grippy rubber outsoles and weatherproof outer layers. Go ahead, make the leap to sheep.

Such Great Heights • Wanna take your fitness to the next level (literally)? Meet altitude training, the pro secret to souping up strength and endurance, fast.

No Lazy Lunges Here • Crazy how a tiny angle tweak can change a move. The curtsy lunge strengthens and sculpts your inner thighs and outer glutes beyond the basic ol’ lunge—if you do it right. Which you will, now:

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT • There’s no doubt the mind-muscle connection—consciously focusing on the body part(s) you’re training as you go through an exercise—scores you better results. But what if we told you that, sometimes, not paying attention to your biceps or butt is the way to go? The faceoff:

The DL on D • Nearly 40 percent in the U.S. are deficient in vitamin D—the “sunshine vitamin” that protects your bones and long-term health by increasing your absorption of calcium. But before you go popping bottles of supplements as daylight shortens, consider these facts:

Glow in a Glass

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Faux Fish • Being vegan doesn’t mean choosing between boring veggie sushi rolls or no sushi at all. Try this recipe, courtesy of NYC’s Rolln, starring dehydrated tomatoes (say what?!) that look, feel, and taste just like your fave spicy tuna.

Sweet Thangs

TEATIME • Hit any cool cafe (or scroll Instagram) and you’ll know that offbeat herbal teas are having a moment. If you’ve “been there, drank that” with the usual peppermint or chamomile varieties, give one of these a sip.

Prep and Schlep

Avocadabra!

What the Puff?

The Art of Looking Back

App-ily Ever After

Clear Minds, Full Hearts • Muttering the F word—focus—to yourself now more than ever? Same. Break through the distractions.

V, V Awesome

The Vagina Dialogues • Your gyno might have “MD” after her name, but sometimes you’ve gotta be the one to school her. That’s because docs don’t always initiate über-important talks. When and how to take control:

The Winter Wonderland • Deciding between a snow-bunny trip and a warm, sunny escape? Have both! Arizona boasts the perfect ratio of desert to mountains, which means you can customize a getaway that checks all the boxes: mild weather, activities galore, Insta-worthy scenery, and more. Le’go!

Peels So Good • Peels are the closest thing to having a skin do-over in a bottle. Less expensive than lasers...
