Women Special

I came into this world with certain attributes that took no effort : my almond-shaped eyes, my obsession for anything peanut butter and chocolate, and my more-than-I-care-to-admit muscular calves (thanks, Dad). Confidence, on the other hand, is a trait I can say, without a doubt, I was not blessed with from day one. In fact, self-esteem is an unfamiliar feeling I struggle with. But confidence is a learned skill that takes practice, much like riding a bike or mastering a new language—something I gleaned from Jessica Chang-Irish , founder of Jessica Chang Consulting and a coach who trains women to speak and carry themselves more confidently.

Prepping a week’s worth of lunches can quickly get boring and monotonous. When you’re eating the same thing every day of the week, eating can feel like a chore. Enter Bento boxes—the perfect way to make lunches fun again. CURRENTLY TRENDING / WELLNESS 7 Healthy Eating Hacks Hilary Duff’s Nutrition Coach Swears By this is what dreams are made of READ MORE These meal prep lunches break up your meal into different sections (which means they’re essentially adult lunchables!). The basic formula typically includes protein, some carbs, and a serving of fruits or veggies. This makes it easy to switch up the sides every day, so you aren’t eating the same exact meal five days in a row. Think celery and ranch as a side one day, but an apple with peanut butter the next, while keeping the main portion the same. If the thought of your food touching gives you the ick, invest in a Bento box with divided sections. Otherwise, just pile everything into your favorite meal prep container and yo...

So you know having an orgasm is great—nay, blissful. No matter what type of orgasm you prefer ( there are multiple , FYI), there’s no denying that they feel good and have a ton of benefits, and we are all entitled to reach an orgasm every time we engage in sexual activities (if you’re struggling to orgasm, click here ). While I LOLed at Sally Albright’s orgasm-at-the-diner performance just as much as every other Nora Ephron fan, women should be having real  orgasms, in whatever way it looks and feels like to them.

No, no, and no. Though pleasure is a good enough reason on its own, I asked experts to share the health benefits of orgasms to give you, dear reader, even more reasons why you should be having regular orgasms.

Ah, August—the month of slowing down and soaking in the last weeks of sunshine before fall. It’s Leo season , friends, and that means it’s time to embrace the joys of life. This month, my hope for you is that you reconnect with your loved ones, soak in the little moments, and disconnect from your digital life. This collection of tech backgrounds is inspired by just that—disconnecting, and as a result, reconnecting with what matters!  CURRENTLY TRENDING / WELLNESS 7 Healthy Eating Hacks Hilary Duff’s Nutrition Coach Swears By this is what dreams are made of READ MORE   Click to Download Calendar—Sunday Start Desktop   |  iPhone X / iPhone 11  |  Samsung Galaxy iPad / Tablet | Second Screen Calendar—Monday Start Desktop   |  iPhone X / iPhone 11  |  Samsung Galaxy iPad / Tablet No Calendar Desktop   |   iPhone X / iPhone 11  |  Samsung Galaxy iPad / Tablet   Click to Download Desktop ...
