Maybe for you, a selfie never happens without two or three retakes to “get the right angle.” Or you can’t stop posting about the other ’gram-worthy things in your life, like your promotion and your new SUV and also your latest deadlift success. Does sharing all this stuff on social media mean you’re a narcissist? It’s complicated. Between Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, the Tinder Swindler, Netflix’s Ted Bundy documentary, and everyone else touting themselves, narcissism seems to be having a cultural moment. Sure, having an abundance of self-esteem or being fixated on capturing the exact right look may seem narcissistic because…
Losing weight is no easy feat, and it can require more time and intention after 30. Although studies show that your metabolism doesn’t significantly start to slow until you reach the age of 60, there are many reasons why it may seem like you’re more likely to gain weight once you hit 30: your life gets busier, work gets in the way, you become more sedentary, your eating habits may suffer, and more. “If you have never struggled with weight before 30 and your eating and lifestyle habits are less than desirable, chances are it will catch up with you…

And you’re probably surprised by just how calorie-dense some of your faves are. Take alcohol for instance—many cocktails you order out at restaurants and bars are packed with sugar and cals. And since a calorie deficit is key for weight loss, it begs the questions of whether it’s possible to drink at all.Drinking—or not—can have a greater impact on weight loss than just extra calories. “Alcohol is both a toxin and inflammatory substance…

I’ll admit it. Aside from a monthly pedicure, I probably don’t take the best care of feet—I’ll wear narrow-toed shoes even though I have a bunion on my left foot. But, I can’t help but value aesthetics over comfort. It’s realllly hard to find cute shoes with a wide toe box, and—let’s be real—most orthopedic shoes aren’t really the most chic. So when the opportunity to review Fulton insoles came through, I jumped at it. Subconsciously, it was probably because I wanted to alleviate some of the guilt I felt after not following my podiatrist’s orders (I recently went to…
I was recently interviewing for a new gig as a freelance content marketing writer and journalist, chatting with a potential new client. We were almost finished with the interview when one of her questions took me by surprise, a huge topic she brought up almost as an afterthought. But I knew immediately my response would make or break my success in the interview. She asked, “So, what do you think about ChatGPT?” Her meaning was clear: How will it impact the future of our industry, as creatives? How would I be using—or not using—it if I got the position?It was…
