It’s far too easy to dismiss lipstick as superficial. But like so many things, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find it can be so much more. Flashback to the year 2000: I was working at another magazine, as an assistant beauty editor, when the editor-in-chief unexpectedly popped into the beauty closet—that magical place where all new mascaras, skin creams, and shine enhancers come to be tested and reviewed—and began to bemoan the sales of the latest issue, featuring Julia Roberts on the cover. “Julia!” she wailed. “She always sells! When she doesn’t sell well, you know you’re in trouble.” Randomly—or what seemed to me right then as random— she asked if we’d received any new lipsticks. I procured a bin of tubes, and she plopped onto the floor,…

She swears by a combo of running and Pilates to stay in shape (and teaches up to 30 classes a week!). “Pilates keeps my whole body flexible and defined, and running keeps my heart strong,” she says.

Without googling it, could you explain a brain aneurysm? Ninety-three percent of Americans reported knowing little to nothing about the condition. Thing is, one ruptures every 18 minutes in the U.S., they’re more common in women than men, and the results can be deadly. Let’s illuminate the facts: This bulge-like weakness in one of your brain’s blood vessels can grow over time and eventually break, causing a life-threatening hemorrhage. A family history (two or more relatives with a brain aneurysm) and certain disorders that affect your connective tissue, like polycystic kidney disease, are major risk factors; smoking, obesity, drug and alcohol abuse, and high blood pressure can also up your odds. When the aneurysm is intact, symptoms are rare; a sudden, severe headache is the most common sign of a…

TABLE FOR 20! If our recent WH Twitter poll is any indication, communal restaurant dining is kinda the worst (actually, not “kinda”— 84 percent of responders deemed it literally “the worst”). But since the community-table trend has been increasing across the U.S., how do you make the most of your uninvited company? If you want to avoid or end a chat, keep your body, and especially your eyes, focused on the people you’re with, says Deborah Tannen, Ph.D., a linguistics professor at Georgetown University. Or give a reason (“I don’t mean to be unfriendly, but my friends and I haven’t seen each other in a long time, so we have a lot to catch up on”). And if you’re there with just one person, try sitting next to (not across from) her—when…

Real Atyle Real Voices “Finding my style was trial and error. When I was younger, I would wear something because everyone else was, and I felt horribly awkward the whole time. I eventually had to ask myself, “Why am I doing this to myself?” Once I got past that, I started dressing in what I felt best in and found my wardrobe staples and started to form my look. I think it boils down to how comfortable and confident you are in what you choose to wear… Getting dressed is a creative outlet for me, a way to express my personality and identity. I navigate between extremes: It’s either neutrals or it’s brights, but all of the looks have a hipster-meets-hippie feel… I wear more form-fitting clothing below my waist…

The Symptom: You notice an intense but tolerable strain in your groin area throughout any workout. The Diagnosis: Tight hip flexors, likely due to too much sitting, or perhaps too much repetitive activity without cross-training (looking at you, runners). The Rx: Twice-daily simple hipflexor stretches (as opposed to more complicated ones, like pigeon pose) limit your risk of overextending and potentially pulling the muscle, says Reinold. Try his “true hip flexor stretch”: Kneel upright on one knee, hands on hips, and brace your abs and glutes to tuck your tailbone. Hold for a minute, intensifying the stretch by shifting your hips slightly forward. Switch sides; repeat up to three times. The Symptom: You hear a pop in your hip when you lower into a lunge, do mountain climbers, or stand…

Dairy The Hype for Quitting: For years, milk products were vilified for their fat content. And many people reject dairy as binding or bloating. Reality Check: Cows, come home! The most recent research points to milk, yogurt, and even cheese as being beneficial for weight loss, thanks to satiating fat (yes, you can skip the skim), protein, and nutrients like vitamin D and calcium, which are crucial for burning flab. One review in the International Journal of Obesity found that people who ate the most dairy while on a calorie-restricted diet lost an average 1.6 more pounds from their fat stores than those on low-dairy diets. As for intestinal distress, although less than half of 1 percent of adults are allergic to dairy, many more have some difficulty digesting milk…

MISTAKE #1: DATING BOYS, NOT MEN Despite having a graduate degree and a thriving career, Sarah,* 36, spent much of her twenties and early thirties “dating underachievers who didn’t have their act together,” she admits. Her “sweet, pot-smoking man-children” included a debt-ridden aspiring writer, a fantasysports addict, and a compulsive shopper. Sarah left each relationship within a year. Why the attraction? “They were all really kind guys,” she says. “And they offered an unconditional love that, as a perfectionist, I had a hard time giving to myself. It also took the focus off me and put it on someone who needed to be ‘fixed’ more than I did.” Why It Happens: Being the high-functioning person in a relationship gives you power and control. And that’s kismet for perfectionists, who tend…

Schedule Structure “When my friends had kids, I saw all the tedious, day-to-day things fall on them: signing the field-trip permission forms, bringing diapers to day care. I was concerned that would happen to me when we started a family. So my husband and I created a digital calendar and put every single thing in there, whether it’s running errands, picking something up, or booking the babysitter, and things are assigned fairly.” —Sara Haines, 39, correspondent for ABC News, cohost of The View, and mother of one Create a Sister Circle “I lean on a group of women: my mother, who watches my daughter when I have to fly out on business—my husband passed from cancer three years ago—and some close friends. I call them, they give me advice, they…

MUTED BERRY Understated and endlessly cool, this shade looks best dabbed on like a stain with your fingers, says makeup artist Christopher Ardoff, who created the looks on these pages. LIPSTICK MAY BE SMALL IN SIZE, but it packs major meaning—a significance beyond what a punny shade name and pretty packaging suggest. Just take a look at any one of the many varied roles it’s played over its estimated 5,000-year history. There’s lipstick the protector: In Elizabethan times, women thought wearing it could help ward off death’s crawl. There’s lipstick the rebel: Iconic suffragettes Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Elizabeth Cady Stanton slicked their mouths in red— a look that, at the time, was considered the province of “loose women”—as a form of sartorial protest. But perhaps its most potent, and most…

Growing up, cherry blossoms meant one thing: Spring was here, winter was over. The tree would litter our backyard with celebratory, confetti-like petals. I would scoop them up, revel in their perfect pinkness, and then make a (very) rudimentary perfume by leaving them outside in a bowl of water for a few days. I remember dabbing the faint blend on my wrists and behind my ears, miming what glamorous-to-me women like my aunt did. Flowers made me so dang happy, but I didn’t comprehend then, as a child, why this was—beyond the fact that they looked and smelled super pretty. I know now that they were an emblem of renewal and a beacon of hope, a reminder that even frostbitten Februarys would give way to sunlit Aprils. And I’m not…

MINF & BODY May sound silly, but I want my new apartment to have “good energy.” Any tips? Not silly at all. Have you ever walked into a room after an argument? You can feel the tense vibes! Plus, our homes should be a sacred space where we go to shake off the outside world. Some strategies for shifting your atmosphere toward the positive: Smudging. It’s the traditional Native American ritual of burning dried sage to clear out old energy. The smoke actually changes the composition of the air, and the negative ions released by herbs have been shown to buoy people’s spirits. Try smudge sprays (search Etsy), or infuse the air with sage essential oils for an instant lift. Music. Playing an instrument or a feel-good track can flood…

Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you…lose? Maybe! Researchers at the University of Copenhagen found that legume dishes were more filling than pork and veal meals with similar calorie counts. While meat provides plenty of satisfying protein, beans and peas offer a protein-fiber combo, which keeps your tum happy, authors say. Either way, more satiating meals can prevent junk food cravings, so adding chickpeas to your salad or black beans to your soup may help you slim down. That’s the percentage of women ages 18 to 34 who say that a cheat day helps them stick to an otherwise balanced diet, according to market research firm Mintel. But different splurge strategies may work better for different people. Krista Varady, Ph.D., an associate professor of nutrition…

Say you walk into an IMAX movie about workouts and your body (bear with us for a sec). Which body part would have the leading role? Nope, not your butt. Not your abs. Not your legs either. We’re talking an area most women rarely even consider when exercising: the hips. “Your hips are three-dimensional machines,” says physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist Mike Reinold, founder of Champion Physical Therapy and Performance in Boston. “They may seem like simple balland- socket units, but because tons of muscles cross the front, back, and sides, they’re a massive networking center of power.” You see, your hips are one of the primary force-producing joints, involved in virtually every lower-body movement from squatting down and jumping to running and lifting. As the hinging…

Tried and True Squats. Lunges. Glute bridges. These classic moves are the holy trinity of hot and healthy hips. “When performed together, they’re a trifecta that trains the hip muscles to flex as hard as possible (the bridge), contracts the muscles at their full range of motion, stretching them completely (the squat), and develops control of where the hips are going (the lunge),” says Somerset. Aim for 20 to 50 reps of each daily. 1 / Respect the little guys. Your hip flexors are one huge part of the picture, but they’re not the only muscles that need TLC. Before your workouts, especially lower-body ones, foam-roll your inner thighs and try an activation warm-up to strengthen your external rotators—you need them for 360-degree movement, says physical therapist David Reavy, CEO…

In the past year, I’ve gotten more questions from friends and acquaintances about health headlines they saw online than I ever have before. Can waist trainers really shrink love handles? Taking antibiotics for a cold is okay, right? OMG, do I really not need to floss? I’m no doctor, but as the health editor for Women’s Health, my friends know my BS meter for dubious wellness facts is pretty refined. (For the record, my answers were: no, no, and I wish, but no.) These are savvy, educated women, but they expect that when a headline is shared by someone they know and trust, it’s legit. Or, if it comes from a respected news outlet, that it’s been rigorously fact-checked and not exaggerated. Yet increasingly, that’s not always the case. Dishonest…

I first heard about hygge last fall during a trip to Denmark when a fellow traveler placed a name to the country’s cozy mood. I wasn’t yet aware of hygge’s growing Stateside buzz, but when I returned home, the confluence of a shaky political climate and my personal proclivity to coziness inspired me to post hyggelig things for a month on my Instagram (@janelarkworthy). I wanted to spread good vibes and reconnect with the way I was raised. Although we didn’t call it “hygge,” my father had the fireplace going every day, and Mom shunned overhead lighting in favor of floor and table lamps. My hygge is wearing fleece pants and clogs (I own eight pairs) while driving up to my family’s country home at night, so during the first…

TECHNIQUE #1 EAT IT IN THE RAW Most commercially produced honey is pasteurized and filtered to prevent it from crystallizing, but that process markedly decreases some key nutrients, including probiotics and antioxidants. Raw, unfiltered honey also has a more complex and robust flavor than the processed variety. In a no-bake recipe like this fruit-and-nut-filled dessert, all of those qualities shine. KIWI-COCONUT SQUARES WITH RAW HONEY DRIZZLE In a food processor, combine 2 cups chopped medjool dates and 1. cups raw walnuts and process until a small amount holds together when pinched. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a parchment-lined 9-by-9-inch pan. Wipe out the food processor and add 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight and drained, 1 cup coconut cream, ? cup raw honey,…

NICHOLE MCCALL’S weight problems began in adolescence, with overindulgence in her mom’s Southern cooking. By the time she reached her late teens—and 165 pounds—her eating was more about her emotions than her taste buds. She used food to cope with grief when her father died, and to deaden the pain she felt when her husband (whom she had married at 20) criticized her. It wasn’t until she had divorced, met her second husband, and was pregnant with her second child that she mustered the strength to change. Topping out at 265, she went into early labor; an emergency C-section was followed by an infection that nearly killed her. “I was afraid I’d never see my sweet boys grow into amazing men.” June 2009 Nichole’s first step is to log her…

THE FINALLY! ORGASM It didn’t happen right away, but after some test runs, you finally made it over the edge with a new partner. WHY IT’S AWESOME: Besides your shared victory? You’ve just cracked your O code with a new human being—which bodes well for the next romp, and the next. HOW TO GET IT: Contrary to how orgasms happen in the movies (simultaneously, and 36 seconds into the first time a couple has sex), real-life Os take practice. In fact, women had only a 32 percent chance of climaxing if they’d never hooked up with their partner before, but a 51 percent chance if they’d hooked up six times or more in the past, according to data analyzed by Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D., director of the Social Psychology Graduate Program…

STARTER SET Begin each workout with the corresponding pair of exercises, then continue to the main set. DAY ONE (LOWER BODY): 3 sets each of… Squat Stand with feet shoulderwidth apart, arms bent and holding a dumbbell at each shoulder (a). Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body as low as you can go (b). Press through your heels to return to start. That’s one rep; do 15. Straight-Leg Deadlift Stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, weights in both hands at your thighs (a). Bend forward at your hips to lower your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor, keeping the weights close to your legs (b). Reverse the movement to return to start. That’s one rep; do 15. DAY TWO (UPPER…

WHEN ALL YOU WANNA DO IS... DO THIS INSTEAD Escape to the bathroom to ugly-cry. Take 15 minutes to do something creative—even if it’s just doodling at your desk. Artistic outlets reduce stress and affect the body in ways that are similar to meditation. Down a few glasses of merlot after work when you feel like you dropped the ball on a project. Set up a weekly or monthly meeting with your boss. Instead of speculating about potential criticisms, you’ll get concrete steps to improve your performance. Put a curse on the painfully slow driver who made you late for work. Make your computer password motivating, like 5tay_P0sitiv3. Incorporating upbeat attitudes into your a.m. routine can brighten your day. Stay in bed to hide from your to-do list. Write a…

Lunch at my desk has always presented something of a conflict for visitors: You might score a free beauty product or two (I’ve been a beauty editor for most of my career), but the taste of your salad or sandwich might be sent in an odd direction by the billion or so fragrances in various stages of consideration around my office. Lunch at the desk of my current boss, beauty-wellness-lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow, is, today, much in that vein: We’re surrounded by sample bottles, all candidates for Goop’s next “clean” perfume. Every one of the possibilities is free of the toxins common in conventional fragrances, but jam-packed with incredible-smelling plant essences. Gwyneth’s been spraying her favorites on the wrists of fellow Goop-ers (there are 72 of us) all morning, gauging…

FACIAL + HEALING CRYSTALS Known as “the Goddess” by her clients, New York and Los Angeles aesthetician Dayle Breault amps up her facials with crystals, which she studied while traveling the world. On a personal level, she believes they banish negativity, and studies show that just holding a crystal in the palm of your hand can increase focus and a sense of calm. During an appointment with Breault, clients get a fully customized treatment. To address dull, tired skin (something she sees a lot of), she might apply masks from natural line Epicuren to stimulate blood flow, firm, and brighten, before balancing clients from within by placing shungite and steatite rods in their hands.

Two tough-love truths all of us should hear: 1) People need food donations beyond the holidays—about 13 percent of U.S. households didn’t have enough to eat last year. 2) Those empty calories in the back of our pantries? Not the best picks, since roughly 30 percent of food-pantry patrons have someone at home with diabetes (and hey, health status aside, everyone needs nourishment). We know your heart’s in the right place, so use this handy, healthy guide before you gift. WHOLE GRAINS Whole-wheat pasta or plain oats (with three-plus grams of fiber) are better for blood sugar than white noodles or sweetened oatmeal. NATURAL NUT BUTTERS These spreads (with no added sweeteners or oils) pack protein, fiber, and good fats—the trifecta for lasting satisfaction. CANNED SALMON AND TUNA They can…

More Efficient Workouts Stable, mobile hips allow you to better execute any exercise in its full range of motion—and with force, which maxes out your results. A prime example: squats. Tight hip flexors (sitting with knees butterflied out will hurt so good) may cause your pelvis to run out of space as it lowers, preventing a deep squat—the most effective type. And research shows that because the hip flexors and glutes are opposing muscle groups (as in, one affects the other), tight flexors can limit glute activation in moves like kettlebell swings. That means less calorie burning and less muscle sculpting. No bueno. Reduced Back Pain If you have chronic back pain, chances are you’re not engaging your glutes regularly enough, which goes back to the sitting-induced shortening of the…

In gambling-speak, “to sandbag” is to deceive. In workout-speak, the sandbag may be just as sly. A duffel bag filled with beach dust? How challenging can that be? Very. For starters, the sand is constantly shifting inside, so you (your core, your legs, your whole body) have to work harder to stabilize that resistance. Then you’ve got all the handles attached to the bag. “The variety gives you endless grip options and movement possibilities,” says certified strength and conditioning specialist and physical therapist Dan Ogborn, Ph.D., who created the workout here. “When you can play around with the way you hold and move weight, you engage new muscles and challenge them in alternative planes of motion, which is key to accelerating your results.” Plus, thanks to its size and shape,…

This winter, hygge was on everyone’s lips— and Pinterest boards—even if they weren’t pronouncing it properly. (It’s HOO-guh.) The Danish wellness concept has inspired dozens of books and dominated home decor and was short-listed as the Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Year. It’s often translated as “coziness,” but that’s like saying Charlize Theron is pretty; true, but it overlooks everything else she has going for her. Architectural researcher James Wilson’s interpretation—“dwelling poetically”— may be more apt. Danish anthropologist Jeppe Trolle Linnet, Ph.D., calls it “a situation that is pleasant, relaxed, devoid of demands, where you can be yourself and focus on the here and now.” Denmark’s national emphasis on hygge may explain why it’s the world’s happiest country, outranking other Scandinavian nations with the same societal well-being boosters, like…

Mood MONDAY SUCKS BECAUSE: You think it sucks. Perception is a powerful thing. If you start the week channeling Garfield the cat's catchphrase—“I hate Mondays”—having a noncrappy day will be a challenge. MAKE IT SUCK LESS: Come up with a fun tradition to kick off each week (a fancy latte, grabbing lunch with a pal). With something to look forward to, you can gradually rewrite your mental script. Sleep MONDAY SUCKS BECAUSE: Your circadian rhythms are out of whack. Staying up late on the weekend—and then sleeping in the next day—creates a mini jet lag that’s akin to flying from New York to L.A. on Friday and back again on Sunday. MAKE IT SUCK LESS: Keep weekend sleep/ wake times within an hour of weekday ones. If you veer off…

1 Has a woman ever used a pickup line on you, and did it work? Drew: They might have, but I’m pretty daft, so I probably didn’t realize it was a pickup line, so I really can’t say if it worked. 2 What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for love? Alex: I did this scavenger hunt around New York City once, where I left clues at, like, 20 different locations for my ex to figure out. I didn’t have any real money at the time, but I got her a car service too, so she could do it comfortably. 3 How do you survive a breakup? Alex: I’m absolutely awful with breakups. I get really down, I don’t shut up about it, and I run through every scenario of what…

CHICKEN TIKKA WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEAS HALIBUT WITH POTATOES AND SPROUTS STeAK WITH BEANS AND BROCCOLINI ASIAN TOFU WITH BABY BOK CHOY SAUSAGE AND PEPPER BAKE PAN DO’S Any old rectangle will suffice, right? Wrong. A quality pan has three key features: 1 / A RIM. A short edge or lip is what differentiates a sheet pan from a cookie sheet. You want enough height to keep your ingredients from rolling off and allow juices to accumulate. That moisture lets the food cook quickly at high heat without drying out. 2 / HEAVY METAL. Put cold food into a hot oven and the sudden temperature change can warp a flimsy pan. Look for an 18-gauge aluminum pan. Some have a textured bottom rather than a smooth one for better air…

BALLS IN THE AIR The claim: It supports a healthy immune system and efficient energy levels with broccoli extract and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Doctor says: “All cruciferous veggies are known to help with detoxification and balancing of hormones, decreasing your risk for hormone-dependent cancers, including breast cancer,” says Hutchins. And NAC is one of the building blocks of glutathione, a compound that acts as a powerful antioxidant. WHY AM I SO EFFING TIRED? The claim: Ayurvedic herb ashwaganda and licorice root promote mental sharpness, stamina, and stress tolerance for women who feel drained. Doctor says: Prolonged high stress levels can cause your adrenal glands (which produce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol) to malfunction. The phenomenon is rampant because many women have been burning the candle at both ends for years, says…

POPPY RED With just a touch of pink in the formula, this red reads more modern and fresh, less retro-glam. • Lipstick Angels Launched in 2012 by makeup artist Renata Helfman to provide beauty services—including makeup application, facials, hand massages, and aromatherapy—to cancer patients at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai, the organization is now expanding to New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell in NYC.
