1. Summer Style Jelly sandals are making a comeback, and who better than pop superstar Katy Perry to give the quirky classics a high-gloss spin. Her graphic versions, including the Geli Cherry and the Geli Lips ($49 each, katyperrycollections.com), are campy, lightweight, and a reminder not to take things too seriously this season. Luxuriate a bit more in your downtime. Fix a drink from a fancy bottle. Try your quiet soak blissfully afloat. 2. Trick Out Your Bar Here’s a luxe bottle you’ll want to repurpose rather than recycle like other empties. Viva XXXII’s premium tequila (at wallywine.com) is smooth enough to sip and looks expensive but starts at just $40. Plus, the brand donates 10 percent of proceeds to charities like the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty…

“When the weather is warmer, we crave more refreshing scents,” says Olivier Cresp, the master perfumer at fragrance company Firmenich. But what exactly is a refreshing scent? Universally, Cresp says, “that translates to citrus.” If you think that also means fleeting, don’t worry. The combination of citrus and other notes, like woods, musks, and flowers, in these picks amplifies their longevity without making them overpowering.

MEET KRISTIN! The mother of three (shown here with her husband, Jay Cutler) is the author of the new cookbook True Roots. Find Cavallari’s shrimp and scallop linguine recipe at shape.com/truerootsrecipe. It was an amazing summer day: Sunshine was streaming through the open kitchen window; my first son, Camden, a baby at the time, was happy; and we were all together in the house that my husband, Jay, and I had just bought in Nashville. I decided to make pasta with veggies and seafood for lunch. Because I try to eat clean 80 percent of the time—meaning no refined sugar or flour or cow’s milk—I used brown rice linguine and Manchego cheese, which is made from sheep’s milk. I added tomatoes and asparagus and made a sauce with mushrooms…

LET IT OUT Breath work will bring you clarity, motivation, and a mental high. The newest wellness craze is all about inhaling and exhaling, as people flock to breath work classes. Fans say the rhythmic breathing exercises help them make tough decisions and kick-start big changes. “Breathing quiets the thoughts, allowing you to connect with your body and feelings,” says Sara Silverstein, a breath work teacher in Brooklyn, New York. And if a studio isn’t convenient, you can do it on your own. Here’s how to get started. Breathe in Threes There are different types of breath work patterns, but the basic one is the three-part breath. To practice it, inhale sharply into your stomach and again into your chest, then exhale, all through your mouth. Repeat for seven…

discover what you can achieve It started with SoulCycle’s well-timed primal screams and the Class by Taryn Toomey, where “Huh!” is shouted with each rep. Now all sorts of workouts are encouraging us to let loose with whoops, grunts, and screams. “It’s catching on because people are really understanding that mind, body, and soul are all connected,” says Bethany Lyons, of Lyons Den Power Yoga in New York City, where loud sighs are cued after challenging sequences. “Vocalizations offer stress relief.” Better yet, research shows that shouting during exertion improves your muscles’ power output. From now on, let’s hear it: As you exhale on a big effort, turn up the volume.…

Train Together “I’m an ultramarathoner, and each summer we organize a Kids’ Trail Running Club with all their school friends. We meet weekly and start by walking with short run intervals, with the goal of running a 5K at the end of the season. It’s a great confidence booster for the kids and a blissful way for me to do my recovery runs.” —Ash Walsh (@ashruns100s) Go into the woods “Each summer we do a very active camping trip. We go hiking and kayaking, and the kids climb trees. We have rock-throwing contests to see who can make the biggest splash or hit a certain tree. Half the fun is exploring: I wear a step counter, and I walk at least twice as far when camping.” —Sarah Murdock (@northcountrylittles)…

TAKE THE LEAP Conquering plyos in your workouts will translate to real-life grit. I have this mental block with box jumps, thinking I’ll tear up my shins. How do I overcome it?—@crossfitmattyjay, via Instagram Do not fret! There are ways you can prove to yourself that you’re capable of clearing the boxes and any other physical feat that fear is holding you back from. Repetition: Evidence of our ability is often the shot of courage we need. Start by doing multiple jumps onto a box that’s just six inches tall. This repetition will ingrain in you the understanding that you can absolutely do box jumps. Once you’ve got that down, graduate to 12 inches, and so on. (Achieving a box height of 18 to 24 inches warrants a huge…

Behold the sunny smoothie Your picnic sips include coffee or tea (this one is made with matcha) blended with a summery mix of fruit, greens, nut butter, and yogurt. The Breakfast Bash Set out a pancake bar Griddle up a stack ahead of time, and serve with a variety of sweet and savory fillings. Think fruit, veggies, cheese, yogurt, honey, nuts, muesli, cacao nibs, hard-boiled eggs, smoked salmon, herbs, capers, and kimchi. Create your own, or try the combos here. Wine & Cheese Happy Hour A bunch of bites, some rosé, and you’re good to go You’ll want to include hard and soft cheeses, fruit, nuts, crackers, a few dips, and vegetables. Salads on a skewer No dressing, no tossing, and no need for silverware. Make it handheld Wraps…

Strength “Going from filming The Crown to Mission: Impossible was like night and day. I’d never done stunts before. I worked really hard with a trainer so I could run in a scene with Tom [Cruise] without vomiting! The first thing we did was go for a jog, and I was so out of breath that I nearly had a heart attack. I didn’t realize how unfit I was. Now I really like running. Who would have thought that would happen?” Purpose “When I was 18, I spent time in South Africa learning about conflict zones and civil wars. Today I work with an organization called War Child, and it’s the most important thing in my life. It’s the only charity that specializes in helping children affected by conflict.…

The makeup swipes and spills you see above may be thick and deeply pigmented on the page; on your skin, they stay true to their hues but feel weightless and look diaphanous. The magic comes from both the formulas—lighter than ever, easy to blend, moisture packed—and the technique you use to apply them. “It’s just like creating a watercolor painting,” celebrity makeup artist Troy Jensen says. Rather than dipping your paintbrush in a jar of water, though, “you’ll spritz your makeup brush with a facial mist before applying a sheer wash of powder,” he says. It also helps if you prep your canvas: Smooth a serum or a facial oil…

The V-zone is the new T-zone, with a raft of innovative brands offering everything from moisturizers to mists to—ready or not—highlighters, each promising to clean, hydrate, and beautify down below. While a multistep Korean-beauty-level regimen may be taking things too far, experts do say that we can all benefit from a little more love in the region. Here, simple maintenance for staying in good shape and holding undesirables such as ingrown hairs at bay. A Case for Care Most of the new products for the vaginal area are geared toward keeping the skin smooth and healthy overall. There’s New York–based Fur (a chic line that softens pubic hair and is beloved by Emma Watson), Sweden’s DeoDoc, and the Perfect V, to name a few. This last one, a luxe…

gather, cook, eat, repeat The peskiest part of a watermelon may also be the healthiest. The seeds have almost every nutrient you can name—protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, says Elizabeth Somer, R.D.N., the author of Eat Your Way to Happiness. And the taste? Pleasantly nutty. Cook seeds in a hot pan with cooking spray and seasonings for two to five minutes, or roast in the oven at 375° for 10 to 15 minutes. (Or buy them preroasted from nuts.com.) Toss them into salads and granolas and on toasts, or just eat ’em straight.…

nurture your body and brain Tinctures are concentrated extracts of potentially good-for-you herbs and roots that treat everything from stress to GI issues. They’re like herbal teas on steroids, says Mark Moyad, M.D., the author of The Supplement Handbook and a Shape Brain Trust member. “Since the active ingredients are so potent, tinctures can be more powerful than a supplement,” he says. You can find quality options at gaiaherbs.com and mountainroseherbs.com.…

“I just had to be one of the women at my gym who could do a muscle-up.” On my 39th birthday last October, I stood in front of a set of gymnastics rings, my husband ready to take a video of me doing my first muscle-up. I didn’t get it. But I came closer than I ever had. To achieve a muscle-up (one of the events at the annual CrossFit Games Open), you need to not only do a pull-up on the rings but then stabilize and press out there in midair. For the longest time, I just figured that my strength would allow me to muscle my way up on the rings when I competed at the open, so I never practiced it, and I failed year after…

Beach volleyball is kind of a metaphor for life—it’s about not just strength and stamina but also communication and teamwork. And it has taught me that if you just train the body, you’re going to burn out. That’s why it’s so important to learn to be present. I’m always bringing myself back to the moment by acknowledging the wind and paying attention to digging my feet in the sand. There’s something profound about Mother Nature, with its power to ground you—so much more than sitting in your office or car possibly could. When you’re in the present moment, all your anxiety about the future or past goes away, and you can experience things more fully. We have 1,440 minutes each day, and I use that as my filter to…

“I have an enormous desire to influence people and connect with them.” When Evangeline Lilly was 20 years old and juggling two jobs to make ends meet, she totaled her car. With no money to replace it and no way to get to work, she entered a bikini contest; first prize was a one-year lease on a pickup truck. The contest was in just two weeks. She had never modeled and considered herself a serious young woman (she studied political science and international relations at the University of British Columbia) and had no clue what was in store. “But I figured that if I was going to do this, I had better win,” she says. So she hit the gym “like a maniac,” self-tanned her alabaster skin into a…

Follow me and my summer adventures (i.e., lots of grilling in my urban garden) on Instagram @egaeditor. I love an impromptu brainstorming session, especially on one of the first warm spring days. That kind of weather gets you excited about the joys of the warmer months ahead—a hint of what’s to come to fuel anticipation. This feeling is what spurred a group of Shape editors to start chatting about the articles and images in this, our big summer double issue. While we reviewed the pages, I asked which pictures evoked that happy summer feeling the most, and this roundup of images represents the group consensus. Use these visual high lights to set your mood to “summer,” then sit back and settle into the rest of the issue, which is…

My Doubts? Crushed “It’s never too late to start your running journey. I think we should look to the everyday runner. Stand on the sideline of a race, and just see all the people who are out there running—your mind will be changed instantly. I wish I hadn’t been so fearful of it for so long.” Befriending My Body Changed Everything “My love for myself ignited to its truest form when I started running. Finishing my first race made me appreciate what we—my body and I—are capable of.” I Send It to the Social Universe “While training for my first half-marathon, I held myself accountable by putting my goal out there on social media. Once you vocalize it, your community begins to build around you. Project Start (@psyougotthis) is…

At Tiny Moreso, a vegan, gluten-free café in Portland, Oregon, owner Jenn Pereau is turning out luscious cakes and tarts made with good-for-you whole foods like berries, seeds, and the secret weapon in this key lime pie: avocado. The superfood gives the filling a rich and creamy texture that perfectly complements the crust of nuts, dates, sesame, and coconut, so every bite is sweet, zesty, and supersatisfying. And since you never even have to turn on the oven to make it (it’s completely raw!), this pie is the perfect summer solution for your sweet tooth. Avocado–Key Lime Pie START TO FINISH: 5 1?2 hours (5 hours soaking and chilling) 1 cup raw cashews½ cup raw almonds½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, plus more for decorating (optional)¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus…

What your body really needs to function optimally, it turns out, may be gel water, a little-known substance that scientists are just starting to learn about. Also called structured water, this liquid is found in and around plant and animal cells, including our own, says Dana Cohen, M.D., the coauthor of Quench, a book about gel water. “Because most of the water in our cells is in this form, we believe our bodies absorb it quite efficiently,” she says. That means gel water, which we can get from plants like aloe, melons, greens, and chia seeds, offers an extremely effective way to stay hydrated, energized, and healthy. In fact, adding gel water to plain water during exercise or anytime your body is parched may be the best way to…

The best vacations are about more than just visiting a place. They let you become absorbed in the destination’s culture, people, and history. Think of it as the difference between peering through the window of a Jeep on safari and actually setting up camp in the bush with a naturalist. Called experiential travel, it is “the number-one trend in vacations,” says Daniel Levine, a travel trends expert and the founder of the Avant-Guide Institute. “People have done the sightseeing tours, and now they’re looking to take things to a more intimate level.” Experiential trips are also fueled by our growing desire for authenticity. One study found that 74 percent of people would rather spend money on experiences than things—a mind-set that spills over into our travel, encouraging us to…

It all boils down to the fact that exercise increases your mitochondria, the power centers of every cell in your body. The more plentiful and efficient your mitochondria are, the better each cell works—whether that’s a skin cell cranking out plumping collagen or a muscle cell laying down strength-building fibers—and the younger your body looks, feels, and operates. 30 SECONDS Getting Breathless Doing all-out sprints of this duration beat out steady cardio and longer, less intense intervals (four minutes each at 90 percent effort) for boosting the power output of each unit of mitochondria, a new study at Victoria University in Australia found. Aim to incorporate HIIT three times a week. Cardio The key to maxing the mitochondria you have all over is cardio. In fact, endurance exercise can…

Plyos Firm Muscles & Rev Your Speed There are many ways to get a great sweat, but plyometrics have an X factor that a lot of other workouts don’t: Making you supersculpted and very agile. Because plyometrics generally recruit the fast-twitch fibers in your muscles—the same ones you use for sprint speed—and train the nervous system to be more efficient at recruiting those fast-twitch fibers, the exercises are key for tapping greater force from your muscles. In fact, a new study in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine found that female volleyball players who did twice-a-week plyometric workouts (25 to 40 minutes of plyo drills—for example, explosive moves like jumps) significantly improved their sprints, but those who did other conditioning did not. That means your plyo reps are…
