Kara Goldin admits she had some not-so-healthy habits back in the mid-’90s. The busy mother of four was running e-commerce and shopping for AOL and relying heavily on soda to power her through her high-stress days. “I could drink 12 cans a day. I hated water, and I rationalized that at least soda contained a bit of it,” she says. Eventually, a 50-pound weight gain and cystic acne made her reevaluate her diet. When she eliminated soda, the pounds came off and her skin cleared. “I realized that breaking the sweet habit created happiness by getting me back into balance in the way I felt and looked,” she says. That revelation led to the creation of Hint flavored waters, which provide hydration minus sugar and sodium. With high-profile investors…

Gone are the crunchy hairsprays and flaky gels of the past. A new crop of volume-boosting mousses, sprays, and shampoos are here to restore limp, lifeless locks. Add these products and tips to your arsenal, and you’ll get fabulous, fuller-looking hair. Get to the Root of It “To achieve volume, it all starts at the scalp,” says Jonathan Colombini, a L’Oréal Paris consulting hairstylist. Keep your roots clear of oil and debris that could weigh them down by shampooing regularly with a nutrient-dense, volumizing formula, such as Love Beauty and Planet Volume & Bounty Shampoo ($9, drugstores). That doesn’t mean you need to be afraid of conditioner: Today’s formulas are infused with ingredients like amino acids, which will fortify and densify strands without heavy silicones. Look for a thickening…

Remembering last night’s reveries may only require popping vitamin B6, the journal Perceptual and Motor Skills reports. The vitamin, found in beans, fish, and avocado, increases levels of sleep-regulating serotonin, which helps you spend more time in REM sleep (the dreamiest stage) later in the night. Dream recall can promote creative thinking and even problem-solving, says Delphine Oudiette, Ph.D., a sleep researcher in Paris. Maximize the benefit by jotting down your dreams as soon as you wake…

As long as you’ve gotten the all clear from your doctor—a must for all pregnant women, regardless of your fitness level—you can keep on with your gym routine. Regular exercise can help reduce back pain, promote healthy weight gain during pregnancy, and reduce your risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or having a C-section, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. “Of course, you do need to take it a little slower with exercise and listen to your body,” says Diana Ramos, M.D., an adjunct assistant clinical professor in obstetrics and gynecology at the Keck USC School of Medicine. Here’s all the news to stay strong for those nine months. KEEP PUMPING IRON. Research in the journal Physical Activity and Health shows that women who did moderate-intensity resistance…

Heavier Reps Make Stronger Muscles. Full Stop. “If you want to optimize the amount of strength you’re building, then training with lighter weights won’t cut it,” says Nathaniel Jenkins, Ph.D., an exercise scientist at Oklahoma State University. “You’ll need to include heavy-load training, at weights of at least 75 percent of your one-rep max.” His research found that exercisers who lifted heavier weights to failure for three sets of low reps and those who lifted lighter weights to failure for three sets of high reps saw similar changes in muscle size. “But heavy lifting caused greater increases in strength,” Jenkins says. That’s because heavy loads more effectively stimulate your motor neurons, cells that send electrical signals to muscles. As a result, you’re training your central nervous system to generate…

It might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but delayed aging is now a reality, thanks to new advances in science and research. Americans are staying younger longer, found a recent study from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. “We measured people’s biological age through different markers of good health and found that the pace of aging has slowed over the past 20 years,” explains researcher Eileen M. Crimmins, Ph.D. People are not just living longer but also enjoying more years of prime mental and physical vitality, she says. While genetics plays a role in how fast we age, new research shows behavioral changes also make an impact. “There’s a lot we can control through diet, exercise, and lifestyle,” says S. Jay Olshan sky, Ph.D., a…

Mine is of shampoo. A green bottle with a bright, herbal scent. Just thinking about it instantly tosses me back in time: the bathroom in the Philadelphia townhouse where I grew up, the bottle perched on the side of the tub, and the subtle, refreshing scent that lingered after every shampoo. That’s a good beauty memory. So are the ones that I’ve created as an adult. There’s the lip balm that will always remind me of a spur-of-the-moment long-weekend visit to Dublin and the multipurpose bronzer that was my sole makeup companion on a recent diving trip. That balm had a flattering light tint, and it kept my lips hydrated; the bronzer was beautifully packaged and gave me just the right amount of vacation glow. When I use them…

Call it travel insurance for your workout: More and more hotels—like the US Grant Hotel in San Diego, the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, W Hotels nationwide, and select Kimpton hotels—are giving guests the option to summon trainers or yogis for one-on-one sessions. “The concept of in-room personal training was a novelty five years ago, but now people embrace the idea of working out outside the walls of a hotel gym,” says Vanessa Martin, the founder of Strength in Numbers, which links trainers to hotels (you book through the concierge).

How do you mentally push yourself when you’re lifting something that’s crazy heavy? —@snf166 via Instagram The greater the load, the greater the focus needed. As you start to train with heavier weights, this focus will be as important as your physical output in the lift. Your body can’t do it without the mind. There are two mental tactics that I use to build this focus. They’ve really been game changers when I go big with my lifts. 1. Cue an inner dialogue. For me, it’s talking through the physical steps, even though I get some funny looks at the gym when I say them out loud. When I’m squatting with a heavy barbell—that’s anything over 200 pounds for me these days—I say “Big toe, big toe.” This reminds…

1. Tread Brightly A staple shoe in every fashionista’s wardrobe just got a bespoke update: The Péro Adidas Stan Smith sneakers (180thestore.com) are the result of a collaboration with designer Aneeth Arora, who added delicate blooms handcrafted from upcycled materials.

The idea of bugs hanging out on your face is the stuff of nightmares. But that’s what’s happening, at least on a microscopic level—and it’s actually the dream scenario. Your gut has its microbiome—the 100 or so trillion bacteria lining your GI tract that are involved in everything from brain function to your weight—and now researchers have found that skin houses its own special bacterial blend vital to its health. About a trillion strong, the microbes on skin differ from those in the gut as well as from person to person. “Just as cacti grow naturally in Arizona but not the Midwest, every bacteria has an environment where it thrives,” says dermatologist Whitney Bowe, M.D., the author of The Beauty of Dirty Skin. Getting to Know Your Skin’s Bacteria…

1. Plaid + Herringbone Contrasting patterns in the same hues make for a mix that’s creative but in sync. A classic checked blazer looks especially sharp. 2 Shearling + Coated Denim Play with opposites by pairing casual jeans with an extravagant shearling jacket.

The report: Self-exams aren’t worth doing. BREAK IT DOWN: Using two fingers and moving in a circular pattern to check your breasts for lumps and other changes once a month is no longer officially recommended. “Self-exams weren’t getting patients diagnosed any earlier, which is key for reducing breast cancer mortality,” says Mariana Chavez Mac Gregor, M.D., of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Instead, the focus has shifted to breast health awareness, she says. “You should know what’s normal for you—the symmetry of your breasts, what the skin and nipples look like, and what they feel like,” Dr. Mac Gregor says. “If you know that, you’ll know if there’s something abnormal, like lesions or lumps.” The report: Antiperspirants are risky. BREAK IT DOWN: Natural deodorants are having…

You have to move with both sharp speed and elegant slowness in ballet. It’s a full-body workout that demands flexibility and strength. You are constantly pulling up through your core to maintain proper posture even as your muscles burn. You’re sweating. Your heart is pounding. And yet your mind empties as you embody the intricate combinations. When you’re completely in the moment, it’s as if you’re flying. I started dancing at 5 years old and have never stopped. I trained in ballet, modern, jazz, and tap but always stayed with ballet because it was the most physically and mentally challenging for me. I studied en pointe for 10 years but was never the textbook ballerina: My feet, ankles, spine, and hips weren’t flexible enough. I was never able to…

Plenty of people want to be more Zen, but sitting cross-legged on a rubber yoga mat doesn’t resonate with everyone. Adding nature to the mix allows you to be more mindful by engaging and nourishing your senses in a way that might not be possible indoors. Plus, trees release phytoncides, airborne chemicals that can boost our immune system and have a direct effect on our nervous system—studies show they can lower our blood pressure and bring down cortisol levels To try a full-body nature meditation, go for a walk in the woods or your local park and focus on one sense at a time. Look at the drifting clouds above; breathe in the greenery; feel the temperature of the sun on your skin and the texture of the roots…

For Me, It’s Personal “Growing up, there were many times when I didn’t know if we were going to be able to afford to eat. We relied on lunch programs and food stamps. Today one in eight Americans faces hunger or food insecurity. Most of us don’t realize that people can be hardworking and still struggle to put food on the table. And when children go to school hungry, they’re not going to learn as well. That’s why I’m so happy to be working with Feeding America. I’ve served meals with them to kids at the Para Los Niños charter school in Los Angeles and to women at the Downtown Women’s Center. It has truly enriched my life.” Start With the Good Stuff “Feeding America puts an emphasis on…
