DOWNLOAD THE FREE LOVE MY SHAPE APP AND SCAN THE PAGE Introducing the WATERCOLOR MANICURE Lately, the most fetching polishes are vibrant, bright . . . and see-through. “These formulas are like lip tints: You put them on for a subtle wash of color without a big commitment,” says Elle , a celebrity manicurist in New York City. On our love list are these YSL La Laque Couture Pop Water Translucent Nail Lacquers ($27 each, yslbeautyus.com), glossy stains that come in shades such as red, fuchsia, pink, and orange. Paint on a single coat for a barely there glaze; double up to go bolder. Or, to enhance an opaque polish, layer one on top for a fluorescent effect.…

4PM BEWARE THIS PEAK SNACKING HOUR: LATE AFTERNOONS ARE WHEN YOU’RE MOST VULNERABLE TO STRESSINDUCED EATING ON WEEKDAYS. SOURCE: Appetite Best Cheese News Ever Cheese—yes, cheese— may rev your metabolism. A recent study found that people who ate it had higher levels of butyrate, a fatty acid that may improve metabolism, regulate body weight, and lower cholesterol. You can thank the healthy microbes in your gut; when you eat cheese, it stimulates them to produce more of the beneficial compound. The calories still do matter, so watch the size of your portions, but go ahead and enjoy a little cheese with your meals and officially lose the guilt.

Q“I want to try a highlighter, but what exactly does it do, and where should I use it?” —Vanessa, 35, Mill Valley, California A highlighter gives you a beautiful full-face brightening effect, and I use one on almost every face I work on. But where you apply it is important. Use a creamy pearl highlighter—go with ivory for fair skin, gold for warmer tones—and dab it on the inner corner of your eye, under the outer edge of your brow, on the lower outside corner of your eye, and on the bow of your lip. Then blend with your fingertips. You can wear it alone or follow with bronzer (underneath your cheekbones) and blush (on your apples) to give your features added definition. “I have acne. How do I conceal…

Express workout The VersaClimber may look familiar to you. The machine has been around for a while, but because no one really understood its power to burn fat in record time, we all just ignored the thing. Now, it’s another story—trainers have realized its calorie-torching potential and are enthusiastically spreading their love for this lean machine. “The VersaClimber burns nearly twice the calories of indoor cycling because you’re cranking away with both your upper and lower body at once,” says Jason Walsh, the founder of West Hollywood’s Rise Nation, the first all-climbing studio, whose classes have become huge with many celebs. “Plus, there’s zero momentum, so you’re doing 100 percent of the work the entire time; the machine will go only as fast as you can make it go.” The…

There’s the obvious beauty of traveling alone: waking up when you feel like it, eating wherever you want, visiting every major sight— or none at all. Which is one of the reasons solo voyages are more popular these days than ever. Half of women are more likely to vacation alone than they were five years ago, according to a poll from Booking.com. Besides freedom, traveling on your own adds a sense of adventure to your trip. “Conquering something by yourself is exhilarating, empowering, and extremely fulfilling,” says Sonia Gil, the host of Sonia’s Travels on YouTube. Here’s how to sort through the endless solo trip possibilities and pick your best getaway. Think…

These days, it seems we’re all afraid to eat soy. It’s forbidden in popular eating plans like paleo. It has been blamed for fatigue, stomach disorders, weight gain, hormone problems, and even cancer. No wonder food manufacturers are labeling their products “soy-free.” Soy has become the new gluten. But hold on—don’t get scared by the rumors; soy does have real health and nutrition benefits, top experts say. Here’s the latest science. Truth #1 Soy Doesn’t Cause Breast Cancer. There’s a common misperception that soy contains estrogen and leads to breast cancer, says Anna Taylor, R.D.N., a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic. This false notion started because two isoflavones in soy, genistein and daidzein, are chemically similar to estrogen. That raised concerns among experts that soy might accelerate the growth of…

You’re working to maintain your healthy new weight. But in order to be successful, there’s one important thing you need to know: Just as your size shrinks after dropping pounds, so does your ability to burn calories, unfortunately. Learning what to expect and how to handle those metabolic changes are what will help you stay slim over the long-term, experts say. As you shed pounds, your body enters what scientists call a starvation state, slowing your metabolism to encourage you to regain weight. In a study at the University of Melbourne, levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, were 20 percent higher in participants who lost weight, while levels of hormones associated with suppressing hunger were very low. “The most likely explanation is that this scenario evolved in prehistoric days to…

Lately, the pros in lab coats have been taking another look at how eating affects your skin, and the results are overturning decadesold advice. “When I was doing my training, all of my textbooks said that food had no effect on acne,” says Whitney Bowe, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City, who wasn’t so convinced. A few years ago, after poring over tons of studies on nutrition and skin, Dr. Bowe and her colleagues determined that there was enough evidence to suggest that certain foods do, in fact, make skin react, and they started publishing their discoveries. For instance, several studies showed that consuming milk, especially the fat-free kind, was associated with an increase in blemishes (the science as to why is still being unraveled, though theories blame hormones…

THE DAMAGE All that incidental sun exposure causes microscopic trauma to your collagen and can add up to long-term photo damage. In other words, “it makes your skin look old,” says Dendy Engelman, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. And sunburns? Intense bursts of UV exposure like that not only trigger hyperpigmentation, making your complexion splotchy, but can also cause serious DNA damage and increase your skin cancer risk, says David E. Bank, M.D., a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, New York. In fact, your odds for melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) double if you’ve had five or more sunburns in your lifetime. REHAB IT Start using a retinol cream before bed every night to repair your complexion. “Retinol clears brown spots, reverses cellular damage, and normalizes collagen…

Breathing happens automatically (about 20,160 times a day), so you don’t need to think about it. But if you do, you can unlock stores of energy and unload stress 24/7—plus be stronger, speedier, and more centered during your workouts. To start, here’s a quick refresher: Your diaphragm is supposed to act as the main “breathing muscle,” but this below-the-lungs powerhouse tends to sit somewhat idle in most people. “In fact, it’s partially paralyzed,” says Belisa Vranich, a clinical psychologist and the founder of the Breathing Class, a series of workshops designed to reset healthy breathing patterns To tell if yours is on duty, lie faceup on the floor and place your left hand on your chest and your right hand on your belly.

HEALTHY MEALS THAT ARE READY IN MINUTES NEW, BETTERFOR-YOU PASTAS THE NUTRIENTS FIT WOMEN NEED Mushrooms are kind of a perfect food. They’re rich and meaty, so they taste indulgent; they’re amazingly versatile; and they've got serious nutrition perks. In one recent study, people who ate shiitake mushrooms daily for a month had stronger immune systems. But you don’t have to seek out only this exotic type: Research shows that the antioxidant levels of button mushrooms are just as high. So get creative.

In fact, research shows that people who regularly seek out fresh experiences tend to be more creative and emotionally resilient than those who don’t. With a few exceptions, though, the opportunities to expand your boundaries don’t just land in your lap; you have to seek them out. It can be hard…

“You have such a pretty face. You should really lose some weight, though.” Those words, spoken to Deborah Maloney, 34, by an acquaintance several years ago, still sting. At the time, the 5-foot-7-inch stay-at-home mom in Ronkonkoma, New York, weighed 261 pounds. Ever since she was a kid, Deborah had found solace in food. “I didn’t have much self-confidence, and eating was the way I relieved anxiety and eased stress,” she says. “Ice cream and a big bag of potato chips helped me relax after a long day, and cheese made an appearance at pretty much every meal. I would slather cream cheese on my bagel for breakfast, pile American cheese on my turkey-and-mayo sandwich for lunch, and add tons of mozzarella to the pizza I made for dinner.” But…

60 PERCENTAGE OF CONSUMERS WHO SAY THEY’RE MORE ADVENTUROUS ABOUT FOOD THAN THEY WERE TWO YEARS AGO.* CANDICE PENNEFATHER, a busy real estate broker in New York City, has enough to do without dinner being a hassle.

Most evenings, Candice, 33, and her husband, Nicholas, whip up dinner from Blue Apron, an online company that provides premeasured fixings for meals that are created by chefs and delivered to their door in a refrigerated box. On nights when she heads home from work, starving, at 9:30, Candice uses Seamless, a restaurant delivery service, and sushi arrives at her place as she does. To keep her kitchen stocked with basics, she clicks on items on Instacart,…

Get in, get out, get results. That’s the formula—and the beauty—of this one-and-done workout that you whip through in precisely 20 minutes. Why not 30? Or even 15? Because 20 is the exercise sweet spot at which your focus and form won’t fade and you’ve done enough reps to reshape your body, says celebrity fitness pro Brett Hoebel. “Ten or 15 minutes isn’t enough time for you to hit your peak effort,” he explains. “And most people’s energy starts to drop dramatically after a tough 20-minute session.” So Hoebel devised his 20-Minute Body plan (which is now a book) to make every second count. Each of the six exercises here are “big-bang moves” that burn tons of calories and strengthen your whole body. They’re divvied into two tri sets (with…

Of the four million who take part in OCRs each year, the majority—60 percent— are female, an Active.com survey revealed. And most aren’t superfit. They’re first-timers (66 percent of people who sign up for Warrior Dash events are newbies, say the race directors). “There’s such a variety of events, with different distances and obstacles, that pretty much anyone can participate in one,” says Margaret Schlachter, the editor in chief of MudRunGuide.com and the author of Obstacle Race Training.
