POUR SOME java into a bottle of romantic florals like rose or jasmine, and the result is intriguing and intoxicating. That’s because the scents of coffee and rose, for example, couldn’t be more different, says Nathalie Koobus, the perfumer who created the Molton Brown scent. Flowers are sweet, fresh, and romantic; coffee is sharp and invigorating. “But they both can make you feel confident, powerful, and even sensual and mysterious,” Koobus says. Get a jolt from Tom Ford Café Rose Eau de Parfum ($240, tomford.com), Molton Brown Rosa Absolute Eau de Parfum ($160, moltonbrown.com), and Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Black Opium Eau de Parfum ($94, yslbeauty.com).…

Disruptions of your circadian rhythm, which can result from poor sleep, may play a role in breast cancer, scientists have discovered. “Factors like light or noise can suppress melatonin at night, when levels are supposed to be high. The body responds by releasing estrogen from the ovaries at times of day it normally wouldn’t,” says Carla Finkielstein, Ph.D., an associate professor at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. In some cases, the constant, unscheduled release of hormones like this could increase cancer risk. Occasional bad nights are nothing to worry about, but anything that throws off your z’s chronically is. These three tips will help you get the nightly rest you need. Shut Down Disruptions Waking up more than twice a night is associated with a 21 percent…

Tahini Toast With Lemon and Honey “Let kids mix and match their toppings—almond or peanut butter works here too,” Copeland says. Toast 4 slices thick-cut bread and brush evenly with butter. Spread ¼ cup tahini on the toast, and drizzle with honey or top with a healthy dollop of orange marmalade, then sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Squeeze with 1 lemon, quartered. Serves 4 Raw Cocoa-Honey Anytime Shake “This is my kids’ absolute favorite. It feels indulgent, and they’re getting protein and hydration.” Blend 1 large banana, ⅓ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon raw coconut oil, 1 tablespoon raw honey, 1¼ cups milk (whole or almond), and a pinch each of fine sea salt and cinnamon in a blender until smooth.

Be Strong + Well These words describe exactly how I want to feel every day and I’ll bet you do too. That’s why we created a new, expanded section in Shape called Be Strong + Well (starting on page 55). It’s a little longer than the other sections, and it’s a little different. Let me explain. I see Be Strong + Well as the heart of Shape and the core goal of this brand: to help you live your happiest, healthiest life. Instead of offering a mix of columns and articles on different wellness topics, we’re choosing one subject that’s essential to well-being and exploring it from many angles. For example, in this issue, we take a closer look at sleep because without it there is no wellness, only groggy,…

Unlike looks that sacrifice hair health (see perms and platinum blonde dye jobs), a supershiny style can be achieved only when hair is in tip-top shape. “We call it glass hair because it reflects so much light—dull, damaged hair can’t do this,” celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend says. “Healthy hair has an outer cuticle layer that lies flat, which reflects light and is strong enough to withstand the hot tools you’ll need to make it sleek.” Here’s the plan. Hydrate Gently Before you shower, apply a preshampoo deep conditioner, like Jess & Lou 5 Minute ResQ Hair Therapy ($50, jessandloubeauty.com), to dry hair. After five minutes, rinse and follow your usual shampoo-and-conditioner routine. “Comb the conditioner through hair until every strand is coated. Be sure to rinse really well; leftover…

It might seem surprising that a heart-pounding workout can help you sleep, but it’s true. “We know exercise increases deep sleep and reduces anxiety,” says Kelly G. Baron, Ph.D., the director of behavioral sleep medicine at the University of Utah. Intense exercise temporarily raises levels of the stress hormone cortisol, but doing it regularly has been shown to decrease cortisol and increase de-stressing hormones (like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) postworkout—all of which will help put your body in a ready-to-rest state. What’s optimal? “Incorporating both aerobic and resistance training—the more exercise the better,” Baron says: Aiming for 20 to 30 minutes most days is an effective starting dose. Fitter Body, Sounder Sleep in 8 Moves THERE’S NO NEED TO OVERTHINK IT: The more consistent you are with exercise,…

VEGETABLES NOT ONLY bring a variety of flavors, textures, and colors to your meals but also are surprisingly simple to prep, says chef Abra Berens, the author of Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables. “You can use virtually any cooking technique to bring out their complex notes,” she says. “The most exciting meals happen when you go to the market without a plan and choose the vegetables that look freshest. That makes for truly creative dishes.” With all their vitamins, minerals, and fiber, vegetables are also the superstars of your plate. “They are far more than just a side; that’s the main thing I try to convey to people,” Berens says. Create a meal of a few different kinds—try roasted squash with a shaved-cauliflower salad and some hearty sautéed greens—and…

Paris, Texas Rim a rocks glass with a lime wedge, and dip in chili salt (made with equal parts chili powder and kosher salt).

“THE OUTDOORS doesn’t care what my hair looks like or what I have on my feet.”—Chaya Harris, 34, Boston I’ve always been outdoorsy. I grew up camping with my family, and I hike as often as I can. One day I discovered Outdoor Afro on the internet—black people getting out in nature! I was like, Where do I sign up? Hit the trail running When I started leading the Boston branch of Outdoor Afro three years ago, my first nature walk turned out to be just my parents and me. Now there are over 900 people in our Meetup group. Take it to a higher level When I trained to climb Mount Kilimanjaro last year, I hiked eight to 10 miles on weekends. There’s a hill not far from my…

Chime to Unwind Next time you sit down to meditate, pull out this Bel by 3rd Ritual kit ($175, 3rdritual.com). Stick one of the three brass pins into the coconut wax candle, and light up.

After a decade giving facials to a loyal clientele, Britta Plug was frustrated. “Cleanse, exfoliate, extract, mask, repeat—it seemed so redundant, as if I wasn’t really making progress with my clients,” says Plug, an aesthetician in New York City and Los Angeles. But more medical-grade offerings, like microdermabrasion and peels, didn’t jibe with her natural, holistic approach—or with what clients wanted. Plug noticed that even women who saw doctors for laser procedures and injections were searching for less harsh alternatives for aging and other issues. “They were doing yoga, eating organic, and using holistic skin-care products. And they said, ‘Actually, I want my beauty practices to line up with the rest of my lifestyle,’” Plug says. So she cofounded Wildling, a skin-care company, with licensed acupuncturist Gianna De La…
