DAZZLE BY DAY Waiting till dark to pull out a sequined showstopper is a crying shame. And since rules are meant to be broken, the sparkly trend is rebelling against its evening-only status and seizing the day, thanks to softer, mermaid-inspired hues that create a dreamy ripple of glints under sunlight. Use the shimmer to reawaken a fitted white tee or laid-back denim. On model: Cynthia Rowley Adelai Cascade skirt ($595, cynthiarowley.com). Topshop Funky Sequin fanny pack ($45, us.topshop.com). Wilfred Free for Aritzia Leila bodysuit ($50, aritzia.com). —Jenn Barthole…

GREENS SO FRESH, IT’S AS IF YOU PICKED THEM YOURSELF Thanks to a few forward-thinking growers, we can now buy greens at the supermarket with their roots still attached for maximum freshness. They last longer (up to 18 days), retain more nutrients, and even taste better, says chef Mareya Ibrahim, the founder of EatCleaner.com. This baby romaine is from Pete’s Living Greens; just snip off what you need, and the rest will flourish in your fridge. —Marnie Soman Schwartz…

“As much as I love eating, I’m obsessed with feeding people and caring for them through food. So my perfect meal is one I make myself and enjoy with friends and family. I’ll send a group text telling everyone to meet me in the park, where three crazy-colored blankets, a huge spread, and plenty of rosé await them. I love side dishes, like roasted carrots, okra tossed in salt and paprika, and sweet corn on the cob. I also bring lots of dips for snacking, and lemon bars are one of many desserts. I might also bake a cake for whosever birthday has come or gone, plus Milk Bar’s corn cookies, which are one of my favorite treats because of their sweet and salty notes. My friends are well…

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOOD FOR YOU Copper is a precious metal for your health, we’re learning, and it’s showing up in everything from supplements to skin care. The do-it-all mineral kills bacteria, for one, and may boost collagen to reduce wrinkles. Try it yourself in Niod Copper Amino Isolate Serum (from $60, niod.com) and Tommie Copper compression gear (from $25, tommiecopper.com), made with a copper weave to fight odor. —Mara Santilli…

The 1-hour Window “Seconds after you touch or inhale an allergen, your body produces histamines, chemicals released by immune cells. Symptoms can then develop within 20 minutes,” Dr. Parikh says. Take an antihistamine an hour before exposure, though, and you can block that process and stay virtually symptom-free. The Cocktail Effect “Alcohol increases inflammation in parts of the body affected by an allergy, worsening symptoms,” Dr. Parikh says. Plus, the fermentation process used to make booze can produce more histamines. Lay off until you’re better. The Exercise Issue “Some people find that cardio temporarily heightens sneezing and itching, since it boosts circulation to irritated areas,” Dr. Parikh says. Try low-key workouts like yoga, or exercise indoors or at night, when the pollen count is lower. The Humidity Factor A…

about living in the moment, but only a few master the experience. Kate Mara is one of them. “I’m not a person who plans ahead,” says the actor, 35. “I enjoy the here and now as much as I can. I’m at my best when I’m not worrying about the future.” That strategy is clearly a winning one, because Kate’s life these days is pretty fantastic. Last summer she married her boyfriend of two years, actor Jamie Bell, becoming stepmother to his 4-year-old son. “I love knowing that I have a partner for life,” Kate says. “I feel very proud to call Jamie my husband and to have made that commitment to him.” Her career is also soaring. Kate is starring in the movie Chappaquiddick, and she’s playing a…

Disrupting your familiar existence by, say, taking a sabbatical from work to travel, starting your own business, or moving cross-country is one of the most exhilarating and rewarding things you’ll do. Ever. “Making a big change can increase your sense of life’s possibilities, and as you rise to new challenges, this can also increase your resilience,” says Rick Hanson, Ph.D., a psychologist and the author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness. “Bold moves can also lead to rapid personal growth, can build your personal independence and confidence, and can add more excitement to your life.” The leap of faith necessary to do something totally different has other powerful effects on the brain, Hanson adds. “Big changes call for a creative, even playful…

How Can I Psych Myself up to Go As Hard As Possible During My Intervals? —Jessica DiPiazza, via Facebook Instead of being nervous about doing your work sets, get excited to see how far you can push yourself each time. The thing about HIIT is that it allows you to get stronger not just physically but psychologically. It builds your mental grit in a way you likely haven’t experienced. So approach the challenge in a big-picture way—use something I call the “wonder line.” Wonder if you can get just one more rep in before time’s up or achieve that next progression in the movement, whether that’s adding an incline to your sprints or jumps to your squats. This is the true magic of a HIIT routine—once your mind is…

A heavy bag is a sweat fest waiting to happen: “Do three-minute all-out rounds, switching it up each minute between speed punches, power shots [full-force with mini pauses], and more controlled two- or three-punch combos,” says Milan Costich, the founder of Prevail Boxing studio in Los Angeles. Between rounds (do three total), take 30 seconds to bounce in your (fists up) boxing stance as you do slips and weaves. “When you pair a HIIT format with 4 the intention behind boxing, you get a killer workout and a champion mind-set,” Costich says.…

GO TO LASH REHAB You’ve curled them, coated them, and extended them, but have you ever actually cared for your lashes? “They need looking after,” insists Vanita Parti, the founder of Blink Brow Bar London, who says that neglect can result in dry, stumpy hairs or “holes” (bald patches) in the lash line. Show your love by using a gentle micellar water or cleanser, like Beauty Garde Oil-Free Lash & Brow Shampoo ($15, beautygarde.com), to remove makeup, and take a month off after every three extension applications. —Didi Gluck…

It starts with embracing the crazy, Ayesha says. As a Food Network host, a cookbook author, an entrepreneur, a mom of two (with number three on the way), the wife to one lucky Golden State Warriors star (Stephen Curry), and the new face of CoverGirl, Ayesha, 29, is an expert in chaos. “I find beauty in the mess,” she says. “No two days are the same for us.” Family time in some form, however, is the one constant amid the storm, and she says it brings her the most fulfillment. In fact, the joy she derives from feeding those she loves truly helps her glow. Her signature healthy comfort food—a spice-rubbed chicken with parsley-mint sauce and veggies (find the recipe in her cookbook, The Seasoned Life)—is packed with antioxidants,…

POSED “When you cover up Priyanka Chopra’s lips and just look at her eyes, you can see they’re not engaged,” Wood says. SHY Gal Gadot’s soft, almost-closed lips, combined with her chin tilted down and eyes looking up, create a bashful expression. PLAYFUL The way Jourdan Dunn is leaning on her hand—plus her wide, tooth-flashing grin—conveys that she’s having a good time.…

Asked what makes her cooking so incredible, this chef doesn’t miss a beat: her childhood in Mexico City. She’s tapping and twisting those memories to create eye-opening, modern Mexican dishes that have gained a huge fan following (she won the 2016 Rising Star Chef of the Year award from the James Beard Foundation at age 25) and put New York City restaurants Cosme and Atla, where she’s the chef and a partner, on everyone’s most-beloved list. We chatted with Soto-Innes about starting culinary classes at age 5(!), her pre-dinner routine, and what feeds her passion. —Mara Santilli 1 The cooking gene: “My great-grandmother had culinary training, my grandmother managed a bakery, and my mother dreamed of being a chef. She became a lawyer but always took cooking classes, and…

When your fixings get roasted, salad takes on a deeper flavor, color, and texture. And the prep couldn’t be easier: Layer veggies on a sheet pan, slide it in a hot oven, then top with fresh ingredients to keep it like a salad. Done: a meal-worthy dish with dimension and staying power. —Allison Day Sheet-Pan Thai Salad START TO FINISH: 35 minutes 7 ounces extra-firm tofu, cubed 1½ pounds baby bok choy, halved 2 yellow peppers, sliced into strips 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce ⅓ cup natural peanut or almond butter 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons red or green Thai curry paste ¼ cup water 1 head romaine, shredded 2 cups bean sprouts 1 mango, sliced into matchsticks 1 red…

When something upsetting happens, the best way to handle it is to deal with the negative feelings and let them go. “Not processing emotions appropriately can lead to depression or even high blood pressure,” says Mithu Storoni, M.D., Ph.D., the author of Stress-Proof. The most effective ways to de-stress, though, aren’t always the most obvious. Try one or all of these proven methods to reset and relax. 1 Do Something Else After a tense experience, cue up a smartphone game. They make your brain less reactive to stress. This will help you detach emotionally so you can solve the problem rationally or move past it. Puzzles and memory games, like Tetris, work best. 2 Work Out Slower Light exercise may be better than intense exercise at reducing anxiety after…

THERE’S A TRAINER IN THOSE EARBUDS The latest smart headphones stream workouts to your ears with real-time coaching, so there’s no chance of slacking off. Gadgets like the Jabra Elite Sport ($249, jabra.com) and Vi AI Personal Trainer ($199, getvi.com) have biosensors inside their buds that detect heart rate, cadence, calories burned, and more. As you move, you get feedback: Jabra will ask you to “step up your pace” if you haven’t hit the right heart rate zone; Vi will tell you when “you’re close to setting a personal best.” Even better? There’s no scheduling and zero awkward small talk. —Mirel Ketchiff…

Jessica Brittell Co-owner of Velour, a vintage boutique in Newberg, Oregon, with sons (from left) Obadiah, Nekoda, and Judah My body is the same size as it was before I had kids, but I’ve never been more surprised by its strength. It’s an empowering feeling. When I’m juggling all three, a kid in each arm, basically hoisting (or pushing or pulling) 60-plus pounds, I realize becoming a mom has helped me find hidden superpowers that were locked away.

DAIRY Activities like plyometrics and sprints cause your bones to release calcium. Help them rebuild stronger by eating calcium-rich foods like yogurt and cheese. NUTS & BEANS Your body uses up stores of B vitamins producing the workout energy you need. Refill your tank with almonds (which have B2) or chickpeas (B6). SEAFOOD Fish is rich in selenium, which helps support your body’s natural antioxidant abilities—important, since a hard workout ups the potentially cell-damaging free radicals in your system. CITRUS Get in tons of antioxidants like vitamin C to counterbalance the temporary dip in immunity of workout stress. To cue intervals off the clock: Go hard until your breathing is heavier but controlled, then back off until your breathing calms. Now you’re ready for the next set.—Leon Joseph, group…

SHAPE. It’s such a flexible word. Which makes it the perfect title for a magazine about healthy living, a concept that has changed dramatically since we launched 37 years ago. The magazine (remember, there was no Web or social media back in those days) debuted with the mission of reflecting the new and growing interest in exercise culture. This was the 1980s, and a generation of women, outfitted in leotards and sweatbands, were just starting to grapevine and leg-lift their way to fitter, trimmer physiques. I was one of them. In my early teens, exiled from field hockey—I was really bad at it—I signed up for Jane Fonda aerobics to fulfill my school’s activity requirement (yes, aerobics was an option). This kicked off my long, and at times fraught,…

Although hair starts as a living cell, the part you see is actually a dead fiber, which naturally degrades with time, says Michelle Blaisure, a certified trichologist (hair and scalp specialist) for Bosley Professional Strength hair care. Technically, hair fibers can’t be rebuilt after they’ve left the follicle, but you can fortify and protect the hair’s outer cuticle layer with proper care. The result: silkier and healthier-looking strands overall. Wipe the Slate Clean “Dry shampoos are great for a second or third day, but they don’t take the place of a shampoo,” Blaisure says. “There’s a whole microbiome of bacteria on the scalp that needs to be cleansed on a regular basis; otherwise you’ll get buildup that could affect growth.” When you do cleanse, which should be at least…

Role Models “I love this one instructor at SoulCycle. She used to be on The Biggest Loser. She won her season, and now she’s a SoulCycle instructor! I keep her in my world because she understands how I feel in a voluptuous body.” Grand Intentions “In light of African-American Women’s Fitness Month [April], I recently began trying to do something active five days a week and posting about it on Instagram [@daniebb3]. My followers keep me accountable. I even trained for a Spartan Race last month!” Breaking Mental Barriers “For years I thought I couldn’t do a burpee because the pain of pushing myself up made me cry. That wasn’t serving me well, so I let it go, and now I can do 10 without stopping.” Grit “Consistency is…

In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a boil. Place ⅓ of the white parts of the onions in a jar or a small bowl, pour pickling liquid over them, and set aside for at least 1 hour. 2. Place a pan over medium heat; when warm, add the bacon.

Freshly pressed juices, unexpected spices, and bright herbs turn the classic into a vibrant, antioxidant-packed cocktail you want to sip all spring and beyond. For even more of a twist, experiment with a range of liquors, says Kendall Atkerson, the beverage director at Taco Dumbo in the Pennsy food hall in New York City, who created the colorful combos here. To make your perfect reimagined margarita: Combine 1½ ounces liquor + 2 ounces juice + ½ ounce Cointreau (to balance out all those flavors), shake over ice for 6 seconds, and strain into a prepped glass (dip the rim in lime juice and agave, followed by ground herbs or freeze-dried fruit). Now that you’ve got this down, go ahead and play around. STEP 1 Start with a shot of…

“Every Wednesday we chat with our berry provider,” Gallucci says. “She tells us what’s at peak flavor, and we add it to our cakes and jams.” Five ingredients reign supreme at Sweet Laurel in Los Angeles: almond flour, coconut oil, organic eggs, Himalayan pink salt, and 100 percent maple syrup. They’re the foundation for everything that comes out of the shop’s busy ovens. “These work so well together, while the flavor of each still shines through,” Thomas says. With that framework in place, the creative fun begins. The bakers enhance recipes with high-quality ingredients, hitting the farmers market to hunt down the juiciest, ripest produce. “Seasons have a big impact on our menu, inspiring treats like our fresh strawberry tart,” Thomas says. One thing the two won’t be shopping…

FOR ENERGY Blue Light Exposure to blue light during the day can make you feel more alert and improve reaction time, focus, and productivity, according to research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “Photo receptors in the eye, which link to the areas of the brain that control alertness, are most sensitive to blue light. Therefore, when blue light hits them, the receptors set off activity in those brain regions, making you more energized,” says Shadab A. Rahman, Ph.D., the study’s author. Another perk: Daytime exposure may protect your z’s from the disruptive effects of blue light at night, a study from Uppsala University in Sweden found. “When you get a lot of bright light during the day, levels of melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy, are…

If there’s ever been a workout that’s demonstrated to deliver fast, insane results, it’s high-intensity interval training like Tabata (go all out for 20 seconds, rest for 10, repeat eight times total) and other as-many-reps-as-possible routines. And those benefits: increased cardio capacity, stronger muscles, lower blood pressure, and less body fat. The fitness gains are likely due to the heart’s enhanced pumping capacity, says Martin Gibala, Ph.D., the author of The One-Minute Workout. Your heart has to not only gun it but also pump more blood per beat—a combo that makes it grow stronger, so you can go harder. As for the body-fat effect: It’s about more than just the calorie burn. High intensities also let loose a surge of fat-mobilizing hormones, freeing body fat to be used as…

Much is made of the pounding that HIIT can place on the body, but these workouts don’t have to be high impact. Go with the cardio powerhouses below for HIIT that’s free of all jolts. Rower Row at top speed for 500 meters, using enough resistance so you’re not falling off the seat, then go slow for a minute. “Repeat three to five times for a solid workout,” says instructor Leon Joseph at Equinox in New York City. You’ll also work back muscles for better posture. Studio Cycle Warm up, then start adding resistance “until it feels like you’re climbing a thick, juicy hill,” says SoulCycle instructor Bevin Prince. “Push as fast and as hard as you can for 20 seconds, then walk it out for 20.” Repeat that…

I Found My Voice When… “I discovered YouTube in 2010. At the time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my future. I posted a video for fun, and it made me really happy. The idea of people around the world relating to what I was saying made me feel less alone.” I’m All About Helping Others “I started a social campaign called #GirlLove to teach girls and women that it’s cool to support one another. Together, we can put an end to the idea that women have to be harshly competitive. I’ve done videos with Michelle Obama and Charlize Theron to help spread that message. I also worked with the global organization We Day to create #GirlLove Rafiki bracelets. We raised enough money to send 1,000…
