088: Abs after baby with Daisy Andrea Bravo

088: Abs after baby with Daisy Andrea BravoOctober 14, 2021 at 07:24PM Hi friends! Happy Thursday! I’ve got a new episode up on the ‘pod and today I’m chatting with Daisy Andrea Bravo about abs after baby. When you hear “abs after baby,” it’s easy to think about getting a six-pack (or getting your six-pack back) because that’s the messaging that we’re constantly bombarded with online. I’m not talking about the appearance of your abs (even though that can be a nice bonus), but we’re talking about FUNCTION. Restoring core awareness post-pregnancy is a huge piece of the recovery puzzle and I’m excited that Daisy is here to share her insights on one of my favorite fitness topics. We also chat about: – Considerations for prenatal fitness – Why everyone should see a pelvic floor PT – Some of her favorite exercises for…

My First Week With the New Apple Watch Series 7

October 14, 2021 at 06:29PM I’ve always felt like Apple Watch users were in a special club that I wasn’t part of. Everyone who has the device seems to love it, forever touting its ability to track their health and fitness progress and keep them connected while reducing screen time spent on their phones. I’ve never had an Apple Watch before and, admittedly, I haven’t felt the need to get one. I’m not big into working out (though I sometimes wish I was), and I have to stay “plugged in” for my job as a culture writer, so I didn’t think an Apple Watch — or the lifestyle it implies — was for me. But ahead of the release of the Apple Watch Series 7 on October 15, I was offered the chance to try out the new device, and as it turns…

Naomi Osaka Wears the Ultimate Tie-Dye Vacation Tunic in Greece

October 14, 2021 at 06:18PM Tennis player Naomi Osaka is taking some well-deserved R&R time in Mykonos, Greece, and she’s been nice enough to share the sights with her Instagram followers. Unsurprisingly - given her ties to the fashion world - she packed a very stylish suitcase. The athlete first lounged on a yacht in a black linen button-down, embroidered with an eye print. But click through her full album of shots, and you’ll find the major stunner here: a tie-dye yellow-and-blue Alberta Ferretti kaftan that absolutely took our breath away set against the historical backdrop. Naomi completed the look with Aquazzura’s Bougainvillea daffodil lace-up sandals, altogether making for a high-fashion outfit that could be straight out of a travel magazine. Of course, the white, oversize square sunglasses made for a luxurious touch as she basked in the glow of the sunlight. Suffice…

9 Indigenous Designers to Know and Celebrate

October 14, 2021 at 06:10PM This month, we celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day, but the time to support Indigenous designers is year-round. We wanted to highlight some rising talent whose designs are deeply rooted in storytelling and sustainability. Purchasing a piece directly from these brands ensures these designers can properly own their narrative and share the story behind each piece, from the unique materials used to the craft practices of their respective tribes. “For far too long, Native designs have been appropriated by the fashion industry and oftentimes without involving our voices or benefitting any of our communities. When you make the choice to purchase directly from Indigenous creatives, you are investing in our people, our families, and most importantly supporting the continuation of our culture - without the appropriation,” Bethany Yellowtail, the designer behind B. Yellowtail, told us when we spoke to her…

I Spy With My Little Eye a New Tattoo Peeking Through Dove Cameron’s Sexy Cutout Jumpsuit

October 14, 2021 at 05:14PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by DOVE (@dovecameron) Dove Cameron should really start warning us before sharing content on Instagram - y'know, just a friendly IGS PSA like, “Hey followers, I’m about to cause your phone to spontaneously combust! Make sure you’re fully prepared before checking out my new post!” Such a notice would’ve been helpful before the singer showed off her latest #OOTD, because whew, it was too hot to handle on a Thursday morning. In a set of bathroom mirror selfies, Dove wore a black cutout jumpsuit featuring an open back and completely sheer mesh panels. We like to think Dove chose it as a way to fully unveil the tiny, never-before-seen tattoo on her side, which she mysteriously teased back in August. Some internet sleuthing reveals that the sexy one-piece getup hails…

On Oct. 13, the actress and model attended the premiere of Netflix’s The Harder They Fall in Los Angeles where she exuded confidence and fabulousness in a sexy black-and-white set from Lionne Clothing.
