I am thrilled that women are now aiming to eat MORE, not less. I encourage my own members to count their grams in protein daily to help understand how they are often undernourishing their bodies in their overwhelmingly busy lives (and workouts!). But here’s where I’m starting to get concerned.
It seems like 2026 is shaping up to be the year of bringing back brands we’ve missed over the past year or two. Last week, we talked about the return of Sea NYC, and now we’re excited to welcome back one of my favorite jewelry lines: Completed Works.
Holiday décor brings a lot of joy, but eventually it all needs to come down and be put away. Before you start packing, check out our tried-and-true storage and organization tips to make your undecking of the halls stressless.
Winter has a way of sparking wanderlust—whether you’re chasing snow-capped mountains, cozy fireside escapes, or a sunny reprieve from the cold. We asked our contributors to share their favorite winter destinations, and they delivered a mix of local getaways, international adventures, and hidden gems that make the season feel a little warmer.

Two things tell me 2025 was an epic year: I took a fraction of the photos I take in a normal year, and the photos I did take blow me away to look back on. It was a year that was so busy there wasn’t always time to stop to document along the way, and the projects and events we worked on were exciting, challenging, and beautiful.
Aside from the frequent commute for school events, I try to stay in the Commonwealth—and more specifically, in Alexandria. When I find great new places, I love to share them. Everyone knows where I get my hair, nails, and facials, but this year I added a few new local favorites to the mix.
Just after Christmas, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post from a creative friend showing a stack of filled journals. She mentioned morning pages and how grateful she was for them. I’d heard the term before, so I decided to dig in: what exactly are morning pages, and what do you have to do?
The beginning of a new year naturally invites reflection. We look at our spaces with fresh eyes, considering not just how they look, but how well they support what matters to us. Artwork is often part of that quiet background of daily life, yet the way it is framed plays a powerful role in both its protection and its presence.
