Dealing with dry skin isn’t anything particularly new for me. Yet, it’s still a constant challenge to keep my hands smooth. They always feel chapped and rough like sandpaper, especially now that the cold weather is finally here to stay. While looking for ways to give my skin hydration, I came across the Aveeno Skin Relief Repairing Hand Mask. More than 30,000 Amazon shoppers bought these moisturizing gloves in the last month to repair dry, cracked skin. Fortunately, this four pack is marked down to $15, making them just $4 apiece right now — and considering Jennifer Aniston is a…

Living in a walkable city takes a major toll on my feet. That’s why I’m always prone to choose footwear with tons of cushion as much as possible. Yet, even the most comfortable of shoes still can’t totally get rid of soreness at the end of the day. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to keep your feet comfortable on a daily basis, such as Valsole’s Heavy Duty Support Pain Relief Orthotics. These shoe inserts deliver comfort and support for standing or walking all day; plus, they’re on sale for $23 at Amazon (thanks to an on-site coupon) right now…

Many people add ‘eat healthier’ to their New Year’s resolutions, but as a registered dietitian, I’m always looking for practical ways to stay healthy and elevate my nutrition year-round. Two of my main focus areas: hitting my daily protein goals and increasing my intake of fruit and vegetables. These aren’t always easy to achieve, but that’s where my go-to kitchen staples come in. From whipping up protein-packed shakes in my Vitamix to cooking cleaner in my Caraway pans, everyday essentials help me stay on track and simplify eating healthier. But, there’s one product missing in my kitchen line-up: the Ninja…

Choosing the right pair of shoes can make a world of difference. Take it from nurses, who constantly spend long periods of time on their feet. They rely on cushy sneakers to manage the foot pain during long shifts. Needless to say, these medical professionals know a thing or two about solid kicks with enough cushion and support for all day wear. If you’re looking for such a pair, look no further than the Allswift ActiveEase sneakers, which are nurse-approved and a cheaper alternative to Hoka’s nearly $200 shoes. Shoppers say they’re “just as comfortable” as their plush counterparts, and…

I like to sweat. In fact, I crave that “looks like you were caught in a rainstorm” type of sweat where you’re drenched but magically energized, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Typically, I prefer sweat-inducing activities like running or yoga, but I’ve been a long-time fan of infrared saunas. It may age me, but I can recall sweating it out in the brand new HigherDose infrared saunas at the ABC Carpet & Home store in NYC circa 2016. The concept was new: book a time to detox and relax while sweating in a small infrared sauna. From…

As a long-distance runner who just ran two marathons this fall, and as Shape’s senior editor, it’s safe to say that testing running shoes is my specialty. Right now, I’ve got 25-plus pairs of sneakers in my closet, all in a very specific rotation that allows me to get plenty of miles in each of them so that our site has the best reviews for y’all. Recently, I wrote about the absolute best Hoka shoes available, which is why I’m so excited to say my favorite pair for achy joints is on sale now for Cyber Monday.The Hoka Bondi 8s…

Truth time: I’ve always been (more than) a little petrified of retinol. Any time I’ve used it, it’s caused immediate skin flare ups, irritation, and scaly patches all over my face. I’m now 44 years old (45 in January), and retinol has stayed out of my evening skincare routine. Until now, that is. Enter the Osea Dream Night Cream. I’ve been calling this my “facial in a jar” to anyone who will listen (okay, mainly my mom). It’s formulated with a bevy of ingredients that work to reduce wrinkles and provide instant hydration while simultaneously calming and soothing. In other…

I invest in my oral health pretty consistently these days. I brush my teeth twice everyday, use floss, rinse with mouthwash, and even apply the occasional whitening strips every now and then. Still, I always feel like I haven’t received a thorough cleaning. That said, I’ve been looking for new ways to boost my oral hygiene. Enter: the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser, which I’m convinced is a solid choice especially now that it’s 50 percent off at Amazon for Black Friday.  More than 110,000 Amazon shoppers swear by this deep-cleaning tool and it has the approval of the American Dental…

I can tell the group chat is evolving along with the candles on my birthday cake because lately, the pressing questions are about hair growth. It starts with: Does everyone else feel like their ponytail has gotten smaller? Then, spirals into: I’m noticing a lot of extra hair in the drain. And finally comes: Should I be taking vitamins for hair loss? Or has anyone tried a hair growth serum that actually works? Hair loss has many causes, and hair growth is a complex process, which means the solutions come down to trial-and-error and a lot of patience. However, we…

Whether or not you’re a fitness enthusiast, you likely know or even own pieces from Lululemon. The brand is beloved for its sleek, stylish, and functional approach to activewear — whether you’re a dedicated yogi or marathon runner, you’re guaranteed to find something you’ll like. You’ll be even more pleased when you realize that with Black Friday fast approaching (yes, we also cannot believe it’s already that time of year again!), Lululemon is, thankfully, taking part. Now is the time to grab Lululemon’s signature leggings, sports bras, and accessories, to name a few, for less. Plus, at full price, they’re…
