I Went On a Silent Meditation Retreat, and It Was So Profound That I Can't Shut Up About It
When I signed up for a weeklong silent meditation retreat, I was looking forward to some peace and quiet, to deepening my meditation practice, and to having no choice but to unplug. When the first day actually arrived, I spent the six-hour train ride to the retreat center manically scrolling through Instagram-famous ferrets and art history memes like they were my very life-force. By the time I walked through the doors, the idea of spending seven days living in device-free, total silence with two dozen strangers felt unbearable.
And it felt unbearable quite a few more times throughout the week. But it was also life-changing. Largely in ways I'll be figuring out with my therapist for a long, long time, but also in more practical ways I didn't necessarily expect. In fact, I've incorporated some of what I learned into my life now that I'm home, which means I've become one of those insufferable people who tells others they should unplug, too. Here's how I've changed since coming back.
I'm Not Glued to My Phone All the Time
Yes, I know that blue light messes with your sleep. And that spending too much time on your phone stresses you out. And that browsing Instagram after midnight leads to cutting your own bangs with a pair of kitchen scissors 100 percent of the time. Still, mindless scrolling is a part of my nighttime routine and my morning commute, and it's usually what I default to during pockets of idle time when I don't know what else to do with my hands.
I wasn't cured of this in a week. In fact, there were plenty of times that my phone, tucked away in a bag in my room, felt like a phantom limb. But it also felt really, really nice to be away from it and to realize I didn't actually need it to fall asleep or entertain myself as much as I thought I did. I was already a fan of long, phone-free walks pre-retreat, but now I'm also making a point to resist the urge to pick up my phone during those smaller moments when I feel anxious or bored.
I'm More Mindful
The hours I spent on a cushion weren't my only meditative time during the retreat. I also meditated while doing my daily chore, cleaning one of the communal shower rooms. (By the end of the week, sponging down the shower curtains set my soul on fire.) I savored my daily walk up the long pebbled driveway to find the "good" rocks. Picking lint off my shirt became a treat. My lint-picking hobby doesn't thrill me in quite the same way now that I'm home, but I'm still finding a sort of calm joy in being in the moment and practicing mindfulness while cleaning my apartment, cooking, and watering my plants.
I'm Even Eating More Mindfully
Every meal I ate at the retreat, I ate with nothing more than some critters on the porch to entertain me. Did I come to believe that I shared a deep psychic connection with a chipmunk I named Gary? Of course. But over the week, I also realized that, in my real life, I never eat without something else to do. I'm always deep in conversation with friends, reading, or watching TV. Just eating felt really uncomfortable - and to be honest, boring - at first. But by the second day, I felt like I was paying attention to my hunger and fullness cues and even enjoying my food more. Am I now canceling dinners with friends to sit on my couch alone with reheated leftover pizza? No. But I am starting many mornings with my cat on my lap and a quiet, distraction-free cup of coffee and a piece of fruit.
I'm Kinder to Myself
Things can get loud when you get quiet. You know that voice in your head that seems to be there just to criticize you? You know, like when you're taking a workout class for the first time and you hear, "You're doing it wrong," with every squat, or when you're trying to fall asleep and your brain is all, "What if everyone secretly hates you?" and "Are you maybe dead inside?" Seven days of silence took my awareness of that voice - and the authority I give it - to a whole new level. I came to recognize it not as the voice of truth, but just an especially loud voice, like a shouty mansplainer in a work meeting who sure seems to be talking a lot, but doesn't actually know what the hell is going on.
Sure, I still sometimes fall asleep mentally scrolling through a highlight reel of every embarrassing thing I've ever done, like all normal people. But more and more often, I'm remembering that I don't have to go to battle with that voice every time I hear it. I can hear it with a bit of detached bemusement - and for now, that's plenty life-changing all on its own.

This Mask Combination Is My Secret to Smooth, Glowing Skin
The Summer humidity and heat have recently been doing a number on my complexion, causing me to break out more than usual. One night when it was particularly bad, I decided to treat my skin to some R and R by applying a few masks. I hadn't used the powerful T.L.C. Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial ($80) in a while and thought that the 25 percent of AHA and 2 percent of BHA could bring some of the bumps in my skin to a head and smooth out the texture of my skin a bit.
I smeared the thick liquid on my skin, set my timer for the recommended 20 minutes, and watched some YouTube videos while my face tingled. After washing it off and gently patting my skin dry, I reached for the new moisturizing mask I brought home, the Sisley-Paris Velvet Sleeping Mask With Saffron Flowers ($140), in the hopes it would ease my skin. I rubbed the soothing cream, which contains honey and shea butter, into my face and headed to bed.
In the morning, I noticed my complexion looked clearer and more bouncy and wondered if my new regimen was to thanks. After a few more times of using the combination, I can confirm that this is the magic potion that has my face looking dewy, clear, and even. My skin looks so glowy, that I intend on keeping this in my weekly routine.

Call Me Crazy, but I Think an Active Vacation Eases Stress More Effectively Than the Beach
My husband and I met in college, where we were both student athletes. Today, we've traded sports practices and class schedules for the stresses of adulthood - namely, juggling careers while parenting our two children. So, once a year, we try to get away, just the two of us. Early on, it only made sense that we do something active together, and now I can say with confidence that these fit vacations are the greatest way to alleviate stress.
Since we live in Michigan, we typically take our trips in the Summer when the weather's warm and there's more to do outside. While we've tried different things - including traveling to a hip town to run a 5K - we enjoy hiking or kayaking the most. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan (or the UP, as locals call it) is our top destination for hiking. It's beautiful there. There are no malls or chain restaurants in sight, only stretches of green trees, lakes, and wildlife. While it's a bit of a drive, we've had some of our most memorable hikes there, particularly one at Hogback Mountain in Marquette.
This hike was a long one, as my husband and I wanted to make a day of it and really push ourselves. We packed some nuts and other dry foods, along with plenty of water, and set out early in the morning, determined to get to the top of that mountain while taking in all the beautiful scenery around us. And push ourselves we did, though perhaps not in the way we'd hoped. We trekked for 90 minutes in the wrong direction - miles out of our way. We grew cranky. And hot. And sweaty. And hungry. Mosquitoes swarmed because somehow, we had ended up in a swampland.
As demanding as the hike had been at times, the stress from our daily lives had melted away on that mountain.
Still, we decided to keep going, and when we finally did reach the top, I noticed something just as miraculous as the view. As demanding as the hike had been at times, the stress from our daily lives had melted away on that mountain. We had forgotten about the bills, work deadlines, and more. Afterward, the two of us practically crawled into a local brewery, where we devoured sandwiches and sipped on beer. We laughed at our adventure. Our bodies already ached. Our eyes drooped. When we climbed into bed for a nap, our tired muscles melted into the mattress - the stresses of everyday life nowhere to be found.
When we got back home to the kids, we noticed that our stress levels remained at an all-time low for weeks. It goes without saying that adulthood (and marriage) isn't easy. Getting away is a must, and in my experience, vacations that include some exercise always leave me feeling better when I come home compared to those where we simply lounge around drinking on the beach. It's true what fitness gurus say about exercise alleviating stress: it drips off of you the more you sweat.

Exclusive: Jillian Bell Learns the Cost of Fitness in This Scene From Brittany Runs a Marathon
Award-winning playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo will make his directorial debut with the Jillian Bell-led comedy Brittany Runs a Marathon. If you have already seen the trailer and are suitably intrigued by the uplifting premise, we have an incredibly relatable exclusive clip that will have you even more excited for the film's release.
Based on a true story, the film follows Bell as New Yorker Brittany Forgler, a party girl who's hilarious and outgoing but decidedly not healthy. When her doctor challenges her to lose 55 pounds, she initially balks at the idea but, with the help of her neighbor (Casual's Michaela Watkins), finds herself falling in love with running. Her newfound appreciation for the sport leads her to the point where she makes a goal of racing in the New York City Marathon. (Which is, like, hard.)
In the clip above, we see Brittany's attempt at joining a local gym to get her fitness on. It all seems to be going smoothly until she learns the cost of the gym's most basic monthly membership: a not-so-basic $129. Watch Brittany's very understandable reaction to the news ahead, and check out Brittany Runs a Marathon when it sprints into theaters on Aug. 23.

Megan Thee Stallion Twerking Along to Lizzo's Flute Is a Masterpiece You Deserve to See Today
Well, it finally happened: Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion just collaborated . . . sort of. On Wednesday, my unproblematic faves got together to cook up something special for their fans, and it was delivered in the form of a hilarious Instagram video of Megan twerking while Lizzo flawlessly plays the Ying Yang Twins' "Bounce That A**" on her flute, Sasha, in the background. "When Ariel, Ursula and Nala link up," Lizzo captioned the short clip. Honestly, if this isn't the mood you plan on finishing out your Summer with, then what are you even doing?
Megan also posted the video to her own page, along with another one of her letting Lizzo "drive the boat," another internet trend the rapper started that basically translates to taking a shot of D'usse straight out of the bottle. "And here we have @lizzobeeating on the boat," the caption reads. It's not clear if the artists are planning on releasing a song together, but if they are, these videos are definitely evidence enough that it'd be well worth the listen.
Here's What Will Happen to Your Music When Apple Terminates iTunes
The end of an era is officially upon us. During the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in California this week, Apple officially announced their plan to terminate iTunes on Mac devices with a replacement app simply titled Music. Described by Apple Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi as "the best music app we've ever made," the new app is set to be released when the newest macOS is released later this year in September, alongside iOS 13 and the new set of iPhones. Many dedicated iTunes users are wondering what will happen to their music after the application shuts down, but have no fear, because all your tunes are staying put!
All the music that you have purchased will still be available via the new Music app, and there, users will also be able to continue purchasing music, as well as stream music with an active Apple Music subscription. Federighi also shared during the conference that "users will have access to their entire music library, whether they downloaded the songs, purchased them, or ripped them from a CD," and added, "For those who like to own their music, the iTunes Music Store is just a click away."
To put it simply, iTunes users have nothing to worry about. And though the tech giant is set to phase out the iTunes application on Mac computers by the end of this year, the iTunes application isn't going away completely. Apple shared that the iTunes Store app will remain on iOS devices for users to purchase music, while the Windows version of the iTunes application will remain for the time being.
So, even when these changes take effect, you'll still have easy access to your entire music library and be able to continue building it.
I Truly Could Not Live Without Dry Shampoo, and This One From Target Is My Holy Grail
I recently saw dry shampoo as the go-to hair product for Virgos on one of those zodiac sign prediction things. This was 100 percent true for me, because it's a staple I use every single week and can't imagine not having on my vanity. If you can relate, I thought I'd provide a friendly PSA that Kristin Ess's Style Reviving Dry Shampoo ($14) is my favorite out of the dozens I've tried.
It was first recommended to me by a friend whose beauty opinions I very much trust, and the reasonable price tag paired with the fact that I could grab it at Target made me want to try it out. I've since repurchased it many times, and when I decide to branch out and try another dry shampoo, I usually regret it.
As someone with dark hair, I hate when dry shampoo leaves a chalky, visible white streak. Although this formula does come out in white powder form, it seamlessly blends into the rest of my hair with a few taps. It also smells incredible - not too intense but just sweet and fresh enough - and visibly absorbs oil. I can get away with washing my hair twice a week, and I rely on this in between. A few sprays at the roots, and I'm good to go.
Kristin Ess's products are only available at Target or on her own website (I know, I know - just another excuse to "pick up one thing" from Target). She's a celebrity hairstylist who launched her own haircare line in 2017, which now includes hair gloss, a rose gold temporary tint, and much more.
I haven't tried her other products, but I know I'm not alone in loving the dry shampoo. Half the time when I stop by my closest Target, the Style Reviving Dry Shampoo is out of stock; I consider it a win when I get it on the first try. If you're looking for your holy grail dry shampoo that'll save you on lazy days, this might be it.

Princess Charlotte Sticks Out Her Tongue at Adoring Fans, Continues to Be a Tiny Icon

On Thursday, the 4-year-old royal accompanied her parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William, to the King's Cup regatta on the Isle of Wight (Charlotte's brother George was also on hand for the fun, sporting a toothless smile and captain's hat). After the big race, Charlotte and her mom appeared at the window above the prize-giving stage, where Kate encouraged her to wave to onlookers. But instead of giving us her perfect princess wave, Charlotte had other plans: she stuck out her tongue, eliciting a round of laughter and "aww!"s from the crowd. I love this girl! Kate seemed entertained by the moment, as cameras caught her laughing along at her daughter's sass.
You may recall Charlotte sticking out her tongue at photographers as she arrived for her uncle Harry's royal wedding last May and putting them in their place outside of her brother Louis's christening months later. My girl Lottie also showed off her mischievous grin in a handful of adorable fourth birthday portraits released by Kensington Palace in May. I don't know, guys - something tells me we'll have many more sassy Charlotte moments to obsess over in the near future. Keep reading to see Charlotte in action.
Here's What Will Happen to Your Music When Apple Terminates iTunes
The end of an era is officially upon us. During the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in California this week, Apple officially announced their plan to terminate iTunes on Mac devices with a replacement app simply titled Music. Described by Apple Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi as "the best music app we've ever made," the new app is set to be released when the newest macOS is released later this year in September, alongside iOS 13 and the new set of iPhones. Many dedicated iTunes users are wondering what will happen to their music after the application shuts down, but have no fear, because all your tunes are staying put!
All the music that you have purchased will still be available via the new Music app, and there, users will also be able to continue purchasing music, as well as stream music with an active Apple Music subscription. Federighi also shared during the conference that "users will have access to their entire music library, whether they downloaded the songs, purchased them, or ripped them from a CD," and added, "For those who like to own their music, the iTunes Music Store is just a click away."
To put it simply, iTunes users have nothing to worry about. And though the tech giant is set to phase out the iTunes application on Mac computers by the end of this year, the iTunes application isn't going away completely. Apple shared that the iTunes Store app will remain on iOS devices for users to purchase music, while the Windows version of the iTunes application will remain for the time being.
So, even when these changes take effect, you'll still have easy access to your entire music library and be able to continue building it.
I Truly Could Not Live Without Dry Shampoo, and This One From Target Is My Holy Grail
I recently saw dry shampoo as the go-to hair product for Virgos on one of those zodiac sign prediction things. This was 100 percent true for me, because it's a staple I use every single week and can't imagine not having on my vanity. If you can relate, I thought I'd provide a friendly PSA that Kristin Ess's Style Reviving Dry Shampoo ($14) is my favorite out of the dozens I've tried.
It was first recommended to me by a friend whose beauty opinions I very much trust, and the reasonable price tag paired with the fact that I could grab it at Target made me want to try it out. I've since repurchased it many times, and when I decide to branch out and try another dry shampoo, I usually regret it.
As someone with dark hair, I hate when dry shampoo leaves a chalky, visible white streak. Although this formula does come out in white powder form, it seamlessly blends into the rest of my hair with a few taps. It also smells incredible - not too intense but just sweet and fresh enough - and visibly absorbs oil. I can get away with washing my hair twice a week, and I rely on this in between. A few sprays at the roots, and I'm good to go.
Kristin Ess's products are only available at Target or on her own website (I know, I know - just another excuse to "pick up one thing" from Target). She's a celebrity hairstylist who launched her own haircare line in 2017, which now includes hair gloss, a rose gold temporary tint, and much more.
I haven't tried her other products, but I know I'm not alone in loving the dry shampoo. Half the time when I stop by my closest Target, the Style Reviving Dry Shampoo is out of stock; I consider it a win when I get it on the first try. If you're looking for your holy grail dry shampoo that'll save you on lazy days, this might be it.

Chris Hemsworth's Trainer Challenged Him to the "Devil's Workout," and Guess Who Won
Hey, did you know Chris Hemsworth is really strong? Did you want a reminder? Chris gifted Instagram today with a workout video worthy of the iconically-ripped god-slash-superhero that he played in the Avengers movies. This is rarer than it probably sounds; despite his famous muscles and the fitness and health program, Centr, that he curates, Chris doesn't actually share a whole lot of workouts on social media. Which is fine - it's fine - because his sense of humor, career, adorable family, and iconically-Australian exploits keep followers more than satisfied. (Throwback to the time this man went surfing in a suit.) But on the occasions the God of Thunder does post a workout, well. The internet pays attention.
"This is the devil's workout," said Chris's trainer, Luke Zocchi, at the start of the video, and we're inclined to believe him. Six exercises, six reps of each, for six rounds (six-six-six . . . we see you) and these moves aren't just, like, burpees. Which would be hard enough! No, Chris gets things started with a barbell deadlift to overhead press to triceps extension. Then it's on to an inclined pull-up. Then a one-armed kettlebell lunge with another overhead press. Some kind of resistance band upper-body move while balancing on a Bosu ball. You guys, I'm making these names up right now because I've never even seen them before.
The whole time Luke is one move behind Chris, trying to catch him and pushing him to go faster, which is a quality workout buddy move if we've ever seen one. "Five more rounds! It burns, doesn't it?" Chris said at the end, while Luke stumbled off to collapse on the ground.
We'll take his word for it. After a circuit like this, chucking Mjolnir around is probably a freakin' breeze.

Dietitians Recommend These 11 Low-Carb Cereals For Healthy, Tasty Breakfast Options
Low-carb cereals are out there (we've got 11 dietitian-approved picks ahead), but they're tricky to find, because cereal is made from grains, which are carbs by definition. That doesn't mean you can't make smart, relatively low-carb cereal choices, or that cereals, especially those with whole grains, can't fit into your balanced eating plan. "Whole grains are part of a healthy diet," said registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Ana Hill, LD. "They provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals."
The key is to make sure your cereal gives you more than just carbs. Macronutrients like protein and fiber are key for a balanced breakfast that'll keep you satisfied for the whole morning. You probably won't find healthy cereals with five grams of carbs, but that's OK; if the carbs you're having are satisfying, healthy, tasty, and helping you consume other important nutrients, then it's a win. Check out these healthy picks to get you started, all recommended by registered dietitians.
