Image Source: Getty / Kena Betancur If you've taken a scroll through Instagram lately, you've probably seen your favorite celebrities at Dogpound — the cult fitness studio that trains pretty much every Victoria's Secret Angel. Model of the moment Ashley Graham is also a regular, as is Karlie Kloss. The supermodels sweat it out at this exclusive gym that specializes in personalized high-intensity workouts. I live down the street from Dogpound, and I've always wondered about it. Whatever the weather, you can see clients and trainers crushing hard workouts — even in the snow! I knew I had to try the ultrapopular workout — despite being intimidated. (And, yes, I will do basically anything that Ashley Graham does . . . don't you?! #Obsessed) I looked up my trainer on Instagram the night before. He looked like an actual gladiator. I'm serious, he puts Thor to shame. I was excited to see an eight-pack in real life and quietly prayed he would instruct me shirt..

To the People Who Can’t Be Bothered by My Kids at the Grocery Store

To the Grumpy People at the Grocery Store, Life can be a real pain in the ass. I get it. Sometimes things don't go our way, sometimes we're busy, and sometimes we're in bad moods for no real reason. Everyone is allowed to feel those things, but you also need things to help pull you out of the moods and moments. And you know what the perfect thing for that is? The innocence of a sweet child. It happens more frequently than it used to — my kids get so excited by a passing stranger in the store for whatever reason, and that person blows right past them without even a smile, either with their head buried in their phone or a serious look on their face that tells the world they don't want to be bothered. You see, my kids — my daughter in particular — have been training for either a career in politics or as the future Miss America since they were little. When we go to the grocery store, I place my 3-year-old daughter in the cart, and she immediately wants to try to "ma..

I Did a Crazy-Hard Workout After Smoking Weed — Here’s What Happened

8 years ago Scarlett Newton
Living in San Francisco for two years opened up my eyes to the world of weed. After taking a strong stance against it for so long, I found that my own research and the crop of sophisticated dispensaries popping up at every corner began to lift the taboo surrounding the herb. After getting my med card and trying it for myself, the stereotype of stoned lazy hippies dissipated like a puff of smoke. Weed was no longer just a pleasurable pastime, but became an integral part of my fitness and self-care routine. I soon discovered the benefits of utilizing medical marijuana to calm my anxiety naturally and to help my body recover after surgery opioid-free. Needless to say, I was a fan. But when my friend told me about smoking before a heavy workout, I scoffed. Weed to me was more about relaxing and recovering. So why would I use it before my workout? I decided to not knock it before I tried it, so I vaped some of my go-to Girl Scout Cookies after work one day and headed to the hardest workou..

Play the Healthiest Trick on Your Kids With These 10 Veggie-Packed Desserts It can be a challenge to get your child to eat anything other than junk most days, let alone squeezing in the recommended daily serving of fruits and vegetables. If they're past the age of trickery where you used to be able to convince them a head of broccoli is a mini tree and they're a giant eating it, then turn to a more sophisticated form of deception: straight-up lie to them about what they're eating (they won't be scarred for life, don't worry). And if it's something to satisfy their sweet tooth, we have a feeling they won't ever complain.
