We understand that tending to your mental health is important, especially now as the novel coronavirus pandemic continues — and so do mental-health professionals. Many have volunteered their time to provide free services and therapy sessions to help you cope with whatever you’re going through related to COVID-19 or otherwise. For instance, Adrienne Meier, PhD,

Over the past few years, YouTube has exploded with videos aimed at making viewers feel relaxed, tingly, and even sleepy — a sensation known as autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). Within the ASMR community, there are a variety of video types involving tapping, whispering, and even roleplay — no, not that kind of roleplay —

Therapy in the traditional sense is a proven way to help people work through mental illness, handle the stressors of everyday life, and cope with past struggles. But, therapy is evolving with the times — more therapists are offering their services online as opposed to in person. That being said, even if you’re communicating with

Plant-based eaters are huge fans of Trader Joe’s because the grocery store chain offers tons of must-eat vegan products like organic tofu, protein-packed veggie burgers, and so much more. For your smoothie needs, the grocer also has Organic Pea Protein Powder that’s plant-based, healthy, and high in protein. When we first saw it, we obviously

The symptoms of COVID-19 vary from person to person, and in an interview with CBS This Morning‘s Gayle King on Thursday, fitness trainer Amanda Kloots opened up about her husband Nick Cordero’s experiences after contracting the illness. As a result of the virus, the Broadway actor and Tony nominee has had his right leg amputated,

There’s a reason we love shopping for activewear: we have strong connections to what we wear to work out. No one wants ill-fitting pants that bunch up between the thighs or a sports bra that couldn’t hold up a feather. People are shopping for cute matching sets and sweat-wicking gear because it helps them perform

Right now, comfy workout clothes are our wardrobe essentials, but the temperature’s starting to rise, so we’re starting to cycle out our leggings and sweatpants for some shorts. Is it any real surprise we love the pairs at Lululemon? They’re breathable, easy to wear, and great for sweaty workouts and lounging around the house alike.

Or, ask around: people are reporting strange, vivid (or both strange and vivid) dreams during this novel coronavirus pandemic, whether they’re about the actual virus or not. A fellow POPSUGAR editor

If you’re like us, you’re living in sports bras right now. For one, they’re comfortable, and they’re also a good reminder to get moving at some point during the day. Right now, we’re very into the sports bras at Free People. They come in the most fun, vibrant colors, they’re super comfortable, and will get

Home workouts are a great way to get your body moving and feeling good without even stepping foot outside your front door. That said, I still find it difficult to convince myself to slip on a pair of leggings and get moving most days, but Storm Reid’s helpful words of wisdom are exactly the push

You don’t need access to a gym in order to get in a quality workout. To help you train no matter where you are, Kelsey Wells, NASM-certified, Sweat app trainer and founder of the PWR and PWR at Home program, created this quick, total-body workout that will leave you feeling energized and stronger once it’s

While lifting heavy-ass barbells is great for strengthening your legs, don’t underestimate the power of a pair of dumbbells. Include these muscle-burning dumbbell moves to leg day if you want to feel the burn and see progress in your leg muscles. This isn’t a workout; we would never advise doing all these exercises in a

There’s nothing worse than loading up during your weekly trip to the farmers market or grocery store and then forgetting about all your goodies, only to find them languishing limply in your crisper drawer days later. To keep produce fresher for longer, follow these tips: Some fruits and veggies produce a gas called ethylene as

Between the long lines, the uneven stock (maybe one day we’ll have flour again), and the stress of maintaining social distance in narrow aisles, it’s not surprising that many of us are opting for takeout and grocery delivery instead of braving stores. (Takeout in particular is also a good way to support your local businesses.)

Move over, blueberry muffins and banana bread! Starbucks has more add-ons to offer with your morning cup of joe, in case you haven’t already noticed. Best of all for Starbucks fans are breakfast sandwiches (who doesn’t love a breakfast sandwich?!). One of my fellow POPSUGAR editors said her personal favorite is the reducted-fat turkey bacon,

Taking sneakers beyond the workout is a fashion trend that’s here to stay; we love moving our bodies, but we want to look as good as possible doing so. That’s why we love cute workout outfits. They motivate us to get our butt moving so we can feel like our happiest, healthiest selves. But, the

It’s easy to feel like the national lockdown has taken away so much in our lives, but maybe this is a perspective that needs to be shifted. Yes, we can’t go to the gym, or our favourite restaurants — heck, we can’t even take a quick jog around the block — but we can create

It doesn’t matter if you’re on your very first run or have 50 races under your belt. Cramps can happen to anyone. What’s more, they can happen to runners anytime, on any part of the body. Arms, abs, legs, feet — I think I’ve had just about every muscle in my body cramp while running.

Workouts at home are a thing now, for obvious reasons, and they come with their own set of challenges over and above the phantom exercise bike (yeah, we’re all still chewing on that “home gym of dreams” fantasy).  One issue you’ve probably run into is The Plateau… So, how do you push through and up

If you’ve read much about COVID-19, you know that fever, cough, and shortness of breath are hallmarks of the disease. But while many people will run a fever — for as long as a week or more — it’s possible to contract the virus and never see a spike in your temperature. “You can definitely
