Vol. 25, No. 33

This whole new year, new you thing is stressful. With the pressure on to break bad habits, be more productive, organized, attractive and an all around Better You™, this year we encourage you to take it easy on yourself. Whether that means punching diet culture in the face, forming little self-care rituals or taking a two-hour lunch break to play pick-up basketball, we’re here for it. And we bet it’ll feel way better than a cleanse.
