Social media has completely transformed the way we communicate with one another, and that includes how we share information about the injustices that happen in our society. While these platforms have helped us come together and shed light on these experiences, the inescapable images of violence can take an emotional toll on BIPOC. Last year,

I am a sports-bra snob, and I am not afraid to admit it. When I’m looking for a sports bra, above all else, I need it to be comfortable. It doesn’t matter if it’s the most supportive sports bra in the world, if it doesn’t feel good on, I’m not wearing it. I have all

UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis went viral in 2020 for her Beyoncé and Homecoming floor routine — so viral that she ended up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Now, the senior is back with a new routine for the 2021 season, and her performance at the Bruins’ first competition (and win!) of the year against the

Yawning is completely normal in most cases, and people yawn for a lot of reasons, internal medicine physician Neha Pathak, MD, who’s a medical editor for WebMD, explained to POPSUGAR.

There are so many reasons to love cycling. You can do it indoors or outdoors, at home or at the gym. It’s also low-impact, making it easier on achy joints, and of course, it burns calories! But if you’re someone who uses cycling as your go-to workout — or you’re considering adding it to your

Everything in your body is connected, which means the pain you feel in one area might be caused by a weakness or an underlying injury in another. Take your hips, for example. You probably know how sore and tight this area can get just from sitting or working out, but if your hip muscles are

In this new year, there are undoubtedly people who have made resolutions to lose weight or who have big endeavors for a fitter future. While those ambitions are valid and anyone is allowed to do whatever they choose with their body, there are some very common phrases that can make your fat friends extremely uncomfortable.

Six months ago, I shifted my diet from high-fat, low-carb vegan to a high-carb, low-fat vegan diet, with a focus on whole foods and limiting processed foods. I stopped eating added oils, and I eat so many veggies, potatoes, rice, and beans. I’ve gotten leaner, my skin is clearer, and my digestion has improved! I’ve

I remember the first time someone told me I needed to go on a diet. I was young, around 12 years old. Although I was an active child, I put on weight easily, a trait I still carry with me to this day. I had gone to the doctor for a routine checkup, and he

The days of wearing your workout attire only to sweat are long gone. Today, we’re all about clothes that can be worn to the gym, to the grocery store, and, yes, even to take Zoom calls. Outfits that basically guarantee all-day comfort. Yoga leggings definitely fall into that category. In recent years, we’ve seen some

I used to suffer from period cramps so painful, I couldn’t even move. They also came on so suddenly that I found myself in difficult situations, like being at school or work and unable to get up from my chair. For a while, I used a prescription painkiller to combat my debilitating cramps. It worked,

The dance troupe known as Chloe Arnold’s Syncopated Ladies first posted its “Rise Up” routine back on election day 2016, but it didn’t catch our eye until the group reposted it today, following the historic inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And after watching the clip for yourself, you’ll see why it deserves the

Kamala Harris is officially the first vice president from California since 1961, and her home city is bursting with pride. Harris is a native of Oakland, CA, and in honor of her swearing-in today, the Bay Area-based Golden State Warriors released a sendoff tribute worthy of the nation’s first woman VP. In the video, a

If you have a friend or family member who experiences panic attacks, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and helpless if it happens in your presence. Like any other mental health condition, it’s impossible to truly understand what a panic attack feels like unless you’ve experienced one yourself — but that doesn’t mean you can’t help

A’ja Wilson made history on Monday, but this time it happened just outside the basketball court. Wilson was officially honored with a statue outside Colonial Life Stadium, where the WNBA star played her college games for the University of South Carolina.

I left college for spring break while winter was still in full swing on my campus in Syracuse, NY. Although it was mid-March, the temperatures were well below anything even remotely considered warm and snow covered the ground. To make matters worse, I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in weeks. I was looking forward

After placing second last year, Olympic ice dancers Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue roared back to the top of the podium at the US Figure Skating Championships this weekend, in part thanks to their flirty rhythm dance set to a medley of Christina Aguilera‘s vocals from the cult-classic film, Burlesque. The sexy, sharply choreographed program

When the new year rolls around, I get excited to make goals and set intentions. One of the most interesting things that I’ve discovered is that, when I make my resolutions, I always include one small habit that I want to incorporate into my daily routine.
