by Caroline Siegrist | Fitness + Health, Life and Home

Keep your eyes safer with these blue light blocking screen protectors

by Kristen Chase | Fitness + Health

As someone who works on a smartphone and computer all day long, I’ve become very diligent about wearing my blue light blocking glasses. I even have a pair for my kids, but no surprise here, they rarely remember to wear them. And well, considering I leave mine at...

How the Apple Watch 4 is helping me stay healthy, be more mindful, connect with my kids, and disconnect from my phone

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion + Accessories, Fitness + Health, Gear + Hardware

I had an original Apple Watch way back when it first came out, and I really liked it. I also ended up feeling like it was “another thing” — another thing to charge, another thing to take care of, another thing to buy accessories for. Sometimes...

Our favorite electric toothbrush is now at Target. Be still our clean-teeth loving hearts.

by Kristen Chase | Fitness + Health

I’ve been in love with my quip electric toothbrush ever since I tried it out a couple of years ago. Not only is it sleek and stylish, which okay, I get it, not the highest things on your list for a toothbrush, but it’s got built-in timers, and they send...

Tonal is a home fitness system that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

by Kate Etue | Fitness + Health

This mama still has it going on in many ways, but let’s face it: the 40s are here to stay. A brisk walk with the toddler in the stroller isn’t cutting it as my daily workout anymore. So, when I heard about Tonal, a sleek, super-convenient, high-tech home...
