It was a rematch worth watching. At the 2021 Australian Open women’s singles final on Saturday, Feb. 20, Japan’s Naomi Osaka bested American Jennifer Brady 6-4, 6-3.

Registered psychotherapist Meghan Watson, who’s based in Toronto and is the founder of Bloom Psychology & Wellness, wanted to point out that Black joy might seem self-explanatory. However, she told POPSUGAR that it’s deeper than just finding joy; it’s “an opportunity for Black people to really center, amplify, and connect to a sense of ease,

I’m never going to be one of those people who loves to run. I’ve tried over and over again, jogging on tracks, treadmills, and through the woods. I just don’t enjoy it. But I do enjoy walking. Getting steps in is my favorite way to spend my lunch hour, and my husband and I look

I’ve hopped on the rower every single day since Nov. 16, 2020, and made the daily goal to row 10,000 meters mostly for my mental health. I needed that alone time early in the morning before my family woke up to do something healthy for me, to lose myself while breathing heavy, sweating, and watching

Ableism is defined as prejudice and discrimination based on one’s disability or perceived disability. Ableism is deeply embedded in our society. It surfaces in policies, actions, media, and the language we use. While ableism can be intentional (like the killing of disabled people in Nazi Germany), more often than not, it’s unintentional. But good intentions

OK, let’s be real — as much as all of us would love to take a social media hiatus, it’s not always practical in today’s world. Instead of trying to cut it out, be conscious of how you curate your feeds. If an influencer, beauty brand, (or even friend) makes you feel unworthy or less

As one of the few indisputable GOATs we know of (see also: Biles, Phelps), Serena Williams has forced the entire sport of tennis to rise to her level and blazed a trail for other tennis players of color to follow.

With stardom comes shrinking privacy, mounting societal pressures, and the constant need to keep creating — and Addison Rae, the 20-year-old TikTok phenomenon with millions upon millions of social media followers, has faced the negative side of fame. “I’ve dealt with online hate and social media drama, just people that are very opinionated and don’t

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both require two separate doses to reach their full effectiveness, which are given 21 or 28 days after the first dose, respectively. But vaccine distribution around the country has been disorganized (to put it lightly), and if for whatever reason you can’t get your second shot right on time, don’t

Trigger warning: the following essay mentions depression and suicidal ideation. By now, it’s pretty clear that the tabloid and news media from the early-mid 2000s owes Britney Spears an apology.

I’m all for an energetic coach or motivational at-home YouTube workouts, but every so often, I’m not in the mood for someone else’s pep. If I come to a workout with a five energy level and the instructor greets me with a 1,005, it’ll take all my strength to not turn around, walk away, and

Make Time to Meditate Meditation can also be a powerful tool, but Manda and Meleah acknowledged that it can be intimidating for beginners.

After a season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m beyond overjoyed every time I watch college gymnastics in 2021.

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect body, but for Black women, the body put on a pedestal by the wellness industry rarely resembles their own.
