Out of all the wellness essentials, a really nice reusable water bottle is in my top three. I have a lot, and they all serve different purposes. And on my desk, you’ll usually find a glass one. 


Reusable glass water bottles tend to have a better taste than their stainless steel or plastic counterparts, are recyclable, don't contain BPA or its alternatives, and are easy to clean. (You should be cleaning your reusable bottles every day, bacteria love to be moist.) 


But because they’re not the most durable, insulated, and can be slightly heavier than plastic or stainless steel, I think they’re a great WFH bottle. We tested a bunch of reusable glass water bottles, and even pushed them off the counter onto a wood floor to test their durability. 


Our favorite is the Takeya Sure-Grip Glass Water Bottle, which our reviewer liked for its nice shape, drinkable straw, and thin layer of silicone that protected it from drops and oopsies. And it comes in a sage colorway, which is lovely.


That might not be your aesthetic, though, and that’s okay: We liked a few others, too.

PS: Congrats to Krystal W., Dave A., and Sonia N. for winning last issue’s Moment giveaway! For everyone else, you should check out its beverage lineup. It’s very good. The  botanical waters are made with all natural ingredients that include adaptogens to fight stress, clear brain fog, and improve mental clarity. Moment has also collaborated and created mocktail-based drinks for brands like Lululemon and Victoria’s secret


And stay tuned for more giveaways coming up.

One of my favorite athleisure brands just collaborated with Hatch on a maternity line, and it’s essentially all of my most worn stretchy essentials designed with baby bumps in mind 


And for those bumps’ futures, Hoka just dropped a kids line with two of its popular sneakers and a recovery slide


I was scrolling through the cast of the new season of Love is Blind on Instagram over the weekend and saw one of them punching this reflex ball at the beach and am newly captivated by this little boxing equipment


Infrared sauna blanket darling HigherDOSE is having a major Mother’s Day sale right now. You can get 20% off their wellness tech through May 4th with the code DoseForMom 


I recently discovered this mushroom-forward wellness supplement brand that has a pre-workout cordyceps powder


Mattel just shared its first Barbie doll with Down syndrome: She has butterflies on her dress (a symbol of Down syndrome), a pink pendant necklace symbolizing the third 21st chromosome, pink ankle foot orthoses to match her outfit, and sneakers with accessible zipper detailing


I love all things Cotopaxi–the brand does colorful outdoor gear so well—and this colorblocked windbreaker is no exception 


Another brand that isn’t shy with its color choices is Baboon to the Moon, which has a mint green mini go-bag and flamingo pink crossbody as part of its spring collection


Still doubling down on products getting springtime vibes right, like Pleasing’s biodegradable Pollinators nail polish set


New Tevas! We’ve got mesh, we’ve got velcro, we’ve got stretchiness, we’ve got water-friendly… I love my functional shoes

Swiping for wellness header with a picture of the Modern Age studio

We had one of our first IRL events this week at Modern Age! Ness Cardmembers and friends joined us at the Flatiron clinic for vitamin injections, free Ghia bevvies, and more.

Travis Barker endorsed a luxury enema kit that is, inexplicably, already sold out. More inexplicably, it is a collectible (not for medical use), which feels antithetical to its use case: injecting fluid up your butt to clean out your colon. 


This reporter really didn’t want to go on the Goop cruise, but I am really glad she did for the content. 


According to a leaked memo, Apple is going to install a journaling app with a future software update. This is cool from a journaling standpoint, but I prefer to keep my innermost thoughts somewhere a bit more private. Like on paper and free from third-party snooping 


 A beauty editor asking dermatologists an important question: Is airplane air bad for our skin? 


A really beautiful story on how tech companies are “banking” people’s voices to preserve them in the event they are lost due to conditions like ALS, throat cancer, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease. Artificial intelligence is making this a more affordable and accessible process, which allows people who have lost their voices to continue to feel connected and empowered


Injectables, like Botox and fillers, aren’t cheap, but that’s not stopping (increasingly younger) consumers from seeking out the services. And now payment services are adapting to the demand with new ways to pay for elective procedures, like a monthly membership plan.


Another elective surgery that’s getting hotter among men right now: Leg-lengthening. It can cost around $75,000, last four hours, is not covered by insurance, and sounds extremely intense, both during and in recovery. (Surgeons insert rods into each thigh bone and lengthen them remotely each day, allowing for new bone to grow over the rods, which are eventually removed with another surgery.) Men will literally have rods put into their bones and incrementally lengthened instead of going to therapy


The Cut talked to people who are working multiple jobs in order to afford Erewhon, an upscale grocery store in Los Angeles. It’s attracted a cult following, especially among wellness influencers, and clearly has a chokehold on even those without a disposable income who are enticed by a very specific kind of luxury (read: a $20 smoothie) 


And a PSA for BIPOC-owned clean beauty brands: Clean Beauty Summer School by Tower 28 is back in session and applications are now open. This is a 10-week, professional development program giving small, BIPOC-owned clean beauty brands access to free education, mentorship from top beauty industry executives. Ten finalists will have the chance to win $35,000 in grants and guaranteed buyer meetings with top retailers including Sephora, Ulta and Credo. Applications close May 10th
