2. Power Down Midday

2 At newly opened The Dreamery by
Casper in New York City, you can
book a private, cozy pod like this for a
45-minute snooze, at $25 a pop. It’s the
latest napping studio to crop up; others
include Peace Power Napping in Chicago
and Recharj in Washington, D.C. And no
wonder: “A short, 20- to 30-minute nap
can wake you up and improve your brain
function,” says Philip Alapat, M.D., the
program director of the Sleep Medicine
Fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine.

7. Genius Arch Support

Beneit Cosmetics Brow Contour Pro
($32, beneitcosmetics.com) works
like a shuttle pen, housing the four key
steps to gorgeous arches in one wand.
There’s a lighter hue for the front end
of the eyebrow, a darker one for the
tail (two tones are more realistic than
one), a lesh-colored shade for deining,
and a highlighter. The pens come in
ive color combos to suit all skin tones.

parts, plus the added botanical lavors,”

9. Improve Your Swing

After years of sweat-testing jump
ropes, trainer Amanda Kloots picked
traits from her favorites to create one
that had it all: just-right handles with
rubber grips, an agile cord, and a way
to size the length without tying knots
that disrupt the circular movement.
The result is this rose-gold AK Jump
Rope ($40, amandakloots.com). Simply
tighten the screw on each handle
to set your ideal size, then get after it.

ballet, modern, jazz, and tap but always stayed with ballet because it was
the most physically and mentally challenging for me. I studied en pointe
for 10 years but was never the textbook ballerina: My feet, ankles, spine,
and hips weren’t lexible enough. I was never able to get my splits in sec-

In reality, hair doesn’t fit neatly into the curly,
wavy, or straight categories we’ve
established over the years. It comes in all textures
and widths—and demands very
specific care. We asked five women with
gorgeous strands to tell us
how they care for their unique types.

Rachel
“I’m Puerto Rican, and my
hair is coarse and thick and
has tons of volume. I learned
to love my hair at a really
young age because it just
took too long to straighten.”
HER HEAD TRIP:
I shampoo just once
a week to avoid drying
out my hair.
I detangle by combing
conditioner through my hair
while I’m still in the shower.
I don’t brush my hair
once it’s dry, to avoid frizz.
I always get my hair
cut—preferably when it’s
dry—by someone who
understands curls.

“My hair is thick and wavy.
Until recently, I straight-
ened it every day.
But now this look is in,
so I play up the curl.”
HER HEAD TRIP:
I use a microiber towel,
a cotton T-shirt, or even
a paper towel to blot, so
I don’t rough up and
ruin the texture.
Between shampoos, I’ll
co-wash [that’s cleansing
only with conditioner] to
keep my hair soft and supple.
To reduce frizz, I ill a
spray bottle with water and
add a drop of styling cream
to it. I mist the mixture
onto damp hair, then dry it
with a difuser.

but stopped using a blow-
dryer, so I don’t strip my
hair of all its moisture.”
HER HEAD TRIP:
I condition only the

“I have kinky hair, which
demands love and patience.
Getting on board with this
texture is the most important
thing you can do to care
for it, because it means
you’ll start experimenting
to make it look its best
instead of trying to ight it.”
HER HEAD TRIP:
A lot of my hair-care
essentials are found in
nature. Once a week, I whip
up a homemade mask of avo-
cado, egg yolk, coconut oil,
aloe vera gel, and jojoba
oil and use it after cleansing.
I co-wash every other day.
At night, I pineapple my

my father is Indonesian, so
my texture is a mix of baby-
ine and straight and thick
and wavy. I sleep with my
hair down because if I put
it up in a scrunchie over-
night, it will have a dent in
it all day. It really hangs
on to anything you do to it.”
HER HEAD TRIP:
I always use cloth-
covered elastics, which
are gentler to ine hair

1. With a vegetable peeler, remove 4

strips of peel from the grapefruit.
Squeeze ¾ cup juice from the grape-
fruit into a small bowl. Whisk in the
mustard, oil, and 2 tablespoons
honey, then stir in the garlic, rosemary,
and grapefruit zest. Divide between
2 large resealable plastic bags. Put
the beets in one bag and the pork
in the other. Seal and refrigerate for
at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 450°. Line a

rimmed baking sheet with foil.
3. Put the pork on the baking sheet,

wiping off excess marinade, then rub
the remaining 1 tablespoon honey
on top of the pork. Remove the beets
from the marinade and scatter
around the pork. Season everything
with salt and pepper.
4. Roast until a meat thermometer
inserted in the pork registers 145°,
about 20 minutes. Transfer the pork
to a cutting board and let rest.
Meanwhile, stir the beets and return
to the oven. Roast until the beets
are tender, about 7 minutes longer.
5. While the pork and beets roast,
strain the marinade into a small
saucepan. Discard the solids. Bring
the marinade to a boil, then boil
until reduced to a syrupy glaze,
about 8 minutes. Keep warm.
6. Slice the pork and arrange on a

plate with the beets and boiled mari-
nade. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Serves 4
TIP
If you prefer a
deep, dark crust
on your pork,
sear it on
the stove instead.
Balance flavors and textures
Every good dish nails the perfect combo of salty, sweet, sour,
and spicy, plus crunchy, chewy, creamy, and tender. The best
way to master this is by composing a great salad, like the one
here. Taste as you create, noticing where to add more acid to
balance the oil and nuts to add meatiness to the veggies. S TA R T TO F I N I S H : 20 minutes
½ cup plain whole milk yogurt
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
¼ teaspoon Espelette or other
dried red chile flakes,
plus more for serving
Salt
1 medium celery root, trimmed,
peeled, and cut into matchsticks
1 Asian pear, peeled, cored,
and thinly sliced
½ cup dried apricots, cut in halves
¼ cup roasted salted pistachios
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, sliced
1. In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt,

lemon juice, oil, poppy seeds, chile
flakes, and a pinch of salt. Adjust
seasonings to your preference.
2. Add celery root, pear, apricots,
pistachios, and parsley. Toss until
well-coated. Serve immediately or
refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Toss
again before serving.
Serves 6
3 pounds vegetables, such as

carrots, radishes, sweet potatoes,
shallots, and garlic, cut into
1½-inch chunks (8 cups)
2 ounces prosciutto, torn into
small pieces
6 sprigs thyme, plus leaves
for garnish
6 fresh figs, halved
1. Put a half-sheet pan on the floor

of the oven. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. In a large bowl, toss the vegeta-
bles with the oil, prosciutto, thyme,
and a pinch each of salt and pepper
until coated. Carefully transfer the
hot pan to a wire rack, then spread
the vegetables in a single layer.
3. Roast on the floor of the oven,
stirring once, until browned and ten-
der, about 35 minutes. Put in a dish
and top with figs and thyme leaves.
Serves 6
Caramelize your
roasted vegetables
It’s the golden, crunchy exterior that makes squash, brus-
sels sprouts, and root veggies slightly sweet and totally
addictive. The trick: First, preheat the baking pan so your
food hits a hot surface and gets a sear. Then place the pan
with the veggies on the loor of the oven, which provides
the most direct heat to cause caramelization.
