While they’re not for everyone, clover lawns are pretty easy to start and a breeze to maintain. Here’s what to know about the pros and cons of this lawn type, and how to grow one for yourself. Clover was first brought into the U.S. from Europe in the 1600s and quickly started thriving across many parts of the country from there. “It grows well here—especially in disturbed areas like lawns,” says Nancy Lawson, naturalist and author of The Humane Gardener: Nurturing a Backyard Habitat for Wildlife....

If you don’t yet coat your strands in coconut oil, you’re probably wondering what makes it such a hair care mainstay (subtle hint: versatility, moisture, and shine). Below, we explain what makes coconut oil so nourishing for hair and exactly how to apply it for maximum benefits. It can also help the hair retain protein: Because the specific type of fatty acid in coconut oil is drawn toward protein (it’s called “lauric acid,” according to celebrity hairstylist Nick Stenson, artistic director of Matrix), your strands are able to hold on to those proteins2 better when they’re coated in coconut....

Collagen is turned into collagen peptides through the process of hydrolysis (why you’ll often hear these called “hydrolyzed collagen” or “collagen hydrolysate”).

Roughly 80 to 90% of collagen1 belongs to Type I, II, and III....

If it’s not SoulCycle they’re dragging themselves out of bed at the crack of dawn for, it’s some other trendy new boutique spin studio. While spin isn’t really my thing, I’ve certainly seen my friends get the spin bug. I’m all for finding the workout that makes you happy and that you can actually stick with, but there’s something a little troubling to me about indoor cycling: I’ve had many a friend tell me their back is killing them from their weekly class or that they’re not sure they’re actually getting a great workout in....
