Industry watchdog group Truth in Advertising (TINA) announced Tuesday that after thoroughly investigating Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness/snake oil emporium Goop, they found over “50 instances in which the company claims, either expressly or implicitly, that its products (or those it promotes) can treat, cure, prevent,…
I grew up bouncing between Paris, New York City, and a rustic ranch in West Texas that my grandfather built, so I’ve always been all about self-care that is low-maintenance and reflects my lifestyle. My friends are always making fun of me for saying that if I can’t fit it in a single makeup clutch, it’s just not going…
We at Jezebel get invited to endless PR events, most of them not worth attending. We do make an exception, however, when the outcome might be funny, weird, or there’s exceptionally good free stuff involved. It was through these circumstances that Madeleine Davies and Megan Reynolds ended up on a Williamsburg hotel…
Imagine this: it’s the year 2021 and you’ve just retreated to your Lululemon Home™. You’ve just spent all day doing barre workouts and posting photos of your favorite luxury bee pollen on your Instagram account. Now, you just want to lounge on your couch made of naturally breathable, sweat-wicking Luxtreme™ fabric.
There’s no shortage of things to be mad about in late capitalism. Pretty high on the list, though, is the Eat, Pray, Love brand of pseudoscience promoted by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. Somehow, Goop—which previously encouraged women to shove eggs up their vaginas—has out-Gooped itself: the brand is now promoting stickers…
Gwyneth Paltrow used to be best known as an actress, but in the last decade she’s built an even bigger reputation as a health guru. Her newsletter venture, Goop, peddles an enviable lifestyle—travel, fashion, anything that looks gorgeous in photographs—but with a central message of living a clean, healthy life.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s inaugural Health Summit—an event centered around the sellable idea of “wellness”—took place on Saturday at a warehouse in Culver City, California. It appears to have been an affair to remember. Personally, I would never spend $500 or $1,000 or $1,500 on a Goop Health Summit. But after reading about…
Juicero began in secret. The startup, a sort of Keurig for cold-pressed plant-water—which made headlines for the $120 million in venture capital it secured from the likes of Google and Kleiner-Perkins between 2013 and 2015, and again when it announced its wi-fi-connected countertop appliance would cost a jaw-dropping…
Since Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop launched in 2008, the site has earned its reputation as the internet’s kooky rich aunt. From detoxes to cleanses; vitamins to clean food; vaginal eggs to vaginal steaming and recurring features by a self-described “Medical Medium” (a man who diagnoses disease via spirit guidance), Goop has…
Since launching in 2011, Silicon Valley healthcare startup Sano Intelligence has kept a low profile. Despite raising $20 million in venture capital, the company founded by ex-Bain Capital analyst and bioengineering grad Ashwin Pushpala has yet to release its product—a continuous glucose tracker that sticks to a users’…
As workout culture becomes increasingly niche, the workout people are having to get more and more creative. SoulCycle, at this point, is for basics; barre is still okay but you’re not allowed to brag about it. The next hot shit, if you’re extremely cool, is working out in a studio that has crystals under the floor.…

After all your spas and ladies clubs revised their décor to reflect last year’s sky-blue-pink color palette, along comes Pantone’s 2017 color of the year to jam the system: it’s “greenery,” the color of a wheatgrass shot and/or any number of $16 health juices, because we are being trolled.
Pillow comfort is certainly a matter of personal taste, but considering you (hopefully) spend eight hours a day in bed, it’s worth investing in one you really love. So to that end, we’re hoping to learn more about where our readers lay their heads at night. Check out the rules below, then head down to the comments for…
The Hill’s annual ‘50 Most Beautiful’ list is up—an important reminder to us all that even in D.C., people are attractive.
For the longest time, I was vapor. Floating. Years passed; boredom crept in. There was so much to be done.
After a little more than a decade, Arianna Huffington is leaving her namesake, the Huffington Post, to focus on Thrive Global, a new startup “dedicated to issues of health and wellness.”
A new series for Vogue titled “What on Earth is Wellness?” plans to catalogue and explain all the ways humans are desperately trying to cleanse themselves of the dirty food and thoughts polluting their lives, from blowing smoke over a crystal to drinking twelve dollar smoothies out of soft plastic.
At 8:01 Wednesday morning, People’s Great Ideas vertical published “Kim Kardashian West’s Food Diary: What I Eat In a Day,” filled with great ideas like “the Atkins 40 diet” and “Snack: 1 medium carrot.” Forty-two minutes later, several Jezebel staffers read this food diary and noticed something strange: “4 oz. Green…
Sarma Melngailis, who has been on the lam for 10 months after allegedly stealing nearly $2 million from her raw vegan restaurant Pure Food and Wine, was arrested along with her husband in Sevierville, Tennessee after a delivery of extremely not-vegan Domino’s pizza revealed their location.
