Women’s History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women who have had to navigate a men-dominated world where systemic barriers and social pressures persist in the boardroom, in the classroom, and on the field.

As one of those girlies who tend to have gut-health issues, I’ve been on the hunt for anything that’ll help. I’ve tried so many different probiotics, many of which just haven’t done much of anything.

Here’s an unexpected win for the environment: reusable water bottles are having an it-girl moment, thanks in part to the wildly popular Stanley cups.

Ashlee Green was an active child growing up. “But active in the sense that I used to play outside with my friends and was drinking water from the water hose,” she tells POPSUGAR. “I didn’t play sports.
