This day-after-Thanksgiving salad uses leftover turkey and grains, but you could also swap in any roasted vegetables you have for the Brussels sprouts, says Brooklyn-based recipe developer Ali Slagle. The recipe features already-cooked farro, which turns crisp in the oven and provides texture. "Turkey is a lean meat," adds Slagle, "so it needs added flavor. Coating it in whole-grain mustard before roasting is a light way to do that."

“To relieve stress, I paint my nails,” says Tatiana Gregory, a Tier 3+ trainer at High Line in New York City. “It’s an activity that requires focus and attention, so you have no choice but to be completely present to the moment. That kind of checking out is essential on a regular basis, especially nowadays.” She loves shades of red for this time of year and when she really needs to redirect herself, she paints designs like a classic French manicure, using ringed paper reinforcements.

The Swedish-French men’s apparel line launched in 2012 and is now available at The Shop. Their motto “Discipline is not a dirty word” applies to workouts and lifestyle, says co-founder Claus Lindorff. “If you want results when working out, you need to be disciplined and if you want to succeed in life, you need discipline. There are many different expressions of discipline, but it is always present in one form or another where there are results.”
