This is the perfect opportunity for a writer who cares about wellness and journalism in equal measure.

The ideal candidate should also be positive, extremely organized and adept at working under tight daily deadlines.

The ability to teach us a thing or two about crow pose or willingness to share your favorite DIY face mask recipes is also totally a bonus.

Research and write Well+Good articles across wellness topics (approx. 8–10 articles per week)
Compose newsletter copy and subject lines (3–4 times per week)
Practice high standards of journalism while writing with wit, humor, and style
