This blog delves into the benefits of anti- pollution pink clay and charcoal skincare products…

LIBRA ELEMENT AND MODALITY What Is Libra’s Element and Modality? The Cardinal Air Sign Libra Element: Air Libra is one of the three zodiac signs ruled by the Air element, alongside Gemini and Aquarius. As the second air sign, Libra transforms the gregarious gusts of the air element into a calm, graceful delivery filled with charm, social finesse, and good manners.

Air signs, in general, are known for being communicative, intellectual, and promoting the flow of ideas.

Here’s a recap of our holiday break!  Holiday Break 2024 I always feel a little silly writing about Christmas in the New Year. Do you guys even care? But since I took the whole break off to be present with the fam, it’s the only way I can keep my 17-years-and-counting blog going! So here is everything we did over the holidays. *Rewinding the VCR tape* Happy Birthday Grandpa Thomas’s dad’s birthday is right before Christmas! We had a family night to celebrate (and then he got a new knee for his bday / Christmas). 

Image Credit @ Chris Colls for Elle France When it comes to health and wellbeing routines, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed with options. Collagen, biotin, B vitamins and supergreens, there’s always a new wellbeing buzzword on the beauty block. The latest supplement gaining traction is NAD, another naturally occurring coenzyme that is thought to have significant anti-ageing and energy-boosting properties. So, what is it, and how does it work? 5 NAD+ Supplements To Try What Is NAD+? NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a crucial role in energy production and regulating cellular ageing.

The world has moved on from Valentine’s Day, but I have not (yet). Today’s look is very simple lace half moon, but it comes with a super cool thermal polish from purple (cold) to hot pink (warm) on my super long stiletto falsies. (If you don’t have a thermal polish, just use some makeup sponges to make a gradient. You’ll miss out on the cool color changing when you wash your hands and such, but it does mean you’ll always see both colors.) And, of course, a heart-shaped nail charm would probably make more sense for Valentine’s Day, but I actually…don’t have one.

We’ve all been there—you buy a new skincare product only to use it a handful of times before the novelty wears off. It gets shuffled to the back of your cabinet or to the bottom of your drawer, where it collects dust. One day, as you’re sorting through your things, you rediscover it. That’s when the inevitable questions arise. Does skincare expire? Is it still safe to use? Keep reading to learn all about skincare expiration, including how to read dates and symbols, how to tell if a product is past its prime, and how to extend the life of your favorite formulas.

The bad news: it ends on January 12. That leaves less than three days to take advantage of unheard of beauty deals (up to 50 percent off!) on hundreds of premium beauty products. As someone whose job it is to research and report on beauty sales daily, trust me, this one is noteworthy—the 16 products currently in my cart are proof.

Have you ever struggled with integrating holidays into your already existing curriculum?

With 13 years of education experience, Carlanda has significantly impacted many students of all ages, including those in special education and early learning.

Many people think weight loss diets mean cutting out desserts completely. However, the key is making smarter choices about what, how often, and how much you eat. While there’s no such thing as a zero-calorie, zero-fat diet dessert, you can still enjoy sweets and meet your health goals. The trick is to use nutrient-rich ingredients and healthier swaps. Complete withdrawal from your favourite food often backfires. In fact, it can make you fall off your diet rather than stick to it. Desserts, in particular, are “hyper-palatable” foods and restricting them completely often increases your desire to eat more of them.

Natural tresses can only take so much wear and tear before breakage and hair damage occurs. Heat, sun, and a plethora of heat styling products definitely don’t help, but genetics, age and nutrition also play a factor. Luckily, if you notice hair thinning or breakage, there are a few things you can do to bring them back to life. (Aside from chanting these hair-care mantras, of course.) If you’re prepping for a big event whether in person or virtual or you need a quick fix to look your best while doing the latest TikTok challenge, consider adding natural-looking fullness with a…

A recent study from the University of Turku in Finland revealed that reducing the amount of time spent sitting each day can help prevent back pain from worsening over six months. This finding supports the existing knowledge about how staying active can impact back pain and sheds more light on what happens in the body that might lead to back pain. It might seem obvious that sitting less could help with back pain, but surprisingly, there has been little research to prove this theory. This new study, conducted by the Turku PET Centre and the UKK Institute in Finland, specifically looked at whether reducing sitting time could help overweight or obese adults who spend most of their day sitting.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Briglia Dental Group takes a big picture approach. Led by Dr. Ron Briglia, our practice understands that you are more than a set of teeth and gums. Indeed, what passes through your lips plays a critical role in the health of the rest of your system.  Take Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), for instance. It is the leading killer of men and women in the western world. Your body has natural defense mechanisms that play a protective role in preventing this disease and halting its progress.

This weekly meal plan is designed to be simple, effective, and effortless, allowing you to focus on enjoying delicious food while shedding those extra pounds. Whether you’re new to Weight Watchers or a seasoned participant, this guide will help you create a balanced and satisfying menu that aligns with your weight loss goals. The meal plan below includes six dinner recipes for the week. I left one day open for dining out. Most of these recipes are great for leftovers the next day. I always try to set some aside for lunch.

At 37, Samantha Murrell was the picture of health. She hiked daily and enjoyed other outdoor activities like paddleboarding and mountain biking near her home in Montana. Murrell was also proactive with her health and stayed on top of preventive exams. She diligently checked for moles that could indicate the beginnings of skin cancer, did breast self-exams because of a family history of breast cancer and stayed current with OB-GYN appointments to catch any early signs of reproductive cancers. In early 2024, Murrell took a trip to India and battled a slight cough and chest pressure when she returned.

Community birth stories are, for me, some of the most important episodes to share on this podcast. Oftentimes, we’re overwhelmed with negative birth narratives, which can impact one’s confidence in their ability to birth. I feel passionate about hearing, and sharing, stories where individuals acknowledge their birthing anxieties but ultimately overcome them. Today on Yoga | Birth | Babies, I have Jessie Valentine. Jessie is a registered dietitian who specializes in fertility and perinatal nutrition, a registered prenatal yoga teacher (and PYC teacher training grad!), and a postpartum doula servicing Nassau and Suffolk counties of NY.

If you live in a larger body, sometimes it feels like you can’t win. If you don’t lose weight, people will criticize you for being “lazy,” “unhealthy,” or “lacking willpower.” But if you take medication to help you, you’ll be criticized for “cheating” or “taking the easy way out,” even if you’ve tried for decades to manage your weight through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes (sometimes extreme ones). In this article, we’ll be talking about a highly contentious group of medicines—GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).

It’s that time again, the sun is shining brightly, the days are longer, and the look of sun-kissed skin is in. Summertime is the ideal time to explore the world of bronzers. There is a misconception that bronzing and contouring are one and the same, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Contouring is meant to bring dimension and depth to the face with subtle sculpting while bronzers are meant to bring warmth and glow.  There is also a distinct difference in the shades of contouring products and bronzers. Because contouring is meant to add depth and dimension the shades often have a noticeably cooler undertone while bronzers have more a skin-like undertone.

Hiya guys! The sun is absolutely shining outside and I am actually going out of my cave to enjoy it for once. I feel like spending a year at home has made me learn to want being outside under natural lighting so much. It's like you always want what you can't have, haha. With all the sun I'm getting I am starting to get a nice little tan going on, nothing crazy of course. But for once I might actually look like a human being amongst the living instead of an extra from The Walking Dead.

LED face masks, also known as light therapy masks, have become a super popular skincare tool in recent years! These masks use various colors of light to treat a range of skin concerns, such as acne, aging, and uneven skin tone. But with so many options on the market, it can be tough to know which LED mask is right for you. Don't worry, we did all of the research so you don't have to! In this blog post, we'll dive into the science behind LED light therapy and explore the benefits and drawbacks of using an LED face mask. 

“Because I’m from Atlanta, I’ve always been in the music world. I think it's the most accessible-to-music place that you can be in. Like, if you go to Lenox Mall as a kid, you see famous people and it’s normal. At the Underground, I remember very vividly meeting Jermaine Dupri when I was six years old. My mom worked in music, too. She was a celebrity hairstylist for music videos when I was younger, back when videos used to cost a million dollars and weren’t shot on an iPhone. I still remember going to Lil’ Bow Wow video sets and lots of Dave Matthews concerts because she was their touring hairstylist for 14 years.

Through our books and Connected Kids program, we emphasize the potential benefits of meditation for children on the spectrum.

Norman Powell is a basketball player who can be counted on both on and off the court. So far this 2024-2025 season, he’s averaged almost 24 points per game for the L.A. Clippers, and in this exclusive interview with M&F, explains why being regarded as a leader is something to be taken seriously. Here’s how this athlete makes sure to take care of his body before, during, and after games. Powell played for the UCLA Bruins before joining the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. The 6’4” shooting guard was subsequently traded to the Toronto Raptors, where he made a huge impact by helping the team to win an NBA Championship in 2019.
