On the one hand, I think giving runners a place to toss their old shoes is great since it implies they will be somehow repurposed. But I’ve always wondered about where, exactly, the final resting place is for these sneaks. On top of that, avid runners go through shoes at Usain Bolt–level speed. Most experts recommend switching running shoes after 300 to 500 miles; much beyond that, they’ll lose their cushioning and could lead to injury....
At mbg, we don’t believe that skin care should be complicated, so we’re here to help you sift through all of the skin care language so you can make better decisions about your skin health. Today, we’re getting to the bottom of this frequently asked question: Which is better, tretinoin or retinol?

But hold on: Is this spooky-sounding facial actually worth the hype? We tapped experts for everything (and we mean everything!) you need to know. A little background info on PRP procedures: A professional will draw a vial of your own blood, put in a machine called a centrifuge, and spin it to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood cells (white and red). These platelets are considered “liquid gold” in the cosmetic dermatology field, board-certified nurse practitioner and aesthetic specialist Vanessa Coppola, FNP-BC, owner of Bare Aesthetic Medical Spa, tells mbg....
Pump after pump, she fills the water pot, balances it on her head, and sashays gracefully toward home. There she empties the pot, astonished by its contents. Instead of precious water, out pour precious ideas. According to my Vedic astrology insights, 2022 unfolds similarly. In times past, you may have casually considered this notion as you skimmed books about “the biology of belief” or “the placebo effect.” But in 2022, the reality-creating power of thought begins to affect all aspects of our lives....
If you know someone who has a pattern of negativity and self-sabotage, they may have a victim complex. “If you have a victim complex, you feel a lack of control in your life, may blame others when things go wrong, and overall tend to feel like things are happening ’to’ you,” she explains. “While we all feel this way from time to time, if you have a victim complex, you feel victimized more severely, more often, and for a longer time than the average person....
Viscose is most often used to make clothing (especially loungewear and activewear), but you’ll also find it in home goods like sheets and bedding. And as mentioned earlier, chemicals are then used to break down cellulose so it can be spun into viscose—some of which are toxic. One of the most ubiquitous, and dangerous, is carbon disulfide. “[Carbon disulfide] is a powerful solvent that has been historically linked to causing hysteria in factory workers1,” says Urska Trunk, a campaign manager at the Changing Markets Foundation, a European nonprofit that investigates and exposes irresponsible corporate practices....
