Location, time of day, age, and skin tone all affect the body’s ability to produce the vitamin in the skin (not to mention the fact that many of us slather on sunscreen to protect us from sun damage and signs of aging). What that leaves us with is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency. And given the numerous functions of D in the body, this is for sure not a good thing....
One common strategy for couples trying to have a more egalitarian relationship is to divvy up the domestic tasks so that each person is responsible for half of them. For example, one person does laundry and dishes, while the other does cooking and carpool. We posed the question to Dan Carlson, Ph.D., a sociologist and University of Utah professor who studies family relationships, gender, and work. His answer, point-blank: “No. It’s not effective....
“When you have product, dirt, and oil building up around your follicle opening—which is where your hair grows out of—buildup around that starts to slowly suffocate your hair root, and it causes inflammation,” she says. “This inflammation will not only affect the quality of your hair growth, but it will physically hurt. So when you’re moving your hair around, it’s the inflammation that you are feeling.” And it’s becoming increasingly common for a few reasons, she says....
However, a common complaint that many people have when it comes to makeup is that their complexion ends up looking “cakey.” If you’ve ever felt this way, or you just want to prevent a cakey base in general, then keep reading. We asked experts exactly how to skip a cakey finish and why it happens in the first place, so let’s get into it. This kind of look happens most often when there are layers upon layers of product on the skin—think primer, foundation, concealer, bronzer, powder, and the like....
But for most of my life, “the chase” hadn’t really been my thing. Until recently. I’ve spent the last couple of months completely fixated on a human who makes me feel like shit. Rob charged through rooms with palpable apathy, remarking that they were “boring” and without asking me whether or not I was ready to continue on. He just expected me to follow and I did what I felt I should do: I followed....
But if you think risk-taking is just inherently a “manly” quality, think again: A new study just published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests gender differences when it comes to risk aversion are, like most gender differences, a product of socialization. In other words, the way we raise girls and boys is likely directly related to why women are less willing to take risks than men are....
First of all, it’s important to understand that your ability to forgive someone often has little to do with that person or what they did. Merriam-Webster defines forgiveness as “to cease to feel resentment against an offender” or “to give up resentment of or claim to requital.” It’s an internal state of being, and it’s not dependent on anyone but you. The only person in control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions—and the only one who can make a shift occur—is you....
