And as for the skin: There are plenty of reasons to add this to your routine—just be mindful of how you use it, as it may not be the right oil for everyone (everyone reacts differently to ingredients!). You can even test your oil to make sure it’s premium enough to use, as many commercial options blend the oil with additional, lower-quality oils—learn more here. One of the reasons olive oil is so skin-loving is because of the omega content....

The Cup suit in tarot is connected to water, Magdaleno explains, which is all about rebirth, emotion, and intuition. She notes that in the traditional Rider Waite Smith deck card, you can see the Queen sitting right on the edge of water, with one of her feet on the pebbles and one in the water, representing that she’s balanced in what she does. “She’s obviously very influenced by her emotions and intuition—but she’s grounded at the same time,” Magdaleno says....

In both philosophies, it represents the final stage of a spiritual path where one may become enlightened. But what does that really mean, and how do you actually achieve it? Here’s an overview. As assistant professor of Hindu studies at the University of Denver Dheepa Sundaram, Ph.D., explains to mbg, “Patanjali’s system was really also about bringing together a synchronized vision of yoga that would be nonsectarian and not necessarily linked to one particular religious tradition....

If you’re currently taking the supplement (or thinking about trying it), you might wonder when you should take CoQ10: morning or night. Here’s what the experts recommend, plus tips for figuring out the right time slot for you. Your body naturally makes CoQ10, but your levels drop as you get older2; this might actually contribute to the development of chronic conditions with age3. Along with supplements, you can also consume CoQ10 from food, like all meats (but especially organ meats and fatty fish), nuts, seeds, and certain vegetables like broccoli....

Even though I knew the many benefits of red-light therapy facials—including smoother skin and improved collagen density—I wasn’t sure the tiny handheld device could give me the same level of results. Ultimately, my best friend got me on board. She’s currently in pre-wedding skin care mode and persuaded me to test out the Solawave to compare our results. Here’s how it went. “Red light therapy is a low wavelength red light that causes energy to be produced within a cell,” explains board-certified dermatologist and skincare expert, Ramya Garlapati....

Avoid harmful finishes by looking for backpacks that are certified by Oeko-Tex or bluesign—both verifiers of safer textiles. This means that you might want to try on a backpack in person before committing—especially if it’s something you’ll be wearing for an extended period of time like a hiking pack. While sustainable backpacks should be investment pieces, I know that not everyone has hundreds of dollars to shell out for them. That’s why I made sure to include lower-priced options, even if it meant giving up a sustainable perk or two....

Tantra drops us more deeply into the experience of who we really are. It creates an active merging of body and spirit. When we practice Tantra, life turns on—and so do we. Before I go any further, I’ll answer the question I know you’re asking yourself: “What exactly is a Tantric relationship?” To us, it’s an intimate relationship that’s grounded in and guided by Truth. That means it’s a partnership where our purpose (as a couple) is to be as awake as we possibly can be....
