Take a recent study2 from the journal Sexuality Research and Social Policy that revealed how people tend to dehumanize those in CNM relationships. Researchers asked 455 straight people to evaluate a series of hypothetical couples, including some monogamous, some consensually non-monogamous, some straight, and some gay. CNM couples were described in less human terms—they were seen as having less love, compassion, and remorse and as having more “animalistic” emotions like lust and fear....

Specifically, vitamin B3 plays an important role in digestion, mental health, heart health, the nervous system, maintaining healthy skin, making a variety of hormones, and acting as a precursor to the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Here, learn all about vitamin B3, its different forms and health benefits, signs of deficiency, common food sources, and when to consider a supplement. Of these, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are the main forms of vitamin B3 or niacin—they’re both widely available from the same food sources and sold as dietary supplements....

One 1992 study on déjà vu defines it as “a dissociative phenomenon which can be characterized as a subjectively inappropriate impression of familiarity of the present with an undefined past.” It may happen when you see a scene that looks eerily familiar or hear a friend say something that you swear they’ve said before. What makes the experience of déjà vu so unnerving is that people usually can’t place exactly why the scene feels familiar or when it originally happened....

Here’s what you need to know about how to be more feminine and get in touch with your feminine side. Your masculine side gets expressed when you’re working toward a goal, making progress, getting things done, and pushing forward. Your feminine side gets expressed when you move with the flow of life, embrace your creative energy, dance, play, and attune to your internal process. Importantly, these traits are not associated with gender....

While the cause of browning can differ depending on the type and location of your plant, here are some general rules of (green)thumb to remember. Rebecca Bullene, the founder of Brooklyn-based plant shop Greenery Unlimited, says that this browning is a plant’s way of telling you it’s stressed. “Plants get stressed just like humans do—and like with humans, their stress is cumulative over time,” she explains. This means that the leaf browning you’re seeing may not even be an immediate reaction to your recent watering routine but instead speak to the tiny stressors your plant has been putting up with for a while....

Your rising sign reveals how you interact with the world, from your appearance to your attitude to the first impressions you make on others. For example, a Leo sun with a Capricorn rising will likely exhibit Capricorn-like traits you wouldn’t expect from typical Leo energy, or will even physically look more like a Capricorn. Your rising sign also determines where your first house of identity falls in your chart (your ascendant is always your first house), which sets the stage for the rest of the houses in your chart....

The term is derived from the word empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the emotions of another. So an empath, as you might imagine, is someone who takes empathy beyond what most people experience. They are so attuned, in fact, that without proper boundaries, they can absorb others’ energy (which can be quite overwhelming). As psychiatrist and author of The Empath’s Survival Guide Judith Orloff, M.D., previously explained to mbg, empaths are also sensitive, loving, and have finely tuned intuition—but can become “an emotional and physical sponge, absorbing the negativity and stress of the world....
