Here, we’re diving into Aries’ personality traits and how they apply in love, career, and more. This is partly due to their planetary ruler, Mars. As the planet of desire, action, war, and heat, Mars is responsible for lots of the traits we associate with our Aries friends. As a Cardinal fire sign, Aries also likes to be on the move and travels a zillion miles an hour. It can be hard to keep up with an impassioned and empowered Aries....
In retrospect it’s silly, but I remember feeling pressured to hold out because that’s what I saw my new coworkers doing, but as a morning exerciser who doesn’t function well without a solid breakfast, I got over that pretty quickly. It took about a month of white-knuckling it to realize waiting to eat until 9 a.m. — four hours after I’d woken up — was just not going to work. Besides, who wants to be the ragey new girl?...
I’ve employed Manuka honey masks sporadically with fine results, but it was never life-changing. I wanted to test what it would do for my complexion—which is redness-prone, suffers from hormonal breakouts, and seems to be perpetually dehydrated—with everyday use. Instead of doing a daily Manuka mask, which sounded time-consuming and sticky, I decided to swap out all my cleansers for Manuka honey instead. I’m pretty lucky—while I’m certainly not one of those people who’s been genetically gifted with “great skin,” I don’t have a ton of skin problems either…as long as I’m keeping my sleep, diet, and stress in check, my complexion is relatively calm....
I’ve been married for almost 10 years to a wonderful man. Over the last five years, we/he has struggled with medical erectile dysfunction. (I hate those words.) We have tried many ways to continue to enjoy sex — orally, manually, using medication, which sometimes helps for a few minutes but more often does not. I fear that since so much time has passed, anxiety is now adding to the problem. We’ve discussed him seeing a therapist and perhaps couples counseling, but I can only encourage him....
Many people, at the advice of their doctor, take vitamins before, during, and after pregnancy. These tend to be highly targeted for optimal fetal growth and development—as well as maternal health. But those who already had a supplement may be left wondering where their other products fit into the lineup. Like, say, collagen supplements: Are they pregnancy safe, or do you need to put them on the bench for the time being?...
But when you finely grind and boil oats, you can extract colloidal material; this gel-like substance has a rather high lipid content (30%, to be exact). “These are the same moisture-trapping molecules that are plentiful in prepubescent skin,” says board-certified dermatologist Loretta Ciraldo M.D., FAAD. In other words, colloidal oats aren’t just regular oats—they have significant antioxidant properties that are unique to their makeup. Here, we break down the benefits of using colloidal oatmeal in skin care: “There are polysaccharides (long sugars) that bind water to the skin surface, making colloidal oatmeal a humectant....
As Michael Segovia, a senior consultant at The Myers-Briggs Company, explains to mbg, ENFPs are known to be spontaneous, creative, personable, energetic, and future-focused. And John Hackston, head of thought leadership at The Myers-Briggs Company, adds that they’re also enthusiastic, caring, and people-centered. These folks love to try or share new things, from ideas to experiences, but they can have some difficulty with follow-through. And Segovia adds that they’re also likely to feel overwhelmed or have a sudden change in emotions if they’re forced to make a decision before they’re ready for it....
