While we could have easily assembled a list of highly rated memory foam beds-in-a-box, we know you’ve likely turned to mindbodygreen because you care about your health and the health of Mother Earth. That’s why we did the extra legwork to vet each of these brands, not only for quality and nontoxic materials but for environmental efforts, too. Read on to find out how some of the best memory foam mattresses stack up in terms of quality, sustainability, comfort, and more....

Inside Triple Crown Salon, a studio in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, sustainable agriculture is a growing topic of conversation between stylists and their clients—and that’s by design. We spoke to owner and longtime CSA member Natasha Speth, back in early March, right before the pandemic, climate disasters, and political upheaval of this year had really taken a hold, and even then she said, “I think going back to the root of all things is really important…we need to think about the whole picture....

Or she gets out of a relationship, she says she’s “single and ready to mingle,” gets right back on Tinder, and has a new boyfriend a week later. She is never single for long. She’ll tell me she isn’t going to “apologize for getting out of a bad situation” and she “wishes people could be happy that she’s found happiness again.” I wish I could say that her constant matching and unmatching is due to the fact that she’s super amazing, hot, and funny (all of which she is), but it’s not....

Boredom isn’t pleasant, but it’s better than the alternative. When couples come to me complaining of sexual boredom, my antenna goes up. I know that boredom in the bedroom can be about a variety of things, but it’s generally not what they think. “Sexual boredom” has become a catchall term for what ails those who have lost interest in sex with their regular partner. It can mask unresolved conflict, power struggles, laundry lists of resentments, physical aftereffects from childbirth, depression, complacency, unsatisfactory birth control, feeling unappreciated, fear of rejection, lack of confidence, or other such vulnerabilities....

Here’s an overview of why deforestation is so harmful, what can be done about it, and why it happens in the first place. Annika Terrana, a forest director at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), tells mindbodygreen that at the current rate of deforestation, “we’re losing about 30 soccer fields’ worth of forest a minute.” Most of this is occurring in 24 key regions, which the WWF calls “deforestation fronts.” “Those are areas of forests across the tropics and subtropics of Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Oceania,” Terrana explains....
