When I became pregnant with our first child, a baby boy, it was a topic that quickly surfaced as something that needed deep attention and discussion. My husband was also concerned that our son might be teased for looking different from most other boys his age. However, what many people might not know, is that this surgery has actually been consistently declining in the U.S. In 2010, it was actually just 58 percent....
Among these hyper-perceptive clients who pick up easily on subtle physical stimuli (the noise in a room) or even emotional and energetic stimuli (the happiness of the lovers strolling down the street), I started to notice a dominant soul archetype among certain sensitive clients—the earth angel. Check out my new book Are You an Earth Angel?, and read through these fun earth angel types to see if you recognize yourself in one....
Here’s a simple attachment style quiz to find out what your type is, plus descriptions of the four attachment styles and what to do once you know yours. “Your attachment style is your mind’s template for how safe you are in a relationship,” clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, Ph.D., recently told mbg. Here’s a quick overview of the four attachment styles: Here’s how common each of the other attachment styles is according to foundational attachment research, which actually did not include fearful-avoidant attachment in the study: For example, if you have an anxious attachment style, you can start by telling the people you’re dating about your tendency to need a lot of reassurance in relationships and why certain actions can trigger your insecurities....
Especially around the New Year, the chase to quickly evolve into a whole new you can become engulfing, overstimulating, and even addicting.

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....
There are several ways to achieve dewy skin: It takes the right balance of moisture, exfoliation, nutrients, and tenderness. (Or, as any makeup artist will tell you, you can also mimic the look with the right products and tricks—which we’re all for faking a natural glow if your skin just isn’t having that type of day.) And ultimately, your skin care path will look different from that of someone who has another skin type....

Great creatives through time have felt they couldn’t have come up with their work on their own, so it must have been divinely inspired. “Depending on what you believe, this could be inspiration from God, universal source energy, ascended masters, archangels, spirit guides, ancestors, or even your higher self,” she notes, adding, “I like to say that divine inspiration is the support of love energy guiding you....
