I’m brown, and nearly everything about my world and my lived experiences is affected by my brownness. It affects how people talk to me, how much teachers have paid attention to me, how safe or alone I feel when I walk into a public space or a meeting room or a yoga studio, who’s willing to date me. For black people, it affects your likeliness to get hired, your ability to move into certain neighborhoods, how much doctors will pay attention to your pain1, and how police will treat you....

“I often drink Topo Chico daily, sometimes up to four to five bottles per day but usually one to two,” Attia told mindbodygreen. “As I fast for seven days once a quarter, Topo Chico helps me get through not eating food…having somewhat of a variety compared to just water is amazing.” If drinking nearly half a dozen bottles of Topo Chico a day seems extreme, consider that few brands enjoy as vociferous a devotion as this particular sparkling mineral water, which is bottled in the north Mexican city of Monterrey....

Mycotoxins have also been associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms2 including pain syndromes, movement disorders, delirium, and disorders of balance and coordination. It’s a common but potentially harmful mildew that we see often in the remediation industry throughout the home—mostly on windows and surrounding frames and sills; on doors and frames leading outside; under bath mats; on shower curtains, often between the liner and the curtain; and on bathroom grout or caulk....

So when I had the opportunity to get a (virtual) tea leaf reading with Sandra Mariah Wright and Leanne Marrama, authors of Reading the Leaves: An Intuitive Guide to the Ancient Art and Modern Magic of Tea Divination, I was interested and eager to give it a go. To start, Wright and Marrama first asked me what I wanted to get out of the reading. I kept it relatively simple, asking for clarity around three of the most common topics in divination: my career, my health, and my love life....

Whenever we left the house, I made sure to take my keys and purse, just in case we got separated. But that night, when I went to grab my purse off its knob in the hallway, a voice inside told me not to take it. Each building in our large complex was lit up by one streetlight, and they were separated by dark pathways. As we got farther from our place, my roommate noticed there were three men trailing behind us....

It has thick, succulent-like green (and sometimes cream-colored) leaves that absorb and store water reserves in case of drought. Interestingly enough, in the wild, Peperomias can grow on other plants. “Peperomia plants take up their nutrients from the air, rain, and debris around them, so they don’t actually need to be planted in soil,” explains Danae Horst, founder of Folia Collective and author of Houseplants for All. In a home setting, this means the Peperomia can make for a great mounted plant....

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....
