The Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator (BF+DA) is a community where aspiring and up-and-coming designers can gather for advice, materials and equipment. The catch? They have to be willing to create a line that is crafted with the planet in mind. Take Mara Hoffman’s new boho bathing suits made from recycled spandex, or Eileen Fisher’s entire line of staples made from recycled cashmere, wool and cotton that’s been re-spun into new fabric....
That’s because consuming a variety of them helps meet your daily nutrient needs. “The recommendation is to consume at least five servings a day, [with] ideally two servings of leafy greens, one serving of cruciferous veggies, and two servings of other veggies,” says Nisha Melvani, RDN, creator of Cooking for Peanuts. “When we say root veggies, we mean plants that we eat the underground part of […] These underground parts form to store carbohydrates as energy for the growing plant,” Nielsen says....

And the latest understanding of brain development gives valuable insights into what your child is capable of at different ages.

Still, it seems she constantly finds fault with me. Nothing is ever enough.” It was obvious that these two people had read The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman and taken his wisdom and suggestions to heart, and like many people, they believed his formula would cure their many relationship troubles....

The reason being, all relationships have certain relational dynamics.
