As licensed psychotherapist Babita Spinelli, L.P., J.D., notes, these people can have a really negative impact on others through their behavior, whether they’re attempting to manipulate someone, control them, or abuse them in any way. “Then there’s another added layer where there are those who do it sadistically to cause drama or watch someone squirm,” Neo adds. That said, some people can have toxic traits without necessarily realizing the effect they’re having on other people....

Read on for a deeper dive into the world of broad-spectrum hemp, as well as a rundown of some of the best broad-spectrum hemp CBD products for a THC-free chill. The THC is typically removed during the extraction process, and batches are then third-party tested to ensure 0.0% THC, which is the defining quality of “broad-spectrum.” According to Gordon, if you’re unsure whether a product is full or broad-spectrum, it’s best to take a look at a product’s third-party test results—and definitely steer clear of any products that don’t share that information publicly on their website....

People who practice relationship anarchy, sometimes abbreviated as RA, are beholden to themselves and only themselves when it comes to choosing who they conduct sexual or romantic relationships with and how they do it. Relationship anarchists look to form relationships with people that are based entirely on needs, wants, and desires rather than on socially mandated labels and expectations. Some central tenets of relationship anarchy are freedom, communication, and nonhierarchy. An RA mindset also seeks to dissolve the strict divides between platonic friendship and sexual or romantic love that exist in wider society....

Eloping has almost become an umbrella term, as it could still describe a “runaway” situation between two lovers who want to get married, but it can also be a small destination wedding, a courthouse wedding, or even a spur-of-the-moment wedding. People who elope typically have 20 guests or fewer at their wedding ceremony, if they have any at all, compared to the traditional wedding that may have anywhere from 100 to 300+ guests....

Six months later, during my senior spring semester of college, I was still on the Doxy — though I wasn’t sure if I’d actually cured the Lyme Disease. I could bend my legs. My neck seemed OK. But I still felt tired and foggy. My stomach felt off, but that’s often a side-effect of antibiotics. Above all, I was afraid of the Lyme still being in my system, and so my doctor and I agreed that I’d continue on the antibiotics for one more month....

This movement through the astrological ages is a backward motion, so it goes from Pisces to Aquarius. Nobody is certain when or if the official shift from Pisces to Aquarius occurred—and it’s thought to be a lengthy transition—but many agree that it happened over the last few decades and we are, in fact, living in the Aquarian age. As we move deeper into the Age of Aquarius, the values that humanity has organized around must change to reflect the current astrological age....

This extra light not only makes it seem like there have been full moons for a few nights in a row, but it’s also long provided farmers with more light to harvest their summer crops—hence the name “Harvest Moon.” (Not to mention this is the time of year when farmers harvest the last of their crops ahead of winter.) And along with being a significant moon for farmers of the past, this moon also has significance spiritually, with the autumn equinox representing the halfway point of the astrological year and full moons being a time of great release and transformation....
