“Hold your hands over them and see if you feel anything that draws you in,” she suggests, or close your eyes, then open them, “and see which one really stands out,” she adds. Before you go the research route, it’s important to take some time to consider what you really need. Leavy notes that she’s had people come into her store looking for a crystal for love, for example, when it turns out what they really needed in the love department was more confidence or better communication....

I’m an evangelical Christian dating an atheist physicist. Despite my attempts to evade it, I fell in love with someone whose worldview appeared opposite to my own. Our relationship has taught me more about unconditional love than any sermon ever did. Here are three lessons that have guided me in my interfaith relationship. Usually, we aren’t even aware of our resistance until it falls away. My partner and I have moments of experimenting with belief systems to better relate to each other....

That said, many have been searching for ways to keep their creative juices flowing, whether you’re facing a WFH slump or are simply looking for new ways to get inspired. That’s why we consulted Elizabeth Stein, founder and CEO of Purely Elizabeth; Stein sure knows a thing or two about creativity (especially in the entrepreneurial space), as she’s personally using this time to turn lemons into, well, blueberry lemon oatmeal. It’s a little more difficult to replicate during our new normal: Travel is limited, not all restaurants are opening their doors, and social distancing is still very much in effect....

On the negative side, potentially toxic chemicals and carcinogens can find their way into your bloodstream through creams, perfumes, and cosmetics. Herbal teas are a wonderful addition to your daily skin care regimen. Teas such as green, black, and peppermint are aromatically uplifting and can help to tighten pores. Chamomile and lavender flowers are calming and can help to reduce inflammation. The next time you steep some herbal tea, keep the used tea bags, open them up, and use them in your face masks and scrubs....

This isn’t a commentary on physicians—we love our MDs and DOs! But it is a reflection of the physician shortage affecting our country. In fact, we’re estimated to hit a deficit of more than 121,000 physicians by 2030. The shortage of docs is already creating huge barriers to healthcare access, especially in rural areas, where only 11% of physicians choose to practice. Take Kentucky, for instance, where 102 of the 120 counties have been designated as “medically underserved areas....

Here, get into the details, causes, how to tend to them naturally (it is possible), and easy prevention tips. You may also hear them called “smile lines,” “marionette lines,” or the more technical “nasolabial folds,” says aesthetic registered nurse Neethi Masur, R.N. at SKINNEY MedSpa. If you’re having trouble picturing this, go to the mirror and shoot yourself a big grin. The distinct lines that you see that appear like a stretched-out closed parenthesis?...
