Since Sagittarius season has started, though, there’s been a fun, energizing feeling—almost like spring. It feels like we’re all getting the sleep out of our collective eyes and saying, “OK! I have the energy for my ideas now! I have ideas!” It’s felt refreshing. This will look different for everyone, but the energy could show up as something like plans not working out, for example, but actually having more fun than if things had gone the way you thought they would....

Plot twist: Now you can get cupping for your face, or you can do it yourself at home. If that sounds like a scary but intriguing prospect, it’s because it is! But don’t worry—like gua sha, facial cupping is a less intense version of the classic body treatment that utilizes small silicone cups (instead of larger glass ones used on the back) for similar benefits: detoxification, increased circulation, lymph drainage, and as a result, younger-looking, glowier skin....

However, the reality is that many people (close to 40 million U.S. adults) are actually not getting enough zinc1, and one group who should be especially cognizant about their intake of this mineral is pregnant women. It is a resounding yes that you should be taking zinc while pregnant, and in fact, it’s actually one of the staple minerals to focus on during those nine months. It’s important to note that while carrying a child your zinc needs actually increase....

The problem is, these quick fixes don’t actually work long-term. The crash is never far behind—so it’s back to the coffee to start the cycle again, turning your day into a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Here’s what we know so far about how adaptogens can help with the stress response and a rundown of my favorite types to take: They enhance the body’s ability to cope with stress slowly and gently, without jolts or crashes....

This is why I find it challenging to write about skin and hair changes within the context of hormonal birth control. What one person experiences will not hold true for the rest: There are simply too many variables. However, there are valid reasons people may experience either of these according to dermatologists. But, again, derms also note that this is a tricky area in which no one’s experience is the same as the rest....

And never was this more true than with eyeshadow. While eyeshadow is considered a staple item that isn’t going anywhere, it’s come a long way from its origin story. Eye makeup has been around since before the time of Cleopatra. But with so many options from powders to creams to liquids and even glossy looks, it’s completely understandable if you walk down the makeup aisle and feel overwhelmed. Powders can be applied with your fingers or brushes....

Insert anything you would like to happen. Have you ever made a statement like this? One of the downsides to emotional dependence is that when things don’t happen in our favor, our mood and feelings of self-worth are likely to be negatively affected. Functioning in this way affects our sense of peace because factors outside of us continually ebb and flow. People’s opinions of us are outside of our control. Those who are emotionally independent typically don’t have to look to sources outside of themselves to let them know that they are OK....
