According to a 2021 Environmental Protection Agency analysis1 that quantifies six types of environmental impacts like air quality and extreme temperatures, Black and African American individuals are projected to face higher impacts of climate change, compared to all other demographic groups. In short, individuals most affected by climate change are inspired and motivated but need the support and resources to build environmental solutions that can make an impact. That’s why Tom’s of Maine is introducing its first-ever Incubator initiative....

Maybe I feel like eating cookies instead of going for a run right now. Good, this is a plan I can follow! But I thought this was supposed to get me healthy. And as much as I love cookies, I’m pretty sure my cookie-tarian diet isn’t going to get me there. There are two layers of feeling at work here. One is feeling in your body, your core, your nature.

What’s more, everyone’s body is different, so people respond to substances in their own unique way. Plus, sometimes it’s easier to ramp up something slowly rather than go straight for the higher dose, which is why I often recommend microdosing to my patients in various contexts. Recently, one practice I’ve been fascinated with is microdosing caffeine. One way to optimize your intake is through microdosing, or consuming small amounts of caffeine throughout the day....

According to certified sex therapist Holly Richmond, Ph.D., LMFT, CST, cuffing can be as simple as consistently hooking up with someone you know isn’t going to be a long-term partner, sometimes even “going below what your typical standards might be in the summer.” Not to say a “cuff” can never turn into something long-term, but typically, it doesn’t look like your usual committed relationship.
