A lot has changed since; I find my vegan recipes on TikTok, and that small dairy-free section is triple the size. Yet I don’t actually take advantage of my seemingly endless selection of dairy-free milks and creamers. Instead, I stock my fridge with fresh coconut, cashew, and almond milk from my Almond Cow Machine. Here’s why I recommend the Almond Cow to everyone I know—dairy-free or not. If you’re wondering how such a simple process justifies the hefty price tag, it all comes down to the simplicity of the machine—and the benefits it brings....

To address what you are no doubt thinking: No, I am not a frigid, antisocial, boring buzzkill. In fact, if I do say so myself, I’m actually quite fun and outgoing when I need to be. I am, however, a very deep processor, extremely aware of the emotions of myself and others, and an avid appreciator of little things in life that often go unnoticed—in other words, I am a textbook example of what is referred to as an HSP, or a highly sensitive person....

Why this happens is a topic of robust debate in nutritional circles. It’s likely a combination of factors: a genetic predisposition combined with a sedentary, stressful, and sleep-deprived lifestyle; decades of processed foods and medications that have altered the microbiome; or even (unfortunately) overconsuming the healthy-seeming multigrain breads, bananas, and beans, which all turn to sugar in the blood. All this can lower your personal “set point” for tolerating carbohydrates so that your blood sugars don’t fall back to normal within two hours of eating as they should....

We often talk about orgasms with the assumption that they’re always pleasurable and always wanted, but that’s far from the reality. “Physical stimulation alone is sometimes enough to elicit a physiological orgasm response, even in situations when negative affect is high and psychological and physical arousal and desire are absent,” the researchers write in the paper. These experiences may be related to arousal nonconcordance, in which the mind and body are out of sync: The body is aroused when the mind isn’t, or vice versa....

Just as models do for runway shows and celebrities for red carpets, you should be prepping your skin before an ounce of makeup touches your face. With the proper prep, your makeup will look better and stay on longer—so why not? While holiday parties may be the most timely, big event prep is a must any time of year, so save this one to look back on next time you’re going all out....

After you’ve left a gaslighting relationship, you may be feeling a variety of emotions—anger, relief, sadness, and even despair. All these feelings are normal after any breakup but especially so after a breakup with a gaslighter. Not only are you grappling with the loss of someone you perhaps cared a lot about, but you’re also processing the pain of being hurt by that person: You entrusted your heart to someone who wasn’t who you thought they were, and they made a concerted effort to trick you, to undermine your self-confidence, and to make you question your reality....

Research is still ongoing about the ways bergamot can be used to support health and well-being, but we’ve compiled what’s out there so far. Although not yet researched for fighting the bacteria that cause acne, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), bergamot has been tested for its antimicrobial power against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Not to gross you out, but in one study, scientists found that bergamot inhibited the growth of staph introduced to fish samples3....
