This Korean form of meditation that I learned at a young age is active, dynamic, and woven into our everyday experience. More philosophy than active practice, it’s a living meditation that helps us engage with life more deeply and discover our place and purpose in the world.

The right foods for you should make you feel satisfied and energized, not sick and sleepy. There is no preordained, across-the-board “right,” just what’s right for you.

A quick science lesson: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. It’s an essential micronutrient, meaning the human body is unable to make its own (unlike most other animals that are able to synthesize the vitamin)....

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....

That being said, not all forms of hair loss are permanent either—especially if you actively treat the scalp to encourage regrowth. Hair loss in women and men is alike in many ways and different in some. Here, the difference between the two and what derms want you to know about treating and preventing hair loss.
