As a fitness editor who has watched the “Electricity” music video dozens of times, I wanted to know more about (and try out) her workout routine. It’s clear that she makes her health a priority, but how does she stay in such great shape while touring? “I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session, which I can do before I start my day,” she said in an interview with Viva....
The best way to think of a dom-sub relationship is as “a consensual, eroticized exchange of power,” a definition that was introduced by Cynthia Slater, an early leader in the SF Bay Area BDSM community, according to sexologist Carol Queen, Ph.D. Dom and sub relationships are represented by the “DS” in the acronym BDSM, which stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. The power differential between the dom and sub is sometimes memorialized with capital and small-case letters: You will often see the acronym written D/s, Queen notes....
While dreams remain a somewhat mysterious function of the human brain, they’re undoubtedly fascinating. So, we asked experts all your burning questions, from why we dream every night, to how to interpret your last wonky nightmare. Here’s what to know. Dreams help us “process the emotion-laden events of the day and then store these memories in our associative web of memories,” she notes. This can explain why we have recurring dreams, she adds, as deeply emotional events like trauma or grief can take a while to process....
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....
Although they’re great now, you can’t help but imagine how the relationship could go horribly wrong. You think maybe this means they’re not the right person for you because if they were, you wouldn’t feel this uneasy about letting them in. You feel overwhelmed, so you respond by backing away, then ultimately shutting down the connection and moving on. Better to end it now before you can get really hurt. When someone wants to connect on a deeper level, the person with intimacy issues may even want it too, but the fear of possible hurt is stronger....
Instead, one powerful method is adopting a whole-person approach that integrates the full complexity of an individual (mind, body, lifestyle, stress management behaviors, and beyond). Enter: functional nutrition. “With an emphasis on personalized food and lifestyle approaches to wellness and disease management, functional nutrition focuses on the patient (not just on their disease or condition) while taking a holistic approach to optimizing an individual’s health based on their unique needs,” says registered dietitian Jess Cording, M....
Gemini is represented by two people talking back and forth (the twins) in constant conversation, further reinforcing that this is a social sign with an affinity for gossip and a strong need for mental and physical stimulation. As an air sign, Gemini is also associated with the mind and knowledge. Geminis form connections through dialogue, communication, debate, and questions. Like the ever-curious child constantly asking Why?, Geminis like to pick things apart to understand them....
