Gemini, for instance, is a mutable air sign, while Cancer is a cardinal water sign. Air signs aren’t known for being particularly emotional, while emotions are a telltale priority of water signs. “Gemini wouldn’t be described as emotional—maybe detached or looking at things from up above or from various angles—and moving fast and looking forward,” she explains. Cancer, on the other hand, likes to call on their collection of memories, diving into protected and specific emotional places in their mind, which can be difficult to translate to Gemini....

Why is that? The answer is simple: The quality of her eggs is poor. Eggs are cells just like any other cell in the body, and they, too, age as a woman gets older. This means that although eggs may be released during ovulation, there are oftentimes defects in these eggs that do not allow them to be fertilized in such a way as to produce a normal pregnancy. I like to think of eggs as cars....

The oil is heated because it is thought to help open the cuticle and let the oil penetrate deeper. “The idea with heat is that it breaks down the bonds and helps coat it better,” says board-certified dermatologist Doris Day, M.D. “I get the theory behind it, but there isn’t data to prove it.

Your indoor greenery can probably survive without fertilizer (as long as it gets adequate water and sunlight), but adding it can help plants really thrive. “In general, nitrogen is the be-all and end-all of nutrients,” Jonathan Russell-Anelli, Ph.D., a senior lecturer in Cornell’s School of Integrative Plant Science, tells mbg. “It is generally the most limiting, and it is needed in abundance and is often needed quickly. P and K also are often required beyond the soil’s ability to meet immediate needs....

But what wasn’t so evident was that we had a very unhealthy dynamic: he was addicted to power and I was addicted to giving mine away. He had opinions about everything I said or did, and insisted upon having the final say in our household. Once, for example, I disagreed with his decision to purchase an income property, and he told me that, until he made a bad choice financially, I had no say in how our money was spent....

So instead of letting the process of getting pregnant become an all-consuming obsession, I realized the best thing for my mental health was learning to let go. Here’s how I learned to cope with the hard realities of getting pregnant: I had been looking forward to being a mother ever since I was a little girl, so I hadn’t ever considered the option before. But now, I shifted my mindset from despair and dejection to a new inquiry I had never pondered: I’m not going to have children, so now what?...

It seems like it should be pretty clear-cut, no? Well, like most things in health, beauty, and wellness—there’s actually some nuance. Here, we break down what you need to know. The protein is naturally found in many areas of the body, including the skin, muscles, joints, bones, and gut. In fact, there are at least 28 kinds of collagen1 that we know of that exist in vertebrates, which includes us—however, collagen types I through III are the most common....
