I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” ~Maya Angelou I used to believe that healing and personal transformation required a lot of effort—writing page after page in a journal or getting up at the crack of dawn to carry out a morning routine, to name a couple. When I moved through a phase of numbness—or the tunnel of darkness, as I now call it—it was frightening, and there seemed to…

As the weather gets colder and the air gets drier, it’s a familiar (and frustrating) rite of passage for your lips to turn into a cracked, flaky mess. And the only relief, however temporary, seems to come from piling on layers of your most “hydrating” lip balm.Ironically, though, you may have found that your lips somehow feel even more dehydrated after swiping or slathering. And so the cycle begins: reapply again…and again…and again. And when the long-lasting moisture you expected never comes, it’s natural to wonder: Are these balms, butters, and glosses making your cracked lips worse? According to Susan…
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been influenced by a social media ad to buy a £45 green powder that promised to have me jumping out of bed like the Duracell bunny every morning. And I’d also be lying if I didn’t admit to dropping a few hundred pounds on a red-light LED mask claiming to boost collagen and transform my skin.If the algorithm has ever convinced you that the secret to feeling great lies in a supplement, cold plunge or ‘biohacking’ yourself in midlife, you’re not alone. Social media has turned wellness into a 24/7 pursuit, part…
Did you know you can customize Google to filter out garbage? Take these steps for better search results, including adding Lifehacker as a preferred source for tech news.The way you study something will likely vary depending on how familiar you are with the subject matter. If you’re fairly acquainted with the core concepts, you can force active recall by using flashcards to review, or enhance your grasp of a topic by teaching it to someone else, for instance. But what about when you’re first encountering a new piece of information and you have no real context for it? A lot of reading techniques…
A trip to Aldi is a little more chaotic than a traditional grocery store. Its shopping cart model, quick checkout, and self bagging may take a little getting used to. But the deals, steals, and copycat homewares make it oh-so worth it. Now through Oct. 21, shoppers will find an extra special copycat in the Aldi “Aisle of Shame.” The budget grocer is offering three versions of a stainless steel kitchen staple, and it looks remarkably similar to an expensive All-Clad version. But the Aldi Find is less than $35. Aldi’s Crofton Crofton Stainless Steel Pasta Pot Allrecipes / Aldi…
Looking to boost your protein intake without animal products? A vegan protein powder might just be the perfect addition to your diet. Ideal for plant-based eaters and athletes with higher protein needs, they provide a convenient, non-animal-derived protein source. Finding the right one can feel like a balancing act, especially with all the different options like hemp, pea, soy, rice, and multi-source blends.

Our dietitians dove deep into the world of vegan protein powders, analyzing research,…
1. Increases Energy and Improves MoodB complex vitamins — and thiamine, in particular — help convert the food you eat into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a type of usable energy for your cells.

Taking a supplement with thiamine may help prevent a deficiency and leave you feeling energized.Having low levels of B vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin, biotin, and pyridoxine, may also contribute to depression and anxiety. In addition, a deficiency in folate and cobalamin may also cause symptoms of depression, according to Mayo Clinic.…
The spice cumin can work as well as orlistat, the “anal leakage” obesity drug. In my video Friday Favorites: Benefits of Black Cumin for Weight Loss, I discussed how a total of 17 randomized controlled trials showed that the simple spice could reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. And its side effects? A weight-loss effect. Saffron is another spice found to be effective for treating a major cause of suffering—depression, in this study, with a side effect of decreased appetite. Indeed, when put to the test in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, saffron was found to lead to significant weight loss,…
