After a topsy-turvy eclipse weekend, the dust settles a bit this week as we take time to reflect. And between the sun and Mercury linking up in Virgo, and a quarter moon in Gemini, it’s actually the perfect time for deep thinking. Here’s your horoscope.
HelloFresh was among the first meal kit delivery services in the U.S., but its seniority doesn’t make it complacent or stagnant. In fact, the meal delivery service is continually innovating. Earlier this month, HelloFresh introduced a new menu featuring high-protein recipes every week. Each week, subscribers will also have access to over 100 recipes (that’s twice as many options as before), and at least 15 of those recipes will be high in protein—all at no extra cost. In advance of this new launch, the kind folks at HelloFresh sent me one of their weekly boxes to test and review. I…
If you haven’t been to the movies in a while, you…actually probably won’t be surprised to learn that, like everything else, tickets are getting more expensive. According to The Numbers, a seat for the average movie in the U.S. now costs $11.31, up from $9.16 in 2019. Depending on where you live, or if you’re seeing a show in a premium format, it might be a lot more. (In Brooklyn, I count myself lucky if I can see a Saturday night show for less than $20.)That’s why theater subscription services like AMC Stubs A-List can save you a lot. For…
For the purposes of this routine, grab an antioxidant-rich hair oil and saturate your strands from root to tip, paying extra attention to the scalp. Leave your hair coated for at least 30 minutes, or better yet, give yourself a tension-relieving scalp massage for an extra few: “Use your finger pads (not nails) to apply medium-firm pressure to your scalp, in a circular motion,” board-certified dermatologist Raechele Cochran Gathers, M.D., founder of MDHairMixtress, previously told mbg. You can even use a scalp massager tool to work in the product and further stimulate circulation if you please. Repeat every wash day…
The years leading up to menopause (the point 12 months after your last period) are called perimenopause, and you can find out more about what this means here and understand the signs and symptoms here. Hormone levels – particularly oestrogen and progesterone – start to fluctuate and eventually decline. This affects weight in a few key ways:• Insulin resistance: Studies suggest that insulin resistance increases with the drop in oestrogen, meaning your metabolism can change gears at menopause leading to weight gain.• Changes in fat distribution: Falling oestrogen encourages fat to be stored around the abdomen rather than hips and…
Do you sit down to breakfast early or late? The answer matters, research suggests, because when you eat may make a difference in your overall health and even how long you live.A new study has found that people tend to experience gradual shifts in meal times as they age, and for older individuals, eating later — especially breakfast — may be linked to underlying physical and mental problems including depression, fatigue, and oral health issues.[1]Most notably, the findings suggested that people who ate breakfast on the late side were slightly more likely to die prematurely compared with people who had…
I just moved into a new apartment, and I’m using it as an opportunity to refresh my kitchen gear. In light of what I’ve learned about microplastics from experts this year, I’ve prioritized removing plastic from my kitchen wherever I can. I know I’ll never get rid of it entirely, but a few swaps have been incredibly easy—and almost mindless—so I have no choice but to stick with them. The cutting boards and food storage containers below are so great, I don’t miss their plastic predecessors at all. In most cases, I even prefer them! Swapped Plastic Containers for Glass…
If you were on the food blogosphere in the early 2010s, you know The Pioneer Woman. She burst on the scene with her blog, where she shared recipes, stories, and lifestyle content from her ranch in Oklahoma. Several of her recipes became instant favorites (I still make her cinnamon rolls every year), and it didn’t take long for the internet to take notice. In 2011, her show premiered on the Food Network, and she’s been gracing our screens with fresh recipes ever since. We’re big fans of the home-chef-turned-superstar. We whip out her Cranberry Brie Bites every holiday season, keep…
Key Takeaways Scientists have shown that the full moon does not cause changes in human behavior.People might act differently during a full moon because they expect things to be unusual. “It must be a full moon.” How often do we use that phrase when we encounter careless drivers on the road, unruly subway riders or generally bizarre behavior? It’s a tradition that dates back to the first century when both Greek philosopher Aristotle and Roman historian Pliny the Elder hypothesized that a full moon induced madness across the land it illuminated. In fact, “lunatic” comes from the Latin lunaticus, for…
