For most of my life, I’ve worn bike shorts or slip shorts under my dresses and skirts. Hey, you never know when a rogue breeze or a klutzy stumble might reveal a little more than you intended. I think my insistence on this extra layer started when I was a teen in the ‘90s — or right after, actually. Skorts, which are skirts with shorts underneath or a skirt-in-front/shorts-in-back hybrid, were all the rage back then. While they eventually fell out of fashion, I still longed for the security, freedom and modesty they offered.

I found the most functional skort — it has five pockets and sun protective fabric

We often think of vacation as a time to rest, but if you wear a fitness tracker, you know that you can end up getting far more steps in while traveling than you normally do at home. After all, when visiting a new place, you want to move around and look at the unfamiliar sights. That means some serious walking, especially if you're visiting a destination notorious for trails and hikes. Plus, if you're vacationing in Europe, you're likely to find a lot of cobblestone streets or uneven paths. So, you need to pack the right shoes.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
