While tea might play second fiddle to the likes of coffee here in the U.S., it’s still one of the most widely consumed beverages on the planet. If you strive to find mini moments of calm throughout the day, the ritual of brewing a hot cup can be therapeutic in and of itself—but you can double down on the benefits by choosing specific teas with relaxing qualities. Jasmine tea is one such variety that can simultaneously help you move, groove, and soothe.

If someone asked what you had for breakfast, you might imagine maple syrup drizzled on a stack of pancakes or the satisfying crunch of granola topped with fruit.

For people with hyperphantasia, recollections of breakfasts from months or even years ago can be so vivid that it’s almost like having actual pancakes right in front of them.

What Is Hyperphantasia? How to Tell If You Have an Extremely Vivid Imagination

No two groups seem to be as polar opposite as feminists and tradwives—that is, the "traditional wives" of social media who tend to preach submissiveness in marriage and that "a woman's place is in the home."

It happened again: you were out playing a casual game of pickleball with friends when that one person lost their temper over a missed point. They even hurled their racket across the court and nearly got you all kicked out—not to mention their shouting on the car ride home about how they “totally had it” and “could have hit the ball if you hadn’t been in the way.” Even if this exact scenario doesn’t sound familiar, it’s likely that you’ve known someone—or are someone—who consistently expresses themselves using aggressive communication. An intimidation tactic, aggressive communication can create discord among friends, family members, and loved ones. So, if you’re the one perpetuating this behavior, you might want to take a step back and re-evaluate your approach to communication.

When American B-girl Sunny Choi isn’t killing it on the dance floor, you’ll likely find her experimenting in the kitchen.

Once again, folks in the west are waking up to the all-too-familiar hazy skies of wildfire season. Cities in Oregon and northern California are feeling the brunt of two large blazes, and other states are getting smoke from fires in Canada, too. As air quality alerts continue to become a normal—albeit dystopian—part of life, it can feel easier to shove them aside and try to keep your day-to-day unchanged. However, experts say there is one part of your routine you should modify when air quality is bad: your exercise routine.

If you keep seeing TikToks about "moon face" or "cortisol face" and are wondering what the heck that means, well, welcome to the club. I was confused myself until I recently went down a social media rabbit hole, where I discovered videos (with thousands of views, BTW) of people showing their swollen, puffy faces and blaming too-high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. After sharing tales of woe, and a few "before" and "after" pics, many posters end their videos with not-so-discreet callouts to buy their ebook, use their products, or "learn more at the link in bio," so viewers can get rid of their moon face, too.
