As more professionals refuse to choose between career success and family time, a new playbook for balance is reshaping modern work-life culture. Balancing a career and a bustling family life is a modern juggling act. There's a constant pull between professional ambitions and the desire to be present for the people who matter most. Yet, with a little creativity and a lot of grace, it's not an impossible feat. You can make it work.

It's sea moss, the latest social media superfood. Sea moss is actually a generic term used to describe different red seaweed plants that grow in the North Atlantic, particularly off the Irish coast, as well as in warmer waters such as in parts of the Carribean, says Vanessa King, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dietetics.

East Harlem, also known as El Barrio, is one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods.

With its mix of culture, affluence, and authenticity, Hudson is also emerging as a cannabis hotspot. Many are now searching: Where can I find Exotic Weed in Hudson, NY?

We are living through an AI revolution. Boards are green-lighting pilots and buying AI licenses to maximize employee productivity. However, the most powerful performance lever in the modern workplace isn't algorithmic, it's human. When people are happier at work, they create, collaborate, and stay. When they aren't, the best tech in the world won't stop the value from leaking out of your organization.

Bushwick is a Brooklyn neighborhood known worldwide for its art, music, and culture. From street murals and underground clubs to creative food and nightlife, Bushwick thrives on originality.

It's small-batch cannabis that delivers distinct flavors, stronger highs, and authenticity.

Tennis is one of those rare sports that welcomes players of all ages and skill levels, offering both challenge and joy, whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or refining your game. And while some might cringe at the thought of playing tennis while on vacation, for many, it's the perfect blend of relaxation, social connection, and a refreshing break from the everyday.

Scarlett Espinoza was just getting serious about the gym when an accident set her back. She was practicing handstands at home in Miami, fell, and broke her ankle in three places. It took her months to relearn how to walk. Espinoza, 38, was frustrated by how challenging even basic tasks were - and nervous about losing her stride. Seeing her parents aging had gotten her thinking more seriously about longevity.

Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, personal priorities have shifted. Many began to recognize the fragility of health, the value of family, and the all-too-common symptoms of burnout. In response, they are adopting a different approach. A new trend known as "soft productivity" has emerged as a guiding philosophy for a growing number of working Americans. In the five years since the pandemic, it has steadily taken hold, reshaping what "normal" looks like on the job.

When I asked Ciara what motivated her to start taking even better care of her health, I was struck by her answer. "I just pray that I can be on this Earth for a long time, to witness a lot of beautiful moments that my kids are going to experience, and with Russ," the 39-year-old singer and record label CEO said emphatically over Zoom, referring to her NFL quarterback husband, Russell Wilson, and the blended family's four young children.

While many of us assume that diet is the only way to feed the trillions of microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi and viruses) that make up the microbiome, there are myriad daily habits that can help nurture this important part of the body. Diet often takes centre stage in discussions about the gut microbiome, and rightly so it plays a major role, says Dr Emily Leeming, a scientist, dietitian and research fellow at King's College London, and author of Genius Gut.

When I was younger, I had more time to take a spray-and-pray approach to my health and wellness,

For the majority of travelers, though, flying is a scrunched (and increasingly shrinking) torment that makes it impossible to fall asleep, exacerbates persistent back pain, or generally leaves them feeling sore and sour. That's too bad - especially if you're en route to a vacation with lots of walking. Or, god forbid, if you're an amateur athlete headed for a big event like a marathon or triathlon.

"You want your neck mostly in neutral, not bending too far to the right or left when lying on your side,"

A decade ago, it seems gut health was of little interest to people outside of GI doctors and dietitians. But today, as awareness of the important brain-gut connection becomes more mainstream, people are eager to "heal their gut," and the wellness industry is brimming with pre- and probiotic products that promise to do just that.

The implication of the ads is clear: You stink. Not just your armpits-your entire body, head to toe, absolutely reeks. In your default state, you're basically a gallon of milk accidentally left in a hot car. Never mind that an overwhelming percentage of the sweat glands on the human body don't actually produce body odor. According to the now-ubiquitous advertisements, whole-body deodorant is meant to be sprayed everywhere:

This summer, I did something unusual for me: I hit pause. After a year that included launching an in-person summit for nearly 200 women, hosting a retreat in Cabo, launching my podcast (with co-host Dr. Nicole Martin), and releasing a book, I was, in a word, tired. The kind of tired that no amount of coffee or color-coded planner could fix.

Expect a slow start to your morning as the week begins under the tender Cancer moon, helping you prioritize comfort and your emotional well-being.

Your charm, grace, and lightheartedness will make sure people don't forget your name. But you know what's really memorable? Making people feel seen, appreciated, and uplifted.

When visiting a legal New York dispensary, many consumers are looking for more than just THC percentage on a label. The true measure of a premium product comes from how cannabinoids and terpenes interact to create the entourage effect -a synergistic experience where multiple compounds work together to enhance flavor, potency, and overall impact. Products that emphasize this full-spectrum approach deliver deeper highs, longer-lasting effects, and more balanced wellness benefits.

A disproportionate amount of your success comes from your effort in the last 5%. Let's use fitness examples and then bring it back to work and life. Picture doing a plank. If you're feeling type A, do one after reading this. When you get to the point where you are ready to drop, say to yourself, "Just five more seconds." Count out loud, and you can do it.

In my previous post, I shared how, after a decade-long nightly drinking routine, I discovered that even one drink can ruin a good night's sleep. Today, as a sober therapist and sobriety guide, I work with many clients who hesitate to give up alcohol because they'll miss its " sleeping aid" effect. Knowing how vital sleep is to our physical and emotional well-being, I completely understand that fear.

Experts claim most healthy adults need seven to nine hours per night - but this is hardly exact, and it also depends on age and individual needs. Thankfully, a free online tool now tells if you're getting enough slumber. The sleep calculator, from non-profit organisation the Sleep Foundation, works out your optimum bedtime based on your details. It asks just two questions to ensure a decent amount of shut-eye each time - and it doesn't want your name or email address.

Start the day with protein Your first meal sets the tone for your energy and focus. Aim for 20-30 grams of protein at breakfast to help maintain lean muscle, support metabolism and keep you fuller for longer. Protein also helps stabilize blood sugar, which can prevent mid-morning crashes. This could be eggs with vegetables, yogurt with fruit and nuts, or a smoothie blended with protein sources. The key is making it a consistent habit and not just something you do on days you feel motivated.

Call it the box boom. In the past year, Kiehl's has rolled out a 96-hour vulva freshener and Dove launched an intimate deodorant advertised to the tune of Khia's 2001 hit My Neck, My Back (Lick It). There are muff-specific moisturizers now, as well as crotch-brightening creams, sprays to make your various nooks smell like bergamot and supplements to make your vagina taste sweeter. (Thanks, Kourtney Kardashian.)

As a grooming editor, sometimes the simplest upgrades are the most satisfying to write about-like a better bar soap or body wash, or even something as fundamental (yet transformative) as a shampoo upgrade. We've all tried those sudsers packed with a laundry list of questionable ingredients (usually sodium sulfates or the like) that strip hair, leaving it stiff and dry.
