March 03, 2020 11:01 - 3 minutes - 1.79 MBBy Jenny Jin A swollen face, a bright red nose, and puffy eyes from crying are all a dead giveaway that you aren’t feeling your best. There’s some value in figuring out how to make yourself cry if you’re in need of a little catharsis, but in many cases, you don’t want to broadcast the fact that you’ve been shaken up or perturbed enough to shed a few tears—and those swollen eyes from crying are difficult to miss.

The Next Big Trend in Interior Design Is All About Introverts(Real Simple Tips, Thursday)
February 27, 2020 11:01 - 4 minutes - 1.9 MBBy Lauren Phillips No two introverts are exactly alike, but if you consider yourself to be introverted, you probably don’t love huge parties where you don’t know many people; you likely relish your alone time.

3 Interior Design Concepts That Feel Outdated in 2020(Real Simple Tips, Thursday)
February 20, 2020 19:31 - 3 minutes - 1.5 MBBy Katie Holdefehr As times change, it's inevitable that certain interior design concepts that were coined decades (or even centuries) ago no longer apply.

February 19, 2020 11:01 - 5 minutes - 2.29 MBBy Ariel Klein When I was a teenager, sleeping until the early afternoon was effortless—as a matter of fact, I think it was nearly impossible for me to get anything less than 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep. But as I got older, I noticed my body would naturally wake itself up at 6:30 a.m., and getting back to sleep was completely hopeless. Now that I’m in my 30s, my sleep patterns have changed so drastically that “sleeping in” means waking up by 8 a.m.

February 14, 2020 11:01 - 3 minutes - 1.62 MBBy Betty Gold What matters most? The fact that we’re eating veggies in the first place.

February 12, 2020 11:01 - 2 minutes - 1.25 MBBy Maggie Seaver You’ve probably heard the theory that stress can age you. Maybe you or someone you know has experienced it personally—or simply compare any photos of a U.S. president from before and after their term in office.

February 10, 2020 11:01 - 3 minutes - 1.48 MBBy Katie Holdefehr For many of us, the kitchen countertop is one of the main clutter collectors in our households. Which means, if we let our guard down, step away, or so much as blink for a second, this surface will soon be overflowing with mail, spices, spatulas, and bottles of Sriracha.

Why Chicken Soup Always Makes You Feel Better When You're Sick(Real Simple Tips, Friday)
January 24, 2020 11:01 - 3 minutes - 1.8 MBBy Chris Malloy Soups are linked with curative properties. There’s a reason, for example, that chicken soup cooked in the Jewish tradition with matzo balls is often called “penicillin,” and that chicken soup is associated with grandmothers and nourishment, warmth, and soulfulness.

January 15, 2020 11:01 - 7 minutes - 3.5 MBIn our always-on society, there’s great temptation, and even pressure, to shortchange sleep. In fact, there's a real misconception that sleep deprivation is some kind of heroic feat, a boastworthy indication of how hard you work, how early you can wake up, how little sleep you (think) you need, how active and social and busy you are. But sleep isn't just a cozy reward after a long day—and it's certainly not a sign of laziness or weakness.

Lotion Isn’t the Best Way to Moisturize—Here’s What to Use Instead
January 07, 2020 11:02 - 3 minutes - 1.42 MBBy Claudia Fisher There's a bigger difference between lotion and other moisturizers than you might think. Slathering lotion all over your body has probably become second nature if you're worried about drying out your skin, especially after showers when you're supposed to try to trap as much moisture in your skin as possible. Unfortunately, winding up with enough lotion on your body for a DIY Slip 'N Slide isn't necessarily the same as moisturizing.
