Over the last few years, several top models have made it a point to represent and empower people living with vitiligo, a condition that causes the loss of skin color in blotches. “While growing up, I was teased, ridiculed and bullied and called names like cow, zebra...
Hey, you big drunk dummy. Are you reading this after your eighth post-midnight tequila shot, wondering by what grace of God you’ll be able to sober up enough to make it to your 4 a.m. flight in one piece? Well, I’ve got some bad news, my sweet blackout buddy: You’re...
Having a behemoth beard is cool until you realize just how much debris it collects: According to a recent-ish report, beards amass more germs than dog fur, which is astonishing when you consider their penchant for rolling around in all kinds of gunk. This bacteria comes from...
In a perfect world, everyone would just split the check evenly and be done with it. After all, we’ve all eaten our dinner and now it’s time to get out of there, so why belabor the process? But the world isn’t perfect, and in this imperfect world...
Science continues to implore that we make more time for sleep, but there are these things called smartphones, and staring at them instead of sleeping is enjoyable, addictive and something I tend to spend my nights doing. The problem is, less time sleeping and more time gawking...
A lot of people can apparently take this in stride; my own girlfriend claims to “love” the heat, which is unfortunate given that I want to commiserate with someone over how miserable being hot is. All my life, I’ve felt like I “run hot.” Growing up in...

When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka The Mountain). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still have no clue how a lat pull-down differs from an incline bench. Which is to say, there’s no shame in...
Returning to the gym locker room can be even more intimidating than returning to the actual gym after spending nine months making excuses (my arm muscle was busted, I swear). For good reason, too: There are a bunch of new faces, with the same idea as you,...
