Weddings mark the beginning of a lifelong commitment, and the ceremonies often set the tone for the rest of the relationship. Needless to say, one would hope that the special day goes off without a hitch, especially considering the average wedding costs more than $25,000. But alas, stuff...
In a world where every fact is someone else’s #FakeNews, no topic is safe. For example: Stretching. Numerous stories on the internet say stretching before exercise is bad for you because it can make working out less effective — or even increase your risk of injury. But...
Face moisturizer has been a more recent addition to most men’s grooming routines, but its popularity is soaring, with 54 percent of the men we surveyed telling us that they now moisturize their faces at least somewhat regularly. Since so many of us are novices when it...
You were nine vodkas deep when brunch plans were being made. In the hours that have since passed, you (somehow) spent $68 on fast food, puked in the kitchen sink and woke up feeling like a pizza pocket that was microwaved for six consecutive hours (which is ironic,...
Here’s a hypothetical that’s probably more real than not for most people: You’ve spent 20 years or more hating your body, seemingly unable to drop those last few pounds that stand between you and happiness, despite seemingly constantly denying yourself the food you really want, and working...
Despite what my drunken, albeit convincing, college roommate Jimmy grumbled while shaving off a single eyebrow at exactly 2:36 on a Tuesday morning back in 2015, science shows that brows are our most important facial feature. They help us convey emotions, and according to studies, we recognize...
I’ve finally stopped fighting it and accepted the fact that I’m a doddering idiot, forsaken to a life without expensive sunglasses because I will inevitably sit on them or lose them. To wit, I’ve owned countless pairs of semi-expensive sunglasses — all of which are either currently sitting...
Have you ever felt like Milton from Office Space? Completely isolated from your peers, degraded by your bosses and reduced to nothing more than a mumbling, squirrel-watching, stapler-hoarding office leper? Well, the good news is that you aren’t alone. Actually, sorry, you are alone — that’s why...
In the last year, cannabidiol (aka CBD) has been touted as a panacea, able to cure (or at least alleviate) everything from chronic pain to cancer-related symptoms. It’s a belief that cosmetic industrialists are cashing in on: CBD-infused lotions and serums, which promise to relieve acne and...
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 not know our lat pull-downs from our incline benches from our deadlifts. Which is to say, there’s no shame in...
The two most common fender-bender accidents, say the experts, are rear-end collisions and parking-lot mishaps. It makes sense — distracted driving is the usual culprit behind rear ending (“distracted” meaning looking at one’s cell phone, in most cases) and parking lots are basically obstacle courses where every...
One would expect that bashing the crosswalk button like a whack-a-mole produces actual results, especially since the city went to the trouble of installing them. But much like how colleges promised millennials a life of financial stability and instead gave them one of constant debts and worthless degrees, most...
