Us guys, we can put up with a lot of mildly irritating stuff: Hair that inexplicably grows on our toes (and ears, and out of our noses), shaving our faces 20,000 times (on average) in our lifetimes and, of course, a crotch area that, no matter how...
So you want to eat a little bit better, but refuse to subsist entirely on sad salads and depressing handfuls of mixed nuts? Good news: You can have the best of both worlds — that is, good health and good food — so long as you mind...
There’s never been a more crucial time — well, other than your awkward teen years — to care what your face looks like. No, I’m not advocating for all of us to turn into conceited schmos, but now that so many of us have largely settled into...
One of the few bright spots of being in isolation this long has gotta be watching regular people suddenly discover that the thing they’ve been using one way can, in quarantine, be used in a completely different way than originally intended. Video chat is a perfect example...
Skin: It’s your body’s largest organ, and the first line of defense from the harsh elements that surround us. Make that “surrounded us,” as it were, because these days, for many of us, the days of put-putting around town outside are on a (hopefully!) temporary hiatus. Instead,...
When the quarantines were announced back in March and early April, the conventional wisdom suggested that limiting our interaction with the outside world would at the very least provide a first line of defense against the coronavirus for ourselves, our families and — in a macro sense...
If the modern automobile had a status on Facebook, it would undoubtedly be “It’s complicated.” With their computer-controlled fuel-injection systems, continuously variable transmissions and three-phase four-pole AC induction motors, the days when every Tom, Dick or Harry could wrench on their ride seem long gone. So let...
Sixty years ago, if you weren’t going to work in a suit, tie and perfectly clean shaven, then clearly, you were a hippie. In many offices these days, however, especially ones in creative fields, showing up in anything other than jeans, a T-shirt and a five o’clock...
One of the extreme new realities of life under quarantine is the idea of (semi-)permanently working from home. For some of us, that transition’s been an easy one: Wake up, get dressed (maybe), work in the peace and comfort of a makeshift (or if you’re lucky, a...
On a train, or in a plane. In a house, or with a mouse — it doesn’t matter where, or who you are, headaches affect virtually everyone at some point in their life. We get them while we’re working, from straining to see the computer screen; we...
If you’ve spent any amount of time listening to AM radio, no doubt you’ve heard ads where some nondescript man bemoans his lack of a sex drive or manliness, and then is followed by a voiceover recommending some variation on a course of testosterone — the idea...
Ah, fat — 30 years ago, when it came to healthy eating, it was Public Enemy No. 1. Back then, conventional wisdom suggested that getting too much “fat” in your food would make you gain weight, and cutting back on fatty meals would help you lose it....
