Nothing is worse than waking up in the middle of the night, sweating as if you’ve just run a marathon, and needing to climb out of bed to change your pajamas and sheets before you try (try!) to drift back to sleep. But that’s exactly what 10 to 60 percent of the population experiences each
Figure skating at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing kicked off on Feb. 4 with the team event, and apparently Team USA decided to put on a show.

I’ve had a cell phone since I was 11. I know — let that sink in for a second. Post 9/11, my parents wanted to make sure my brother and I had a way to get in touch with them in case of emergencies, so for the past decade and a half, I’ve had a
The 2022 Winter Olympics kicked off on Friday evening in Beijing with an opening ceremony shrouded in controversy — but despite the unusual circumstances and criticism of these Games, many of the Olympic traditions remain, including the Parade of Nations. For those tuning in to the opening ceremonies in primetime (the broadcast begins at 8
If you’ve ever watched even one Olympics opening ceremony, you’ve probably noticed something particular about the Parade of Nations: Greece always walks in first. No matter where the Olympics are held, the Greek delegation traditionally enters first, and there’s a very simple explanation for this. As NBC Sports has reported, Greece’s position of honor in
According to a new study published in “PLOS One,” ASMR videos could help alleviate anxiety. ASMR, which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, is the whole-body sensation some people experience when they hear certain trigger sounds, such as a person whispering, paper crinkling, seltzer bubbles fizzing, or scoring sourdough. ASMR is described as an intensely
Trying to regulate my digestion is a balancing act, to say the least. Sometimes I poop several times in a day, and other times not at all. As a college student, the stress of school threw off my already barely-there pooping schedule, so I regularly took prebiotics to help regulate my gut — and it
Although there are many elements that make up a figure skating program, there are few that are as difficult as the triple axel.

“I believe women are hypergamous. It’s an observable fact,” my date declared matter-of-factly as we stared at each other across the abyss of Zoom. About an hour earlier, when the evening started going downhill, I began writing down the words I didn’t understand but knew I’d heard before. So, I added “hypergamous” to the list.
Cunt. Whore. Bitch. These are just some of the words my fellow Moms Demand Action volunteers and I have been called over the past nine years. We’ve become experts on the nexus between misogyny and gun culture because we’ve lived it—in person and online—since the day we decided to stand up to the gun lobby.
It isn’t very often at all that Kate Middleton is photographed outside of events and royal engagements. But paparazzi in London captured the Duchess of Cambridge out shopping at the Peter Jones department store in the city’s Chelsea neighborhood on Friday morning. She dressed casually but stylishly for the excursion, pairing skinny jeans with a
It looks like swimsuit selfies are becoming Salma Hayek’s New Year tradition. On Monday, Hayek sent warm regards to her nearly 20 million followers on Instagram via her first vacation post of the year, just like she did at the start of 2021. The House of Gucci actress shared a photo of herself wearing a
“What are you?” If you’ve been asked this question in America, you know it’s the first word that stings the most. “What” can’t be confused with “who” and all the effortless responses available there: name, job title. “What” implies your abnormality. It has a blunt, vaguely dehumanizing crackle with the onus on you to diffuse.
When the first images of Lily James as Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy dropped at the start of 2021, the fervent reaction matched the drama of the makeover itself. The British actress who got her big break in Downton Abbey no longer resembled the quintessential English Rose; she was suddenly indistinguishable from the blonde
