It’s no wonder our Real Simple beauty editor declared it the “Most Versatile LED Mask.” The waterproof tool is housed in bacteria-resistant silicone that integrates LED light therapy to promote anti-aging effects, cryo-therapy to tone and lift while fighting inflammation, thermo-therapy to help open up pores for maximum absorption of skincare products, and T-sonic technology to stimulate circulation (or to massage sore muscles).

The new findings were presented this week at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, LLC—a joint venture between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. The full study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, but the authors say their findings seem to indicate the importance of sleep regularity on overall health. To study the effect of altered weekend sleep patterns, researchers looked at survey responses from approximately 1,000 adults ages 22 to 60....

There are a handful of eating habits (and nutrients) that can boost our energy level—as well as ways we’re unknowingly slowing ourselves down. Samantha Cassetty, MS, RD, helped us determine simple steps to feel more energetic, improve our digestion, and optimize our overall health. The good news? All three of her recommendations are incredibly easy. Happy snacking! The Best Eating Habits for Boosting Energy If you routinely reach for avocado toast—which, while delicious and nutritious, lacks adequate protein—add on poached eggs, smoked salmon, or mashed beans (like Hummus and cucumber toast) to activate the muscle-rebuilding phase....

Chances are you have some of these edible superstars in your refrigerator or pantry already, (shoutout to spinach and green tea!)—but what about the freezer? As it turns out, that extra cold compartment next to the fridge isn’t just a place to store a pint (or two) of ice cream and some frozen appetizers. Believe it or not, several superfoods can stay fresh in the freezer for months at a time, so long as they are stored correctly, while others (think berries and broccoli) can easily be purchased frozen, kept in the freezer, and used as needed....

Potential Home Buyers and Renters Are Delaying Their Moves According to a FinanceBuzz survey conducted on May 13, 2020, of 1,500 Americans ages 18 and older, three out of four prospective home buyers and renters decided to put off their intended moves between March and June 2020.

For more expert tips on how to shop for and use robot vacuums for hardwood floors, we spoke with Forrest McCall, co-owner of the home improvement blog, Mama Needs a Project....
