Napfun is focused on perfecting the travel neck pillow, developing the product with customer feedback in mind, according to the brand—and its memory foam design has almost 1,700 five-star reviews. The pillow is a standout because it’s designed to offer 360-degree support to your head and neck through seven specific points.

It’s not an entirely surprising concept. Aside from the ingredient benefits, foundation can also provide a barrier against environmental pollutants and blue light, both things that are proven to negatively impact skin. But of course, that’s not to say that you should wear foundation 24/7. Your skin still needs time to breathe, so I always make it a point to remove all my makeup before bed. When it comes to my face-washing process, I wash my face thoroughly with my hands (groundbreaking, I know), but on days where I’ve been wearing foundation for a long period of time, my face didn’t feel 100 percent clean even after double cleansing....

Cold brew has become one of the most popular caffeine selections and for good reason. To help us understand why—as well as give us an insider look at what gives cold brew its je ne sais quoi, both taste- and health-wise—we spoke with Todd Carmichael, the CEO and Co-Founder of La Colombe Coffee Roasters. Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee Cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for 12 to 24 hours and then filtering it, which results in a smooth, naturally sweet, and slightly chocolatey flavor profile....

The chicken was produced between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021, and has the establishment number “EST. P-7089” on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection.

According to the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, antioxidants only became well-known (and highly sought-after) by the general population in the 1990s. This was when researchers started to understand that the early stages of artery-clogging atherosclerosis, cancer, vision loss, and a host of other chronic conditions were closely correlated with free radical damage and oxidative stress—aka the very things that antioxidants help to prevent. What Are Antioxidants, Exactly?...

But do we really need to replenish our electrolytes after every workout? It’s true that we do need to consume more electrolytes (like Gatorade) after excessive sweating. But this isn’t always the case. To learn more, we asked a registered dietitian and a physician to explain when we do and don’t need to consume electrolyte drinks to rehydrate—along with some other helpful facts about these vital particles.

This has led companies to rethink their real estate choices, with co-working spaces becoming attractive opportunities for meshing the benefits of in-person meeting space with the flexibility to work when and where you want. Many companies may even choose to pay for a co-working membership for their team. But for individual workers who are considering footing the bill themselves, you have to make sure the math works out for you....

What Is a Fiddlehead Fern? A fiddlehead fern, also called a fiddlehead green, is the tightly coiled top of a young fern. They grow wild in the Northeastern U.S. and temperate climates around the world, particularly near wetlands. Fiddleheads must be harvested as they emerge—before they mature and are no longer fiddleheads. Various types of fiddleheads exist, and can be foraged in nature by those in the know, but shouldn’t be eaten raw, as some varieties of fiddlehead ferns are toxic to humans when they’re not cooked....

But there’s a new form of slugging that has been gaining social traction lately—slugging enthusiasts have taken this viral TikTok hack and adapted it for their strands. The #hairslugging hashtag has racked up almost 7 million views and is the latest hair trend to be influenced by skincare. But before you soak your strands, we asked experts to give us their take on hair slugging. What is hair slugging? Hair slugging practices the same basic formula as skin slugging: applying a heavy application of oil or conditioner all over hair and covering it tightly with a sock or a wrap overnight....

And there’s good reason for this: According to the National Sleep Foundation’s 2020 “Sleep in America Poll,” 72 percent of us feel sleepy at least two days out of the week (excluding the pockets of time right before going to bed and after waking up), and 40 percent of adults surveyed said that this persistent tiredness gets in the way of their daily activities. In other words, feeling tired seems to be our default mode, so when we appear (or at least should appear) well-rested, people notice....

“For joint accounts to work well, you need a basic level of trust, shared goals, and desire for transparency,” says Michelle Jones, chief external affairs officer at Money Management International (MMI), a financial counseling and education nonprofit. “Hopefully, those components are already in place for most relationships. But there could still be some scenarios where a joint account is not in your best interest.” According to a survey by Truist Bank and the Harris Poll, most people admitted they spend and save money differently from their partner, and 35 percent blame finances for their relationship stress....

That women have come a long way is an understatement. Unfortunately, with regard to money, wealth accumulation, investing, and personal finances, there’s still a significant amount of ground to cover. As an eye-opening report from Merrill Lynch titled Women & Financial Wellness makes clear, women still earn far less money than men, accumulate less wealth over the course of their lifetime, and the social taboo surrounding talking about money has contributed to a reality in which 61 percent of women would rather discuss their own death than money....
