“I’ve got this!” I, the parenting perfectionist of my own nightmares, yell to no one.   In my rush to prepare dinner, while also putting away groceries and making tomorrow’s lunch, I’ve spilled spaghetti sauce all over the kitchen floor. The dogs are the only ones rushing to help. My 5-year-old is off doing whatever

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez made headlines (on headlines, on headlines) when the power couple did a “10-day challenge” back in January. People were obsessed—and not just because J.Lo’s abs somehow looked even more toned than usual. The point of the challenge? To cut out all carbs and sugars in an effort to “reset” their

Brush your teeth, wash your face, moisturize said face: Sounds like a pretty common pre-bedtime ritual, right? For some of us, that list may or may not be prefaced with a nightcap with a side of night cheese as well (thank you, Liz Lemon, for making us feel a little less alone). But for Chrissy

My parents have been sleeping in separate beds for the last two decades. While they’re still married, they’re rarely affectionate with each other (during their 40th anniversary dinner, my dad kissed my mom on the mouth and everyone at the table audibly gasped), and prefer their own space. My mom snores, and my dad likes

Picture this: the eve of battle, enemy forces approaching, the sound of flying dragons tearing through the air, the roaring fires around you your only protection from the dark — and also super dehydrating, am I right?

According to a new study differences in what motivates individuals and how they self-regulate behavior influence how they keep fit. The study appearing in the journal Heliyon, published by Elsevier, associates personal characteristics with whether people are likely to prefer solo or group exercise activities, CrossFit training, resistance training, or team sports, how frequently they
