Louisiana resident and musician Chelsea Keenan’s life turned upside down in 2014 when she had a medical emergency. Her recovery journey has been long and complicated.

Don’t come at us, tennis devotees — but the racquet sport’s scoring system is kind of inexplicable. Love? Deuce? Break point? Some tennis terms don’t even sound like complete words. Looking at you, “ad”! But while the word may sound silly, the term ad in tennis actually has a relatively straightforward meaning. What Does Ad
Looks like Olivia Rodrigo‘s management team has officially resorted to Plan B (and no, not that kind). Mere days after announcing her partnership with the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF), Rodrigo’s efforts to help distribute free contraception to concertgoers have reportedly been squashed. Now — instead of providing actionable resources for reproductive and sexual
For most people, “No shirt, no shoes, no service” isn’t a suggestion. It’s a rule — with no workaround in sight. But for one Ohio couple, that rule no longer applies. In a now-viral video, TikTok user @ChristiFritz says she and her husband are so devoted to walking barefoot, they surgically removed the soles of
From the producers of the “leggings legs” trend comes yet another unnecessary label for women’s bodies. Introducing the internet’s latest fixation: “Pilates arms.” Following Miley Cyrus‘s stunning performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards, it was her toned arms that took social media by storm (rather than her first-ever Grammy win). One reformer Pilates instructor went

My morning routine sets the tone for the rest of my day. I love slow, peaceful mornings where I can read a bit, work out, and eat a good breakfast. But thanks to some tough-to-break habits, not every morning looks like that. Most days, I still wake up and immediately check my email (bad, I
In today’s episode of things you can’t unhear: making your bed is unhealthy. Why, you ask? Well, a viral Instagram video claims that making your bed right after you wake up creates the perfect breeding ground for dust mites to thrive, thereby worsening allergies. Gross, yes, but is there any truth to it? Just so
If you’re in search of a workout that’s both efficient and effective, look no further than high-intensity interval training, or HIIT for short. HIIT helps you build strength and get a cardio workout at the same time, plus it actually burns 25 to 30 percent more calories than resistance training, cycling and treadmill running, according to a study
As one of those girlies who tend to have gut-health issues, I’ve been on the hunt for anything that’ll help. I’ve tried so many different probiotics, many of which just haven’t done much of anything.
