The face of an individual suffering from PTSD is far more likely to be covered in concealer than it is camouflage paint; it is more likely to be bruised and beaten at the hands of a domestic partner than an enemy combatant. It’s more probable a person with PTSD is flashing back to a violent sexual assault than reliving an IED explosion.

For a select few, latex is no lucky charm- To the contrary, it can be a real pain in the… well, let’s just say that coming into contact with latex can be less than a luxurious experience for ladies with an allergy to latex.

By gaining a fuller understanding of our habits, we can begin to loosen the grip that some negative habits have on our day to day lives.

As parents, we try to teach our children everything we possibly can, while we can, to ensure that one day they’ll be equipt to create and maintain fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic adult lives. The morals of our stories are typically pretty standard stuff; good hygiene is a must, safety first, respect your elders, scratch that, respect everyone. Yet, there’s one fundamental concept so imperative to the quality of our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being that, sometimes, we a

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are a group of human-made chemicals that repel water, grease, and oil.

As a serial salon-switcher, I can tell you firsthand; it’s not easy breaking up with your hairdresser. Your hairdresser takes on so much more than just your hot roots and split ends every few weeks or so. Not only do they make you feel pretty (this in itself is a rare and valuable quality), but your hairdresser’s chair tends to become a modern confessional of sorts. We find ourselves sharing personal aspects of our lives with our hairdressers and listening to theirs in return.

Culturally, we tend to associate gray hair with old age, frailty, and weakness; even death. But are these associations stating science or simply spreading stigmas? Let’s take a closer look at the root causes behind graying hair.

You’ve survived the work week and the last thing you want to do come Saturday morning is wash, blow-dry, and style your hair. You’ve got things to do, places to go, and people to see.

By sticking to these basic tips for cutting hair, you’ll be in good hands when you pick up those dry cutting shears!

No one can tell the story of A Boy Called Po — the 2016 movie that just became available on Netflix –quite like John Asher can. While he’s the film’s director, producer, and editor, Asher also knows firsthand the complex dynamics of parenting a child with autism. Considering that he is the proud father of an autistic son, Evan, who is now 14, it is not surprising that Asher’s motivations behind the film run deeper than profit and box office success.

While, undoubtedly, there’s bound to be a select few moviegoers who storm out of the latest Marvel movie, enraged for one reason or another, it’s a pretty safe bet that the vast majority of viewers will leave the theater either entertained or not entertained. But when one creates art that imitates real life, they tread a finer line. Films about disability and illness must walk this tightrope like no other genre.

One year ago, I existed in a pre-autism diagnosis ulterior universe. I had a two-year-old son who had only said “ball” and “hi” a handful of times, and a newborn baby. I knew that my eldest, Henry, was a “late talker.” I just didn’t know why, yet. I knew that I was seriously struggling as a mother; I just didn’t know why, yet. I had so many unanswered questions.

I had one of those days yesterday, the kind that left me with a kink in my neck that prevents me from looking up from my beat-up Uggs. The kind of day that prevents me from looking up at all. Yesterday, I cried on the playground of my son’s preschool. It’s been a decade or two since I let it all out in the midst of flying balls and staring children, but let me tell you, it is still just as embarrassing.

As parents, we try to teach our children everything we possibly can, while we can, to ensure that one day they’ll be equipt to create and maintain fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic adult lives. The morals of our stories are typically pretty standard stuff; good hygiene is a must, safety first, respect your elders, scratch that, respect everyone.

Motherhood presents us all with a constant flow of infinite and never-ending choices. Bottle feed or Breastfeed? When to wean and which formula? Sleep train or soothe? Work or stay home? Self-care or to-do list? Clean the kids or the house? We don't always get it right. In fact, sometimes, we just flat out fail.

Ridiculous baby names are nothing new. Sure, they get more ludicrous with each passing year. But it wasn't until the dawning of the of the age of the hipster that historically respected lines were crossed, and societal rules that are not meant to be broken were tossed into the compost like yesterday's avocado chia toast.

To say that pregnancy is an amazing experience is truly an understatement. The changes a woman experiences during pregnancy affect every aspect of her existence.

Nutritionist Chelsea Amer tells The Daily Meal that in many cases, a slice of pizza is healthier than your average bowl of cereal for breakfast. While things like portion size and ingredients matter, pizza's protein and carbs provide more nutrition than cereal's sugary and empty calories.

The "Slender Man" case gained notoriety in 2014 when two young teen girls lured their classmate, Payton Leutner, into the Wisconsin woods and stabbed her nineteen times.

Following the criminal sentencing of former Michigan State and USA Olympian physician, Dr. Larry Nassar, on Wednesday, two-time Olympian and Nassar sexual assault survivor, Aly Raisman, chose to focus her attention on her fellow sexual abuse survivors by thanking them in a full-page ad in The Detroit Free Press on Thursday.

Strava, a fitness app offering social networking for athletes, reveals the locations of its users so that you can link up with a local group of runners or find a fellow hiker or two while on the mountain. Sounds great, right? After recent revelations have exposed the app's potential risk to national security, the U.S Military isn’t so sure about Strava.
