No one’s thrilled to get sick, but there’s something extra cruddy about a sinus infection. The pain, the pressure, the congestion, ugh! If you’re dealing with these symptoms right now, you’re probably wondering, how long does a sinus infection last anyway?

When you’re constantly waking up in the middle of the night and wasting the last of your precious sleeping hours wide awake, reaching for a bottle of melatonin may seem like a great idea.

And this lower body workout with weights is a great place to start, since it takes exercises you may already be familiar with — air squats, lateral lunges, step-ups — and just adds resistance. But first, a

In an ever-evolving era of technology, I have proven somewhat resistant to the latest gadgets. I still wear wired headphones to the gym (much to my younger sister’s chagrin), and I’ve been waking up to the same panic-inducing alarm for years. “I don’t need anything else,” I tell myself. “What I have now is just

We don’t know about you, but we’re still buzzing from the 2024 WNBA season, which was the most-reviewed regular season ever across ESPN platforms, up 170 percent from last season. It also boasted a jaw-dropping 154 sellouts, a 242 percent increase from 2023, per the WNBA. That’s not even touching some of the players’ individual

I’m inordinately proud of the fact that I’m a daily flosser. Maybe I shouldn’t be; maybe everyone else instantly internalized their dentists’ directions to floss every night once they had a full set of teeth. But I didn’t.
