So, what is Marmite, and why does it provoke such strong reactions?...

While there are a number of alcoholic beverages to choose from when you want to sit down to a nice drink, scientists say that there’s one choice that can lead to a healthier lifestyle, and it’s wine. According to a new study by Glasgow University researchers, drinking spirits regularly instead of wine increases the risk of cardiovascular events by 31 percent, the Daily Mail reports. man pouring red wine in glass Credit: Luis Alvarez / Getty Images The team studied over 300,000 people from UK Biobank for the published study in the journal BMC Medicine....

After a major effort by scientists, a single galápagos tortoise—a species believed to have been completely extinct—was discovered on Fernandina Island. Experts at Yale University conducted genetic tests to prove that Fran, a 100-year-old tortoise, is in fact a member of a species that was previously assumed to be extinct for over 112 years. Now, researchers are very quickly trying to find a mate in order to preserve this species....

And now, you have to tell your partner. Here’s why: “The decision to have or not have children is one of the most crucial topics every couple must discuss,” says Alisa Ruby Bash, Psy.D., MFT, who adds that if you keep your decision a secret, you risk inviting serious conflict into your relationship....

Upon first glance, Sherwin-Williams’ 2022 Color of the Year, Evergreen Fog, reads similarly to sage, a shade experiencing quite the renaissance. After your eyes adjust, however, its green-forward notes meld with the gray—and you quickly realize that this hue is far more nuanced than the muted springtime pastel. Evergreen Fog, a true mid-tone, holds its weight: It’s subtle and reassuring (green is, after all, a color we know well; it is the grass, the earth, the very essence of nature), but statement making, too....

Patios are a great place to entertain a small group of loved ones or to unwind solo after a long day. No matter the occasion, whether you’re hosting guests or planning to enjoy a family meal, there’s nothing worse than heading outside and being greeted by dirty, dingy patio furniture. But with outdoor sets made from everything from teak and resin to wicker and aluminum, it can be hard to know exactly how to clean and maintain your pieces....

When you admire pieces through a glass case in a shop, it’s hard to imagine that you could actually create dazzling earrings, sweet charm bracelets, and elegant necklaces with gleaming stone pendants yourself. But most anyone can learn jewelry making.

closeup woman eye Credit: Dougal Waters / Getty Images More than any other feature, our eyes are a road map of our experiences, reflecting years of laughing, smiling, and squinting at screens. The reason lies in basic physiology: The skin surrounding them is roughly three times thinner than that on the rest of the face.
