Do you find yourself coating your lips in your go-to balm all day long? This experience might as well be universal, but it does prompt the question: Can someone actually become addicted to this beauty essential? In reality, this isn’t possible—you can apply the product as much as you want, notes board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, but your mouth will not become dependent upon it. You might feel the need to consistently reapply because of its formula, though; the balm you’re using to soothe your pout could very well be the cause of your chapped lips....

Eating specific foods, like leafy greens and walnuts, can be beneficial for your heart health, but they’re not the only items to add to your shopping list. According to a new study published in Hypertension, flavonoid-filled foods and drinks, such as red wine and berries, are worth consuming as they can improve your blood pressure. “Our gut microbiome plays a key role in metabolizing flavonoids to enhance their cardioprotective effects, and this study provides evidence to suggest these blood pressure-lowering effects are achievable with simple changes to the daily diet,” Aedín Cassidy, Ph....

Essential oils may be lauded for mind and body benefits—from boosting your mood to calming inflamed skin—but because of differences in how they’re processed by animals, they can pose a threat to pets. (The one exception: If a holistic veterinarian has prescribed them for a pet’s particular ailment, in which case it’s smart to follow usage instructions carefully.) As for diffusers, which dispel essential oils into the air by way of water vapor or pure evaporation, the health risks for pets are generally dose-dependent, says Ahna Brutlag, director of veterinary services at Pet Poison Helpline: The more exposure, the greater the risk....

Before she was America’s most beloved hostess, Martha was an ambitious teenager who knew the value of earning her own money. To do so, she babysat and took up modeling, booking her first jobs when she was still in high school. And while we’ve heard about the jobs she held while living in New York City as a student at Barnard College—including walking down fashion runways and shooting various campaigns with Breck, Clairol, and Lifebuoy Soap—we haven’t yet watched video footage of her in action....

While your fluffy friend can bring so much joy to your life, owning a dog isn’t all idyllic walks and rounds of fetch.

The popularity of money-sharing apps—namely CashApp, Venmo, and Zelle—means that it is easier than ever to split the check between friends at a restaurant or send money to a family member or friend in need. All you have to do is download an app and connect it to your bank account; once that’s done, you’ll be able to send money with the push of a button.
