It’s all very adult. New slang alert: What does “pushing P” mean? According to my son, all the young people are talking about P.

That’s at least partially because, once upon a time, many couples didn’t live together or have sex until marriage. Needless to say, times have changed—as relationship coach and counselor Jonathan Bennett told Martha Stewart , “With more couples living together and having sex before marriage, the traditional honeymoon as a romantic getaway to focus on sex has lost a lot of […]

The scent of chocolate from a nearby bakery mixed with the smell of cigarette smoke, gasoline, urine and feces. Burn […]

Screenshot: Free Guy/20th Century Studios (Fair Use) Two days ago, Disney dropped the trailer for Moon Knight , the next in a line of streaming series set on the ever-expanding fringes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, the show looks intriguing, suggesting a darker edge than much of the post-Netflix era of MCU TV. Unfortunately, it doesn’t premiere until March 30, which means you’re going to need to survive a month without a new superhero show. You and Disney+ both—for […]

Through a mix of cluelessness, willful ignorance, and a little luck, I didn’t need to understand proper skincare or devote any time to learning how to do it.

Photo: Henryk Ditze (Shutterstock) Back in the spring and summer of 2020, travel came with unprecedented flexibility. Flights, car rental reservations, and hotel bookings could be cancelled at the last minute, change fees were mostly eliminated, and airlines blocked middle seats. Of course, that was all about staying afloat financially during a pandemic and not about making it a better experience for us, so it was no surprise when those traveler-friendly policies went away and were replaced by higher prices. Lately, the lowest hotel rates […]

Photo: Rabizo Anatolii (Shutterstock) The AeroPress is on the geekier side when it comes to manual coffee brewing. It doesn’t have the artisanal cred of pour-over, nor the gravitas of a Moka pot, nor the time-tested reliability of a French press. Yet this little, plastic, plunger-based coffee maker—originally developed as a way to make one cup of reliably delicious coffee in one minute—is more versatile than you might think, and more than deserves a place in any coffee enthusiast’s arsenal. Despite it’s apparent simplicity, there’s […]

No matter how much we love our favorite trail at the local park, or Sunday stroll through a nearby graveyard , chances are, there are hidden gems you haven’t come across yet. […]

Whether it’s a session with weights at the gym, or a run outdoors, you’re supposed to do some kind of slower-paced activity at the end, and maybe even stretch a little.
