Calorie Tariffs: The Hidden Costs to Your Waistline

Tariffs often dominate the news, but there’s another kind of “tariff” that’s rarely discussed—the calorie tariff.

In this article, we’ll explore three surprising sources of “calorie tariffs” and simple strategies to manage them effectively.

The Science of Lying

Lately I have noticed an uptick in one niche of entertainment that I will call the “Grifter Docudrama”. It’s all about lies – but not just one-off lies, lies that are perpetuated for years, catapult people to success, and then once they are found out, are torn down and shamed by society. What is more intriguing than the virtue-signaling is the key mistakes these characters, real and fictional, made. If they had lied more strategically, or quit while they were ahead, they may never have been exposed. It’s now all about “telling your truth” – and that is a very grey area in today’s society.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Understanding DARVO and Its Impact

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence and providing support to survivors. Domestic violence affects millions of individuals across the U.S., transcending age, gender, socioeconomic background, and culture. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in four women and one in nine men will experience severe intimate partner violence in their lifetime. These alarming statistics underscore the importance of continued advocacy, education, and prevention efforts. National Domestic Violence Awareness Month serves as an opportunity for communities to unite, raise awareness, and work toward eradicating domestic violence.

Work out like an Olympic gymnast champion

Go Simone Biles and Team USA! Proof that every setback has a comeback. Now, how do we get as shredded (or at least our version of it?) Except, you know, without the crazy backflips and injuries.

At this moment, coffee seems very unappetizing, especially when the temps reach the 3 digits. Even iced coffee can feel dehydrating. Enter the Starbucks Iced Energy brand, which has quickly become our go-to caffeinated treat.
