  Simone Biles has a message for anyone that wants to critique her her hairstyle for the women's gymnastics team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Olympic gold medalist took to her  Instagram  story on Tuesday to share a video of herself sporting a high ponytail and black tank top. In the video, she's seen looking into the camera along with a caption that reads, "Don't come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC & it's like 9,000 degrees ... oh & a 45 min ride." She followed the first clip with another of herself with the caption, "Gonna hold your hand when I say this ... next time you wanna comment on a black girls hair. JUST DON'T." This isn't the first time Biles has addressed public and social media commentary about her hair. In an interview with  Elle  published earlier this month, Biles, who is now the most decorated gymnast in U.S. Olympics history, said she is finally learning to love her hair and th...

Maybe it sounds like it is unreal, but when people in a relationship argue a lot, it means that they love each other more than those who avoid conflicts. In fact, the argument is when two people express their different opinions. So, during the argument, both participants manifest their ideologies and personalities through words they exchange. Many believe that relationships should be all about love, cuddling, kissing, holding hands, and laughing. As a result, whenever a couple steps out from that lovable relationship and gets into a fight, they get upset. We need to accept that not everything is going to be perfect 24/7. (1) There is no flawless relationship. For a relationship to be successful there, need to be concessions and compromises. In this way, we are capable of revealing our real personality, and we can see the true personality of the other one. Since we know each other much better, we can find many ways to love and respect each other. Actually, relationships ...

If you find yourself gaining a few pounds here and there, don’t worry. That’s just a sign that you are happily married to your spouse. As a matter of fact, there’s a new study that suggests the more weight you gain during your marriage, the happier you and your partner are as a couple. The couple that grow fat together stay together, right? Well now you can tell everyone that science made you do it as a new study reveals that there’s more that your ‘love handles’ are there for a reason. Researchers from Southern Methodist University in Dallas joined 169 newlywed couples and found out quite a few interesting things. But first, they had the couples in the study share information about their height, weight marital satisfaction, stress, and steps towards divorce eight different times. The result? Couples who felt happier in their marriage were less likely to watch their weight. In other words, they didn’t really have a reason to 'look good' or attract a new mate becau...

Around 2000 years ago the Roman philosopher Seneca said: “If you want your secret to being saved, save it yourself.” Sometimes, is not about keeping secrets but it is about keeping specific personal things to yourself which are not preferable to tell.

Our children are the seeds we leave to the world. The way we raise them is literally the way we are shaping the future generation. Most of our parents simply didn’t know better. They tried their best, but they didn’t know the right way, and most of them did more harm than good. But we are all human. We are all just trying things and experimenting through trail and error. Some learn quickly, some don’t. However, bad parenting leaves a mark on humanity. It’s time to change this. It’s time to make a better humanity, to raise better individuals who are empowered, happy and aware of how their actions impact the world. Harvard scientists show us the right ways of parenting. According to them, these are the 5 things every parent who raised a good child has done. 5 Things Parents Who Raise ‘Good’ Kids Do: 1. Spend time with your children. It might look like a simple suggestion but it’s actually the biggest problem in today’s society. We are living in challenging times wh...

Let’s be honest: nobody is really a fan of the five-day work week. But if you want a reason to work less, science has your back. If you’re over the age of 40, at least. According to a report published in the Melbourne Institute Worker Paper, those over the age of 40 are at their most productive when they work three days a week or less. The researchers came to this conclusion after following 3,000 male and 3,500 female volunteers, Newser explained. During the study, researchers asked the participants to complete cognitive tests and analyzed their work habits, memory, executive reasoning, and abstract reasoning. The cognitive tests included asking the volunteers to read text backwards, read words aloud, and match numbers and letters under time pressure. As HuffPost explained, the participants' cognitive performance improved as the researchers increased their working hours up to 25 hours. However, after 25 hours the researchers found that performance began to decline in ...

Millions of people complain that they do not get enough exercise or physical activity during the day. Most of them say they are too tired when they arrive home from work to do anything strenuous. However, is anyone ever too tired or too busy to enjoy a nice, long, warm, and soothing bath? And what if we told you that an hour spent in a hot bath can burn as many calories as a half an hour spent walking? In 2016, Dr. Faulkner analyzed healthy and obese men who either did 60 minutes of moderate cycling or bathed in 104°F water. The ones who bathed burned 79% more calories than they would have if they spent the time sitting on the couch, while the ones biking burned 750% more calories than when at rest. Even though exercise is the best way to lose weight and shape up, bathing accelerates metabolism too and can be of great help to people who are tired or feel muscle pain. Despite burning calories, bathing offers other health benefits as well. According to the Minneapolis-bas...

According to Genius Tests: “Popular opinion may cause one to believe that those with high IQ scores are gifted beyond reason in their ability to perform intellectual tasks, such as solve complex mathematical and technical problems with little effort. In reality, intelligence is someone’s ability to acquire and apply knowledge; meaning that someone’s intelligence is more a measure of their ability to adapt what they know to new settings. However, it is true that the higher someone’s IQ is, the more easily they will be able to pick up new understandings; so people with high intelligence might find it easier to perform in school or at work, as well as pick up new skills more quickly with fewer repetitions. While many may believe that creativity is an absolute marker of high intelligence, there are many more ways signs of high intelligence manifest themselves. “ Well, believe it or not, scientists now maintain that people who swear, are messy and stay up late are actually highl...

“If we make the conscious decision to daily place our spouse’s desires and needs above our own, and that’s reciprocated, the marriage will succeed. Utter and complete selflessness. Isn’t this true in all healthy relationships?” My advice after a divorce following 16 years of marriage, by Gerald Rogers. Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had: Never Stop Courting Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would OWN HER HEART and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. SHE CHOSE YOU. Never forget that, and NEVER GET LAZY in your love. Protect Your Own Heart Just as you committed t...

“I believe in strong women. I believe in the woman who is able to stand up for herself. I believe in the woman who doesn’t need to hide behind her husband’s back. I believe that if you have problems, as a woman you deal with them, you don’t play a victim, you don’t make yourself look pitiful, you don’t point fingers. You stand and you deal. You face the world with a head held high and you carry the universe in your heart.”  – C. JoyBell C. Strong women are independent and are thus happy on their own, and do not need a man to give them the stability and peace in life.  These women find dating not crucial in order to feel fulfilled, and the time not spent dating becomes more valuable and meaningful. Yet, being a strong woman is much more difficult than you think, as they are determined to cope with all challenges in life alone, and depend on their own only. Power Of Positivity maintains: Find Out More > “Strong women know more than anything else that taking...

Learning about the birds and the bees is meant to be helpful and educational, but if truth be told, it can be pretty embarrassing for kids to have “the talk.” Add to that the worry over when a girl might start her cycle and experience it for the very first time, possibly in front of others, and you can see why tweens and teens can get a little anxious about this rite of passage. A young girl had this horrifying experience for the first time ever while on the way home from school. She was riding the bus and sadly, wasn’t the only one who noticed what had suddenly happened. Too many kids to count noticed what had happened to her. When a boy walked up to her on the bus, she expected some rude or snide comment. But instead, he did something so heartwarming that the girl’s mom just had to share their story on social media. Others have been chiming in with how great the guy’s actions were, too. Her mom posted in the Guragaon Moms Facebook group what had hap...

If you’re at home right now, take a moment to look around you. What do you see? Do you see a tidy home in which everything (well, practically everything!) is in its right place, or do you see total chaos and disorganization? If it’s the latter, don’t feel bad, it happens to the best of us every once and a while–but, if this is a very common occurrence in your life, there might be something more serious going on. A series of studies used in the writing of the book  Life at Home in the 21st Century: 32 Families Open Their Doors , show that people, especially women, living in cluttered homes experience heightened levels of stress hormones, the same kind that contributes to depression. This experience was outlined in psychiatrist  Dr. Audrey Sherman’s “Dysfunction Interrupted” column on PsychCentral . In it, Dr. Sherman reveals that she finds disorganization and the chaos that comes with it to be “the biggest problems to be reported by depressed in...
