As adults, it’s automatically expected that we have the capacity to sit still and stay calm, cool, and collected at all times. But if our addiction to social media is any indication, idle moments must be filled with some sort of distraction.

We’re not asking for much, just something to focus all that excess energy that doesn’t include a screen.

It seems like just about everyone has binge-watched Tidying up with Marie Kondo (AKA the ASMR version of Hoarders) in about a week. It has everyone obsessed with organizing, from Twitter to Jimmy Kimmel — even The Container Store saw a 50% increase in stocks from what they think is a Marie Kondo tornado. If you’ve been up until 2 a.m. refolding all of your clothes since you started watching, you understand.

Each episode of the Netflix show teaches a different homeowner about the KonMari method of tidying, which involves only keeping items that spark joy when you hold them, giving every item a specific home, and keeping items neat, visible, and easily identifiable. Turns out knowing how to organize isn’t always common sense. Read more…

Despite the fact that it’s been around for years, CBD seems to be everywhere lately. What used to be a niche obsession is quickly turning mainstream, from the coffee shop down the street that’ll add a drop of oil to your morning latte to recipes for CBD cocktails on GOOP. Even Coca-Cola is looking into it. Read more…

5 tips to help manage your back-to-school mental health

If you’re headed back to school, chances are you’ve already made at least one checklist. Got your schedule? Check. What about your supplies? Check. Talked with friends about which classes you have together? Bet you checked that one more than once. 

But there’s something likely missing from your list, and it might be the most important thing you take care of all year: addressing your mental health and wellbeing. 

Going back to school can be exciting. It can also be terrifying, particularly for teens who’ve already experienced bullying, anxiety, stress, depression, or trauma. In addition to the nerve-wracking aspects of middle school or high school — crushes, grades, cliques — students today are grappling with intense experiences, including natural disaster anniversaries, school shooting drills, and heightened political and social tensions that disproportionately affect young immigrants and LGBTQ people.  Read more…
