People aren't just curious about longevity - they're hungry for pragmatic, science-based, applicable ways to integrate it into daily life and business strategy. That response wasn't just gratifying; it revealed something deeper about how leaders across industries recognize longevity as essential to their operations and competitive positioning.
SaunaBox SmartSteam XL, formerly known as SaunaBox Go, tries to close that gap with a pop-up, two-person portable steam room that sets up in under 5 minutes and packs away into a carry case when you're done. It sits somewhere between a camping structure and a private wellness retreat, which sounds like a strange mix until you're sitting inside at 130°F with 100% humidity and the whole thing starts to feel more like an onsen than a tent.
Walking along sandy beaches and exploring a completely different culture is a perfect way to escape the realities of home. Despite jetting off abroad to get away from the troubles in their lives - from work to family drama - many Brits struggle to turn off their phone on holiday. Most UK holidaymakers, 88 per cent, say they want to switch off their mobile while away - intending to disconnect from the world.
There is a specific high that comes with outrunning your own limiting beliefs - a chase that has previously landed me in an Austrian fasting clinic, on a half-marathon start line in Madrid, and sitting ten days of silent meditation in the English countryside. But even I, a glutton for punishingly offbeat wellness trends, would have laughed you out of the juice bar had you told me a year ago that I'd soon be yodelling my way to self-improvement.
Caring for our fingernails and toenails is often an afterthought, says professional nail technician Titilayo Bankole. Many of us don't think of maintaining our nails the way we do our teeth and hair. But they deserve more attention (and not just in the form of fun nail art), she says. Our nails are essential to our daily lives. "If you lose a nail, try picking up a coin off the floor. Try buttoning your shirt. It's almost impossible to do,"
People with acne-prone skin and sunscreen have long had a contentious relationship. As someone who's dealt with breakouts for two decades, I know the typical SPF pitfalls very well. Namely: breakouts. Out of all the skin care dilemmas that exist, this one's especially annoying. When you're just trying to do the most fundamentally healthy thing for your complexion - protect it from the sun's harmful rays - you don't want to deal with zits. I don't want to be punished for doing the right thing.
In a post on X, Johnson described Immortals as "the world's best health program," claiming it replicates "the exact protocol I have followed for the last 5 years." The package includes a dedicated concierge team, continuous biological tracking across "millions of data points," what Johnson calls "best skin and hair protocols," access to cutting-edge therapies, and round-the-clock availability of "BryanAI" - an AI system modelled on Johnson himself.
Think about the ideal version of yourself: the one who reads every day and sticks to a perfect morning routine, and maybe even completes big craft projects or writes novels. When you have lofty goals like these - ones that require a lot of work or a major lifestyle overhaul - they can seem impossibly far away. Locking in with a " sprint month," however, might get you there sooner than you think.

Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones are getting ready for Lent - and it's going to be a joint effort. "Do you like to give things up?" Jenna asked Sheinelle on the Feb. 19 episode of TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, while discussing how LeBron James said he gave up wine and chocolate chip cookies to get back in shape when he recently appeared on the "Mind the Game" podcast.
On October 15th, 2024, I saw a picture of myself sitting by the pool and didn't recognize myself. It was the biggest I'd ever been, and I felt like it wasn't really me. I decided to go a year without added sugar, and I lost some weight. If anything had even one gram of added sugar, I didn't eat it for a full year.
On a recent stay at a friend's house, I encountered a familiar problem. The friend, a thoughtful host, had left us washcloths, shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, and towels. She'd set out a bottle of filtered water and plastic cups. But when I stepped into the shower, I discovered that she had not given us what once would have seemed like a basic personal-care necessity: a bar of soap.
The aesthetic appeal of drainage massage in propelling the profile of the lymphatic system can't be denied either. Whether for health conditions or cosmetic purposes, the specialist technique can reduce swelling, making it easier for the lymph nodes to rid toxins. In turn, less puffiness and more definition can be seen immediately, "which naturally lends itself to social media and celebrity culture," points out Rhian Stephenson, a nutritional therapist, ex-athlete, and founder of Artah.
Sitting in the audience, listening to these professionals in perfect harmony, brought me back to my days in the band. I wasn't good, it was mandatory, and I played the trombone. I desperately wanted to quit. We couldn't have backpacks in school, so I walked through the halls lugging my trombone in my right hand and books under my left armpit. This made me a perfect target for a bully or two to come up behind me and smack the books out from under me.
Since good bedding can cost hundreds of dollars, though, I always make sure to buy bed sheets and pillows on sale, and Presidents Day is known as the holiday with the best discounts on sleep-related home goods. Naturally, Amazon has marked down prices on a ton of editor- and celebrity-loved pillows and bed sheets from Cozy Earth, Brooklinen, and more, starting at $15. Shop our favorite picks below from the Amazon Presidents Day sale and bring hotel-worthy sleep to your home.
But some people dare to imagine something bigger and find ways to get a substantial breather from stress or their day-to-day routines. Mini-sabbaticals. Adult gap years. Micro-retirement. Extended career breaks go by many names and take many forms, from using the time between jobs to explore or taking an employer-approved leave to becoming a digital nomad or saving up for a monthslong adventure.
One of the more unexpected tools now circulating in these high-pressure circles is tapping - a technique involving rhythmic stimulation of specific points on the body, paired with focused language, to influence mental and emotional states. Advocates claim it can restore clarity and control in minutes, whilst sceptics are sure to brand the technique as 'woo-woo'. The truth, as ever, sits somewhere between the two.
"So many women in perimenopause feel like something is 'wrong' with them because they've been sold a completely unrealistic story about female desire," Dr. Vanessa Coppola, a menopause expert and founder of Bare Aesthetic and Bare Soul Wellness, tells Scary Mommy. "You're supposed to want sex the same way you did at 25 for the rest of your life, and if you don't, it must mean you're broken or your relationship is failing."
Late-night snacking has had a bad rap for a long time. When pop culture takes a stab at this (very) human thing, it often portrays the scene as pernicious or, at best, distasteful. Combine that with regular condemnation by diet culture and accusatory media headlines that frame after-dinner eating as a moral failing, and it's easy to see why most of us want to steer clear.
Being a leader today requires a new level of performance. One that overrides fatigue, can suppress internal signals, and absorbs constant urgency, all while rapidly context-switching. Simply said, modern leadership demands have increased, and not everyone is-or wants to stay-on board. Today's leaders face growing expectations, dynamic responsibilities, and constant pressure to perform amid deep uncertainty and an ever-accelerating business ecosystem.
HOME is located in a former Triyoga space, but with a very different vibe - less hardcore wellness, more grab a comfy seat, bring a book and accidentally lose the whole day. Phone calls aren't allowed, shoes have to be removed, as do earphones, and whether that's a sign of me getting old or not, those are exactly the kind of rules I like to have at HOME.
Leadership is often thought of as managing teams, strategies or organizations. But the truth is, leadership starts with managing yourself. A leader who lacks discipline in their personal life, whether in health, time or energy, will struggle to lead others with clarity and consistency. Without personal self-management, even the best leadership strategies fall apart. This is why self-discipline is often called the hidden foundation of leadership success.
"I sleep on this pillow almost every night, and if it wasn't for the unique grid cloud texture, I would definitely mistake this for down because of its superior softness," shares Baker. Even though this falls in the down alternative pillow category, she says it's a worthwhile pick since it gives the type of support that'll help finicky side or back sleepers rest easy.
