Here at CV Skinlabs, we wish all the moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day! It is with a heavy heart that I welcome these holidays this year. My beautiful mother departed this life last month. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to spend the day with her, but I will honor her memory and the great impact she had on my life. My mother was full of grace, beauty and kindness. She touched everyone with her kindness and was a pillar of strength to our family and community. Because of my mom, you see, I do what I do…
WWhen you think of exercise to relieve stress, classic “relaxation” routines like yoga or tai chi may come to mind. However, your Pilates routine can also help you reduce stress and anxiety in powerful ways. Pilates re-emerged as a popular workout trend in 2024 (interest in floor Pilates, for example, grew 37 percent in the past year, per consumer data firm Eyes)—and for good reason. Pilates is not only designed to improve your strength and flexibility, but it can promote a mind-body connection that can help reduce stress. Here’s what you need to know about the connection between Pilates and…
What do babies see? What are they looking at? The answers to these questions are very different for younger babies than they are for older infants, children, and adults. Characterized by some high-contrast edges in simple patterns, these early scenes also contain the very materials needed to build a strong foundation for human vision. That’s the finding of a new study, “An edge-simplicity bias in the visual input of young infants,” published May 10 in Advances in Science by IU researchers Erin Anderson, Rowan Candy, Jason Gold and Linda Smith. The starting assumption for everyone thinking about the role…

Beautycounter is temporarily closed. I share what happened and answer the long-awaited question: “Is Beautycounter Back?” Last week, Beautycounter Brand Advocates (Advisors) found out that Beautycounter will be closed/out of business for quite some time – at least until Fall 2024. This was devastating news for me and I know many of you who use and love these products you also feel very disappointed. I feel like a rug has been pulled out from under me. I had NO idea this was coming or that the company was on the verge of a major transition. In fact, the week before…
In fitness, we tend to underestimate the basics: getting enough water, getting enough sleep, and yes, walking enough steps. As simple as it is, walking — which requires no training or special equipment — can have a big impact on your mind and body. Brisk walking counts as cardio, but you don’t need to pick up the pace to reap many of the benefits of walking. Why is walking important? “This is what we must do!” says Mary Beth Rockwell, CPT, CNC, CES.. “Walking is a very effective, low-intensity and fuss-free form of exercise.” Here’s what you need to know…
A new study released to mark the 70th anniversary of Sir Roger Bannister’s 4-minute mile record has revealed that the first 200 runners to follow in his footsteps also have another remarkable trait. The study by researchers in Australia and Canada found that 200 elite runners live an average of almost five years longer than the general population. Professor Mark Haykowsky, Chair of Aging and Quality of Life Research in the School of Nursing at the University of Alberta, says the findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine demonstrate the vital importance of aerobic fitness. Breaking his…
I have thought many times what makes a person commit suicide. Mainly, this is because I have been actively and passively suicidal for extended periods of my life. It’s hell and I hate it. There are both general and specific things that make a person suicidal. Knowing these factors, along with ways to protect yourself from suicide, can help. General factors that make a person suicidal The biggest predictor of suicide is mental illness. Specifically, a psychotic disorder (such as schizophrenia), bipolar disorder, or a substance-related disorder all have high risks of suicide. In the case of bipolar disorder, suicide…
