First, some quick and dirty tips about dirty faces. “Most people should wash twice daily because the amount of oil and dirt that builds up over 12 hours warrants a cleaning,” says Dr. Jeremy Fenton of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City. What you don’t want, however, is a face wash that strips all the oil off of your skin. “You need to choose carefully for your skin type, and even pay attention to the season or weather,” he adds....

The question, then: How do you make that enough? And what should you do differently when the number of sessions goes up? “That’s going to vary a lot person to person, depending on what your goals are,” says Jayson Lee, a personal trainer in New York City. “If your goal is to lose weight, the focus is going to be more on cardio because it burns slightly more calories in a shorter period of time....

One of the first things my wife, Lupe, mentioned on our first date was that she had a son, Isaiah, who was 10 years old at the time. I think the fact that I didn’t immediately ask for the check that night, eventually led to meeting him four months later. Marrying her four years later gave me an instant family, and I officially became a stepfather. I have that opportunity to be a father figure, and I can honestly say that I love this role....

When our first child was born eight years ago, I announced to my wife, “It’s Owen!” We had wanted a surprise, so we’d chosen a name for a boy and a girl – and then nurses whisked his tiny gray body to a warming bed. I walked to the other side of the delivery room and followed the nurse with our son. Tears streamed down my face. I reached down to Owen’s tiny hand, and he grabbed my finger....

But it’s more than just a futuristic face. The Dyson Pure Cool Link, the latest iteration of the company’s series of oscillating, bladeless fans, automatically measures a room’s air quality and then eradicates any allergens and pollutants it finds. The fan’s filtration system is said to trap not only 99.97 percent of .3 micron small germs and particulates (including mold, bacteria, pollen, and pet dander), but also such gasses as Formaldehyde and Benzene....

It is also important that parents be reasonable. The first sleepover is not an important milestone. If a child is already having trouble getting through the night at home, it might be a good idea for parents to skip the sleepover or organize a home game before asking the kid to hit the road. “If they’re having nightmares or bedwetting or they end up in your bed at 2 a....

Razor bills the E-XR as it’s most powerful electric scooter to date, with a laundry list of impressive specs. The beefy rear-drive street machine boasts a 350-watt, kick-to-start, high-torque, brushless hub motor. A 36V lithium-ion pack, rechargeable battery provides a range of 20 miles and 80 minutes of continuous use. And, most importantly, the E-XR can hit 17 miles-per-hour on the flats — enough to get shirt-tails flapping, turn heads and cause wives to get that concerned look and ask about increasing life insurance....

On January 4, the earth will be about 91.4 million miles from the sun, compared to our average distance of about 93 million miles. The earth will also be moving fastest in orbit tomorrow at about 19 miles per hour, which is about 0.6 miles per second faster than when the planet is the furthest from the sun. Now you may be asking yourself: how exactly does the earth get closer to the sun if it moves around the giant fireball in a circle?...

Sweating Makes You Arguably Cooler Than Women Men’s sweat glands activate more easily than those of women, one study shows. Although that may make it seem like dudes are simply the sweatier sex, it just means that it takes less work for their natural cooling system to kick in. Women have to generate far more body heat to break a sweat. For men, when it rains it pours. And that’s an efficient way to shed heat and stay cool....

Raising kids is hard and disagreements are natural. But this still bugs you because at one time you were both in sync about how’d you parent. You’d always listen patiently. You’d fully explain your reasoning, and you would never, ever, ever yell. Right? Then you actually had kids and you realized that those were hopes. Sometimes feelings get exposed during meltdowns and way-too-early mornings because we all have our moments....

What Were The Old USPS Plans? This February, the USPS announced its plan for replacing its aging fleet. At the time, the USPS said it would make just 10% of their next-generation fleet — a set of vehicles that are supposed to last a very long time — electric. For reference, these vehicles were supposed to replace a fleet that was initially purchased in the years between 1987 and 1995, per ABC News....

Väätäinen has made a name for himself on Instagram with his other real-life Disney renderings of the characters we know and love. The artist boasts over 213,000 follows on Instagram and has created ultra-realistic (and just plain stunning) portraits of Disney heroes, heroines, and villains. His newest collection, though, is kicking things up a notch. Väätäinen’s interpretations of Disney dads are total beefcakes, and we’re not even a little bit mad about it....

Alabama’s Rickwood Caverns State Park, which features a 260-million-year-old cave 175 miles beneath the earth, has transformed its unique landscape into a memory-making winter wonderland for the holiday season. “Known as Wonderland Under Warrior, the park’s centerpiece cave system will feature festive light displays, decorations, and characters who are available for photos,” the website for the event reads. “It all accentuates the cave’s natural formations.” The walk for the Under Warrior tour only goes approximately 1 mile into the cave, so it’s accessible for small children and guests with mobility issues....

Workers are quitting their jobs across industrial lines, but there are particular areas where it was more pronounced. The two tracked industries with the highest quit rate in August were retail trade, where 4.7 percent of workers quit, and accommodation and food services, where 6.4 percent of workers quit. That adds up to more than 1.6 million people, which means that those two industries accounted for more than a third of the workers who quit across the entire economy....

There’s no shortage of waterfront property in Michigan. The state not only borders four of the five Great Lakes, but it also boasts a frankly excessive 64,980 inland lakes. One of those lakes sits behind this not-so-modest 8,664-square-foot family home in Kalamazoo County that looks like what would happen if you tried to interbreed a regional airport and a Beaver Creek ski chalet with the nicest middle school in Orlando — but, you know, in a good way....

Shared on the Alright Mom Facebook page, the meme perfectly captures the four stages of shoe warfare that even cool dads like Adam Driver face on the reg: Denial “Reed, I know you want to keep playing with your trucks, but we need to get our shoes on now so we don’t miss the bus. I bet you can do it super fast!” Bargaining “Ok, now we’re definitely going to be late....

In a video posted by Reddit user u/natsdorf that’s since gone viral, one dad shows the clever way he found to put his young daughter at ease on a trip to the doctor’s office to get not one but two shots. The clip shows an objectively adorable little girl sitting in her dad’s lap on a doctor’s table, the kind with the crinkly paper. He tells her to look away as the nurse, who gamely plays along, “injects” his right arm before injecting hers....

Children need to learn to wait for many things, and for many reasons. They’re asked to wait their turn to play with a toy. They’re challenged to hold their pee while other kids finish using the toilet. And they’re expected to wait to cross the road so they don’t get run over by a car. That last one is perhaps the biggest lesson parents need to impart: waiting in order to remain safe....
