Annie Murphy chooses to keep her private life pretty private. It’s understandable, as an actress responsible for bringing us the beloved character from Emmy Award-winning comedy Schitt’s Creek Alexis Rose (meme-friendly catch phrases, confusing and concerning name-dropping anecdotes and all!), she’s got a whole lot of eyes on her and she’s more than entitled to keep some things to and for herself. But that’s also why it’s telling that she chose to start opening up about one of the most shek

Everyone deserves access to the mental health care they want and need. But if you haven’t noticed, it can be extremely difficult to find affordable or in-network mental health resources that fit within our weekly schedule. Luckily enough, your first steps to mental wellness could be in the palm of your hands — literally One study published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science suggests that the use of smartphones is causing a concerning spike in depressive symptoms and suicide rates in shek

Halloween is almost here and despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, experts agree that this year will be better than the last. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have switched course from last year’s recommendation of staying home, and given trick-or-treaters the green light to get out and enjoy the spooky night.  “Although Halloween this year surely won’t be like pre-pandemic Halloweens, things have definitely improved,” said Dr. Noah Greenspan, a cardiopulmonary physical therapist and Founder of the Pulmonary shek

Let’s cut to the chase — I’m a pretty anxious person. From indecision around any topic (like which restaurants to eat at, what jobs to apply for, whether I should turn left or right across any given street) to the hyper-awareness of my surroundings (how I can know exactly which pants are in my giant clothing pile), my mind has never known peace. At first, I thought I was overthinking it. But, let me tell you, if you’re actively thinking shek

Vaginas are like snowflakes — they’re all unique. But one thing they have in common is that everyone experiences vaginal odors. Most of the time, it’s not cause for concern — it’s just par for the course and a totally natural part of having a vagina (they are supposed to smell like vaginas, not flowers or citrus or multi-purpose cleaners, after all). But for understandable reasons, many of us get concerned that a vaginal odor could mean there’s an underlying shek

Nothing feels more relaxing than a soothing massage after a long day or an intense workout, but frequent appointments can become pretty pricey. Not to mention, they take up a lot of time. What if you could have one every day—wherever, whenever—and without paying top dollar? That’s the beauty of percussive massagers, like the cult-fave Theragun, which offer relief on your own watch. The name brand can easily run you a few hundred dollars, but luckily, we just spotted a shek

Insecurities: We’ve all got ‘em. Perhaps when looking in the mirror, we wish our teeth were whiter, our skin smoother, our hair shinier. However, when we step away from the glass, these thoughts typically fade into the background and we continue our day — give or take the amplified nonsense from the diet culture industry pounding steadily in most media we consume. But what if these minor insecurities didn’t fade, but were rather amplified, compromising our ability to function? For shek

Elizabeth Hurley first aligned herself with the Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign in 1995, after she was approached by Evelyn Lauder to use her platform as a model to talk about something important: “She said ‘It’s for breast cancer.
