Try This! TULA Skincare Review

You know a skincare line is good when you get excited about putting it on. That’s what happened when I tried out TULA, created by gastroenterologist Dr. Roshini Raj using patented probiotic technology. The probiotics, as well as nutripeptides, antioxidants and other ingredients, reduce inflammation to combat aging, soothe acne and rosacea and provide intense moisturizing, all while feeling warm and tingly. Plus, the blue bottles are super pretty.

    7 New Year’s Resolutions Health Experts Wish You’d Really Make

7 New Year’s Resolutions Health Experts Wish You’d Really Make

Ditch those pie-in-the-sky New Year’s resolutions you make every year. With these doctor- and nutritionist-approved goals, you can be healthier and happier in the new year.

Go to Sleep a Bit Earlier
If vowing to get eight hours of sleep every night is totally unrealistic, tell yourself you’ll go to bed 15 minutes earlier than your usual bedtime. “Keep shifting that number earlier and earlier, rather than vowing, ‘I usually go to bed at midnight, now I’m going to bed at 10,” says Roshini Raj, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and co-founder of the skin care company TULA. “Everyone has time to go to bed 15 minutes earlier. If you keep doing it, eventually you will be going to sleep an hour and a half earlier.”

5 Email Habits of Very Productive People

Ping! Check email. Ping. Check email again. Ping. Check. Ping. Check. Ping. Check.

If you’re like most people who sit in front of a computer all day, this probably sounds like you: When you’re not currently replying to an email, you’re looking to see if you have any new ones. Then when something new doescome in, you read it, debate how to respond, then deem it too time-consuming for the moment. “I’ll get to that later,” you think. And if there’s nothing new, you’re nervously wondering why. “Is it because my inbox is full?!” So you keep checking back every 15 seconds until something pops up—in the meantime deleting all the junk mail that has since clogged your inbox.

But a life tethered to your email means those other projects you want and need to do—be they big reports or personal tasks—can get postponed by days, weeks, or months. Not to mention, a new Canadian study found hyperchecking your email can make you (surprise!) more stressed. So we asked five people who have a barrage of emails to answer to tell us how they tame their inbox.

Read on for their strategies to deal with the deep, dark email crevasse.
Respond—don’t mull
“I try to respond to emails as soon as I see them because otherwise they can get pushed further down the inbox and may be ignored. I recommend you be responsive but not superfluous. By responding quickly and writing short, non-flowery emails, you can create an image of efficiency and attentiveness. Even short words like “Thanks” or “Got it” will help you build a culture of trust and signal that you are on top of your inbox.”

    Beauty Advent Calendar Day 15: TULA Probiotic Skincare Revitalizing Eye Cream Review

Beauty Advent Calendar Day 15: TULA Probiotic Skincare Revitalizing Eye Cream Review

“Loving this product! I’m terrible about using eye creams; I’ve never found one that I’ve liked enough to keep up regular use on. (Which is terrible, I know! Bad beauty blogger.)

This little gem might have just rectified that; I just love the way it feels and the improvement I’m able to see in my skin while using it is pretty great. It doesn’t cause any sort of irritation (to either the skin or my eye, from being so close to it), and it has become a part of my daily routine. I will highly consider purchasing this product once my sample runs out–I really don’t want to run out of it!

While it might sound a bit hard to believe, I’m damn sure I saw an immediate difference in the texture of my skin once I started using this. Just one day in, I noticed that my under eye are looked softer and better hydrated, and that hasn’t changed: every day I’ve used it, I’ve felt like I needed to use less concealer under my eyes and that it didn’t crease quite as badly as it did before trying this cream.”

Are You Actually Allergic to Your Office? Maybe

By Dr. Roshini Raj

Ever since I started my new job, I’ve been suffering from headaches and rashes. Could I be allergic to my office?

It’s possible, especially if your symptoms happen only at work. In fact, doctors have a term for this phenomenon—occupational allergies. This is more commonly a problem for, say, nurses who are sensitive to latex or builders who are exposed to a lot of sawdust. But plenty of things found in a typical office could bring on symptoms: the carpet, the cleaning materials the maintenance staff uses or plain old dust, especially if the building is old. Some people’s allergies may be aggravated by compounds that off-gas from furniture or paint.

Your doctor can do some basic testing to help pinpoint a trigger, but the real trouble is that many office-related allergens are unavoidable: You probably won’t convince your employer to install new carpeting throughout your workplace, for example. Buying an air purifier with a HEPA filter for your desk can help. You can also open windows and let in fresh air, or take a daily nondrowsy antihistamine to stay ahead of reactions.

If that doesn’t help, take a look at your diet since you changed jobs—are you using a different coffee creamer, perhaps? Eating at a new food truck? Cut out any additions to see if you feel better.

Stress can also bring on headaches and rashes; if you‘re feeling overwhelmed, discuss priorities with your boss. Even a quick check-in may be enough to ease your mind—and soothe your symptoms.
