Kiddos, your first day of school outfit might need a matching mask. New guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all students over 2 years old, along with staff, wear masks, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19. But — and this is key — it's likely not every school will comply.
You're vaccinated. Fantastic, kudos and thank you! But just about now the news is buzzing about breakthrough cases and you might be wondering: Could I get sick or get a family member sick? Excellent and important questions — especially in the context of the delta variant.
In many places right now it's hot — really hot. So what's an outdoor-loving exerciser to do? Yeah, yeah, get up earlier to beat the heat — thanks, early birds, for the advice. But let's get real: For some of us, that just isn't going to happen. Work, kids, and our desperate cling to sleep — all get in the way. So, is that lunchtime run or bike ride in 95-degree weather OK for our bodies? The short answer is yes, BUT you need to know how to stay safe.
Oh social media — our relationship just gets overwhelming at times. We try to quit you but you are so insanely addictive and we always come crawling back. I mean, snuggling kittens! Vacation pics! Videos of Bennifer! So it's time for us to be mature and really take a look at what this relationship means. First up, say experts: We've got to stop thinking of it as a mindless activity and start thinking of it as a meaningful one with the potential to reveal certain truths about ourselves. Way deep and way important.
We know our pets might have to deal with separation anxiety when we (gulp) head back to the office. What many of us are just starting to realize is that we might get separation anxiety ourselves! I mean, they've been our constant, unconditional-loving companions during a pretty isolating (and sometimes really rotten) year. So how do we make the transition easier for pet lovers and pets alike? This dog-loving editor needs to take deep calming breaths just thinking about it.
