5 Things You To When Traveling With Pets

Traveling with pets demands some extra attention and planning. Here’s all you should know.

Traveling is stressful, even more when you’re responsible for a pet. If you’re new to all this or haven’t boarded a plane with your big dog in a long long time, do your research and don’t make any rash decisions. Airlines have become more strict in recent years, with longer wait times and more stressful airports.

Here are the 5 things to know when traveling with pets.

Prepare them for the trip

Each trip demands different things. If you’re planning on journeying by car to a neighboring state, don’t fret too much. Most important is to make your pet as comfortable as possible before and during the trip. Watch their diet and keep them hydrated in case of dramatic weather changes. If you’re planning on traveling by plane, more things need to be accounted for.

Do research on your airline’s pet policy

Each airline has a different policy when it comes to pets, with some accepting only cats and dogs and others accepting birds, ferrets and other animals. Keep in mind that you’ll have to pay a ticket for your pet and that you’ll need a kennel that’s big enough for them to move around comfortably and that’s easy to carry around. Airlines also have different policy on kennels. You can check out these articles for more information.

Know the rules of the place you’re traveling to

Is the hotel or place you’re staying at pet friendly? Do you have to pay an extra fee? Does your pet need any vaccines before entering the country? Is your pet allowed in the country?

All questions are fair when traveling with an animal, especially if you’re leaving the country and if you own an exotic pet. Most pet friendly hotels tend to charge an extra fee per animal, requiring you to stay with your pet for safety precautions. If you’re planning on doing some sightseeing, take your pet with you or book a pet sitter in advance.

Find the best way to travel

Whether you choose to travel with your pet on a car or a plane is up to you. Each has their own pros and cons. While traveling by car is safer and less expensive, your pet is more likely to get restless or car sick. Prepare your pet ahead of time by going on small drives with them, that way a long trip won’t be a shock to them. Be ready to do more stops than usual and remember to keep your leash nearby. It’s also important to keep your pet hydrated and to avoid giving them too much food before the trip.

Is your pet the traveling kind?

Pets have personalities, with some being easy going and others being nervous and easily rattled. Account for this before making your travel plans, ensuring that they’re ready to take on the new challenge. If you feel that a trip might be dangerous for your pet, it’s best to leave them at home, where they’re comfortable and under the care of a trusted someone.

Science And Common Sense Say Avoid This While High

Being high and using using your phone leads to regrettable behavior in text messages, social media, and pictures.

Whenever I reconvene with my friends from high school and college, we always end up reminiscing about wild nights that include incredibly stupid and regrettable behavior. At some point, the conversation eventually veers into well-stamped territory—thank god, social media wasn’t as big then as it is now, someone will say while others nod along. Otherwise, there’d be documented evidence of what dumb idiots we can be. Well, now science and commons sense says avoid this while high.

This is a universal feeling, it turns out. According to a new survey published in Substance Abuse, people now really regret using their phone while intoxicated. Researched asked people “entering electronic dance music (EDM) parties in New York City” if they’d ever used illegal drugs. For the 872 people who said yes, they were then asked “whether they were ever high on a drug while (1) posting on social media, (2) calling or texting someone, and (3) being in a photo.”

Then if they answered yes, researchers asked if they felt regret over such actions. For the analysis, the scientists determined “regret” by whether or not that person one felt dismayed or embarrassed over by the social and/or professional consequences of their actions. Being high, meanwhile, was gauged by marijuana, ecstasy, MDMA, and cocaine usage.

According to the survey, about a third posted (34.3%) post on social media while high and a fifth (21.4%) later regretted it. Calling exes and/or booty calls was more probably behavior, as more than half (55.9%) reported to doing so and 30.5% later regretted it. Lastly, just under half (47.6%) believe they had knowingly appeared in a photo posted online while high. This is where respondent most regretted the behavior (32.7%).

“Traditional prevention and harm reduction measures have not focused on the social risks of substance use with regard to social media and other forms of modern communication,” wrote researchers. “Although prevention programming has largely focused on physical safety (e.g., not driving after drinking), such programs can also stress that that simple use of a smart phone while high can increase risk for a user engaging in regretful behavior.”

To treat an actual medical condition, Chrissy Tiegen got armpit botox injections; Prince Harry is excited his son has his hair

Chrissy Teigen Got Botox In Her Armpits To Stop Sweating

Via iHeart Radio:

Chrissy Teigen once again proves she’s the most candid celeb out there. The 33-year-old television host took her Instagram followers inside a doctor’s where she received botox injections in her armpits. She received the treatment in order to curb excessive amounts of sweating, which is an actual medical condition known as Hyperhidrosis.

“BOTOXED MY ARMPITS” Chrissy excitedly captioned a video of Dr. Jason Diamond performing the injections. “TRULY BEST MOVE I HAVE EVER MADE.” She then went on to say “no more soaking through silk!” and revealed the procedure “truly didn’t hurt at all! But I also do laser hair removal there so my pain tolerance might be quite high.”

Chrissy’s mom can even be heard in the background of the video teasing her daughter. She says the skin in Chrissy’s armpits looks like chicken skin. LOL! That’s what mom’s are for, right? “That really isn’t anything,” Chrissy can also be heard saying. “It looked very frightening.”

“Hyperhydrosis can be treated temporarily by Botox injections; It requires about 100 units of Botox and lasts only about 3-4 months,” Laura ALtman, Physician Assistant at Tribeca MedSpa, explained to Page Six Style. Patients who treat Hyperhydrosis with Botox usually receive the injections a few times a year in order to keep their excessive sweating at bay.

Archie Harrison Has Red Hair Just Like His Dad, Prince Harry

Via Cosmopolitan:

Apparently, Archie looks like he’s going to have red hair just like his father, Prince Harry.
Hello and good freakin’ morning! If you’re not feeling chipper at the moment, wait until you hear this super exciting royal baby news: Baby Archie, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s cute new(ish) born bébé, is confirmed to be a red head—just like his daddy! How adorable is that!

According to a People source, Baby Sussex is the cutest lil thing. Not only is he a ball of sunshine, but the source says it appears he’s beginning to develop the Duke of Sussex’s signature orange/red/auburn-y hair color. “He’s a happy baby,” the source said. “He has lovely, puffy little legs and tufts of reddish hair. He’s really adorable.” Reddish! Hair!!! Thank God I have my hairstylist on speed dial, because the second that baby’s head of hair really starts coming in, I’m telling Olga to give me the hottest shade of Archie Orange™.

Even though this source has the royal tea on Archie’s hair color, they still don’t really know whether he looks more like mom or dad. During their first family outing when Baby Archie was first presented to the world, Meghan admitted that she and Harry don’t really who Archie looks the most like. “We’re still trying to figure that out,” Meghan admitted.

Harry also put in his two cents, saying that Archie’s looks at the moment are subject to change. Which, fair. Be honest: Do you look exactly like your baby pictures? “Everyone says babies change so much over two weeks. We’re basically monitoring how the changing process happens over this next month really,” Harry said. “His looks are changing every single day, so who knows.”

5 Foods You’re Eating That Are Bad For The Environment

5 Foods You’re Eating That Are Bad For The Environment

Global warming is influenced by almost everything we do, including the food we consume. By managing our intake of these foods we can help preserve the state of the planet.

Because most of us are pre-occupied saving energy, recycling, using reusable water bottles and more, it’s easy to forget that one of the simplest and most effective ways to help out the world is to moderate our consumption of certain foods.

According to a report from the United Nations, the food we consume affects global warming, which in turn affects the production of this food. And while this phenomenon is mostly out of our hands and is largely due to companies who conduct these harmful agricultural practices, being informed and raising awareness on the topic might help change some perspectives and inspire new businesses to develop less harmful ways of making food.

Check out five unlikely foods that have a large impact on the health of our environment:

Meat

We’ll start out with the obvious one. Americans love their proteins with the Seattle Times reporting that on 2018 people consumed almost 10 ounces of meat and poultry a day. For some perspective, the recommended amount by the FDA is 5 to 6 ounces.

Raising large amounts of livestock for food production takes up a lot of energy and resources. Per Scientific American, the production of beef, chicken and pork “emits more atmospheric greenhouse gases than do all forms of global transportation or industrial processes.”

While you could choose to forego meats altogether, reducing your weekly meat intake and telling a few friends to follow your lead can have a significant positive impact on the environment.

Cheese

Most dairy products fall into this category because, like meat, breeding livestock takes up enormous amounts of resources. In case you forgot, cheese comes from milk, which comes from cows. It doesn’t grow on trees, which would certainly be nice. The reason why cheese is more damaging than just milk is because it takes a lot of milk to make one block of cheese. This is extremely taxing on resources, not to mention the cows, which need to bred longer, which means more antibiotics and food. Dairy cows also release large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s worse than carbon dioxide.

Avocados

I know what you’re thinking: “Avocados are fruits! Fruits are good!” While this is true, avocados are also hard to cultivate. They’re a single-crop product, which means they need to grow on the same land over and over again, which requires a lot of water to grow. An estimates 2.2 pounds of avocados need 528 gallons of water to reach maturity. Maybe that’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s also important to highlight that the more land used, the more weak and prone to diseases it becomes, requiring more fertilizers and pesticides which in turn feed into global warming and it become this endless loop of bad stuff. It’s very depressing.

Almond milk

As healthy and tasty as almond milk is, it’s production also leaves a big imprint on the environment. The preparation of almond milk is a long and strenuous one, that demands 5 liters of water to cultivate a single almond. It takes over 100 liters of water to get to the almond milk.

Rice

One of the world’s most popular foods is also one that requires a lot of water. According to The Guardian, it takes 2,497 liters of water to produce one kilo of rice. Adding stress to this situation is the fact that a large percentage of the world considers rice one of their primary food sources since it’s cheap and available in most places.

Can I Grow Legal Industrial Hemp

Before anyone goes spending their hard-earned money or retirement savings on supplies to kickstart their hemp garden, there are a few things everyone should know.

It is true that industrial hemp is now legal at the federal level for the first time in more than eight decades. Last year, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made it his mission to pull what Popular Mechanics called a “billion-dollar cash crop” back in 1938 out of the pits of prohibition.

The 2018 Farm Bill, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump, included a provision that eliminates industrial hemp from the confines of the Controlled Substances Act and allows farmers to produce the crop in a manner similar to corn and soybeans.

But ever since this law was slapped on the books, we have heard countless reports of people interested in growing hemp at home. Some are even attending “hemp meetings,” where they are being told by program administrators that they will soon have the freedom to cultivate this crop outside just as they might a row of tomato plants. There are even folks ready to drop thousands of dollars on building a grow room in their residence to facilitate their dream of growing hemp. But before anyone goes spending their hard-earned money or retirement savings on supplies to kickstart their hemp garden, there are a few things everyone should know.

How Hemp Can Be Used To Clean Up Oil Spills — Photo by Lukas via Pexels

The first tidbit of information that prospective home hemp growers might be interested in is the fact that personal hemp cultivation is not legal in most states. The 2018 Farm Bill did legalize hemp production nationwide, although states must first pass their own hemp laws, but nothing written in the language of the federal law gives everyday people the right to grow hemp. The bill was passed specifically to provide the agricultural community an additional cash crop to add to their plow and pick repertoire, and it can also be grown for research purposes. But before farmers or scientists can put a single seed in the ground, they must first be issued a license by their respective state department of agriculture. This process can take months before they are given the green light.

Applicants must also submit to a background check. Right now, farmers need to show a record free of criminal offenses (none drug-related) before they can even be considered for a license to grow hemp. The law also comes with minimum requirements on square footage and acreage. Farmers will need to show that they are planning to grow acres of hemp before a license can be procured. Applicants must also submit the GPS coordinates of their hemp fields to the Feds. Rest assured, Uncle Sam and all of his cronies are going to watch hemp production like a hawk.

But Joe Schmo down the street cannot apply for a license in order to grow hemp in his backyard.

The only exception is if a person lives in a legal marijuana state where home cultivation is built into the law. For example: Since Colorado allows adults 21 and over to grow the cannabis plant at home for personal use, someone could technically put some hemp in the ground without putting themselves at risk of legal woes. But it would be necessary to grow this crop according to the rules associated with home cultivation. Honestly, considering that most states only allow individuals to put around 3-6 cannabis plants in the ground at a time, growing hemp would be pretty useless in the grand scheme of things. No one is going to produce enough useful fiber with just a few hemp plants. However, a small hemp crop could produce high quality CBD extracts.

But if someone from Indiana (or any other prohibition state) plants a hemp garden, they can still get into a lot of trouble. Even though the state has passed a law allowing industrial hemp production and CBD sales (manufactured with hemp) none of these statutes allow residents to grow hemp the same as tomatoes. Doing so would be considered illegal cultivation of the cannabis plant (a Schedule I drug), which, depending on the weight, could bring about felony charges complete with a prison term and hefty fines. In other words, no, you cannot start a home hemp garden.

Miley & Liam’s Peeps Are Trading Accusations Of Infidelity And Drug Use; Jennifer Garner’s New BF Has Been Good For Ben Affleck

Friends of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are swapping nasty theories of why they split; Jennifer Garner is in love, which has been good for ex Ben Affleck.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth’s peeps are trading accusations of infidelity, drug use

Via TMZ:

It started out amicable, but the breakup between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth is now in nasty territory … with claims of drug use and infidelity. Sources with direct knowledge of the breakup are telling radically different stories. Sources from Miley’s side tell TMZ, she tried valiantly to save the marriage and the dealbreaker was that Liam was drinking a lot and using certain drugs, and she wanted no part of it … especially since she struggled with substance abuse in the past.

Sources from Liam’s side are calling BS, saying the drug and alcohol claims are designed to mask what they say really destroyed their marriage … they claim infidelity on Miley’s part.

As you saw, Miley and Kaitlynn Carter were making out in Italy last Friday … though our Miley sources made it clear … she had broken up with Liam months earlier — we’re told Liam begs to differ. As one source put it, “This is another attempt by Miley to distract from her infidelity and recent outrageous public behavior.”

Jennifer Garner ‘feels like she’s finally found a true partner’ in John Miller

Via US Weekly:

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend John Miller is a good influence on her ex-husband Ben Affleck, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“Jen having a boyfriend has been the best thing to happen to Ben and Jen in a long time,” says an insider, noting that “Ben’s become a better parent.”

Since their split in 2015, the actor has stepped things up in his role as dad to Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10, and Samuel, 7.

“He’s really showing Jen that he can be a better person,” says a source about the Justice League star. “They’re coparenting in a way they never have before.”

“He ultimately just wants to be the best father he can be and part of that is continuing a loving relationship with Jen,” adds a source.

The Gone Girl actor is also getting along great with Cali Group CEO, 41, too. “Ben has no problem with John,” says the insider, noting that Miller’s daughters from a previous marriage have had “playdates with Jen and Ben’s kids. Ben totally trusts him.”

6 Random Facts About Ice Cream That Will Melt Your Brain

Nearly 90% of us have ice cream in our freezers right now. Here are 6 more surprising facts about everyone’s favorite summer treat.

One of the best parts about summer is the chance to have ice cream whenever and wherever you want it. But while seasons aren’t a determinant for a large percentage of ice cream eaters (in fact, 87% of Americans have ice cream in their freezer at any given time), there’s something special about having your favorite ice cream as you’re taking a walk under the hot sun.

Ice cream just might be the world’s favorite and most malleable dessert. Here are five random ice cream facts that will have you running towards your nearest ice cream shop.

Vanilla is the top selling flavor

Predictably, the best selling ice cream flavor in the U.S. is vanilla, followed by chocolate, cookies and cream, mint chocolate, and chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s likely vanilla and chocolate, the King and Queen of ice cream flavors, will ever fall out of flavor. They’re just too versatile. Not many flavors work in both root beer floats and atop a slice of pie.

You can fix a brain freeze…fast!

Brain freeze, or that awful moment when the ice cream touches the roof of your mouth, is a weird phenomenon. The feeling of your brain “freezing” only happens occasionally, more likely when the weather is very hot and when you consume something cold very fast! When brain freeze hits, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth or drink something warm. Both will normalize the temperature in your mouth and the pain will dissipate. (Here are 6 Things You Never Knew About Brain Freeze).

**There’s national ice cream day and month**

While this shouldn’t be surprising because there’s a national day and month for everything, national ice cream month takes place in July, with national ice cream day held on the third Sunday of the month. This date was selected by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, when he said Americans should celebrate the day with the “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

Non-dairy ice cream is on the rise

As more people eschew animal products in favor of plant-based foods, coconut milk ice cream is projected to experience a more than 14% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2024, according to MarketWatch.

Clint Eastwood really loves it!

Clint Eastwood loves ice cream so much that he served as mayor of the city of Carmel, California for a term in order to protect it. He nominated himself to oppose a weird law that would ban selling and eating ice cream on public streets. “Eastwood campaigned in part on a platform that promised to do away with the old city hierarchy’s ‘kill-joy mentality’,“ reported the LA Times.

…So do most other politicians!

Ice cream seems to be the one thing that unites both sides of the aisle. So much so, eating the stuff in front of cameras appears to be a critical chapter in the Campaign Trailing 101 handbook. Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan are just some of the presidents (and presidential hopefuls) who’ve been snapped eating the cold treat.

Here is a Startling Peppa Pig Makeup Tutorial

There’s a freaky make up tutorial video making the rounds that shows girls how to look like the Peppa Pig cartoon character.

There’s something about Peppa Pig that stresses the world out. Maybe it’s the panic she ensues with her disturbing enormous height (it’s rumored she’s over 7-feet tall) or the fact that she causes little kids to talk with a British accent. Whatever the reason, she remains one of the most controversial cartoon characters in a long time.

this is terrifying pic.twitter.com/8Af9fvtT6X

— Memeulous (@Memeulous) July 20, 2019

Now, there’s a bizarre make up tutorial that’s bringing Peppa back into the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The video, which claims to be family friendly (lies!), shows YouTuber Jody Steel doing an elaborate make up routine that makes her look like Peppa, although she also looks like something out of “American Horror Story.” The creepy kids’ music and pitch black background isn’t helping either.

Steel is a very talented make up artist, having similarly strange videos on her channel that show different make up routines for characters like Detective Pikachu, Forky from “Toy Story 4”, a shark and some monsters from the anime series “Attack on Titan.” Steel appears to enjoy the challenge of creating realistic make up renditions of complex subjects like animation and, well, a shark.

She should own her weirdness because these make up tutorials are freaky and super easy to watch.

Science Says You Should Only Simultaneously Date This Number

While dating apps give you the chance to meet hundreds of people, a sex expert says that once you’ve passed a certain number of options your odds of making choices and dating will be affected.

With so many dating apps out there’s never been a better time to date as many people as you want. However, a sex expert says that this phenomenon leads to too many choices, something that makes your brain feel very scrambled.

Helen Fisher, a sex expert and scientific consultant for Match.com, says that brains aren’t equipped to have so many options. “The problem is, the human brain is not built to even cope with so many choices. The brain has a sweet spot, apparently between five and nine alternatives, and after that, you don’t choose any,” she says on the podcast Sex with Emily.

Fisher recommends that after chatting with the 9th person you should stop and get to know at least one of them more. “The more you get to know somebody, the more you like them, and the more that you think that they like you,” she says.

Another recommendation she gives out is to remain positive on first dates, ignoring minor quibbles such as mismatched shoes, a photo with a bad angle on their profile, or someone who doesn’t dress according to your tastes.

While we tend to be negative about these issues, there’s no way of knowing if this person is right for you on a first date, and they might surprise you as you grow more comfortable with each other and get to know them more. “If it is a maybe, go out again,” she suggests.

5 Videos Of Cute Animals To Get You Through This Week: August 12

This week’s column features an unlikely trio of animal friends, a crazy puppy, a dog and a pool, cats on a hammock and a dog drinking wine.

There’s no better pick-me-up than the one you get when you see a clip of an animal acting silly, which is why we’ve compiled this weekly column. These short videos feature all sorts of animals, providing you with that much needed mid-week rush of endorphins.

This week’s column features several animals, ranging from the standard crazy puppy to an unlikely trio of friends made up of a cat, a dog and a duck. There’s also a a dog retrieving a ball from a pool, two cats on a hammock and a big dog having wine. Check them out:

An unlikely trio

https://www.instagram.com/p/B06BIx7hUmu/

Friendships between cats and dogs are uncommon, but they happen. Friendships between cats, dogs and ducks though? That’s something I hadn’t seen that until today. There’s also a chicken in the background that doesn’t seem to be a part of this friend group and who’s just hanging out and walking around.

A crazy puppy

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ir4KIlB84/

Puppies are all crazy and relatively the same. That doesn’t make them any less cute or watchable.

A dog and a pool

The minute the video started playing we all knew what was going to happen. Still, this dog is so dumb and tries so hard that the video remains entertaining until the predictable and amazing end.

Cats in a hammock

Not much happens on this video. There’s two cats chilling on a hammock until one falls in a very ungraceful way. This cat also has a big and cute belly.

A dog having wine

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JbxmphFiM/

Big dogs don’t understand their size and want to still be a part of everything, like having wine from your glass or sleeping on the same bed as you. Maybe they know their size and they just don’t care.
