Kate Middleton, Prince William Delay Trip To Avoid In-Laws; Brad Falchuk Explains Why It Took A Year To Move In With Wife Gwyneth

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly delay trip to Queen’s summer home to avoid Harry and Meghan; and we now know why it took a year for Gwyneth to move in with her husband.

Brad Falchuk Gives a Sweet Reason for Waiting a Full Year to Live With Wife Gwyneth

Speaking with WSJ Magazine in a new interview, Falchuk explained that the duo’s decision to hold off on living together basically boiled down to one major factor: their kids. Paltrow shares daughter Apple, 15, and son Moses, 13, with her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

Falchuk shares daughter Isabella and son Brody with ex-wife Suzanne Falchuk. So, they wanted to ensure they held space for everyone to adjust in their own time. “I’m moving in September. We’ve just done it slowly,” Falchuk said, elaborating, “Divorce is terrible, even when it’s the right thing to do. And it’s really hard on kids. Come September, we’re all gonna Brady Bunch it up, and it’ll be great.”

When that time does finally come, Falchuk insists it will look a lot like any other blended family, saying, “There’s a media version of her and me, but we’re just home cooking dinner. Or she’s just cooking me breakfast. That’s all. We could not be a more normal couple.”

Kate Middleton, Prince William ‘Delaying’ Scotland Trip To Avoid In-Laws

Via iHeart Radio:

Whispers of a royal feud between the Royal Fab Four are back. While it seemed like everything was hunky-dory between Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently, things have reportedly taken a turn following the release of British Vogue’s September Issue. In case your forgot: the Duchess of Sussex guest-edited the September Issue and apparently offended her in-laws in the process. As a result, Kate and William are reportedly delaying the family trip to Queen Elizabeth’s summer home in Scotland, Balmoral Castle, in order to avoid running into Harry and Meghan. Awkward!

So, what upset the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge so much? Well, according to the Daily Mail’s senior royal expert Robert Jobson, something Prince Harry said while interviewing Jane Goodall for Meghan’s Vogue issue “irked” his older brother. “It is understood William and his wife Kate may delay their trip until Harry and Meghan have returned to Windsor,” Jobson alleges. All this animosity stems from Harry vowing only to have two children “maximum” in order to help save the environment. This pledge “may well have irked the Cambridges, who already have three,” says Jobson.

Jobson also believes Meghan offended the Cambridges, as well, by turning down the opportunity to be on the cover of British Vogue. The publication’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful explained why the Duchess didn’t want to appear as the issue’s cover star, saying “in the end, she felt that it would be in some ways a ‘boastful’ thing to do for this particular project. She wanted, instead, to focus on the women she admires.” Considering Kate posed for the cover of Vogue a few years back, this statement may have been taken the wrong way.

Of course, it’s important to take all these rumors with a grain of salt. Meghan has faced a lot of backlash because of her “Hollywood” background since joining the royal family, so, it makes sense for the Duchess to be cautious about inviting that kind of criticism into her life. Hopefully all is well between the royal in-laws, but we’ll just have to wait and see if the Cambridges join the Sussexes in Scotland.

5 Health Benefits Of Taking A Social Media Break

It’s been scientifically proven that social media breaks can decrease your anxiety levels and increase your overall happiness.

Most of us have experienced some of the negative side effects of social media and can even name a handful of smartphone addicts or people whose self esteem is directly influenced by their Instagram feeds.

While moderate social media use does no harm, bringing people together and maintaining relationships across countries, people who spend large chunks of their time on these apps tend to experience anxiety and sadness. One day we might feel like underachievers and the next we might be convinced that everyone else is leading better and more fulfilling lives.

If you feel like social media has too much of an influence on your daily life, Bustle spoke with some experts and compiled a list of benefits from a month long break. Here are 5 of our favorites:

A new perspective on social media

Taking as little as one day each week to ignore social media will give you time to focus on your hobbies (i.e. real life), while also giving you some much needed time to examine your relationship with these online spaces. If you’ve found yourself arguing with strangers or friends on Twitter and Facebook, stressing out over Instagram post “likes”, a break might be just what you need. Once you get back online you’ll have a cool head and will be able to examine your behavior and the behaviors of others with less odds of feeling bad.

Improved psychological health

A study on Facebook deactivation found that, on average, people who dropped the social media platform for an entire month were happier and less anxious. Although these results were small, lead author Sarah Eichmeyer said that she was still surprised to discover that there was a link between the site and our overall happiness. “Our study shows that deactivating Facebook indeed causes people to be happier — although not by as much as correlational research might have suggested.”

A break from your obsession with the past

While social media connects us with tons of people who provide good things for our lives, it’s also a direct link to our past, which can be reactivated with a few taps of our cellphones. This, in times of a tough breakup or stress in general, can transform into a sure (and quick) way to feel depressed and to start ruminating about things that happened years ago.

Better sleeping and waking habits

It’s very common for people to check their phones before going to bed and the minute when they wake up. This influences your sleep and the rest of your day in several ways; for example, if you wake up and read a very annoying tweet, this content will stay in your head all through your morning. The same thing happens when you check your smartphone before sleeping at night. An easy fix for this is to prevent yourself from using your phone in bed, purchasing an alarm clock so there’s no temptation.

A reduction of negative self-talk

Social media tends to have an influence on how we perceive ourselves, highlighting all that we’re not doing or all the things we’re bad at. Young people are especially prone to these behaviors. Some time off from your preferred social media site can reduce your need for validation and the stress you feel when you see people doing fun things that you wish you were doing.

Want Better Sleep? Try Doing This 1-2 Hours Before Bedtime

Researchers found that a warm bath or shower, for as little as 10 minutes before bed, can significantly improve overall sleep efficiency.

Do you struggle trying to fall asleep? Do you feel you don’t get enough sleep and you feel sleepy during the day? You are not alone. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has found that one in three American adults have symptoms of insomnia. Data show there are about 100,000 crashes each year related to drowsy driving which results in 1,550 fatalities and 71,000 injuries. The Institute of Medicine reported that the long-term effects of sleep deprivation can cause serious health consequences such as hypertension, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and depression.

Many people try over-the-counter or prescribed sleep aids. But is there any way to fall asleep faster and get better sleep without medication?

I am sleep researcher and graduate student in biomedical engineering at the University of Texas. In a recently published study in collaboration with the UT Health Science Center at Houston and the University of Southern California, colleagues and I showed that a warm bath or shower one to two hours before bedtime can significantly improve your sleep.

Warm bath, cool body

Like so many people, I had sleep problems. I struggled falling asleep, I would wake up in the middle of the night, restless and would wake up not feeling rested. I didn’t have a sleep schedule. After I started looking into the data, I realized how many people live their lives in a sleep deprived state. I was not interested in taking drugs, so that made me interested in studying about non-pharmacological methods to help improve sleep.

My team and I reviewed more than 5,000 studies related to bathing and sleep. Seventeen of these studies met our study criteria to explore the effects of warm bath or shower on sleep. We used a statistical procedure for combining data from multiple studies and to find the optimal timing for the bath.

We found that a warm bath, of around 104 and 109 degrees Fahrenheit, for as little as 10 minutes can significantly improve overall sleep efficiency. In other words, a warm bath led to more time spent in actual sleep rather than turning or tossing and trying to fall asleep, compared to usual sleep without taking bath. When scheduled one to two hours before bedtime, a warm bath can also hasten the speed of falling asleep by about 36%.

We also found that whether people reported feeling rested and like they had a great night’s sleep improved by a warm bath or shower, in most of the studies.

Why does the warm bath or shower help? There is science behind it. Our body temperature is not constant during 24 hours. It is higher in the morning and evening, and it is lowest during nighttime sleep. The body temperature needs to drop to initiate good sleep. When we take a warm bath or shower, the body brings large amount of blood flow to the surface, especially hands and feet. This blood flow brings the heat from the core to the surface and rejects the heat to the environment and causes a drop in body temperature. Therefore, if you take a warm bath/shower at the right biological time – one to two hours before bedtime – it will aid your natural circadian process and improve your sleep.

As a next step, we are now working to design a commercially viable bed system with technology that mimics the effect of warm bath. The bed of the future!

Why Sativas Are Often The Answer To Anxiety Over Indicas

Why Sativas Are Often The Answer To Anxiety Over Indicas

Different terpenes attract us for different reasons and one person’s bedtime medication is another person’s panic attack.

Sativa versus indica is a conversation that’s been going on for a long time. And it’s certainly risen up to the realm of cannabis common knowledge that if you want to experience the munchies, a mellow night in, and a good night’s sleep you pick an indica. If you need to get things done and be creative, you go with the sativa. And if you’re looking for the middle ground, hundreds upon hundreds of hybrids await.

But not everyone falls into the same category when it comes to the effects of cannabis. No one is a cookie cutter person and neither are our pallets when it comes to pot. Different terpenes attract us for different reasons and one person’s bedtime medication is another person’s panic attack.

The biggest reason that people find indicas disconcerting rather than calming is that a heavy hitter can have someone deep inside their head with no way out imaginable. When we get too far inside our heads, it can bring about a host of emotions, some of which we may not be ready to deal with. This can cause anxiety and the addition of not feeling in control of one’s thoughts just adds to the state of panic.

Pure indicas are truly medicine and should not be discredited in any way, shape or form, but they’re not for everybody. Many people find that the cerebral, yet clear headed feeling of a high flying sativa gives them a mental boost, calms anxiety revolving around immediate circumstances and gets them in the mood to be more social, get some cleaning done or simply be.

The solution for most will be somewhere in the middle, though. Breeders around the world have gone to painstaking lengths to create cultivars that take the best attributes from indicas, sativas and mother and father plants to quell anxiety for the masses, much in the vein of benzo-based pharmaceuticals working for most people experiencing panic or the feeling of being anxious.

When it’s that intricate, often you’ll wind up with a hybrid that either leans toward sativa or indica. Experiment with different strains that have different attributes until you find a few that work well for you. And even if the budtenders at your local dispensaries aren’t mind and soul readers, they can point you in directions you may otherwise not have taken, like a sativa heavy hybrid for anxiety that might just do the trick.

No, Drug-Sniffing Dogs Can’t Distinguish Between Marijuana And Hemp

Human technology and drug-sniffing canines have hamstrung prosecutors’ ability to pursue marijuana convictions.

In the rush to legalize hemp production across the country, states didn’t anticipate the effect it’d have on prosecuting marijuana convictions. Texas, Florida, and Ohio have struggled whether they accidentally decriminalized cannabis, as limited technology prohibits their ability to quickly and effectively identify between cannabis and hemp flower. This is why various state and county prosecutors in these states have announced they’ll no longer pursue low-level marijuana possession cases.

But humans aren’t the only ones unable to differentiate between marijuana and hemp. Drug-sniffing dogs have also struggled to find their roles following the new laws. Not only are marijuana and hemp plants visually similar, they also produce comparable smells. This proves difficult for dogs, as they can’t distinguish between the two plants, eliminating the use of “probable cause” for extensive drug searches.

As a result, the Ohio Highway Patrol and the Columbus Division of Police told the The Columbus Dispatch they are hereby suspending marijuana-detection training for drug-sniffing canines. This should eliminate any complications of “probable cause” for prosecutors pursuing drug convictions outside of marijuana.

But the problem still remains for current dogs, as police can’t train them to unlearn reacting to a drug once it’s become a developed behavior. Because these canines deliver the same reactions when detecting any drug—regardless if it’s cocaine or cannabis—Highway Patrol “are evaluating what impact the hemp legislation may have” on the 31 active narcotic-detection canines.

“It’s very problematic for probable cause,” Dan Sabol, a Columbus criminal-defense lawyer, told the Dispatch.

“From a practical standpoint, [marijuana] is the vast majority of hits,” he added. “That’s the most commonly used drug of abuse—or maybe not of ‘abuse,’ depending on the circumstances now.”

A similar pattern has evolved in New York, where state police revealed earlier this year they too have stopped training dogs to detect marijuana. They did so in anticipation of the state’s eventual decriminalization of marijuana in June. In states like Colorado and Oregon, legalization has forced these drug-sniffing canines to retire early. Maybe Fido can earn a CBD dog treat for all the good work he’s done.

Pizza Or Cereal: Which Is The Healthier Breakfast Option? A Nutritionist Weighs In

Pizza Or Cereal: Which Is The Healthier Breakfast Option? A Nutritionist Weighs In

A New York nutritionist says while pizza is a healthier breakfast alternative to cereal, it’s not that simple.

Pizza is an infamous breakfast option, associated with days where you wake up late, walk through your home like a zombie and pull out a slice straight out of the fridge. This delicious breakfast — a staple of feeling lazy or hangover — is, according to one expert, a healthier option than your average bowl of cereal.

While that opinion might be a little bit controversial, New York-based nutritionist Chelsey Amer says that breakfast cereals tend to be “nutritionally bleak.” She admits that while pizza isn’t the healthiest of options it contains less sugar and packs a lot of calories and carbs, maybe even a vegetable or two, making it a filling breakfast that leaves you ready to take on the day.

“You may be surprised to find out that an average slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain nearly the same amount of calories,” Amer said to The Daily Meal. “However, pizza packs a much larger protein punch, which will keep you full and boost satiety throughout the morning.”

While the word “healthy” is a tricky one in this scenario (you really can’t call a slice of pepperoni and cheese healthy) cereals are not the super breakfast food that people paint them to be, at least, not the sugary ones. These kinds are made from super processed grains, lead to sugar crashes and open the door for more sweets and calories to be consumed through the day.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on is that both of these options make for a pretty delicious yet unhealthy breakfast. If you’re interested in staying fit, you might want to try other cereals. If you really want to foster your pizza for breakfast habit try out other kinds with different breads and toppings. They might not be as good but at least you’ll fulfill your craving. Sort of.

Study: Teen Vaping Leads To Subsequent Marijuana Use

Study: Teen Vaping Leads To Subsequent Marijuana Use

Young people who vape are more likely to consume cannabis, as well as engage in other addictive behaviors, according to a new study.

Replacing cigarettes with vaping nicotine was supposed to disrupt the addictive and destructive patterns caused by mass tobacco consumption. But early research into the Juuling and e-cigarette phenomenon indicates that young people who vape are more likely to consume cannabis, as well as engage in other addictive behaviors. According to a study published Monday in the JAMA Pediatrics, ingesting nicotine at an early age interrupts brain development in adolescents and should be discouraged.

“We can’t think of e-cigarettes as a less-harmful alternative to cigarettes with adolescents,” Dr. Nicholas Chadi, lead author of the study, told CNN. He added that, “just like cigarettes, e-cigarettes increase your risk of using marijuana, and marijuana, we know, has several implications and negative health consequences in adolescents.”

Published in the JAMA Pediatrics journal, Chadi and his team analyzed over 20 previous studies that examined the relationship between teenage vaping and cannabis use. They found consuming nicotine at an early age led someone to be 3.5 times more likely to later smoke marijuana. That relationship was stronger amongst those aged 17 years and younger, compared to those between 18 to 24. Chadi says this is because “a younger brain is more vulnerable to the effects of substances in general.”

He added that, “you would expect that there would be a higher risk of them using marijuana, versus an older adolescent or young adult who might have a more developed brain and might not be as sensitive to the negative effects of nicotine.”

Chadi emphasized this meta-analysis focused on correlation, not causation. This research does not prove early-age vaping leads to teenage marijuana use. But where there’s smoke, there’s fire. “A reasonable hypothesis is that e-cigarette use might cause at least a part of that increased risk of using marijuana,” Chadi said.

In addition, this is not the first research to pinpoint such a correlation. A 2018 Pediatrics study found that teenagers vaping and smoking hookah were up to four times more likely to consume marijuana.

“The association between tobacco use and subsequent marijuana use across adolescence extends to multiple tobacco products,” the researchers of the study concluded.

Though previous research indicates that marijuana legalization discourages teenage use, adolescent cannabis consumption can lead to later problems, including adult memory loss and depression.

Jonas Brothers reveal early bullying

Via USA Today:

The chart-topping trio shared how hard their journey from child musicians to Teen Choice Decade Award recipients was during Sunday’s broadcast.

The eldest of the musical trio, Kevin, said he was bullied in middle school because he sported frosted tips.

“I started to hate to go to school, I started to hate my hair, I started to hate myself,” he recalled of the torment, revealing the crude nickname classmates called him. “And, at the same time, I went on my very first acting audition… and then they hired me because they liked my frosted tips.”

“The same haircut … was what started my actual career,” the 31-year-old added, “and it’s also the reason I’m standing on this stage receiving this award today.”

Nick, 26, said he was also targeted in school, though his adversaries were teachers, not students. Early Broadway success earned him “a bit harsher treatment than everyone else,” he said.

“And I still remember one birthday in particular,” Nick continued, “I was quite young, I was very excited, as well all get on our birthdays (and) my teachers yelled at me saying, ‘Stop drawing attention to yourself.’ I had enough self-doubt as it was, I didn’t need to be told how little I really was. But if I had stopped what I was doing … I wouldn’t be here today receiving this award.”

Nick told the Fox broadcast’s young viewers that “those things that you feel like you’re singled out about, you’re bullied about that define you in your teen years can become the thing that make you special: it’s your gift, it’s your power.”

“Embrace those things,” Joe, 29, encouraged.

Caitlyn Jenner Accidentally Posts Baby Photo of Kendall Jenner on Kylie Jenner’s 22nd Birthday

Via People:

Kylie Jenner was flooded with happy birthday messages as she turned 22 on Saturday — but one in particular caught the Internet’s attention.

While celebrating her youngest daughter’s big day, Caitlyn Jenner accidentally posted a picture of herself from back in the day with Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner, 23, instead.

“Life was so simple back then, but life is so good today,” Caitlyn, 69, captioned the post. “Happy birthday to my little baby @kyliejenner.”

Seemingly realizing the mistake, Caitlyn then deleted the post (captured by Here for the Tea on Instagram) and replaced it with two photos of her with Kendall and Kylie as young girls.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_MlJgF1JX/

“Happy birthday @kyliejenner,” she wrote.

Fans were quick to point out the switch, playfully teasing Caitlyn for the mix-up.

“Changed that picture real quick,” one commented.

“Ahhh pics with them both,” commented another. “Better not to risk it!”

“Glad you got the right daughter this time, sis,” added another.

My First Time At A Weed Dab Bar Experience

It was way more appealing to me than anything blow torch operated, and seemed no different than a bong or hookah if we’re being real.

The Fresh Toast – Being curious, I had to go – here is my first time at a weed dab bar experience.

When you’ve never done a dab, you just don’t grasp its power and allure. This method of consumption involves heating up wax, butter, shatter, and certain types of hash to a specific temperature, and clearing the vapor as deeply as you can for maximum effect. It’s growing in popularity mainly due to it’s anecdotally fast relief time from pain and other medical concerns. It also has a clean, smokeless taste that’s similar to the smell of fresh flower when the quality is supreme.

Concentrates taste great in pens on-the-go, but being super honest leads one to admit that the optics of sucking them down in the typical bong-like “rig” method with a blow torch doesn’t do many favors for cannabis normalization. It’s intimidating for a reason — to the cannabis layperson, it looks eerily similar to street drugs.

Between this less-than-societally acceptable imagery and the costs and safety associated with at-home dabbing, it’s just not on the same level of popularity and acceptance as it is in many recreationally legal cannabis states, like California. Using concentrates isn’t just normal in Cali, it’s a natural progression of what must be a pretty high THC tolerance for many medical patients at this point.

For this and many other very chill reasons, San Francisco is among the first cities to allow consumption lounges, many of which allow safe, precision dabs in a clean and private space. It was this curiosity that led me to Barbary Coast Dispensary in the Civic Center/SoMa neighborhood, where trying a dab in a social setting— and after having access to the best products— is a real thing.

Buyer Kit Hall set me up with some of the highest quality 710 Labs Do-si-dos ice water hash to sample in their functionally chic glassware, equipped with an electronically controlled skillet to melt all types of concentrates at the perfect temp. It was way more appealing to me than anything blow torch operated, and seemed no different than a bong or hookah if we’re being real. After cleaning off the mouthpiece with alcohol, I was ready to try a hit. This being only my second dab ever, we kept the total to under an estimated 10mg of THC, but some doses go up to 100mg.

I can’t speak to the recreational effects of such a dab, as it was strong, but I needed it for a medical purpose, and it performed nearly instantly on some severe menstrual pain. The taste was exceptional, like a distilled version of cannabis. I’ve tried oils in pens and joints before, but when you taste an electronic dab with such a clean oil as 710‘s, it was like pure terpene and cannabis flavor, not unlike the highest quality buds on your first spark.

All of this is found right in the shop, which was expanded to include the dab bar as California warmed up to full legalization over its first eight months. Barbary Coast also has an adjacent smoking lounge with full combustion options, so you don’t have to stick to vapes and dabs like many other lounges. If you’re curious about dabbing or looking for a safe place to try it, a reputable dispensary is probably a lot safer than torching in someone’s garage.

Marijuana Too Moist? Here’s How You Can Dry It

Marijuana Too Moist? Here’s How You Can Dry It

From THC levels to smokeability to looking like the prize winner you want to be toking, properly dried weed can make or break a bag.

One of the most important steps to a great bag of weed is the curing process. First, the buds are hung to dry, then they’re trimmed and the buds are put into airtight jars that are opened and closed according to the grower’s cure schedule. It’s an imperative set of actions towards a final product to be proud of.

From THC levels to smokeability and looking like the blue ribbon winner you want to be toking, properly dried weed can make or break a bag. Luckily, if you got some too fresh bud that’s still packed with moisture you can finish out the drying process yourself. Just be aware that you likely didn’t get what you paid for to begin with, as wet weed is heavier.

Before going and drying out your cannabis, be sure you’re not mistaking extremely sticky buds for yet too much wet. Sticky icky was likely cured perfectly, it’s just going to, naturally, stick to your fingers and feel suspiciously damp. But as long as it doesn’t squish when lightly squeezed, leave the sticky alone.

If it’s just a little too moist, putting the buds in a paper bag and then closing it for a few hours could do the trick. If they’re a little more damp than that, rotate having the paper bag opened and closed every 8 hours or so until it crisps up to your standards.

Now if the weed truly was just harvested, the colors will be very vibrant and the plant will feel extremely humid from the inside out. If you’ve broken up a bud that’s wet through and through, it’s time to get your own cure on. Place the ripe nuggets into glass jars as stated above and also routinely open and close the jars.

Depending on just how wet the weed was, this could be a process that takes more than a day and more like a week or so. The smaller popcorn buds will dry faster and can thus be plucked for smoking before the real meaty ones are properly dried and cured.

Truly, genetics and taking care during the grow play major roles in quality cannabis, but if you don’t have a proper cure, it’s not going to be showtime for your buds. A perfect cure means easily ground, evenly smoked, delicious cannabis packed with terpenes and that shows off all the hard work that the breeders and growers put into it.
