Hi, friends! Margaux filling in for Emily today. Tickled to be here. If you’re a parent, you might be in the thick of Maycember, that end-of-spring flurry of activities that requires SEAL-Team-Six-level logistics and planning: school concerts, graduations, sports tournaments, dance recitals, field trips, themed dress-up days, classroom parties, teacher conferences, summer child-care planning. (What…
In India, the mango is known as the “king of fruits.” The fruit, and its tree and leaves, are symbols of prosperity, good luck and love. There’s a lot to love nutritionally, too. Mangoes are rich in vitamin C and potassium. And they freeze well, making them a year-round smoothie staple. Here’s what to know…
Hello! I’m Catherine, a relationships reporter at The Times, and I’m filling in for my colleague Jancee Dunn this week — which has been an exciting one for those of us on the Well team. On Wednesday, we hosted the first-ever Well Festival in Brooklyn, which brought together some of the biggest names in health…
On a rainy Saturday last month, I sat down in a salon chair and made peace with the fact that I’d be there some six-plus hours. Such is the reality of a brunette desperate to have a bit of blonde fun. Finally, it was time for the blowout. I always ask for big, voluminous hair,…
It’s Met Gala time, also known as the most discussed, debated and otherwise dissected red carpet of the year. Former Vice President Kamala Harris was a surprise guest. She slipped into the party without walking the red carpet. But from Diana Ross to Bad Bunny, the arrivals this year have created a buzz. And many…
Happy Asparagus Month — known sometimes, to people who aren’t me, as “May.” The month officially kicked off this past weekend, when I laid eyes on the first purple-tipped local bunches at the farmers’ market. Despite the fact that currently I’m dining out for all my dinners (and many of my lunches) as an interim…
The video is just under two and a half minutes long. A slim man with close-cropped hair walks into a room, pulls a long black mamba — whose venom can kill within an hour — from a crate and allows it to bite his left arm. Immediately after, he lets a taipan from Papua New…
Over the weekend, a few girlfriends and I settled into a Glen Powell rom-com double feature: “Anyone but You” (an atrocious allocation of Columbia Pictures’ funds and my own time) and “Set It Up” (an ode to the form). In the latter, Powell and Zoey Deutch, who play two assistants repeatedly hamstrung by their abusive…
Gluten-free is the Kevin Bacon of the food world: We’re all within six degrees of separation from someone who avoids gluten. That’s why, as we approach graduation party, bridal shower, picnic and barbecue season, it’s good to have a really good gluten-free cake up your sleeve. Brian Levy’s gluten-free yellow sheet cake is built on…
Late yesterday, Sethuraman Panchanathan, whom President Trump hired to run the National Science Foundation five years ago, quit. He didn’t say why, but it was clear enough: Last weekend, Trump cut more than 400 active research awards from the N.S.F., and he is pressing Congress to halve the agency’s $9 billion budget. The Trump administration…
