“There’s nothing you can do to cure a viral illness,” notes Dr. Sterling Ransone, MD, a family physician in Deltaville, Virginia, and president-elect of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). “That huge wall of medications that you’ll see at the pharmacy are merely to control the symptoms you have from a cold.” But still, that can go a long way toward making you feel a little more human (and able to function normally) again....

“Even if makeup has an SPF label on the bottle, it is not enough to protect yourself,” says Dr. Zeichner. “To get the level of protection you need to apply enough of the product you need about a quarter-sized dollop to deposit enough sunscreen. Applying that much makeup would leave the face looking caked-on, so most people are not using that much.” Since you’re likely not using that much SPF-infused makeup, what you’re applying has diluted SPF....

This time last week, the “Cookout” alliance had made Big Brother history. It was the first six-person majority alliance to make up the entirety of the endgame, and most importantly, it guaranteed the first Black winner in the mainline show’s history. And one cannot talk about the Cookout without talking about Tiffany Mitchell. The phlebotomist put her blood, sweat, and tears into her alliance, concocting a master plan that led to their success....

Perhaps the biggest surprise about Big Shot, which is like a Mighty Ducks/League of Their Own mashup and redemption tale, is that it’s not exactly a comedy, even though it has comedic elements. The show was co-created by David E. Kelley. (Yes, the same Kelley who brought Ally McBeal, Doogie Howser, The Practice, Big Little Lies and many other hit shows to the screen.) “It’s not Sesame Street and it’s not Breaking Bad....

Bless your continued journey.” Another fan wrote, “her song is timeless and could be your best if you didn’t have so many best songs,” referring to the 73-year-old musician’s song “Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)” from his 1993 album, River of Dreams....

Odenkirk and co-stars Rhea Seehorn and Patrick Fabian were taking a break in a joint space where the cast often hung out when the cameras weren’t rolling. “We were shooting a scene, we’d been shooting all day, and luckily I didn’t go back to my trailer,” he told The New York Times. “I went to play the Cubs game and ride my workout bike, and I just went down.” Odenkirk didn’t cite a brand of bike but the scenario is eerily similar to what played out on screen in the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That…, in which Carrie’s longtime beau and now-husband Mr....

And then you have the tea steepers, who love the ritual of brewing tea in hot water. They may prepare their tea with loose leaves or a pre-packaged tea bag, but the soothing feeling they get is all the same. Whether you prefer coffee or tea, both are filled with health benefits. The benefits of coffee It can benefit heart health “In a recent study, coffee was associated with a lower risk of heart failure compared to non-coffee drinkers—but only with the caffeinated coffee drinkers and not the decaf coffee drinkers,” says Debbie Petitpain, MS, RDN, Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics....

“I liked the fact that he was the opposite of what I generally am like, and so there was a little bit of joy in that,” Hanks tells Parade.com. “I remember Dexter Fletcher, who is an old friend of mine and directed our first two episodes, he said, ‘I really want to see you be the bad guy with the smile.’ And I really took that to heart.” As Bluhdorn’s go-to guy, Barry was essentially a bean counter, who wanted to give audiences what he thought they wanted to see, rather than understanding that the vision that director Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler) had for the film in the long run would make more money....

During an interview with Vanity Fair, the 32-year-old star touched on many aspects of her life, including her grandmother Tippi Hedren’s history with Hitchcock. When Hedren’s was cast in his film, The Birds, her daughter, Griffith, was only four years old, but she seemingly wasn’t spared from the director’s torment. Johnson recalls that one Christmas, Hitchcock gifted Griffith a tiny model of her mother in a coffin, which Johnson called “alarming and dark and really, really sad for that little girl....

The 52-year-old father of three writes of the eclectic mix of musical introductions he experienced as a youngster—his mom cajoling him to drum onstage at their local jazz club and tagging along with his cousin to his first head-banging punk rock show. He reflects on performing through the U.S. and Europe as a teen before moving to Seattle, Wash., in the early ‘90s where he would find fairly quick and unsuspected acclaim with the history-making Kurt Cobain-fronted grunge group....

—Jonathan Klein, Chicago, Illinois Very much so. About 5 percent of the population is “tone deaf,” which means they cannot accurately detect differences in pitch (how high or low a note is). These people are unlikely to enjoy music with melodies (the string of single notes that you may hum) or harmonies (two or more notes played at the same time): It won’t make sense to them. But just because you can’t sing doesn’t mean you’re tone deaf....
