Many Americans are rather obsessed with the idea of preserving their youth and beauty. With 1.1 million laser hair removal procedures performed throughout the U.S. during 2016, it's clear we're focused on maintaining our appearance. And in many cases, we're willing to go to great lengths for the sake of our looks. But according to a new study, our penchant for plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures may not merely be rooted in our own vanity. It could actually be tied to widespread age discrimination -- in other words, our systemic fear of aging. Plastic surgery is becoming more widely accepted, with more people willing to go under the knife (or needle). The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that U.S. residents spent more than $15 billion dollars on combined surgica...

In 2017, there were approximately 11.6 million youth participants (aged between six and 17 years) in fishing in the United States. Although there are a staggering number of people who may not want to admit how dire global warming might be, there's little doubt that we're starting to feel the effects. From increased instances of flooding to extended allergy seasons, scientists are quick to point out that it can all be traced back to climate change. And as ocean temperatures continue to rise, there's another consequence of our unwillingness to protect the planet: the practice of fishing may be in real trouble. So whether you're one of the 49 million Americans who participate in freshwater, saltwater, or fly fishing as a hobby during the average year or you contribute to (or benefit from) the...

American artists appear in 40% of art collections worldwide. Glass mosaics have been in use for ages. In fact, this work of art dates back more than 300 years before the birth of Christ. Few people would ever expect such a traditional piece of art to appear in the middle of the road. But that's exactly what Chicago artist, Jim Bachor, has done. He first became intrigued by the long lifespan and durability of mosaics after visiting Pompeii, which featured these works of art from more than 2,000 years ago. After learning how to create beautiful Mosaics from Italy, has used this superpower to fill potholes since 2013. Bachor has created a variety of mosaics, many of which feature comforting images like cats, foods, and flowers. He claims that the goal of his work is to put a smile on th...

Contrary to what you might think, the workplace can be rather dangerous for many of us. You don't have to be employed in a hazardous field to get hurt on the job, of course. And if you do slip and fall at work, you could be among the 5% of people who fracture a bone as a result. But these kinds of accidents aren't the only ways we can experience negative physical effects as a result of our employment. In fact, your job could be the very thing that's infringing on your self-esteem and your long-term health. According to recent data, roughly 50% of Americans say they're unsuccessful at losing weight because they lack self-discipline. But as one study revealed, failing to reach our weight loss goals may not be entirely because we're not dedicated enough. In some cases, it could be because ...

Dealing with sexual harassment at work is not uncommon and many employers have enforced strict dating policies regarding employee relationships in the past. But some top companies are flipping the script. While most companies ban employee relationships altogether, Airbnb, Facebook, and even Google have rolled out a new policy that's simultaneously strict and welcoming at once: now, coworkers get one chance to ask their coworker out on a date. "You can only ask another employee on a date once, and it can’t be someone in your chain of management, so not your boss or someone on your team," explained an Airbnb employee to MarketWatch. Should a coworker say no, this ensures that sexual harassment is avoided in the workplace. After all, more than 30% of cases presented to the EEOC we...

Off-roading can be a great hobby for the adventurous thrill-seekers out there this summer. However, taking your vehicle off road can be a hobby that's a bit more difficult on your car or truck than you might initially expect. Without the proper maintenance and care, going off road could actually seriously damage your car in some pretty expensive ways. Use these tips and tricks to get you ready for taking your vehicle off the beaten path while still keeping it running in good condition. Consider A New Vehicle If you're serious about getting into off-roading as a hobby and you're looking to trade in your current vehicle anyway, consider looking for a vehicle specially designed to go off road. Some of the most well-known options for off-road ready vehicles include more rough and rugged bran...

Since most households in the U.S. have at least one pet, a significant number of Americans are familiar with the joys of being a cat parent. But, of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows -- especially when it comes time to take your furry friend to the vet. It's estimated 80% of dogs and 70% cats show signs of dental disease by age three, leading to abscesses, loose teeth, and chronic pain. Not only do many felines have strong feelings about being locked in a carrier, but they also tend to hide their pain or discomfort, which makes it hard for owners to know whether there's reason for concern. But now, you might need only take a look in your kitty's litter box to assess whether it's time for a trip to the vet. Despite the fact that dumpsters are typically serviced at 60% or below f...

While the divorce rate seems to be slowing down, particularly among younger newlyweds who are waiting longer to tie the knot, that certainly doesn't mean that every marriage will end happily. In states like Tennessee, you'll have to wait anywhere between 60 and 90 days after drafting a divorce complaint before the legal dissolution of your marriage can take place. And if you share kids with your soon-to-be ex, you probably already know that a divorce can be even messier when children are involved. But while the immediate effects of divorce can be damaging enough, there's also evidence to suggest that divorce can have major long-term implications for children -- and that might include your child's pursuit of higher education. Most divorcing parents will focus their energy on developing a...
