“Penis facials” and more absurd trends that need to go away in 2019

Good riddance. No Images? Click here     It wouldn’t be the end of the year if we didn’t call out some of the most absurd health trends that popped up over the past 12 months. Reporter Locke Hughes broke them down and explored whether they have any real benefits. (Good riddance to “penis facials” and appetite-suppressing lollipops.) I hope 2019 is the year we get back to basics. (Although goat yoga does sound like an experience, at the very least.) If you’ve tried a new way to improve your mind and body this year — and it’s actually worked — let me know. —Lindsay You oughta know Ever wake up in the middle of the night with your PJs feeling a little damp? Don’t sweat it. There are a few explanations for why this is happening. Reporter Nicole Pajer asked experts to tell all. Here’s what you need to know: Your mattress could be to blame. Some materials make you hotter than others. The same goes for your sleep environment, including the pajamas you wear and the sheets you use. You had a nightcap. That glass of wine may have helped you drift off initially, but it could also be the reason you wake up perspiring more than usual. You could be fighting off a cold. Sweaty AND sick? Ugh. MORE REASONS YOU SWEAT IN YOUR SLEEP   A minute and change Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our "A Minute And Change" series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently. This week’s tip comes from Eva Chen, head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, on the small email hack she uses to get control of her inbox. She told The Cut: Think about the emails you send in any given day. You’re probably responding to the same ten topics. For example, someone will invite me to an event and I’ll be out of town, so my response is, “I’m sorry, I can’t make it. I’m out of town.” Instead of typing that out, I have it saved as a signature. So basically I have ten signatures saved on my email like, “Sorry I’m out of town I can’t make it,” “I’ll be there,” “CCing my admin to set up a meeting,” etc. It makes a big difference. Crushing on this 'Gram Before you go... Just a heads up that the Good Life email will be going on a little vacation starting next week. We’ll be back in 2019 with more tips on how to be healthier, happier and more productive. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday (anyone else excited this year is coming to an end?). See you soon!
