Experts Say THIS Is The Ugliest Color In The World
When choosing paint colors for your home, you’ll encounter a whole bunch of earthy tones that warm up a room and create a sense of drama.
But opaque couché — also known by its technical name, Pantone 448 C — is too much drama for its own good.
A team of Australian researchers named Pantone 448 C the ugliest color in the world after surveying some 1,000 people over seven separate studies in 2012. Respondents described the “sewage-tinted” color as “tar,” “dirty” and “death,” according to Brisbane Times. We can’t help but agree.
WARNING: The color pictured below may cause serious nausea, panic or instinctive recoil. View at your own risk.
5 Scientific Reasons You Should Go On Vacation
Americans ditched roughly half their earned vacation days in 2014. We get it: You’re busy. But skipping vacations comes at a steep cost. If you’re not taking every minute of leave you’re due, it’s time for a refresher on the health benefits of R&R.
Slimmer Waist
Did you know that women who spend more time engaged in pleasurable leisure activities, including regular vacations, don’t just feel better, they also boast a healthier physique? Those who log the most downtime have a lower body mass index and waist circumference — two key predictors of overall health.
Longer Life
Women who take the fewest vacations (once every six years or less) are nearly eight times likelier to have a heart attack or die of heart disease than those who enjoy two or more getaways annually.
Less Stress
The rejuvenating effects of vacations may last longer than originally thought. After taking time off from work, vacationers had fewer stress-related physical complaints such as headaches, backaches, and heart sensations (palpitations) — and were still feeling better five weeks later.
Steamier Love Life
Eighty percent of people who vacation every year report that romance is alive in their relationship, compared with 56 percent of those who don’t take time off. Why it matters: Sex may deliver many health benefits, from a lower risk of colds to better brain function.
Better Sleep
You won’t just sleep well on vacation — you’ll also rest better after you get home. Vacations can help put a stop to sleep-disrupting habits, like doing work or staring at a backlit screen just before bed. A little time away can be effective for hitting reset on so many levels.
How To Stop Sweating While You Sleep
In the middle of the summer, we’re willing to do anything to cool down. We switch up our beauty routine and wear the right clothes, but we still wake up sweating in the middle of the night.
The unlikely culprit of our rising internal temperature? Our sheets.
Turns out, sheets made with synthetic materials like polyester blend actually trap heat (making us hotter) and make it harder to fall asleep.
That’s why it’s important—especially in the coming months—to buy natural fabrics, like 100 percent cotton, which is sweat-wicking and the most breathable option.
It’s a simple swap, and the payoff is huge.
The Duchess Of Cambridge Is Having The Best Hair Day Ever
The Duchess of Cambridge’s hair is a hotly monitored topic by royal enthusiasts the world over. Whether it’s up, down, with bangs or in a pony, everyone has something to say about her locks.
So we couldn’t help but notice something when the media phenomenon formerly known as Kate Middleton attended the 40th anniversary dinner for SportsAid, a charity that supports young athletes, in London Wednesday night.
Whoa.
Her hair, with its loose wave, perfect length and precise part, was looking especially fantastic. It was, dare we say, a royal slam dunk.
As if the delightful ‘do weren’t enough, the duchess looked radiant in a stunning, form-fitting royal blue Roland Mouret gown with shoulder cut-outs that’s still available in a few sizes and is on sale (!) on the designer’s website.
