You can avoid caffeine, get plenty of exercise and drink a gallon of chamomile tea every night, but short of paying off your student loans, there isn’t much that will make you sleep more soundly than finding the right mattress. So, why is it that many of us spend so much time suffering in sleepless silence when we know the only tossing and turning we should be doing entails shoving the wrong mattress out of our lives?

Take a look at the 2020 Life's Victories microsite.

Western Union partnered with Orlando Sentinel and Studio 1847 to educate vulnerable communities on how to recognize a potential scam.

Fort Lauderdale's famous canals have earned it the moniker of "The Venice of America." Year-round, on any given morning, you can see the fortunate who get to live and visit here out on their paddleboards, jet skis, yachts and whalers. Then there is the city's Spring Break alter ego -- Fort Liquordale--which is built on a reputation of bikinis, bleach blond hair, buff bods and a whole lot of partying, most likely due to the 1960s coming-of-age film Where the Boys Are. When I moved here nearly seven years ago, it was the latter I had imagined. However, what I discovered was a city with a rich history, a strong connection to the water and a growing arts and tech community.

She’s currently working for X-Cell on New York Presbyterian’s Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, a Nontraditional Employment for Women (NEW) Signature Project managed by Turner Construction Company.

Herbs like rosemary, basil and cilantro not only add flavor and color to some of our favorite dishes but are easy to grow indoors. They thrive in containers, grow fast and typically require little more than adequate exposure to sunlight and water.

In many homes, the family dinner has been replaced with quick bites on the way to soccer practice or individual meals eaten in separate rooms in front of a screen. Sometimes, it might feel impossible to get everyone around the same table at the same time (and without their devices), but it’s never too late to start taking advantage of this valuable tradition.

Ray LaMontagne croons in raspy echoes over dreamy drumbeats and electric guitar along with haunting background vocals on Ouroboros. His sixth album travels even further into the expansive, introspective psychedelic universe of the 70s than 2014’s Supernova. It was 2004’s title track “Trouble” that put LaMontagne on my radar. He followed up with 2008’s Gossip in the Grain and 2010’s God Willin’ the Creek Don’t Rise. The albums were acoustic-guitar-harmonica-laden American folk rock, giving us a

There are many restaurants in the breakfast game, and a new player is poised to rise above the others. Rise Biscuits & Donuts has roots in North Carolina, and new locations are popping up from Austin, Texas to South Florida. The waitstaff-free, quickserve style of fresh made breakfast and lunch items promises a delicious future filled with fuss-free mornings and afternoons.

Some of us bore witness to the emergence of New Order in mid-80s dance clubs. Some of us (like this writer) were born the year “Blue Monday” was released to become the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time. For the latter, we might have been introduced in a backward kind of way by unwittingly bearing witness to the indisputable influence of New Order through bands from Radiohead to LCD Soundsystem to Santigold and La Roux (whose vocals appear on three tracks from Music Complete, the band’s

Formula E founder Alejandro Agag, a Spanish businessman and former politician, set out to prove the potential of electric vehicles and sustained mobility by launching the FIA Formula E Championship in Beijing four years ago. Now the series is hosted in 10 cities spanning five continents, including Hong Kong, Paris, Rome and New York.

Lake Worth gallerist and artist Jacques de Beaufort pays homage to 42 artist/musician/creative friends in the portrait series Deep Inside the Man Cave. The series was sparked by the offer of a friend to do a portrait of Beaufort himself. After having spent several years showing the work of others in his former gallery space UNIT1, he felt it was time to start creating again and found inspiration in the creative people with whom he spends much of his time. The series celebrates the Lake Worth ar

Synesthetes experience a neurological phenomena in which stimulation of one sense triggers the simultaneous experience of another. Chromesthesia is a kind of synesthesia where one experiences sounds as colors or colors as sounds. If you’re in Miami during the first week of November, you may be able to know what this feels like when NEWT takes over the Intercontinental Miami building with a public art project integrating light, color, and sound. From several vantage points, people will be able t

Parents are now raising the first generation who will not know a world without the internet or social media. Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives, but we are still learning about what that means for humans on a physical, emotional, and social level.
