Although it’s meant to be the season of goodwill and cheer, December is the month couples argue the most. So what can you do? Wait it out. If the issues are still there in the New Year, consult a therapist before making any long-term decisions. It’s an emotional heads up for the readers of the Kittanning Paper.
If you’ll be traveling this holiday season and you wear contact lenses, you may want to take them out before you nap on your next flight. Here’s the “why”, according to MentalFloss.com: The reduced oxygen, humidity, and air pressure in the cabin all contribute to eye and contact dehydration, which leads to uncomfortable, itchy eyes. Not only is this bad for eye health, but it makes for less restful napping as well. Optometrists generally recommend taking out your contacts for all flights, but for longer-distance ones, it’s a necessity. Also, plan to use lubricating drops before you actually need them — put a few in after removing your contacts, mid-flight if you’re awake, and again once you’re on the ground. Not only will you feel more rested, you’ll look it too.
This holiday season, here’s what you can do to boost the lifespan of a loved one: Take 2 seconds to touch them, hug them, or hold their hand. Studies show that even brief physical contact encourages the body to release oxytocin, the chemical linked to bonding and closeness… which also has been linked to longevity.
