“Unlike curable forms of breast cancer, mBC treatment is a marathon that never ends. You need to feel like you can trust your care team.” Q: How did you tell your family and friends about your mBC diagnosis? A: I broke the news to my mother—a breast cancer survivor—and my two teenage daughters in person. It was one of the hardest things I’d ever done, especially because I wanted to remain optimistic for them. After telling my immediate family, I posted online to share the news with others. Social media is a great platform to communicate with friends or distant relatives without having to have deeply personal conversations about your illness. Q: What advice would you give other patients on how to learn and interpret the language of mBC? A:…

GH HOME CARE LAB DIRECTOR @fortecarolyn Q I just had low-loop carpet installed in my den. Any tips for vacuuming it? — PEGGY K. A: Good choice! I have the same type of carpet in my family room, and the tightly packed loops stand up well to heavy traffic. To keep this carpet style from fuzzing, it’s best to vacuum it with suction only—that means skipping the rotating brush. Unlike cut-pile carpets, which need the brush’s agitation for deep cleaning, loop carpets have a dense, compact construction, so very little dirt can get into them. And using the rotating brush could cause the loops to unravel or fray. If you have an upright vacuum: Switch off the brush roll and raise the nozzle to a height that skims the carpet’s…

We all must have missed this chapter in the parenting manual. You know, the one that tells us how to help our children understand and deal with a sudden pandemic, social isolation, school on a screen, exposure to upsetting news and images of racial injustice and protests, and political upheaval — not to mention having to stay away from Grandma and Grandpa for the time being. Welcome to 2020, with parents and kids alike scrambling to adapt to a world in which the ground seems to be constantly shifting. Seriously, what do you do when your 8-year-old tries to construct a ladder so he can climb over the fence to escape quarantine, as one mom told us her son did? And how, as one dad asked on social media, do…

STAY TUNED IN A work video call is no time to multitask. Pay attention and tell your family you can’t be disturbed. If kids interrupt, apologize and hop back on quickly.

1. FOR FACE SKIN TINTS WHAT’S NOW: Fall and winter usually mean heavier makeup, but not this season. Cosmetics for face, eyes and cheeks now come in sheer, skincare-esque textures like serums, lotions and creams, imparting an instant glow thanks to their softening effects. HERE’S HOW: Blend in tints using fingers to help them meld with skin. 2. FOR HAIR SOFT SPIRALS WHAT’S NOW: The current crowning glory of head-turning styles: lush, bouncy curls. HERE’S HOW: Enhance the fullness of natural coils by working a rich curl-boosting butter through damp hair, then air-drying or diffusing. Create voluminous spirals by curling small sections of hair using a ¾-inch curling iron, letting strands cool, then raking through and fluffing with your fingers. 3. FOR EYES GRAPHIC EYELINER WHAT’S NOW: Give your go-to…

My 17-year-old son, Emerson, was born with a chromosome abnormality and only has some language. Still, when he was in elementary school, a lot of the kids who came to our door at Halloween seemed to know him. They’d say, “Hey, Emerson! Hey, buddy!” When I asked the children how they’d met him, they told me they were part of a program at school that paired typical students with ones who had special needs to sit together at lunch. I was blown away. When he was younger, Emerson was hyperactive and had a lot of trouble transitioning from one activity to another, so he’d get very frustrated. As he got older and matured, he calmed down a lot, but sometimes he still gets anxious. A lot of kids with special…

As all parents of adolescents know, a certain amount of prickliness, a need for privacy and even poor judgment are baked into this phase of life. Add limited contact with friends, too much time with you (sorry!) and canceled sports, parties and clubs, and all this change can put an already vulnerable kid on shaky ground. If you see signs like the ones below only occasionally, they’re probably normal reactions. But if your support isn’t helping, or you notice these symptoms frequently or continuously for two weeks or more, don’t wait to take action, says Glenn Saxe, M.D., a professor at NYU’s School of Medicine specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. Ask your child’s doctor or school counselor for a referral to a mental health professional. Major changes in appetite…

Your dog may have basic commands like “Sit,” “Stay” and “Come” down pat, but learning a new skill can improve their mental agility—and their connection with their favorite human (you), says Carl Peterson, CEO of the in-home dog training company BarkBusters.com. “Education teaches your dog behaviors that keep them safe and trouble-free, but sometimes learning the process can feel too rigid,” Peterson says. “Trick training can be a fun break for both trainer and dog.” Trick training can also channel energy to make an excitable or skittish dog calmer and more relaxed. And once your dog gets used to following directions and learning commands, you will be able to get their attention more easily in general. Active tricks like these from Peterson and Khara Schuetzner, 2020 chair of the Association…

Wake up your face in 30 seconds. The smallest steps in your routine can make a big difference in how vibrant your face looks—even when you’re not wearing makeup. Case in point: using an eyelash curler to open up your eyes. “Curled lashes can make eyes look more youthful and awake,” says Jessie Powers, a makeup artist in Portland, OR. For long-lasting bend, clamp the curler at the base of your lashes, holding for 15 seconds on each eye. APPLY SPF STRATEGICALLY. Experts agree that wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen is the number one way you can prevent signs of skin aging. But the eye area is most likely to be missed. “Eyelid and undereye skin is the thinnest on the body, so sun damage shows up quickly…

• Cut down on dirt before you do the job Utilizing a doormat—both on the outside and inside of every entrance to your home — can cut down on all the grime that your shoes are picking up (and bringing in) every day. Vacuuming doormats regularly on both sides will help to keep them clean. And be sure to dust your room before you vacuum—dusting actually pushes dust and dirt to the ground, which you’ll want to vacuum up. • Time and Technique The sheer power of a vacuum can make you think that the faster and more aggressively you handle it, the better of a job it does—not true! Work your vacuum in a thoughtful, methodical speed, and in both directions—north and south then east and west, to ensure…

GH Registered Dietitian Nutritionist @stefanisassos If the word “fiber” gives you visions of prunes and chalky mix-ins, you’re not alone. But don’t forget that oats, bran, beans, berries and even avocado and popcorn are loaded with the nutrient too. Dietary fiber is a component of plants and minimally processed carbs that passes through your gastrointestinal tract intact, which helps keep your digestive tract working smoothly. But tons of scientific evidence suggests that it’s also a powerful aid to overall health. In fact, recent research found that folks who ate the most fiber-rich diets were 80% more likely to have long and healthy lives compared to those who ate the least. So don’t wait to fill up on fiber—here are even more of its many benefits. ✓ LOWERS HEART DISEASE RISK…
