Brides
A little R&R is good, but being able to unwind in luxury with your partner is even better. And there's no better way to make that happen than by booking a couples spa package for Valentine's Day 2019.
Couples massages and spa retreats are the perfect place for you and your bae to amp up the romance, while also working in a much-needed dose of self-care. Pamper yourselves with hot stones, deep tissue massages, and private pools for a unique Valentine's Day date that won't leave you with a major wine hangover the next morning (it is on a Thursday this year, after all).

The Dirt
One can argue that humans have purposefully immersed themselves in forests in order to revitalize their spiritual, mental, and physical health for thousands of years. But in 1982, Tomohide Akiyama, director of Japan's forestry agency, put a name to this, coining the term shinrin yoku, which can be translated as forest bathing. Since then, interest in the practice has skyrocketed among both the public and scientific researchers. And last year, forest bathing may have hit a tipping point, with four books published on this natural therapeutic approach. Forest bathing seems poised to go global, as interest expands beyond Japan into the rest of Asia and throughout the West.

Harvard Business Review
A preponderance of evidence shows that the feeling of having enough time — "time affluence" — is now at a record low in the United States. When Harvard Business Review analyzed a survey of 2.5 million Americans by the Gallup Organization, they found that 80 percent of respondents did not have the time to do all they wanted to each day. This situation is so severe it could even be described as a "famine" — a collective cultural failure to effectively manage our most precious resource: time.

Skin aging is a complex biological process induced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors which is characterized by clinical and cellular changes, especially dermal fibroblasts. It is possible that, some procedures, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), could decelerate this process. To test this hypothesis, this study evaluated the in vitro LLLT on dermal fibroblast cell line (HFF-1) with premature senescence H2O2-induced. HFF-1 cells were cultured in standardized conditions, and initially H2O2 exposed at different concentrations.
