Sizing Aside: Are You Wearing The Right Bra For Your Breast Shape?âBreasts come in all shapes and sizesâ is a common truism, so why do they get reduced down to a band size and a cup size? If you find bras uncomfortable by default, chances are itâs never been the right fit for your shape, even if itâs the right size. As it happens, different kinds of bra can be better (or worse) for different breast shapes. |

Unlock Your Flexibility With These 4 New Stretches
People often stick to the same few stretches (such as the forwards bend, depicted in the thumbnail), which may limit flexibility progress, especially as the most common stretches often miss deeper, harder-to-reach areas.
So, here are some new (well, probably new to most people, at least) stretches that can get things moving in different directions:

The Stem Cell Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Skin
Of course, every anti-aging remedy claims to be an astonishing breakthrough, but regular 10almonds readers will know we only say something is if it actually is.
To understand this one, itâs important to understand how this breakthrough got discovered.
Professor Peter Kenneth Smith, MB, BS, B.Med Sci, FRACP, PhD, is a globally recognised allergist and immunologist, who has contributed significantly to the field, particularly through his work at Great Ormond Street Hospital, University College London, and Queensland Allergy Services. He has over 150 peer-reviewed publications to his name, and numerous international awards and recognitions.
Over the past decade, his research has been focused on finding a way to harness stem cells and deliver them in a high enough dosage to have a significant effect on the skin. This was especially difficult, because human stem cells in vitro rapidly deteriorate when exposed to air, light, or temperature changes, so it was necessary to find a way to either stabilize human stem cells, or find/create a stable formula using stem cells that are compatible with human skin.
Such research is very unglamorous and involves a lot of trial and error, but eventually he and his team created a stable formula using the stem cells of an unusually long-lived and self-regenerative tree, which contains unique growth and epigenetic factors that improve your skin's renewal processes at the cellular level.
Thereâs a lot more to the science of it (itâs quite cool and works in several different ways at once), but we only have so much room here, so weâll let you read the rest on their website!
In short: this isnât something youâll find in your local beauty store; this is the product of a lot of cutting edge lab research to create something genuinely new (and effective),

One-Minute Book Review
The Magic Of Mindful Self-Awareness: How To Stop Overthinking, Clear Your Mind, and Be Happy (Almost) All the Time â by Matt Tenny
As the author is not a Dr. Matt Tenny, you may wonder his qualifications. In this case, the answer is summed up in the title of the first part of the book, âHow I discovered unconditional happiness on my journey from prisoner to monk to social entrepreneurâ. In other words, this oneâs about personal experience of changing his life considerably.
Part two, however, is where the actual practical content starts, with such topics as:
How to be free from your thoughts so you can stop overthinking and enjoy the present moment
How to clear your mind and make the practice of self-awareness (almost) effortless
How to transform mundane activities into magical moments and be happy 95% of the time
You may be wondering about the other 5%; i.e. will this not work for some things? The answer is rather that sometimes we will experience emotions that are considered negative, and thatâs ok. It need not be much of the time, but if we didnât experience them at all, weâd just normalize a new set point and consider the least enjoyable 5% of that to be negative.
And indeed, part three is âhow to be at peace during the 5% of life that is truly painful, and live a deeply meaningful lifeâ.
Which, honestly, is a very important life skill, and this alone is worth the price of the book if you donât already have this skill (and if you do, then condolences for however you got it, but congratulations on having it).
The style is quite personal and direct, andâunlike that of a lot of CEO-monk typesâsurprisingly down-to-earth and (actually!) mindfully self-aware.
Bottom line: if youâd like to be at peace in life with more practical advice than just âpractice some mindfulness meditationâ, then this book could be just the turning point you need.
