As fun as travelling is, it is often also tiring, which is why, at the end of a journey, many of us cry out for a massage, relief and relaxation for tired bodies and tight muscles. While some will crave the therapeutic benefits of the serious sports variety, sybarites will doubtless prefer the sensuous aromatherapy version.

As the years go on, women's bodies change. Pregnancy, illness, the simple fact of aging — all of these factors can permanently impact a woman's comfort and satisfaction with her own body. Issues concerning the genitalia can be uncomfortable to talk about, especially when words like "surgery" or "procedure" are involved. For this reason, Acqua Blu Medical Spa now offers ThermiVa, a noninvasive treatment that can instantly address vulvovaginal issues and vastly improve a woman's quality of life.

Side by side in the bathroom of our apartment, an ex-girlfriend and I were making final preparations for a night out. I combed. She zhuzhed. We sprayed. I complained about a particularly unsightly pimple. She reached into her purse and palmed a slim Tiffany-blue tube, popped the cap, dabbed the pad of her ring finger at its end, and applied the dust-like film directly to my zit. Miraculously, it seemed to disappear. "There you go," she said, examining her handiwork in the mirror. "All covered up." I was 22 or 23, and it was the first time I'd worn makeup.

Self-service checkout lines have become more and more common.
Online consumers are accessing digital customer service and resolving their own issues without speaking to a live person. Chat features on e-commerce websites can often resolve customer issues as well.
Yet there are still those customers who want to speak with a live person via telephone, even if they have to push number after number and sit on hold.

 Brace yourself. Twitter's defining characteristic — its 140-character limit — may be on its way out. The company recently announced that it would begin testing 280-character tweets with select users. With this new feature, Twitter hopes you'll feel less frustrated because you won't have to cram or reduce your message. And perhaps you won't even have to send out multiple tweets to convey one idea. In short, Twitter believes 280 characters is the sweet spot.

An effective newborn skin care protocol has not been established. We aimed to evaluate the effects of moisturizing skin care, including using lotion and reducing routine bathing. Our hypothesis was that moisturizing skin care would improve skin barrier function. This randomized controlled trial included 227 healthy Asian newborns between 1 week and 3 months old.

 Mindfulness is not new. It originated with Eastern meditation practices around the art of "bringing one's complete attention to the present experience." Mindfulness is what makes us human — the capacity to be fully conscious and aware, or put another way, being present and aware of things happening in the moment. If, as adults, we thrive with mindfulness training, how much more do our students need mindfulness to grow socially and emotionally into healthy human beings?

Most learning and development professionals are great at building content focusing on the learner. We can also evaluate and test if this knowledge retrospectively. However, we don't have the data and insights to know that behavioral and skill development is being displayed in the work place.
Being able to measure learning transfer and look at impact rather than return on investment is key to influencing the future direction of learning and development processes and culture in your organization.
