1045a- 7 IN 10 OF US STRESS OUT OVER PACKING FOR A TRIP
Travel can be stressful, but packing shouldn’t be — after all it’s one of the things we get to do in anticipation of the trip. But apparently I’m a near loner in this thought because a survey of adults finds 70 percent are stressed out by packing for a trip. The survey found packing to be more stressful than the actual travel.
1115a-THIS IS HOW MANY COUPLES SURVIVE AN AFFAIR _ While why men cheat and why women cheat tend to differ, there’s no denying that infidelity is not uncommon for both sexes. We often talk about why and how many people cheat — and a survey found that 20 percent of married men and 13 percent of married women had admitted to cheating. But how many survive the affair is a less often discussed. A survey (by Health Testing Centers) offered some answers. The survey polled 441 people who admitted to cheating while in a committed relationship, and found that more than half (54.5%) broke up immediately after the truth came out. Another 30 percent tried to stay together but broke up eventually, and only 15.6 percent survived this break of trust. Interestingly enough, the statistics surrounding whether or not people decided to stay together varied significantly based on their relationship status. Almost a quarter (23.6%) of married couples decided to try to work things out, versus only 13.6% of people who were in a committed partnership. There are also gender disparities, as women were almost twice as likely to say they were still with their partner following a confession of infidelity. And the nature of the affair also played a role, considering that 19.7 percent of couples chose to stay together after a one-night stand, versus only 12.7 percent of couples who found out their partner had engaged in a long-term affair. Among those who decided to not break up immediately, 61 percent of cheaters said their partner implemented rules and consequences as a result of the affair. The majority (55.7%) said that they allowed their partner to look through their phone. Other common regulations included avoiding certain friends, limitations on going out, letting their partner access their social media, and withholding sex.

145p-CURB APPEAL
If your curb lacks appeal, chances are, so do you, new research suggests. A recent survey reveals seven in 10 adults say the exterior of a person’s home influences their level of attraction to them. And 86 percent equate being able to take care of the front and back yard with a potential partner’s caring ability.

215p-LONELY LIFE
Loneliness can affect anyone at any age, but a new study finds it typically gets worse as people grow older. Researchers from Northwestern University mapped out trends across the average person’s lifespan and found that feelings of loneliness are very common during young adulthood before dropping off during middle age. However, loneliness ramps back up to high levels during old age.

245p-GREEN FLAGS
We know about watching out for red flags (like abusing waitstaff) that tell us someone we are on a date with is not for us. But you should also look out for green flags – those signs that show a date might turn into something serious. Green flags include: the other person celebrating your success, engaging in healthy disagreement, someone who asks you about your past life experiences, and someone who treats strangers nicely. And this important green flag – they don’t bash their exes.

315p-SMELL THE COFFEE
You can energize fast without caffeine. If you’re in the middle of an energy slump, take a stroll by the office coffee machine. Simply inhaling the rich scent of coffee for ten minutes will revitalize you as much as actually drinking a cup.

Music appears to distract you from pain and may also trigger muscle relaxation.

415p-O YEAH!
Some women can experience an orgasm from something as simple as a scalp massage. Rutgers University researchers say it is possible for women to have what’s known as “extragenital orgasms” — orgasms without genital contact. Arousing sensitive areas like the scalp, neck or breasts or even just imagining sex can get them there.
