OK, so maybe you work your butt off on the job. Perhaps you’re generally viewed as a paradigm of energy, motion, and initiative. In fact, you might be simply skyrocketing through life. Congrats! But even among the most accomplished of us, there’s often an alter ego someplace deep inside, striving to (sluggishly) burst forth: the hidden sloth.

Sometimes it’s just great to be lazy.

Now experts claim to have solved the mystery of the disappearing socks and have even devised a formula to predict the likelihood of them straying.

Although it won't help prevent the First World problem from happening, it may finally shed some light on why it happens in the first place.

'Trigger warning,' 'hella' and 'athleisure' also made the list

Merriam-Webster announced the latest additions to the company’s unabridged dictionary on Wednesday. Among the 2,000-odd entries are the likes of FOMO, the acronym for the “fear of missing out” that so plagues the young, as well as Mx., a gender-neutral honorific for those who don’t care for options such as Mr. or Mrs.

As with every dictionary update, the words that are added are signs of the times, reflecting what we’re talking about and how we’re talking about it. ICYMI is a reminder that our overrun, distracted lives have led us to embrace abbrevs—and given us a need to flag things that get lost in the deluge. Wacky tobacky reflects one of the hottest political issues of recent years: legalizing marijuana. And words like dox—a slang verb that means “to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment”—reflect our preoccupations with privacy and Internet-shaming.

Here’s why you might eat less if you listen to yourself chew — and how to avoid noisy scenarios that might overpower your sense of hearing.

Many people do not shower every day

Here’s a tip to save time in the morning - don’t shower.

A recent survey found that as many as a third of all Brits do not shower every day, but they may not be as stinky as you think.

According to one expert, showers are really only needed about twice a week.

Dr Elaine Larson, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University School of Nursing, told Time magazine that a shower a day is not necessary - at least for your skin.

“People think they are showering or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that’s not the case,” she said.

From PR Newswire:

NEW YORK, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Frustrated by the aspirational "achieve your perfect body" message that currently blankets the fitness industry, Blink Fitness—the premium-quality, value-based gym, is changing the rhetoric around fitness by focusing on the emotional benefits of exercise. In fact, a recent survey commissioned by Blink Fitness and conducted online by Harris Poll in February among over 2,000 U.S. adults supports that sentiment. The survey found that 82% of Americans say it's more important to feel good than look good. Since April is National Stress Awareness Month, Blink is continuing to emphasize the importance of how exercise makes you feel.

"For many Americans, stepping foot into a gym can feel like walking straight into the lion's den. At Blink, we've fostered a positive environment to make our members feel good and make working out more fun and less stressful," said Todd Magazine, President, Blink Fitness. "The survey results confirmed that we were onto something. We're focusing on the emotional and experiential benefits of exercise instead of industry norms like rapid weight loss and big muscles."

A new study has found that an alarming 40% of Brits are only exercising as part of a calorie justification programme.

Millions of exercise fans admit they only put themselves through their fitness regimes to burn off calories they consume through an unhealthy diet, or a busy, extravagant social life. And rather than focusing on getting fit and healthy, many are using it as a way of 'balancing the scales' - wiping out the unhealthy food they have already tucked into or giving them an excuse to eat more.
