...take international flights from the U.S. each year, and the millions more who live in a perpetual state of jet lag due to night-shift work. One strategy is to use light-dark exposure, which helps cue the body's circadian rhythm. British Airways, for example, offers a "jet-lag calculator" that applies research into bright-light therapy to advise passengers when to sit in a pitch-black room and when to seek bright light after a flight...

The Harvard Crimson: “Kiss Kiss” takes an incredibly cynical view of Los Angeles and Hollywood. Do you think it was an accurate depiction of show business...

Chantecaille's aromatherapy Flower Waters, far right, come in scents like Wild Blackberry Bush and Roman Chamomile. Shu Uemura's Foaming Cleansing Water, right, uses the brand's signature mineral-rich Depsea Water. And for old-fashioned types who still prefer to drink the stuff, Borba offers six calorie-free waters in flavors like pomegranate and litchi that treat skin problems from the inside out. But at $30 for 12 bottles, this...
