You might hear people say that they're having a panic attack or an anxiety attack — and this very well could be the case. But, these are also terms that are thrown around often without understanding what exactly the symptoms are (and, that's understandable). Chances are, you might be mixing up what you believe to be a panic attack for anxiety or, even, vice versa.

Psychologist Amanda Spray, PhD, clinical associate professor in NYU Langone Health's Department of Psychiatry, told POPSUGAR that anxiety attacks are used a lot in media and pop culture. However, while panic attacks are in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) — what mental health professionals use to diagnose conditions and, for psychiatrists specifically, to prescribe treatment — anxiety attacks aren't. It doesn't mean anxiety is any less legitimate; it just means anxiety attacks are not technically diagnosable.

The bottom line though, is that someone is feeling overwhelmingly distressed i..

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is like wearing a helmet throughout life: it's the first line of defense when protecting your brain.

While there is “no silver bullet for promoting brain power,” setting good social, physical, and nutritional habits is the key to promoting cognitive wellness, says Dr. Jennie Valles, MD, a neurologist in Burke Rehabilitation Hospital's brain injury program.

Yes, “mentally engaging” activities like reading or playing video games that include motion capture or virtual reality can help stimulate the brain, but Dr. Valles credits big-picture lifestyle choices — like eating right and perpetuating a full social calendar — to long-term prosperity.

So, instead of flipping through the app store for brain games, try evaluating your behavioral patterns first. You can start by prioritizing Dr. Valles's tips for optimizing brain power.

With the likes of Zoë Kravitz, Adwoa Aboah, and Ashley Graham all sporting her signature pieces, it's safe to say that luxury jewelry designer and piercer Maria Tash is one name on Hollywood's glitzy speed dial. Determined to find out how someone goes from appreciating the art of piercing to becoming the owner of one of the most successful luxury jewelry brands in the world, we chat with the legend herself.

What drew you to the world of piercing and then jewelry?
I appreciated jewelry as a child. I have many wonderful memories playing in my mother's jewelry box and stringing her multiple necklaces around my neck. My mother would smile as she watched me strutting about with all of her wares. I sketched some jewelry ideas in late childhood, and I hammered shapes into bangle bracelets. Eventually, I started making finger rings and would crochet a purse out of thin metal wire. In my later teenage years, I became involved with goth and punk culture, where piercing played a ..

Right after attending Tom Ford's Hollywood-based runway show, Miley Cyrus had an appointment in New York City, and it appears as though it was with Marc Jacobs. The singer was spotted leaving the brand's office in SoHo right after grabbing dinner, so something tells us she'll be seated in the front row at his runway show, which, as always, is the grand finale of NYFW.

Miley has been upping her fashion industry appearances as of late, having attended last season's Tom Ford show as well and regularly showing off Versace looks on her Instagram feed. This all-black moment pretty much solidified why we like seeing celebs at Fashion Week — it just becomes obvious which brands speak to their signature style when we see them in these major designer looks.

I loved everything I saw stroll down the Marc Jacobs Fall 2020 runway — from the genderless underwear sets in tomato red and mustard yellow to the colored tights and monochrome outfits complete with hair bandanas and peacoats. From Miley Cyrus' brief appearance in a bralette and pants, trailing her printed coat on the floor, as she would, to Kaia Gerber's recreation of her iconic Marc Jacobs banana yellow outfit, which she's been rocking a different version of since the Spring 2018 season. From the gorgeous glitter dresses that flattered all shapes and sizes to Marc's thunderous stomp during the grand finale, which shut off the lights at the Lexington Avenue Armory and dismissed the guests. Marc's stomp was as if to say: “This is the way fashion should be! And that's final!”

But the design influence here was heavily rooted in the '60s. Models walked two-by-two and performers danced through the mock cafe Marc set up as his stage. A lot was happening ..

Taylor Swift showed up to the NME Awards in London on Wednesday looking like the CEO of a fashion conglomerate, and we're taking all the style notes. The “Lover” singer rocked the pinstriped black and white short suit as she accepted the award for Best Solo Act in the World, and I'm personally tempted to also hand her an award for best business casual look of 2020 so far.

The outfit, from Monse's Resort 2020 collection, featured a collared button-up shirt and blazer mashup jacket and shorts instead of the traditional suit pants, making this look more like a work of art than a suit. Taylor paired the look with a white and silver bedazzled Jimmy ChooRead More – Source
