Signs that you are in a toxic relationship

Most of us have been involved in a toxic relationship at some point in our lives, whether it was in the personal or business sphere—and whether we knew it at the time or not. Of course, no relationship is perfect, but there are certain people with whom a healthy relationship is unattainable and you just have to get out. While good relationships provide a feeling of security, happiness, respect, and freedom, toxic relationships spread through you like poison from the hands of people who only care about themselves, and it can turn you into someone you may not even recognize. Whether it’s in the workplace, among friends, or in a romantic partner, if you’re feeling drained of your energy and joy, it’s time to re-evaluate those relationships. Check out this gallery to see some red flags.

Rediscovering the beauty icons of the 1960s

In retrospect, every decade in history has had its own unique concept of beauty. In the 1990s, there was the trend known as "heroine chic," while the 1950s favored voluptuous blondes, and the Roaring Twenties celebrated boyish flappers. The 1960s were fascinating years, as the decade marked the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the beginning of a period of liberation. The second wave of feminism encouraged women to embrace their sexuality in a new and empowering way. However, traditional Hollywood beauty symbols still held prominence in popular culture. Let's see which stars were considered the most beautiful women of the 1960s. Click through the gallery to get started.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.

The countries with the highest divorce rates

Marriage is an almost universal rite of passage, so common across countries and cultures that there are no known societies where it doesn't exist. Sadly, however, sometimes marriages don't work out, for whatever reason. Divorce rates are calculated using available census data from each country. Dividing the number of divorces in a given year by total population yields the crude divorce rate. However, this doesn't take into account that the divorce rate is measured as a percentage of the total population, not in relation to the total number of marriages. Where possible, i.e. there is data available, the divorce rate is taken alongside the marriage rate to come to paint a more accurate picture about a country's rate of divorce. Intrigued? Click on to discover the countries with the highest divorce rates worldwide.
