Emotional abuse is different in its ability to leave us with long-term scars and trouble with relationships in adulthood.

Is dark chocolate really better for us?

When it comes to sourcing a tasty and energizing snack, little can compare with chocolate. The problem is, of course, that too much chocolate is bad for us. After all, few people reach adulthood without learning it should be consumed in moderation... Exactly how much chocolate is too much, however, may depend on the percentage of a cocoa the chocolate bar contains. Often boasting a cocoa percentage of 70% or more, you may have heard that dark chocolate is the "healthy version" of chocolate. Whether that's true or not, with its distinct taste you most likely either love or hate dark chocolate. But the question remains: is it good for you?

Looks of love on Harry and Meghan's wedding anniversary

In the run-up to their sixth wedding anniversary, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on an unofficial tour of Nigeria. Their schedule included events and activities related to their Archwell Foundation and the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event organized by the prince, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary. The couple appeared joyful as they engaged with people across the country, but social media users suggested they looked uncomfortable when 'God Save the King,' was played during a ceremony, likely because Nigeria is a former British colony and the Sussexes have separated themselves from the royal family. Regardless, they seemed very at ease during their visit overall, and were photographed holding hands and kissing. Ever since they made their first official appearance together, Harry and Meghan have completely ignored the royal rules against public displays of affection (PDA). But it's not just the hand-holding and body language that made them the cutest royal couple around–it's those loving gazes that the cameras always catch! As they celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, check out their best pictures together. From smitten faces to huge events, click on!

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.
