Signs your family doesn't care about you

We don't get to chose the family we're born into. Some of us are lucky enough to be welcomed by a supporting and loving family, while others, not so much. What we can do, however—once we reach a certain age and level of financial autonomy—is choose how to deal with our families. If we feel like our family somehow doesn't care about us, and that it has affected other parts of our lives even into adulthood, we can do something about it. But the first step is to recognize that this is indeed the case. In this gallery you'll find a list of signs to look for. Click through and see if you can recognize any of these in your own family dynamics.

Minimalist hacks to declutter your life

There's a reason that changing seasons always seem to be accompanied by donation bags—we have too much stuff! Shows like 'Tidying Up with Marie Kondo' gained attention worldwide because this is a common problem that both unites and buries us. Whether it's one too many stops for retail therapy, the inability to give anything up due to sentimentality, or simply not enough time to go through it all, many of us struggle with household clutter in our day-to-day lives. However, did you know that owning less can actually improve your quality of life? In 1978, researcher Phillip Brickman from Northwestern University conducted a study to see if wealth truly brought happiness. He found that the happiness of those who had won the lottery was no higher than the control group who only met their basic physical needs. Yet another psychological study was done by LN Chaplin and DR John, which found a strong link between materialism and low self-esteem among young people. Not only has it been shown that clutter detracts from our mental health, it's also been suggested that our mental well-being actually benefits when our houses aren't cluttered with things. According to Psychology Today, clearing our closets of possessions that we don't absolutely love can reduce stress and foster peace of mind. In an added benefit, spending less on material things also cuts back on financial stress, as well as taking away the pressure of always having to earn and buy more. While buying your favorite pair of pants in three colors may feel right in the moment, this doesn't ultimately lead to long-term happiness. By embracing a minimalist lifestyle, you can make your life less complicated and stressful—all while saving money. Perhaps less really is more! While this is all great to talk about, it's another thing entirely to actually get down to business and clear the clutter to make way for minimalism. But never fear! These minimalist hacks will make your life a whole lot easier. In honor of Use Less Stuff Day, click through this gallery and start maximizing your life today!

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.

Why is witchcraft on the rise?

Our ideas about witches have evolved steadily over the centuries. We’ve seen them as cackling green-faced monsters and servants of the devil performing occult rituals in human form. In some cultures, pretty much everyone knows a grandma who’s also a bruja. In TV and film, we have the Wicked Witch of the West, and Samantha from ‘Bewitched.’ This is a rather confusing jumble of taboos, misogyny, and feminine wisdom. Let's take a look at how the perception of witches has changed throughout history, and how that has led to a rise in witchcraft today. Click through the gallery to get started.

Understanding Qi (chi), and how to boost yours naturally

Qi (or chi) is the energy of the universe, according to Chinese culture. That sense of vitality you feel flowing through yourself moves through all living beings, and is what is considered to connect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you feel low, unmotivated, or a lack of energy, it can mean there is a blockage somewhere in the body. Our chi is our "essence," and when it cannot flow freely, we feel the lack of an animating force in our life. You may become stagnant or sluggish, and find normal activities more difficult. But fear not: there are ways to boost your chi naturally, so you can enjoy movement in your life again! Intrigued? Click on to learn about this fascinating concept.

The inherent dangers of human inbreeding

Inbreeding is the mating of individuals or organisms that are closely related through common ancestry. In humans, it's associated with consanguinity, defined as a union between two individuals who are related as second cousins or closer. History records that inbreeding was commonplace in antiquity, and probably even earlier. Today, cultural taboos, parental education, and greater awareness of inbreeding consequences have played large roles in minimizing inbreeding frequencies in Europe and throughout the Western world. But the custom is still practiced in other regions of the globe, and the health risks of doing so remain serious. But what exactly are the inherent dangers of human inbreeding?
