Weather, Wellness, and Easy Health Tips

If you're a migraine sufferer, you probably know your usual triggers—but have you considered the weather? Headache and migraine specialists say that sudden changes in barometric pressure can be a major trigger. For instance, a quick temperature shift from the 60s to the upper 80s (or vice versa) within a few days may set off a migraine episode.

Dealing with under-eye bags? There are simple ways to reduce puffiness. Start by cutting back on salt—too much sodium can cause your body to retain water in areas like under the eyes. Using a Neti pot may also help by flushing out excess sinus moisture. And don’t forget your sunglasses—UV exposure can contribute to sagging skin around the eyes.

Struggling to stay hydrated but not in the mood for plain water? Try snacking on water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, raw spinach, and celery. They’re refreshing and help keep your hydration levels up.

On this day in 1955, ABC Television premiered The Lawrence Welk Show, a musical variety program that would run for decades and become a staple of American television.

July 2, 1964, marked a pivotal moment in U.S. history when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Music fans might remember that on this day in 1984, The Time released their third studio album Ice Cream Castle, featuring hits like “The Bird” and “Jungle Love.” Just a year later, in 1985, General Motors announced plans to include electronic road maps in select luxury vehicles. That same year, Phil Collins topped the charts with “Sussudio,” the number one song in the country 40 years ago today.

Amazon Prime Video’s latest original film, Heads of State, premieres today, starring John Cena and Idris Elba. This high-octane political buddy comedy pairs the U.S. President and the U.K. Prime Minister as unlikely allies forced to team up and stop a global conspiracy. With sharp humor, fast pacing, and a refreshingly original plot, Heads of State delivers non-stop entertainment—perfect for a movie night at home with friends.

Meanwhile, FX has announced that its smash hit The Bear will return for a fifth season in 2026—just one week after the debut of season 4. Despite the finale being titled “Goodbye,” the network cited record-breaking viewership as reason enough to bring Carmy and his crew back for more award-winning storytelling.

Washington State Ferries is preparing for nearly 400,000 travelers over the Independence Day weekend, making it likely the busiest ridership stretch of the year.

Many people don’t realize they’re walking around dehydrated, especially in warmer weather. The Cleveland Clinic says most of us fail to drink the recommended 64 ounces of water each day, which becomes even more crucial as temperatures rise.

If you’re managing psoriasis, you may already use prescription treatments—but don’t overlook coconut oil.

And for an added boost to your indoor environment, consider bringing home a houseplant. Certain plants can filter allergens, increase humidity, and even provide first aid. Aloe vera, for instance, offers natural relief for minor burns and sunburns thanks to the healing gel inside its leaves.
