According to Tokyo-Games-bound long-distance runner Aliphine Tuliamuk, nothing is harder than 50 hours of labor — not any of the 26.2-mile races she’s ever done. “At least I know where the finish line is during a marathon,” she told POPSUGAR via email. Tuliamuk, whose daughter Zoe was born in January, requested that her baby accompany

When talking about sports, a hat trick happens when a player scores three times in one game — so, no, it has nothing to do with headgear or a sleight of hand. While the event can happen in a lot of sports (hockey, cricket, water polo, darts), the term is most commonly used in soccer.

ANNOVERA® is a long-lasting birth control option you can control. It’s a ring. It goes in your vagina. Notice we said “vagina” and not “the v-word.” Because when we talk like that about reproductive health, we’re apologizing for our bodies. So consider this an unapology, from ANNOVERA®. ANNOVERA® is a first-of-its-kind birth control that’s as

We all know Simone Biles has won a lot of medals on both the national and international level, but just how many Olympic medals could she rack up when she competes again in Tokyo? The answer is staggering. Although Simone has only competed at one Olympics so far (the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro),

I know it’s a bad habit, but I definitely don’t always change my clothes immediately after a sweaty workout.
