Americans Dread This Part Of Vacation Most, Survey Reveals For many Americans, the best part of vacation might come before the bags are even packed. New research finds that two-thirds of travelers say the anticipation of a trip is just as satisfying, or even better, than the getaway itself. While most say nothing tops being at the destination, 28 percent say planning the trip is the most enjoyable stage.  The worst? Coming home. A full 78 percent say the journey back is the lowest point of the experience. That emotional crash has a name — “post-vacation funk” — and for some, it hits before the trip even ends.  About one in 10 feel it c…

Happiness In Life Hinges On This Key Trait, Study Finds The secret to a happier life might not be what you own, but who you believe in.  New research published in Psychological Bulletin reveals that trust plays a powerful role in how happy we feel, and that the two reinforce each other over time.

Westport Dad Stole Wife's Skincare Products — Then Beat The Industry At Its Own Game Jake Rosenblum didn’t plan to start a skincare line. The 33-year-old Westport husband and father hadn’t given the industry much thought until a fateful trip in the early days of the pandemic opened his eyes to its missing pieces. "I left NYC in a rush and forgot most of my stuff, including my generic CVS aisle skincare,” Rosenblum recalled. “So I started using my wife’s products, and they worked. Better than anything I’d used before.” But those products weren’t made for men, and that stuck with him. "That got me thinking: Why doesn’t skincare for men feel intentional?” he said. "Everything…
