The process of smoking cocktails is rather simple: you ignite wood chips or other aromatic flammable ingredients, and, using a cocktail smoking tool of your choice, you apply the smoke to a mixing glass or cocktail glass before serving the drink. One rule of thumb is that you be thoughtful with how you use smoke, and about the kinds of flavors you layer it with. For example, darker spirits tend to work better with smoke than lighter and more floral ones — hence, you’ll find more top bartenders experimenting with smoked Manhattans than with smoked Mojitos....

Those who chose to organize their sex schedule do so because they like sex, and they want to keep having it. Some even say the arrangement carries certain perks spontaneous sex does not. “Scheduled sex gives something to look forward to and anticipate,” says Sarah E....

“Your wrists are rarely the star, but they play an important supporting role in preventing injury and helping you get the most out of your workouts,” says Derek Holmes, a personal trainer in Chicago. It’s not just about making the joints stronger, Holmes adds. “Range of motion in the joint counts for a lot, too, when you’re lifting something heavy, so you don’t get injured.” Range of motion relies not only on increasing the flexibility of the muscles and ligaments surrounding your wrists but on getting the synovial fluids — the stuff that lubricates the joints — moving as well....

But for some reason, they’re easy to fall into and hard to leave — especially as adults, when friendships are so hard to come by....

Like, say, Darren Morgenstern who created Ashley Madison, the social network built with the explicit purpose of helping people have affairs, in 2002. To date, the site has attracted more than 50 million members. Of course, those looking to cheat don’t need to hop online to find yourself a fling....

There is not, nor can there ever be a single elegant style of parenting that fits every family’s needs. That’s because every family is different — culturally, spiritually, and philosophically. And more than that, each member of the family is an individual with their own unique perspectives on the world. That’s why parenting remains hard. It’s also why I was excited to speak to Dr. David C.
