I Always Use a Phone Sanitizer, and These Are the 5 Best Choices
A few years ago, I heard an alarming statistic that our phones are 18 times dirtier than a public restroom. This truly shocked me, and I instantly went into research mode on how to combat this. While I want to just wipe my phone down with a sanitizing wipe, it can be damaging to the device. Then, I finally invested in the help of a UV light sanitizer. Since owning one, it's been life changing, I couldn't believe I lived so long without one. In just minutes they remove up to 99.9 percent of bacteria from my phone.
If you're also on the hunt for one, then I'm here to help. Ahead, I curated a list of five top-selling choices that'll help you keep your phone clean and sanitized. Whether you're looking for a portable option, or one that's also an oil diffuser (seriously!), I got you covered. Keep reading to shop them all and invest in one of these smart gadgets.

Shani Darden's Texture Reform Is the Game-Changing Product My Sensitive Skin Needs
I am what you might call a reformed skin-care maximalist. When I first understood the revolutionary concept that I wasn't just resigned to having acne forever - I could actually treat some of my skin concerns - I began to believe that more is more. I piled on the serums and treatments, often with no real idea about proper layering or what my skin actually needed. My aesthetician wisely told me to cut down on products, and my routine is now a very manageable 4-to-5 steps. I've been thinking about trying retinol for a little while, so when we were first designated to stay at home, there was no better time. I started using the Shani Darden Skin Care Texture Reform ($88) and now, there's no going back.
My skin is normal/combination, which means it gets dryer in the winter and oilier in the summer, but nothing crazy. My skin is also sensitive, and I'm prone to clogged pores, which isn't fun. I settled on the Texture Reform because it seemed like the perfect retinol for beginners, aka me. The serum is also formulated with lactic acid, which acts as a gentle exfoliant. Combined with the mild retinol, it's like a power duo for brightening the skin. I use this product twice a week, and I've seen a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin; I have that summertime glow I've been dreaming of, sans makeup. Plus, there is no synthetic fragrance added to this product, but it smells like the inside of a rose. This bottle is magic for my skin, and I'm definitely stocking up.
The Hello Cup Launched #PeopleWithPeriods Campaign Because Women Aren't the Only Ones With Periods
The Hello Cup, creators of the Hello Cup menstrual cup, wants to remove the gender labels that have typically been used in regards to periods. And they started by removing any gendered language from all Hello Cup packaging.
In conjunction with their packaging revamp, The Hello Cup also launched the #PeopleWithPeriods campaign, because girls and women aren't the only ones with a menstrual cycle. In partnership with nonbinary activist, model, and kindness campaigner, Rain Dove, #PeopleWithPeriods is an initiative aimed to encourage free-flowing, kind, and open conversations around everyone's cycle.
Dove explained, "I'm working with The Hello Cup because the fact that not only women have periods is something that is not discussed enough. People have periods and The Hello Cup's commitment to not making periods a gender issue is refreshing." With the launch of this important campaign, Dove and The Hello Cup hope to remove gender labels in general around periods and promote barrier-free conversation, so anyone who bleeds can feel included.
Dove, who is a nonbinary person with a period, has been working with The Hello Cup to produce a series of videos as part of the project. Each video reflects on Dove's experience with their period, as well as public perceptions on the topic and ingrained stigma. Check the videos out ahead, and let's get the conversation about periods flowing!
A Therapist Explains Why Activists Should Take Care of Their Mental Health - and How to Do It
The current wave of protests following the killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and so many others has been an urgent and much-needed push for change. On a personal level, and especially when it comes to mental health, it can be empowering to experience this sense of unity. But the constant flow of energy and emotion can also become draining, overwhelming, and traumatizing, specifically for Black activists.
How Can Activism Affect Your Mental Health?
Activism impacts your mental health in many different ways. "From a positive perspective, it can be empowering and liberating to experience a collective sense of community," said Shaketa Robinson Bruce, LPC, NCC, CCH, a licensed professional counselor at Open Arms Counseling Center in Atlanta. This is especially true for Black people and other historically marginalized populations, she told POPSUGAR. "Historically, we haven't felt empowered to speak up about issues that affect us," she said. Participating in protests that amplify those voices and those issues can feel freeing and fulfilling, because "you are addressing social issues and racial injustices that matters to you," said Marline Francois-Madden, LCSW, an author and licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey. "What I've heard, specifically from protesters, is 'I didn't realize how much I needed that.'"
But protesters may also experience negative emotions, sometimes alongside these feelings of strength and liberation. That's because activists are working to change injustices that Black people have experienced both for centuries and day-in and day-out, Francois-Madden explained. "Institutional racism and structural racism have existed for a long time," she said. "Many activists can feel very exhausted during the fight for racial justice."
After protests, Bruce has also heard activists speak of feeling overwhelmed or experiencing emotional breakdowns, feeling sadness, grief, anger, or any combination thereof. Parents in particular may feel worried or afraid, "especially if they're raising Black boys," Bruce said.
Many protesters are dealing with this emotional stress while actively trying to push for change, a combination that can take its own toll. "We're seeing a lot of people come together and a lot of organizing," Bruce said. "But if you're constantly doing that, it can be exhausting." When it all comes together - the emotions, the energy drain, the triggering conversations and videos and social media posts - this work "can be traumatizing," Bruce said. If you neglect your own personal mental health, "it can take a toll that can lead to depression."

How Can Activists Take Care of Their Mental Health?
If you have the passion to do this work, you have to have the passion to take care of yourself as well, Bruce explained, because "a car can't run on an empty tank." If you don't take care of your mental health, you won't be able to create change - but Francois-Madden said that some activists may find it difficult to set those boundaries and deal with the sense of guilt that can come from taking a break, as necessary as it is.
Here's what activists can do to boost their mental health:
- Take a break. "You have to recharge and refuel in order to keep going," Bruce said. If you're feeling emotional strain and exhaustion, take some time off from protesting (as well as social media), whether that's a day, a few days, a week, or longer.
- Try deep breathing exercises. If you're feeling anxious, scared, worried, or overwhelmed right now, take ten deep, slow breaths. This can help ease tension and promote calm, starting from your nervous system and flowing through the rest of your mind and body. You can also try these breathing techniques to relieve anxiety.
- Exercise. Regular exercise can benefit your mental health, and Bruce mentioned that cardio especially can boost your endorphins.
- Meditate. Meditation is really good for promoting mental health, Bruce said. She recommended Liberate, a meditation app for people of color with specific meditations for on micro-aggressions and racial trauma. (Here are more meditation apps you can try.)
- Journal. When journaling for mental health, Bruce recommended writing down how you feel as well as affirmations. "Take time to check in with yourself and reflect on how you're feeling."
- Prioritize sleep. "If you are not getting adequate restful sleep, that can affect your concentration, your energy level, your mood," Bruce explained. She recommended getting eight to ten hours of sleep, if possible.
- Let go of guilt. Activism is important work, but taking care of yourself is also crucial. "We have to be intentional about our self-care, but also not feel guilty" when prioritizing emotional wellbeing, said Francois-Madden.
- Talk to a mental health professional. "Seeing someone professionally is definitely very critical right now," Bruce said. She noted that some therapists are offering free groups you can join, or other virtual gatherings that give you the space to express your emotions.
The work of activism, while often rewarding, "is very grueling and taxing," Bruce said. "It's important to take time out for yourself in the midst of this. In order to keep going, you have to take care of yourself."

Lenox Hill Filmed a Heartbreaking Special Episode on COVID-19 - Watch the First Clip
Netflix's Lenox Hill, which documents the lives of four doctors working at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, will air a special episode centered on the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode, which will be available to stream on June 24, was filmed over the course of two months, when the spread of the novel coronavirus was at its peak.
While filming for the original series wrapped just before COVID-19 arrived in the US, Vulture reported that the filmmakers, Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash, realized the importance of capturing Lenox Hill's doctors at work during the pandemic, especially in a city that had been hit so hard by the virus. For 33 days over the course of two months, Barash reported to Lenox Hill to film. He did the entire project alone, only accompanied by an American Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) representative, and followed the same sanitation protocols as the healthcare workers while filming.
"The first few days were really extreme in that way, but seeing how the doctors were performing, how resilient they were, how efficient with this massive event coming their way, it was really inspiring," he told Vulture. "I was thinking, If this is a war, these are my commanders and they're going in the front of the line. They're not in a bunker hiding. It was very moving emotionally for me."
This special episode of Lenox Hill will show viewers just how heartbreaking COVID-19 has been for the doctors, nurses, and staff working on the front lines, who in addition to treating patients, have often had to sacrifice time with their families. (Dr. Mirtha Macri, an emergency room physician who was featured in the series, sent her husband and young son away to stay with her parents.) Watch the teaser above and stream the full episode on June 24.

If You're Trying to Get Your Splits Down, Check Out These Yoga Videos For Help
You need flexible hips and hamstrings to do splits - so poses that stretch those parts of your body are key to getting your splits down. When you actually attempt front splits, you should have squared hips, yoga instructor Casey Urban explained in a previous interview with POPSUGAR. This simply means that your torso faces forward, you're not favoring one side, and your chest is lifted (growing up, that form is something we talked about a lot at gymnastics practice).
Urban said that, while the amount of time it takes to get splits down depends on the person and their flexibility level, patience is everything. She noted, though, that you should allow your body periods of rest and you shouldn't force any stretches or poses. Ahead, check out videos from yoga instructors designed to help you slide into your splits. The videos range in length, and we're confident you can find something here that works for you. Namaste - and stay stretching!
