| Tiny yet divisive, Labubus are taking over the internet. These furry little critters, which started out as niche collectibles, can now be seen dangling on countless luxury handbags or the denim belt loops of content creators, typically appearing in threes. And while the public seems split on loving 'em or hating 'em, the fascination remains regardless. So, why is everyone so obsessed with these silly little Labubus? And are they actually the unexpected coping mechanism many need right now? "A lot of girls have said that it makes them feel less lonely," one content creator and "Labubu queen" told PS. Not so silly now, huh? Learn more about the psychology behind this pocket-size dopamine hit. |

For today's featured column, we're highlighting an important piece on postpartum travel from our Rest Stop franchise. |

By seven months postpartum, I felt like I was running on fumes. I'd skipped maternity leave — except for one blurry, anxiety-filled week on painkillers, recovering from my C-section — and jumped right back into freelance work while caring for newborn twins. I was on Slack less than two hours after delivery (yes, really). Looking back, that should've been a warning. Still, I didn't think I was allowed to rest, and often equated stillness with weakness. When the idea of stepping away, even for just 48 hours, came up, the guilt hit like a perfect storm. The depression crept in quietly — less sadness, more emotional flatlining. I was doing all the things, going through the motions, feeling . . . nothing. I remember sobbing at my six-week postpartum appointment. My beloved doctor — my advocate and confidante through my high-risk twin pregnancy — listened as I described the fog. I worried about her thinking I was "crazy" or a danger to myself or my babies. She nodded and said gently, "I know. But you shouldn't have to feel like this." That's when it hit me: This wasn't just exhaustion or a rough patch. It was postpartum depression, and I needed help. In the weeks that followed, I started therapy with a postpartum specialist and eventually began medication. Saying yes to that support felt just as vulnerable — maybe more so — than saying yes to the retreat I would soon go on. |
