Are Mama's Boys Marriage Material?

Not *not* looking at you, Travis.

Today's newsletter was written and curated by Popsugar editor Emma Glassman-Hughes. Let's Investigate: Are Mama's Boys Marriage Material? It was the schoolyard taunt that every little boy feared: "Don't be such a mama's boy!" But now, some guys — including the world's favorite newly engaged man — have managed to rebrand what was once the ultimate ick into a sneakily sexy persona.  What makes a mama's boy hot? Just ask relationship therapist Nicole Moore, who recently explained the phenomenon to my colleague Taylor Andrews.

From cramps, headaches, and fatigue to a general blah feeling that comes with moodiness and brain fog — every month can feel like a battle just to make it through. So when I found out about a new drug-free device called OhmBody that is supposed to help ease period aches, pains, and even mood swings and fatigue (no pills necessary), I was intrigued. "OhmBody leverages this science [neurostimulation] to provide women with a noninvasive, drug- and hormone-free option for restoring balance and relief during their cycle," said Navid Khodaparast, PhD, chief science officer and cofounder at Spark Biomedical, in a press release. So are the device's claims too good to be true? — Mercey Livingston Read More PS . . . Before you go, here are more stories from Popsugar and beyond that we think you'll appreciate.
