Expect the unexpected when watching the “Barbie” movie. It’s a laugh out loud trip down memory lane, with a plot of surprising depth. Here are the top five life lessons I am taking with me after watching this standout film.1. Own Your Weird “Weird Barbie” (played by SNL alum Kate McKinnon) was crucial to the plot.

Though medical experts believed for years that a nightly glass—especially of red wine —had multiple health benefits, more recent research has revealed that the health effects of drinking wine every day might be more complicated.

And, since the formation of these blood vessels appears to play a critical role in fatty tissue growth and reduction, the regulation of angiogenesis––the blood vessel formation process––may contribute to weight gain and weight loss. So, researchers tried…
There are few things I love more in this world than doing nada. This would have shocked college me: My calendar was booked every single day with plans ranging from study sessions to dinner reservations to drunken weekend shenanigans.
