RESEARCH OF THE WEEK The sperm count in men from North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand has declined by 50% over the last 40 years. Sperm quality is down in dogs , too. Birthday wishes do come true, as long as you wish to increase the cake’s bacterial levels by 1500% . Another study shows that wearing blue blocking goggles at night boosts melatonin levels, even when you use your smartphone.

Clearly, thredUP has become one of my go-to resources for toddler clothes, especially seasonal items, like winter gear and special occasions (remember Qman’s birthday “3” shirt ?), but even more so for activewear and athleisure apparel for myself. I’m always on the hunt for new cute workout gear and love scoring the best deals, so I’m excited to partner with thredUP...
