“Having a mindfulness practice of your own can help diffuse potential confrontations with your kids,” says Susan Verde, kids yoga instructor and the author of I Am Yoga. When anxiety wells up inside, or you’re clenching your fists, “Acknowledge what is happening physically and emotionally in your own body and mind,” says Verde. “Once you take notice, you can choose your response, instead of just reacting.” Before responding, pay attention to what you’re experiencing, and why you’re upset....

Both men and women have been shelling out big bucks to lift their locks to this level. The difference between finding a naturally gray hair here and there and this deliberate, somewhat subversive color trend is that the latter is a more uniform, even-toned shade of icy-gray and silver, which can be tailored to complement your skin tone.
