22 Best Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds

These pups are low maintenance in the shedding department. If you're craving a cuddle with an adorable and furry friend but have allergies to pet dander, then a hypoallergenic dog might just be the answer to all your needs. Dogs that are hypoallergenic can work great for people with allergies because they don’t shed as much as other breeds do. That means there's not as much dander coming off their coats and sticking to your upholstery. While no dog is truly hypoallergenic, there's a threshold at which people with allergies tend to react to the dander (which is made up of dead skin cells) or saliva that causes sufferers to feel itchy, sneezy or short of breath. As an added bonus, dogs that shed less can help cut down on cleaning up all of that stubborn hair around the house. The experts at the American Kennel Club have pinpointed a whole array of dogs with lots of love to give, with less shedded fur to collect. From small dogs (like Bichons and Yorkies) to medium-sized pooches (like Poodles and Portuguese Water Dogs) to larger pups (consider the Giant Schnauzer), you’ll find your new best friend among these hypoallergenic dogs that don’t shed, and also happen to make great family pets. And when you welcome your pup to its new fur-ever home, check out these fun dog toys to help show them just how much they're loved.

The sad reality of obsessive love disorder

We all know that love can be overwhelming and sweep us off our feet and out of our minds. It’s not unusual to get lost in the whirlwind sometimes, but this is usually temporary, and as we mature and gain experience we learn to recognize that “new relationship energy” and keep our heads on straight. Someone who is struggling with obsessive love disorder (OLD), on the other hand, won’t find this so easy. With OLD, love becomes an all-consuming fixation. Rather than a desire to see the other person thrive, it often comes with the desire to protect and even control them. A lot of the time, the person with OLD suffers more than anyone else, as they are bowled over by these overwhelming feelings and struggle to function. However, it can also become dangerous for the object of the desire if their behavior escalates to psychological or physical abuse, or even stalking. Click through this gallery to learn more about the sad reality of obsessive love disorder.

What kind of future do our children face?

A child's life journey begins the minute said child is born. And the development of a youngster—physically, mentally, and psychologically—before the age of eight is absolutely crucial to their well-being. But millions of kids around the world are denied even the most basic of care during this critical stage of their lives. The consequences of such indifference are dire. Lack of support, encouragement, and love can derail a child's future before it's even begun. It's therefore essential for parents or guardians to spend time nurturing and cultivating the joys and treasures of childhood. But it's also the responsibility of society in general to ensure a child grows up in a safe and happy environment. Worryingly, however, little progress is being made in some quarters to eradicate major causes of child neglect, things like poverty and even climate change. So, what kind of future do our children face, and how can we make it better, brighter, and more beneficial? Click through and become aware of the next generation's hopes and fears.

It's Official: We Found the 40 Prettiest Flowers in the World

How many of these breathtaking beauties do you recognize? As is often the case with beautiful things, we've given flowers meaning—so much so that even looking at one can make you feel more alive. A plain red rose has become a romantic expression of love and sunny daffodils represent the rebirth of the planet every spring. Of course, because they're plants, we also use them in more practical ways: Silky flower petals have been crushed and distilled into essential oils and perfumes for centuries, and we've figured out how to eat some of them and make tea with select leaves, stalks, and blooms. But to put it simply, the joy of admiring a gorgeous, colorful flower is unmatched. (Though we should note that some are best admired from afar because of toxicity.) Not to mention, no two flowers are exactly the same. Some rise out of the water to bloom while others sprout vines that go where they want…permanently decorating the side of your house. Even low bushes can produce incredible blossoms, like giant peonies, and if you've ever sat under a cherry blossom tree with a cool breeze blowing tiny petals around you, you know how magnificent flowering trees can be. A person who loves flowers is called an "anthophile," and if this describes you, you'll probably recognize most—if not all—of the flowers below. Rare or common, bright or soft, simple or complex, these beautiful flowers from around the world are certainly sights to behold.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.
