Detoxing is one of those words that has taken on countless meanings, depending on who you ask. For some, detoxing is about losing a few pounds quickly. For others, it’s about giving the digestive system a break, reducing bloat, clearing brain fog, resetting habits after a season of indulgence, or regaining a sense of control when the body feels overloaded. And because it means so many different things, the solutions people reach for can vary dramatically, from juice cleanses and water fasts to supplement kits, fibre flushes and strict detox diets. Why detox? Before choosing how to detox, it’s important to clarify what you’re trying to accomplish. If your intention is weight loss, almost any restrictive protocol will create a calorie deficit, but you may lose muscle, impair your metabolism…

Donald Trump had been waiting Four years to get back in the Oval Office, and he arrived with a long to-do list. “They came out of the gate like Man o’ War,” says Joseph Grogan, who served as director of Trump’s domestic policy council during the first term. “They set a blistering pace of administrative actions across all major agencies.” On his first day alone, he pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate-change agreement, froze all foreign aid, suspended refugee admissions, and granted clemency to more than 1,500 people charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot that tried to overturn his 2020 election loss. And he was just getting started. Within a month, he’d fired 17 inspectors general, allowed immigration agents to arrest people inside courthouses, taunted Denmark…

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Sweet-natured retiree Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) is hired by jaded Macy’s HR staffer and divorced mom Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara) to play store Santa Claus. For Kringle, it’s not just a seasonal gig—he insists he actually is Santa. When a staff shrink tries to get Kris committed, lawyer Fred Gailey (John Payne), who is sweet on Doris, defends the old gent in a hearing—and proves he’s the “real” Claus (with an assist from the Postal Service). Featuring an 8-year-old Natalie Wood as Doris’s precocious, Santa-skeptical daughter. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) Perhaps the most beloved of all Christmas films, Frank Capra’s long-forgotten fantasy became a TV perennial when a lapsed copyright renewal in 1974 released it into the public domain. George Bailey (James Stewart), a…

MARIAH CAREY may be fighting a bout of food poisoning when she jumps on the phone to chat about her permanent holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” but she’s in relatively good cheer. “I’m still getting over it, but that’s a whole other story,” she says of being sick. “That’s not festive.” What is festive: Even 25 years after the song’s release [Ed. note: This interview took place in 2019], it’s almost impossible to go through winter without hearing the song blasting on the radio, at a party, or in a department store. The song is also one of Carey’s most commercially successful tracks, no small feat for someone who already has 19 number-one hits to date (and that includes “All I Want for Christmas Is You,”…
