Bad Things stars Gayle Rankin, Hari Nef, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, and Rad Pereira joined the writer/director of the horror film Stewart Thorndike at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere at the Village East by Angelika in New York City Friday night.

The film follows a group of friends in the Northeast on a weekend getaway at a snowy resort that sounds like just what the doctor ordered. An opportunity to reconnect, relax, and recuperate among serene, snow-capped mountains and trees. But peace doesn’t last long as the ghosts of guests past and relationships long buried come to light. Soon enough, their trip transforms into a psychological tailspin and bloody nightmare as both long-deceased guests and the space itself come to life, and the group turns on each other in a race to stay alive.

We chatted with the cast about their characters and what’s next for them.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Planet Fitness’ National Lead Trainer, Teddy Savage shares the tools to help you prioritize your mental AND physical wellness.

Mental health continues to be a struggle among Americans year-over-year – and in 2022, one in five adults experienced mental health challenges. Fortunately, another recent study highlighted that physical exercise can greatly impact one’s overall mood and mental health – finding that 1.2 million adults who exercised regularly had fewer days of poor mental health than those who didn’t exercise.

Working out isn’t just about how you look; it’s about how you feel. Luckily, Planet Fitness offers affordable memberships, that won’t break the bank, and with over 2,500+ locations, there’s bound to be a gym nearby, making working out more convenient than ever before, and an opportunity to not only boost your physical fitness but also help improve your mood and mental health.

And as a certified fitness trainer, Savage strives to share simple tips for people at every fitness level, whether they’re new to the gym, getting back into a routine or just looking for simple movements to promote physical and mental health.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Moderate activity can be just as effective as rigorous workouts when it comes to reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Start by creating a simple goal such as walking or even stretching for only 10-20 minutes every other day. Continuously increase your movement over time when you feel ready and able. It’s all about establishing a strong foundation to get your head in the fitness game.

Be Your Own DJ: Step into Planet Fitness’ Judgement Free Zone with your favorite tunes ready to go. Music is a great mood booster and a way to infuse any workout with great energy as it keeps a good tempo for your heart rate and is an easy way to get yourself in a mindset that you enjoy. A fun thing to do is to create playlists for different types of workouts and even listen to the soundtrack of your favorite movie.

Change it Up: It’s crucial to keep your routine fresh and exciting so working out doesn’t become a chore! The next time you head into the gym, try a new piece of equipment you’ve never explored or take a shot at a new strength training exercise, do something to shock your body and mind so exercise always feels new and fun.

Once the baby arrives, new moms often overlook how to care for themselves since all the attention naturally goes to the baby. Carefree, a leading maker of feminine care products, found that 66% of moms say their feminine care needs have evolved since having children. Carefree wants to help moms in all stages of motherhood and give them a little extra love too. So, their team of all-women and moms, launched a whole new campaign called “Protection for the Protectors” which champions the unparalleled strength of us moms. Carefree, you may know as a go-to liners brand, has now launched a whole new line of pads that are designed specifically for those expanded feminine care needs that moms face after giving birth, for protection from different types of leakage. They have a plastic-free top sheet that instantly absorbs, and 8-hour odor control and the pads are super soft too. Check them out at carefreelinersandpads.com, or on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. 


Now, new moms have a ton on their plate, as they are getting into the swing of their new routine. That’s why simple beauty products that not only can save them a little time but make them feel and look great make a huge difference. When washing with Head & Shoulders BARE, not only will you feel the difference of a clean, refreshed scalp, but your hair will look amazing. You’ll have more time to spend with family, and less time dealing with dandruff, and scalp itch or irritation. BARE’s simple nine ingredient formula features clinically proven dandruff fighting ingredient Pyrithione zinc (ZPT) which goes deep to fight dandruff at the source while the gently cleansing formula refreshes the scalp and hair. It’s sulfate, silicone, and dye free, giving mom effective Head & Shoulders dandruff protection with the BARE minimum. Get it in two different types, the BARE Pure Clean that has a light coconut water scent and cleans and clarifies for a refreshing feeling and vibrant look. BARE Soothing Hydration has a refreshing orchid and aloe scent, and it's extra hydrating and soothing if your scalp is a little drier. You can find them both at Walmart and walmart.com.

A statement-making eye look starts with gorgeous lashes. Celebrity makeup artist, Ash K Holm stopped by the LifeMinute studios to share her secret, Falscara, the easiest and best way to create a stunning lash look on your own such as the trending lashy cat eye and lifted baby doll look.

Falscara is a salon quality lash extension kit that you can do from home in just four easy steps. Ash says the kits are a go-to for her clients when it comes to creating custom lash extension looks for any occasion. Falscara is an innovative, affordable, and non-damaging DIY alternative to salon lash extensions. What's so unique is their under-lash application which creates a seamless natural look. The application is fast, easy and the wisps feel comfortable and weightless on the eyes.

Here’s how they work, first, gently place the wisps underneath the base of your natural lashes, slightly away from the waterline. Apply wisps starting from the outer corner of the lash line, working inwards. Brush on seal and use applicator or your fingers to squeeze the wisps against natural lashes to secure hold. The lashes look just stunning, so natural and with the overnighter they last up to 10 days.

Falscara has come out with a new style this year, a clear band. This wisp has a thin clear band, making the wisps seamlessly blend into your own lashes. Clear Band Wisp is super comfortable and feathery, perfect for creating the most natural lash extensions look. We love how they come in a variety of styles and lengths, perfect for mixing and matching to create a custom beauty look so you can go for a subtle or more glam look. The possibilities are truly endless.

Get them at Walmart, Target, Ulta, CVS, and Walgreens as well as on falscara.com. And on falscara.com, you can use a special coupon code “ash20” to get 20% off on all Falscara items.

Summer Hair Must-Have

Renowned New York City guitarist and singer-songwriter Steve Conte (New York Dolls, Michael Monroe) is back with his latest release, The Concrete Jangle, on Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records.

The new album includes 10 tracks of what Conte describes as the 60s meets 80s power pop about truth versus misinformation, entitlement, boredom, addiction and loss, and love and lust, of which half is co-written with Andy Partridge of XTC fame, who also happens to be one of Conte's musical heroes. The lead single "We Like It" is a who's who of rockers that all contribute their unique voices to the backing vocals, including Marshall Crenshaw, Steve Lillywhite (Ultravox), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Ian Hunter (Mott The Hoople), Simon Kirke (Bad Company), Marc Broussard, Palmyra Delran, and The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli.
 
Conte plays a multitude of guitars and other instruments and brings a bunch more of his famous friends and musical talents in on the action.
 
Co-producer Andrew Hollander plays piano and Mellotron, while keyboard whiz Rob Schwimmer adds an authentic 1960s Ondioline as well as Theremin and synthesizer sounds; trumpets by Chris Anderson, cello by Mark Stewart, and drums by Prairie Prince (The Tubes, XTC, Todd Rundgren), Thommy Price (Joan Jett, Billy Idol, Mink DeVille), and Brian Delaney (New York Dolls).
 
Even brother John plays bass, and his two sons, Zia and Baz, sing backing vocals. This latest project is clearly a labor of love.
 
Conte stopped by the LifeMinute TV Studios in Times Square recently to discuss the new album and enthrall us with a history of his varied musical background, which includes, most famously, his stint as the new lead guitarist for the reformed New York Dolls in 2004 with original members David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain, and Arthur "Killer" Kane.
