SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Whoever first said “Stop and smell the roses” was definitely on to something. Researchers say taking 30 seconds to deliberately inhale a scent can slow your heart rate, calm your nervous system, and lift your mood. That’s because smell connects directly to the brain’s emotional center, triggering powerful memories and feelings. But scent is deeply personal. What smells good to you depends on your memories, culture, and even genetics. Our reactions vary widely: Some scents relax one person and repel another. Even the same molecule can smell different to different people. Experts suggest “smell walks” to tune in: pause, sniff intentionally, and notice what resonates. It’s a simple, screen-free way to reconnect with your surroundings and yourself.

Fans of FX‘s “Welcome to Wrexham” have a slew of new episodes yet to come as the network has renewed the docuseries for 3 more seasons. The series from Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds is coming up on its 5th season, with the renewal taking the show through an 8th season into 2029. Season 5 premieres on May 14, and will chronicle Wrexham AFC’s quest for promotion to the Premier League following 3 consecutive promotions, something that has never been achieved in English Football League history.
Once “Malcolm in the Middle” wrapped, there was a mad dash to claim props and set pieces. At the “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” premiere in New York last week, Justin Berfield, who played ‘Reese’ said he was able to grab “a Le Creuset old school pot that was in the background of basically every kitchen scene.” He revealed that the cast-iron pot is also where cast members would hide their “sides”, or “mini scripts for each scene.” He now uses it in his kitchen.
Blake Lively does NOT want the jury to know how rich she is. Weeks before her court case against Justin Baldoni goes to trial, she filed legal docs asking the judge to bar all evidence about her and Ryan Reynolds’ “net worth and financial status.” Blake claims she’s lost $161 million as a result of Baldoni’s smear campaign. Interestingly, the judge threw out her defamation claim, so it’s unclear if that amount is even relevant. She’ll be allowed to present her claim that Baldoni retaliated against her after she claimed the “It Ends with Us” set was a hostile work environment.

OF THE DAY
A study finds that some people may be genetically programmed to be vegetarians.
Are you a “Butter Mom”? Or maybe your mom is? The viral “’90s butter mom” trend is gaining traction online, celebrating a nostalgic vision of parenting – rooted in simplicity, comfort and home-cooked meals. The concept builds on the earlier “butter mom” idea, which rejects diet culture in favor of balanced eating, real ingredients and a relaxed attitude toward food and family life. Social media has added a ’90s-inspired aesthetic, from cozy, casual fashion to slower-paced activities like baking and spending screen-free time with kids. But some critics question the accuracy of the name ’90s Butter Mom, pointing out that diet culture was widespread in the 1990s. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/muzkc5h4

WEIRD NEWS
A determined runner from Fort Smith, Arkansas has claimed a fast and fashionable record for the most T-shirts worn during a half marathon (female) after completing a race while wearing 55 shirts. Sprinting across the finish line while all puffed-up in her pullovers, Meredith Smith snatched the title from Jennifer Romano (USA) during the Fort Smith Half Marathon on 30 March last year, which she impressively finished in less than 3:30:00. She has completed more than 80 races during her quest to improve her health, yet this experience was remarkably unique as it required her to train while wearing dozens of layers of clothing! “Completing a running record was particularly special to me, as I would not have thought it possible when I began running in 2013 as a way to lose weight,” said Meredith to GWR. “Trying to set this record by adding weight back on to my body via T-shirts was like stepping back into my own shoes to physically see how far I’ve come. It was a celebration of my running journey and acted as a way to prove to myself and others that hard work and chasing your dreams pays off.” https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2026
