Ever feel like your lower eyelid has its own heartbeat?I know mine is liable to twitch uncontrollably every once in a while, even though I can’t seem to find a good reason for the sudden cramping. According to the NHS, that’s likely fine. The stuttering skin is “common and very rarely a sign of anything serious,” they write. However, rarely, a twitching eye can reveal

Don’t get me wrong ― I love The Traitors, which, like millions of others, I finally got into this year. In fact I’m become such a fan that I’ve even joined a few of Reddit’s r/Traitors live chats (don’t judge me! I can’t be expected to keep my feelings on Minah’s genius machinations to myself) in the last few weeks. But during those discussions, I’ve seen comment after comment repeating the same
