• New 1AND1 picks from our experts.

• The importance of quality time from Minaa B.

• An Off the Cuff episode with Amanda Petrik-Gardner, an OCD expert.

• Imagine driving down a busy highway in Dubai only to encounter a large debris blocking your path. That's exactly what happened recently, until a good Samaritan took matters into his own hands, dodging cars to clear the roadway. The heartwarming incident was caught on video and quickly went viral, symbolizing the power of a single act of kindness amidst the chaos of daily life.

• In a dramatic rescue caught on camera, a brave police officer saved an unconscious driver from a burning truck. Faced with life and death, the officer stated, "I’m either going to die here with him or get him out." His selfless bravery not only saved a life but also reminded us of the indomitable spirit of those who serve and protect.

• Halloween brought out the spirit of generosity in a group of teenage trick-or-treaters. When they found an empty candy bowl at one of the houses, they decided to refill it with some of their own stash. The homeowners' Ring camera captured this touching act of kindness, illustrating how small gestures can create a ripple effect of goodwill in the community.

This week, our experts have selected their favorite at-home gut health tests, an immunity pill that our co-founder swears by, and a digital tablet to supercharge your journaling and note-taking.
