If you’ve worked full time for a company for at least one month of the year, you’ll receive the form in…

There is no such thing as a “girly” drink. There are sweet drinks, bitter drinks, fruity drinks, and stiff drinks, but the gender of a drink will always be fluid.

If you need a public-facing logo for your business, one that will appear on signs and stationery and ads, one you and your customers will see every day you work, then you should get it professionally designed for several hundred (or thousand) dollars. If you only need something to put on your Facebook page and your…

We know our children best. We know their strengths and weaknesses, their talents and triggers. It can be easy for us, as parents, to see how little tweaks to a schedule or a shift in policy would help our kids to be more successful in school. And it’s our job to advocate for our kids, right?

So you sent nudes. We live in a digital age, and now more than ever, the nude pic has become something of a dating currency in itself.

If you’ve paid off a student loan, you know how euphoric it feels to send in that last payment. You’re so happy to be free from the loan’s weight you might throw a party to celebrate, book the vacation you’ve been wanting to take and, of course, toss all of the mail from your servicer to rid yourself of the bad…

Try as I might to act like I am immune to aggressively cloying nature of February 14th, I actually kind of dig Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because my particular brand of anxiety is soothed by a brightly colored and visually uniform grocery store display, but it’s probably thanks to my love of candy,particularly…

So you worked hard at the gym yesterday, and you’re feeling it now. You’ve got a case of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and you just want it to stop. Here’s how to cope, and importantly, how not to.

I’ve developed a lot of systems I use to keep files and projects connected on my Mac: wiki-link services that connect notes to to-do items, Curio projects that connect emails to projects, and extensive tagging systems to keep all kinds of files together. Each one is, in one way or another, limited in scope (and…

The most crucial moment of my day is the first three minutes after I get home. I’m at my lowest point. If I’m asked to make a decision or address a problem, I will answer uselessly or irritably. I can’t eliminate that small stupid period. But I’ve figured out how to work around it, by paying attention to my body.

Welcome to our second week of the not-a-plank challenge, where we try out underrated core exercises you should know. Today we’re taking on two exercises named after creatures, both of which are both harder than they look.

It happens to the best of us. You’re going about your day, tapping through your smartphone while navigating around your little slice of the world. Before you know it, you realize that you’ve accidentally done something on your device you didn’t mean to do—at least, that’s the scenario I’m envisioning for this week’s…

We’ve all left the “customer copy” of the receipt lying on the table at a restaurant after we’ve finished dinner. Here’s a good reason why you might want to take it with you (and keep it somewhere safe).

All too frequently, people who are good at making a thing get promoted to be the supervisors of the people making the thing—without any training as to how to lead. So how do you become a good boss? Do you pick up leadership skills on the job, or is special coaching required? We find out this week. First, we’ll get a…

We’ve discussed the importance of using a VPN for web browsing several times before, but almost always in the context of finding a VPN to use alongside your desktop browser (and other activities). However, many mobile developers are baking VPNs directly into their browsers, the latest being Opera on Android.

Preserved lemons are something special. They somehow manage to bring all five flavors to the table. With only two ingredients—lemon and salt—their primary flavors are (obviously) sour and salty, but after hanging out at room temperature for a while, the citrus mellows, developing a gentle sweetness with just a bit of…
