If you’ve ever gone shopping for a bra, you know how frustrating it can be. Between bra sizes being a myth and hormone levels changing the size of breasts throughout the month, it’s an uphill battle. Fortunately, this graphic offers a few pointers that may help.

iOS 13 is here, and like Android 10, Apple’s newest OS update brings an official dark mode to your iPhone. Apps can have their own special looks when you’re using dark mode, too, and the fine folks at Gadget Hacks have provided a long list of various apps that currently support this feature. Some of the standouts…

The screwdriver is not a bad drink, but it’s not a great drink. The combination of orange juice and vodka isn’t hard to swallow, but I’ve never been like “You know what I really crave right now? A freakin’ screwdriver.”

The greatest gift that home cooking has to give is happiness, and few things make people happier than a slice of pizza. So, on this National Pepperoni Pizza Day, I’d like to talk about just how easy it is to make pizza at home—even a fully loaded, stuffed-crust monstrosity.

Feeling a little sore after a work out is something I’ve always craved, as I feel like it’s confirmation that I put in some good work at the gym. But it turns out, feeling sore doesn’t actually feel good. After a while, I realized I needed something to help when I was little too sore to function like a human being.

If you want the most options and the least competition, the first week of fall is a great time to buy a home.

McDonald’s may be a hamburger restaurant, but it’s the fries that keep them coming back. Oddly, the fries that made McDonald’s famous—the ones that truly set them apart from their fast food rivals—are not the fries they serve today. The original golden fry from the Golden Arches was cooked in beef tallow, which gave…

Among the near-constant discussion of an impending recession, you may have noticed some rumbling about our worsening national deficit. But you may be confused about how that national debt happens, and what it means for how the country’s finances are run.

Whistleblowing seems to be in the news a lot, lately. And it makes us ordinary schmoes wonder: How would we handle ratting out our colleagues, or our superiors, if we had to—either to protect other consumers and citizens or merely to cover yourself? If a worker sees some dirty deeds and want to call attention to them,…

When my son was four, my husband and I took him and his then two-year-old sister to spend the day on a Florida beach. The scene was picture perfect: The sun was shining, we’d managed to remember sunscreen and beach toys, and both kids were content to build sand castles in front of our beach blanket.

Though iOS 13 just launched yesterday, there’s one great reason why you might…

Reddit must know it’s Jerk Week. The top post on r/AskReddit last night asked, “What is something we can all agree on being a ‘dick move’?” The top answers, agreed upon by thousands of Reddit users, shared a theme: the most universal dick move is being selfish in a crowd. Especially being selfish in a crowd that’s all…

Avoiding banking fees is one of the pillars of financial fitness, but can be tricky to achieve when it comes to unplanned moments when you need cash. Why should you pay to access your own money at an ATM just because the machine is run by a different bank? If you’ve ever felt cornered by an out-of-network ATM at a…
