Caesar dressing is an incredible condiment, packed full of all sorts of flavors: richness from the egg yolk, umami (and salt) from the anchovies and parm, acid from the lemon, and pungency from the garlic and fresh pepper. Why, then, do we think of it as a mere lettuce topping, when it could be used to make any…

There are a lot of reasons you might want a tattoo removed. Maybe it was done poorly, maybe you no longer care for whatever it was commemorating, or maybe you just want to clear some space to add fresh ink.

As travel spending hits new pandemic highs, you’ve probably started day-dreaming about an international vacation yourself. But before you start booking away, you should make sure your passport didn’t expire over the course of the pandemic.

Around the time the pandemic hit, my husband and I were beginning to think about upgrading to a bigger home. We wanted a larger backyard with a deck to entertain, and a finished basement we could outfit with comfy couches, a TV, and maybe a Ping-Pong table. My vision was to have a home where we could gather our…

Ants in your home is always a cause for concern.

According to a recent report from Northwestern Mutual, 53% of Gen Zers and 52% of Millennials surveyed felt that making small daily purchases like a daily cup of coffee will impact their long-term financial security. The idea that avocado toast is to blame for an entire generation’s financial woes has been laughable…

To the best of my recollection, the first R-rated film I saw in a theater was RoboCop 2, a movie in which a prepubescent crime lord is mercilessly gunned down by a drug-addicted killer whose brain has been removed and inserted into a robotic body with a terrifying human face animated via rudimentary computer graphics.…

From something as simple to adding a dollop to your tea, to glazing over potatoes to make honey tots in your air fryer, there is no shortage of dishes that can be spruced up with a dash of this natural nectar. But honey’s usefulness expands beyond the kitchen: A handful of studies have found honey as a useful tool in …

Have you ever been about to smash that “tweet” button, but the fear of being called to HR stayed your hand? It’s a reasonable fear: It may seem unfair that your bosses should be able to control how you present yourself and what you do when you’re engaging in non-work activities, but to a degree, they can.
