It’s difficult to imagine modern life without access to refrigeration. Not only does it make grocery shopping a lot easier to plan, being able to freeze our food and leftovers allows us to take advantage of bulk discounts and reduce food waste. Plus, having a freezer means you can literally enjoy a burrito whenever…

Productivity hacks often have funky little names. You have your Pomodoro technique, the idea of “eating the frog,” and now, temptation bundling. Temptation bundling, per Ness Labs, involves combining an activity that gives you instant gratification with one you don’t like to do. The best example is waiting to watch…

We love a tiny hack around here and sometimes, it’s the smallest ones that make a big impact. If you’re studying for finals right now, you might be feeling pretty overwhelmed trying to cram everything in. Even in your downtime, though, you can be subconsciously absorbing your materials.

I’d like to think I’m the kind of person who will take the time to wash, dry, and chop the wide variety of produce it takes to make a salad, but I’m not. I’m lazy, which is why I’ve recently been on a bagged salad kick. These kits offer an easy way to make sure I actually eat a vegetable once in a while. I’m not so…

I have never been particularly interested in cars—they are merely things that exist to get me from point A to point B, and are often overpriced and beleaguered by expensive problems.

I was long intimidated by the idea of taking my car to a mechanic, because I knew I wasn’t leaving without spending $2,000, and…

If you’re looking to harness the power of water at your will, French drains are the way. Whether you have water pooling in areas outside when it rains, areas of your garden that get too much water, or a garage or house that floods, a little rock and pipe can make those problems disappear before they become costly…

The internet can be a fun place, but it can also be dangerous. Hackers are going to hack, after all, and you might just be in their crosshairs. One of the easiest things you can do to protect yourself is to keep your PC up to date with the latest security patches—and Microsoft dropped a new one yesterday.

So you’re in the market for a new car. Trading in your car is a great way to apply the value of your old vehicle to your new one, all while avoiding the hassle of selling it yourself. The only issue? You haven’t paid off your current ride.

Tempering eggs isn’t easy. Even after doing it hundreds of times, I still reconsider recipes that require me to slowly drizzle scalding liquid from a heavy pot with my non-dominant hand while simultaneously whisking with the other. It’s messy, it’s hot, it’s frustrating. Luckily, you can make tempering a heck of a lot…

According to the nonprofit agency the Gun Violence Archive, there have been over 200 mass shootings in the United States in 2023, and it’s only May. Guns have been the leading cause of death for U.S. children and teenagers for several years, beating out car accidents, COVID, cancer, and drag queen story hours alike.

We’re fans of anything that can make travel less of a headache, from checking in online or booking smarter itineraries to knowing your rights when things go wrong. And speeding through the customs and immigration process with Global Entry (which includes TSA PreCheck in the membership fee) certainly can alleviate…

The “Sunday scaries” may be cliche, but they’re also real. That dread we feel about the coming week is connected to the relief we feel on Fridays as the weekend approaches. But instead of treating Friday as a time to avoid and escape your responsibilities, what if you used it to set up a relaxing weekend and a…

I’m hardly married to one type of cookware. I have stainless steel pans, cast iron pans, and nonstick pans, and I’m beginning to dabble in carbon steel. Each piece of cookware comes with its own set of idiosyncrasies, and knowing them means you can cook in any kitchen, no matter what kind of pan you’re confronted…

Seeing your favorite store close is always a blow, and the current economic uncertainty we are facing is seeing many of our favorite companies close some locations, tighten their belts, and brace for what’s to come. Many have already filed for bankruptcy; the silver-lining for us, though, are the liquidation sales…

The allure of grain bowls, Buddha bowls, and protein bowls is that, if they’re made right, the quantity and diversity of ingredients keep your palate interested until the very last bite. That “if” is important. You’d think combining a load of fun ingredients would lead to effortless satisfaction, but I’ve gone to…

While texting often is looked down upon when it comes to developing a new relationship with someone, it can be a useful tool when first getting to know someone. It’s a great way to flirt and helps to foster connection and intimacy. Plus, it’s an easy way to show someone you’re thinking of them. That is, when it’s used…
