We’ve told you before about a few ways you can take a video even while playing music from your phone. The app Mideo is a mainstay on my home screen for this reason. If I’m recording a lifting workout in my garage, I’ll use the app so that I can still listen to Hit it Hard by Peaches during my heavy squats. (It helps,…

From the life-threatening irony department: General Motors is recalling almost a million SUVs due to a defect in their airbag inflators that could cause them to explode during airbag deployment after a crash, shooting metal fragments into the car’s interior and potentially causing injury or death to its occupants.

It is common knowledge that I, Claire Lower, enjoy McDonald’s and their many fine products. The fries, when hot and fresh, are perfect, the Diet Coke is the coldest and fizziest in the game, and their double cheeseburgers are a cheesy, savory, known and predictable commodity. And, when their ice cream machine isn’t…

Every college scholarship application seems to ask the same questions, or at least variations on the same themes. Why do you deserve this honor? What obstacles have you overcome? What’s your birthdate?

The headline may sound familiar—that’s because the same potentially contaminated baby formula product recalled back in March “out of abundance of caution” somehow still made it out to a Nashville, Tenn. retailer, which further distributed it to eight states.

Some folks leave the nest with a solid education in cooking for themselves. Some folks move away from home and can barely microwave a frozen burrito without the risk of burning the house down. Luckily for those of us in the latter camp, meal kits exist.

It’s an appealing concept: You sign up, pay a subscription fee,…

It’s stressful to hand your unlocked phone to someone else—you never know what’s going to happen. Maybe they’ll stick to the single photo of your dog you’re trying to show them, or maybe they’ll see a private message you’d rather keep to your eyes only. While many messaging apps can’t help with that, WhatsApp now can:…

I love eggplant, but I don’t like futzing with eggplant. I’m not big on soaking, and only salt it half of the time, not because I think I’m too good for all that, but because I’m lazy. Historically, my favorite eggplant cooking method is frying it hot and fast on a of scattering of salt, but my waffle maker has its…

With all the apps and digital tools available to enhance your studying, plus how fast and easy it is to type notes, it seems like a no-brainer to bring your laptop with you to class. But it actually might be a no-brainer in the literal sense: There’s good reason to believe taking notes by hand and leaving your…

Neighbors complimenting my garden is 97% of why I grow things to begin with. And when I found Cynthia Stringham and her flower walls on Instagram, I thought, “If you want to get neighbors to comment on your yard, this is how you do it.”

Drip irrigation systems make sense on a number of levels. Because you’re watering exactly where you need to, you’re watering as much as 70% less. That’s because, as you hand water, a lot of what you’re watering is the tops of plants, which generally don’t need or benefit from it. Plants need water at the roots, which…

Tech startup Telly is making a a huge bet: The company’s business model involves giving away a dual-screen, 55”, 4K TV, plus a sound-bar and a teleconferencing camera, music software, games, and more, to the first half a million people who ask for one. Free tech? Score!

Here’s the Telly link if you’re interested, but…

A fine dessert doesn’t always have to be elaborate, or even pretend to be. There’s something a bit fancy about a sweet that owns its simplicity, and parades around in its thrown-togetherness. This four-ingredient crisp is proud, confident, and simultaneously nothing special (in a girl-next-door, no-makeup sort of…

As much as I like the idea of affirmations, I’ve never felt anything but corny when saying “I can do it!” or any of the other types of positive self-talk that are supposed to motivate me. I have a pair of shoes with “I am enough” printed on the insoles, and I get inexplicably angry anytime I read that message. It…

If you’re overwhelmed, intimidated, or frustrated by your to-do list or daily routine, this tiny trick might help. You just need to think a little lazier.

Reducing food waste is an important issue that many people care about, but even the most combative eco-warrior would hesitate to chug a glass of past-its-prime milk. Would a large percentage of those naysayers eat a beautifully plated wedge of spoiled milk (cheese)? Absolutely, myself included.

You can baby your new phone all you want, but sometimes, shit just breaks. Case or no case, screen protector or not—one bad fall marks doom for your Pixel. Traditionally, the move has been to take a broken phone to a repair shop, or the company that made it. But like more and more companies slowly but surely, Google…
