Whether you receive a large package at your door, do a massive grocery haul, get a hefty bag of dog food delivered, or take out your trash, wouldn’t you agree it’d be helpful to have an assistant for these tasks? It’s not easy to carry heavier items, and sometimes they’re just too darn heavy. That’s where a foldable shopping cart comes in handy. And if you haven’t heard of these genius little devices before, take it from us: They’re extremely helpful.

As a small-space dweller, I love seeing how other renters optimize their apartments, either in TikTok videos or in Apartment Therapy’s House Tours. It’s true that the less space you have to work with, the more creative you get with how you use it. I’m always especially impressed by how people break up studios or apartments with open floor plans. Some place bookshelves in the middle of long rooms and adorn them with plants and other decor. Other people opt for curtains, which can give the apartment a breezy, ethereal feel. But if you’re looking to divide up your own space, you don’t necessarily have to go to such lengths to do it.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on January 24, 2020. It has since been updated. Everybody loves a story about an underdog who makes it in the end. While those stories are plenty in movies or books, they are so rare in real life. Sometimes, however, a story comes by that gives you hope again. This is one of those stories. When Jayvee Lazaro Badile II was just a baby, he was adopted by a rather poor couple in the Philippines. He didn't really have much to call his own when he was growing up, but he was thankful to have a loving family. They gave him a real chance at life. Now all grown up, he's become a successful businessman. So he decided to repay his parents with the life they'd always dreamed of.

Close friends know that I am a big-time chocolate-lover. If there’s no chocolate in the dessert you’re offering me, chances are high that I’ll politely decline. Even bigger than my enthusiasm for chocolate though, is my love for the specific combination of chocolate and peanut butter. This duo makes me weak in the knees and it truly came as a shock to me when I realized not everyone cares for it.

Although I’m never not in the mood to jump right into fall as soon as August hits, I’m trying to learn to appreciate the late summer and not rush through it. And these plates from Dollar Tree are helping me do just that. Spotted by a Dollar Tree Instagrammer, these gorgeous dishes would look so beautiful on a late summer dinner table and are totally leaning into the coastal, beachy aesthetic.

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

A teen who said she became a millionaire at 10 has revealed what her reality is like now — and it’s not what you think.

Isabella Barrett, now 17, was thrust into the spotlight at age five when her parents entered her into the show Toddlers and Tiaras. 

The teen millionaire

After that, she competed in beauty pageants across the US and became a model in her teens for brands such as Toys ‘R’ Us and Bergdorf Goodman. 

At just nine-years-old, Isabella launched a jewelry brand, Glitzy Girl, which turned her into one of the youngest self-made millionaires in the US.

A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

It's been 33 years since the handsome actor and Emmy award-winning TV game show host Bert Convy died of a brain tumor at 57 in 1991. This is his story. Bert Convy was born July 23, 1933, in St. Louis, Missouri. His father was in the shoe business, while his parents separated when he was just seven years old. His mother moved the family to California in the San Fernando Valley, where Convy attended North Hollywood High and was named the "class clown."

A few weeks ago, I tried something new: a guided hot sauna experience followed by a guided ice bath experience. The experience was hosted by a brand-new sauna and ice bath studio called Othership. Ice baths are just about everywhere right now. While cold plunges are nothing new, they’ve become something of a wellness trend among fitness influencers, CEOs, and celebrities.

As I’m sure many of you can relate to, 2020 was not a stellar year for my family. However, there was one major bright spot: We welcomed our pandemic pup, Marty the Malchi (a Maltese Chihuahua mix), home. Any dog owner can attest to the fact that bringing a pup into the fold does so much good for your household. The only downside is that if you don’t already have pet-friendly furniture, that fact will become abundantly clear very quickly.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
