I don’t know about you, but I love to round out a meal or snack with something fruity. While a bowl of pineapple chunks or cup of peach yogurt, for example, are definitely a couple of my staples, there’s great things to be said about switching it up. And where better to look for inspiration than your favorite childhood treats?

Pilates—the low-impact, core-centric exercise method—is having a moment. Yes, the slow, controlled movements are challenging and can fire up your abs in just minutes (just try the Pilates hundred!) But even if Pilates is your go-to workout, don’t ditch your weightlifting or cardio routine just yet. While a...

For the majority of my life, I’ve been a ‘no talkie before coffee’ kind of gal. I also always make sure to give my coffee ample time to kick in before starting work, as my focus isn’t as sharp without a solid dose of caffeine streaming through my system.

If someone asked what you had for breakfast, you might imagine maple syrup drizzled on a stack of pancakes or the satisfying crunch of granola topped with fruit. Perhaps you remember these details because breakfast wasn’t that long ago, or you tend to eat these foods regularly. For people with hyperphantasia, recollections of breakfasts from months or even years ago can be so vivid that it’s almost like having actual pancakes right in front of them.

No two groups seem to be as polar opposite as feminists and tradwives—that is, the "traditional wives" of social media who tend to preach submissiveness in marriage and that "a woman's place is in the home." But oddly enough, the two camps have lately collided at an uncanny meeting point: childbirth. And more specifically, unmedicated childbirth.

New research from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that sealed bottles of tattoo and permanent makeup ink can contain millions of potentially dangerous bacteria—even those bottles that have been labeled "sterile."

Whenever my dogs accidentally bump their heads on the coffee table, I swear I can feel the pain radiating through my skull. It’s either a sign of empathy or that I’m an over-protective dog mom, but most likely a combination of the two. Empathy is the ability to imagine yourself in someone’s place and understand what they’re experiencing. People with a neurological condition called mirror-touch synesthesia, however, aren't just cringing at the thought of pain. They’re actually experiencing it.

Sure, Keurig machines are known for making fast, easy brews.

Interior design is not my strong suit. With two kids, an 80-pound dog, and a scratch-obsessed cat, I choose functionality over style when picking out furniture. My husband jokes, “This is why we can’t have nice things,” when the dog knocks over a lamp or the kids spill their drinks on the rug. In the 12 years we’ve been parents, my husband and I have gone through several reasonably priced couches—all comfy to sit on…and just plain. Finding a sofa that balances durability, comfort, and style felt impossible (unless you're willing to spend big money on it). The constant wear and tear had left our old couch in shambles, so I jumped at the opportunity when Albany Park offered me a new sofa to review. Was this my chance to transform my run-of-the-mill living room into a stylish yet comfortable haven?

As an apartment dweller, I'm a proud member of the Anti-Clutter Club. So, two years ago, when my husband and I were creating our wedding registry, we had one rule: whatever we put on the list needed to be something we'd use at least once a month. That meant no single-use appliances (ugh, but I do still want an ice cream maker) and definitely nothing that would take up precious countertop real estate because it was too big to be stowed away. When it came to curating our dream kitchen gear, the KitchenAid Mini Food Chopper ($60) seemed to fit both criteria, so it went on the registry.

Although you might assume all eyes have been on Glen Powell during the tornado of media coverage for his summer blockbuster, “Twisters,” there's been another kind of red carpet scene-stealer: Powell's dog, Brisket. That’s right—the star of the promo tour doesn’t even have a cameo in the film. But the Papillon-looking mix served a crucial role for the actor while he was shooting in Oklahoma.

If you keep seeing TikToks about "moon face" or "cortisol face" and are wondering what the heck that means, well, welcome to the club. I was confused myself until I recently went down a social media rabbit hole, where I discovered videos (with thousands of views, BTW) of people showing their swollen, puffy faces and blaming too-high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. After sharing tales of woe, and a few "before" and "after" pics, many posters end their videos with not-so-discreet callouts to buy their ebook, use their products, or "learn more at the link in bio," so viewers can get rid of their moon face, too.

It’s Friday night and your partner asks you where you want to go for dinner. There’s a new Italian spot you want to check out, but you respond, “You pick,” hoping that your SO will know to suggest it. Instead, you end up going to their favorite restaurant, which you dislike, begrudgingly. Sound familiar? If so, you may be relying too heavily on a passive communication style to express your wants and needs.

6 Signs Your Passive Communication Style Is Holding You Back—and How to Ask for What You Need

My family raises chickens and I love having eggs readily available. But egg management is a big deal, even farm-fresh eggs can go bad. As a chicken farmer, I’ve learned the hard way. If you’ve ever cracked a bad egg, you know that the smell is horrific. Nothing brings on a spell of gagging quite like a rotten egg.
