Spotlight
Obsessed with the beloved peanut butter-chocolate flavor combination? Us, too. So much so that we decided to compile 12 of the most decadent Reeseâs dessert recipes out there.
Our Favorite: The flourless chocolate peanut butter cup cake wins our hearts in every way. Just look at this baby [emoji]! Itâs absolutely loaded with PB and chocolate, layer after layer. Bonus: Itâs naturally gluten-free, so more friends can enjoy it with you (which is necessary because itâs huge).
Pro Tip: Since the cake is flourless, really focus your effort on beating the sugar and eggs at a high speed so that they double in volume before you pour your batter into the cooking pans. That airy feel is what keeps your cake on the fluffier side, as opposed to collapsing into a seriously dense slab of fudge. That would still be delicious, but itâs not what weâre going for here.

Add some salt to your pan before cooking anything to keep oil from splattering.
Health
Certain healthy foods can make your birth control pill less effective. If you use an estrogen-based oral contraceptive, be mindful of how often you eat both alfalfa and flaxseed (especially in supplement form). These foods can act like estrogen when theyâre broken down by your digestive system, which can weaken the effectiveness of your pill. [Swirled]

Did You Know? Celebrities can be pretty woke when it comes to financial advice. Singer Ed Sheeran is worth $37 million but restricts himself to a modest monthly allowance to avoid any potential overspending. He says if you use your money in a humble way and limit yourself (within reason) on a daily basis, youâll have very little to worry about when it comes to cash. [Swirled]

Ithaca, New York is overflowing with fall hiking spots.

For impressive cascades, check out Taughannock Falls State Park, and for a chilly dip in the fresh mountain water, try Potterâs Falls. Happy adventuring! [Swirled]
Quote Of The Day: âTraveling is only expensive when itâs as convenient as possible. Youâre paying for convenience when you book a flight on a specific day, non-stop, first-class, and with a beverage included. All that sounds great, but if a commercial ticket on the cheapest flying date of the week (Tuesday) could manage its way on your schedule, choose that instead!â â travel influencer Gloria Atanmo [Swirled]
