Life Hack Of The Day: Impulse Purchase Edition

Thinking about buying something you don’t need? Imagine the item in one hand and money in the other — which would you rather have? That’s how you determine whether an impulse buy is worth it.

Up Your Health Game

Holy Shiitake!

Hold onto your stomachs! According to the FDA, canned mushrooms likely contain maggots — an average of 19 maggots per 3.5 ounce can, to be exact. While the maggots are harmless to your health, we suggest thinking twice about buying this pantry staple. When it comes to fruits and veggies, fresh produce is the way to go. [Swirled]

Shake Your Booch-Y

Want to boost your probiotic intake without taking a supplement? Kombucha can help. Packed with several types of probiotics, the fermented tea has a fizzy, refreshing taste and it can help significantly improve your gut flora. And there are many more reasons kombucha is all the rage. [Swirled]

Superfoods FTW

Upping your intake of superfoods could help you shed a few pounds, according to research. The ones to go for: Oats, black beans, avocados and salmon. They’re good sources of protein and fiber that can help you achieve your goals. [Swirled]

Location, Location, Location

The U.S. city where the highest percentage of women are thriving? Arlington, Virginia. A recent survey shows that women are more likely to own their own businesses and earn incomes over $75,000 if they live in a few key cities. Scottsdale, Arizona, Madison, Wisconsin, and San Francisco, California are other urban centers where women come out on top. [CNBC Make It]

Mind The (Wage) Gap

Closing the wage gap might be harder than previously thought. Projections from a study show that it could take up to 280 years to achieve gender parity in computer science, 258 years in physics and approximately 52 years in surgery. The time for change is now, friends. [Moneyish]
