Spotlight

Welcome To IKEA!

If you live near an IKEA, you already think you’re getting a great deal (and you are because their furniture is fairly cheap). But did you know that you can save even more money? Request price adjustments, look out for their weekly specials and even score a free meal with a furniture purchase. [Do You Remember?]

Life Hack Of The Day: Chia Seed Edition

Add chia seeds to your water before or while flying. The chia seeds retain water and keep you hydrated.

Power Up

Is Butter A Carb?

Ever wonder why your friend can put away an entire pizza and still look amazing while you take one bite of bread and puff up like a balloon? Some people have “carb resistance,” which means you might be sensitive to how the bread impacts your insulin levels. But no worries, it’s not diabetes! [Swirled]

Gooooood Morning!

If you wake up on the right side of the bed bright and early every morning, you’re doing more than just improving your mood. Being a morning person also strengthens your immune system and even helps repair your bones and muscles. [Swirled]

CV-Yessssss

Not that we necessarily had a favorite drugstore before, but we just might now. CVS is officially delivering prescriptions to your door, which means no more schlepping to the pharmacy. [Daily Journal]

Get It Done

I App-rove

We all need to get our finances in order (even if some of us think we have it down). Instead of going it alone, download a financial planning app like PocketGuard. The free app helps you break down your financial goals into daily actions and gives you a budget to follow for easy saving. [Swirled]

Skills, Skills, Skills

Getting ahead at work doesn’t have to mean revamping what you’re currently doing. Claire Wasserman, founder of Ladies Get Paid, says learn how to negotiate but think beyond salary numbers and apply the practice to every aspect of your life. Always strive for what you deserve! [Nutritious Life]

Savor Each Bite

That’s Cheesy

What’s better than a good ol’ bagel and cream cheese? A bagel and flavored cream cheese, of course! You could buy it at the store or just make your own at home by spreading the cream cheese into a thin layer, adding some of your fave ingredients and then mixing it all together. [Swirled]

Spice It Up

If we had to say how long we’ve had our spices, our answer would be a long time. Don’t know when you picked up that chili powder? All spices should be replaced within 12 months — not because they go bad, but because they lose their potency over time. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Kick it old school by making some French toast sticks for one. All you need is some sandwich bread, eggs, milk and some optional vanilla and cinnamon, and you’ll have a bomb one-person brunch ready in less than 10 minutes. [Yammie’s Noshery]

Pack Your Bags

A Pawsome Opportunity

Love all things fluffy, cuddly and cute? You can use your pet-sitting experience to score free travel. Websites like TrustedHousesitters.com offer free lodging to sitters who are willing to care for someone’s home and pets while they travel. Pretty sweet, right? [Swirled]

Let’s Unpack That

Traveling with a small bag usually means stuffing all your necessities into whatever you’re carrying until (nearly) everything fits. Take the frustration out of packing by rolling your clothes, placing thinner fabrics in between thicker fabrics and filling your shoes with items to save space. [Swirled]

It’s A Toy Story Thing

Are you as amped as we are for the opening of Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Open to the public on June 30, the park will feature larger-than-life rides like the neon Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers, paired with original music for a classic feel. [Travel+Leisure]
