So Frappy

Bless the Starbucks gods! The coffee chain just released a strawberry Frappuccino, your soon-to-be summer fave. The drink includes fresh strawberry purée, Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino mixture and vanilla whipped cream. [Swirled]

Life Hack Of The Day: Search Edition

Scan a room from right to left when looking for something. Your brain will pick up on it faster since it doesn’t read that way.

Power Up

Don’t Hate, Meditate

If you’re interested in trying meditation, take some time to figure out  what kind works best for you (because yes, there are many types of meditation). Beginners should try breath awareness, which helps you become more in tune to yourself, while those who love routine should try transcendental meditation. [Swirled]

Yeah, I Lift

Strength training is a great way to tone up, but it’s sometimes unclear how much is necessary to see results. You should be working out each muscle group at least twice a week with heavy enough weights that you struggle to finish two sets of 12 reps. Got it? Good. Get swol. [Swirled]

All The Pastabilities

Whether you’re voluntarily (or involuntarily) choosing to steer clear of pasta, we may have found your perfect alternative. Sources say chickpea pasta, which is obviously gluten-free and has half the carbs of whole wheat noodles, is legitimately delicious. Bonus: It has 25 grams of protein. [Business Insider]

Caps Off To You

How many items of clothing would you say you have? Yeah, we probably have hundreds. Consider investing in a capsule wardrobe, which is a group of 20 to 30 items of quality, long-lasting clothing, to save money and space. [Swirled]

Retired Out

Millennials may get a lot of crap for not affording mortgages and fleeing jobs quicker than previous generations, but there’s one thing we’re getting right: retirement. Studies show that millennials are preparing for retirement much sooner than older folks did. [PR Newswire]

Break Out The Piggy Bank

Forget savings accounts (well, don’t forget, but table) — your childhood piggy bank could come in handy for some serious savings. Breaking your savings into three separate piggy banks (one for fun, one long-term goals and one for retirement) could help you save faster. [Entrepreneur]

Savor Each Bite

Buzzed On Disney

Love Disney? Love beer? Love sorbet? Bam — your wildest dreams are coming true. Disneyland just launched a new beer and sorbet Mich-Helado cocktail that combines the two concepts into an Instagrammable (and delicious) bevvy. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Toss the boring desk salad you planned to bring to work and make a sun dried tomato cannellini bean salad instead. Packed with flavor from the tomato and protein from the beans, you’ll actually look forward to opening your Tupperware. [A Saucy Kitchen]

Pack Your Bags

Port Of Entry

If you’re looking for a vacay filled with lots of wine and stunning views, head to Portugal and stay at the Douro Valley villa, where all your dreams will come true. Equipped with a swimming pool, multiple bedrooms, a basement full of wine and views for days, you’ll be in heaven. [Swirled]

Smart Travel

Traveling the world involves more than just seeing the sights. If you want to learn more about the places you’re visiting, take a tip from Ann Morgan, who gave a TED talk on reading a book from every country in the world. She said the commitment opened her eyes to the world in new ways. [Swirled]

Code Red

Airline lingo can be confusing if you’re not a pilot or flight attendant. Thankfully, a pilot decoded some of the phrases for your perusal. For example, “all-call” means every flight staffer should return to their station while “final approach” means the flight’s almost over. [Travel + Leisure]
