Weekend Edition

1. R&R: Shower Bombs

Don’t have time for an indulgent soak in the bathtub? Don’t sweat it — a shower bomb can make your speedy routine just as relaxing. Shower bombs are smaller than the bath bombs we’ve come to know and love, but they’re still loaded with aromatherapeutic essential oils that diffuse into the steamy air at the perfect rate.

2. Workout of the Week: Wall Squats

The wall squat is a great supported squat variation that most exercisers can handle and benefit from completing every so often. Bracing your back against a wall provides stability as you train your quads to hold your bodyweight isometrically for as long as it can. Talk about instant toning. [Swirled]

5. App Of The Week: Newchip

If you want to invest money in the next big thing, download Newchip. This app aggregates cool startups looking to raise money with a Tinder-like app experience of swiping right on the ones you like. Some even have minimum investments of just $50 or $100, so it’s affordable, too. [Swirled]

6. Life Hack Of The Day: Hairspray Edition

Get lipstick stains off clothes by spraying hairspray on the stain, letting sit for a few minutes and washing it with warm water.

7. What to Eat: Italian Egg Scramble

Brunch it up this weekend by making a super easy Italian egg scramble. With some cherry tomatoes, spinach, a pinch of spices and Parmesan cheese, you’ve got an elevated scrambled egg breakfast that tastes restaurant-worthy on a budget. [Swirled]

8. What To Buy: Fluffy Electric Heated Blanket

It’s about that time of year when you just want to hide under a blanket and keep cozy, and we love a good electric heated blanket. Our pick even turns off automatically in case you fall asleep. [Amazon]

9. Dream Destination: Iceland

After exploring Iceland in January, we can’t recommend it enough as a winter trip. Between the idyllic snowy landscapes, cozy coffee shops and frozen waterfalls that look straight out of a cartoon, Iceland is spectacular in the colder months. [Swirled]

10. Wild Card: No Sweethearts Candy This Valentine’s Day

Hey, Sweethearts lovers, you’ll have to get through this upcoming Valentine’s Day without the iconic candy. The candy’s parent, New England Confectionery Co., went out of business, which means there will be one less way to say “I love you” this year. [USA Today]
