Up Your Health Game

May The Floss Be With You

If you’re struggling with cavities, dry mouth could be to blame. The reason? Saliva is responsible for keeping the bad, plaque-causing bacteria at bay, so when you’re underproducing it, tooth decay can become an even bigger problem than it has to be. Using zero-alcohol mouthwash, staying hydrated and avoiding caffeine can help you nip the problem in the bud. [Swirled]

Find Your Solemate

In the market for a new pair of kicks? Getting a gait analysis at your local shoe store could help you find the perfect pair and help you avoid injuries during your workouts. Best of all, it’s totally free. Your feet will thank you — we promise. [Swirled]

Oil’s Well That Ends Well

Castor oil is one of the oldest natural medicines around and it could help improve your health in a variety of ways. Smooth it on your skin to soothe rashes and sore muscles or put a few drops in your smoothie if you’re looking for an immunity boost. Word to the wise: Taking too much can lead to stomach pain and dizziness, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you start. [mindbodygreen]

Live Like A Boss

Mindset For Success

Leaders in the workplace have something in common: They have a growth mindset, according to a study conducted by Google. The concept is simple — believe that you can cultivate skills and intelligence over time, and great results will follow. Did someone say promotion? [Inc.]

Virtually There

You’ve probably never heard of virtual career fairs, but they could help you snag your next gig. Targeted to professionals across multiple industries, virtual fairs are a great way to get noticed and to “meet” recruiters you might not otherwise have access to. And, you can do it from the comfort of your own couch. [Forbes]

Pop The (Salary) Question

“What’s your salary?” might be an illegal question in certain cities and states, but plenty of hiring managers and recruiters still ask it. The key to handling it gracefully is to know your worth and what the role entails. Offer the hiring manager a range based on your desired salary, then work with them to come up with a salary that’s right for you. [The Muse]

Savor Each Bite

Healthy Alcohol, You Don’t Say?

Kombrewcha, the first hard kombucha brand to hit stores, is a fizzy fermented tea with naturally occurring alcohol with an ABV of 3.2 percent. As far as taste is concerned, this boozy health drink falls somewhere in between a beer and a cider. This may be the healthiest way to get your buzz on. [Swirled]

Oat So Good

Oat milk is the new kid on the non-dairy milk block and friends, it’s delicious and the perfect addition to anything from cappuccinos to smoothies. Oat milk is creamier than nut milk and it reaches that perfect level of foaminess you want in your coffee. Amp it up with a little vanilla or salt if you want to go the savory route. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Hosting brunch this weekend? Packed with flavor and plenty of spice, these huevos rancheros are sure to be a hit. [Cookie and Kate]

Pack Your Bags

Simply Jawesome

Underwater scootering looks ridiculous, but you’re going to be obsessed with it. Think a science experiment turned tourist activity. Your head stays dry underwater in a bubble helmet contraption that’s filled with O2 as you propel past the fishies. [Swirled]

Down By The Bay

Halong Bay is named “where the dragon descends to the sea” and it’s so uniquely beautiful that it feels like magical creatures could fly overhead without anyone blinking an eye. Located on Northern Vietnam’s Gulf of Tonkin, the traveler-favorite bay is definitely worth a trip. [Swirled]

Deal Of The Day

The Philippines are calling your name and you can snag a roundtrip flight from LA to Manila for just $627. Time to check this island paradise off your list. [LA Times]
