The Best Food You’re Not Eating

If you haven’t eaten Georgian cuisine, you’re missing out on the best food in all of Eastern Europe. Think gooey cheese, warm bread, soup dumplings and perfectly spiced cucumber salad, all accompanied by excellent local wine. Yum. [Swirled]

Life Hack Of The Day: Tupperware Edition

Throw a pinch of salt in empty Tupperware containers to keep them from getting stinky.

Power Up

Fit Foodie

Posting photos of your food on social media might be doing wonders for your health goals. According to research, documenting your daily meals allows you to track your progress and, yes, show off a little to your family and friends. Win-win. [Swirled]

Get Eggcited!

Not all eggs are created equal. If you’re trying to decide how to fix your breakfast plate, keep in mind that hard-boiled eggs are low in carbs and high in protein, while scrambled eggs require a little extra oil to cook, upping their total fat content. Turns out, how you eat eggs matters for your health. [Swirled]

Go With Your Gut

The inner workings of your gut affect your entire body — even your mental health. Doctors are beginning to understand that there’s a clear connection between intestinal health and disorders like depression and anxiety. And, in some cases, gut health might even be causing these mental health conditions. [Greatist]

Get It Done

Take That Vacay

You get vacation days for a reason — to use them! But nearly 60 percent of American workers under the age of 25 aren’t spending all of their paid vacation days OOO. What’s worse, a quarter of those workers say they won’t end up using any of them. And, FYI: Research shows that’s a legit problem for your health. [Swirled]

No Playing Hooky

It’s super tempting to take a mental health day during the summer and head to the beach, but while your coworkers give in to the call of the warm weather, you can impress your boss at the office. Summer can actually be the best time to snag a promotion for that exact reason. [NBC News]

Feelin’ So Loanly

We know young adults aren’t saving enough money for emergencies, but did you know that the main reason why they don’t is student loans? It’s true. More than 50 percent of millennials say they can’t set aside money for savings while paying their student loan bills. [The Motley Fool]

Savor Each Bite

Snacking Secrets

So many junk foods are surprisingly vegan, such as Duncan Hines cake mixes and frostings, Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch cereal, Lay’s barbecue potato chips and even Oreos. Go crazy, vegan friends! [Swirled]

Rosé (Cocktails) All Day

Ready to step up your beachside cocktail game this summer? We’re sipping on rosé sangria (wine with peaches, raspberries, strawberries and fresh mint) and mimosa floats (wine with orange juice, Triple Sec and vanilla ice cream). We all need some new drinks in our beachside rotation. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Nothing beats a classic meatball in a big bowl of spaghetti. But these awesome meatballs are made with chicken instead of beef (with breadcrumbs and parmesan), and they’re 100 percent better than the classic. Sub in zoodles for pasta for an additional healthy twist! [Swirled]

Pack Your Bags

Sweet Tea, Please

Thinking of taking a road trip through the Southern United States? We have your route all planned. Starting in Charlotte, hit Asheville, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston and then Myrtle Beach for a week-long taste of Southern excellence. [Swirled]

¡Vamanos a San Juan!

You don’t even need a passport to enjoy this tropical trip to Puerto Rico. From the U.S., roundtrip flights to San Juan are just $97 in August. It’s official — we’re jetting to the beach ASAP. [The Points Guy]
