Can I Take Your Order?

Eating a salad after your main meal could help your digestion and improve your overall dining experience. Two great benefits: It can make your wine taste better and it curbs your dessert cravings (by a lot). Go ahead, be European! [Swirled]

Smell Ya Later!

Garlic breath might be a pain to deal with, but the benefits of eating garlic far outweigh the temporary inconvenience. Having a clove or two on the reg can boost your immunity, zap your acne and help you control your weight.

You (Pe)Can Do It

Texting with your hands could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to new technology that can basically read your mind.

The future is now, friends! [TechRadar]

If you struggle to pay your bills on time, you’re not alone.

I Won’t Give Up On You

Jealous of your superstar coworker? Don’t be. New studies show that high performers aren’t as resilient when it comes to challenges, especially if they have to contend with high expectations from others. Looks like being an overachiever isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. [Quartz]

Savor Each Bite

Deal Or No Deal?

Ever wonder which grocery store items are worth splurging on? A good rule of thumb is to go generic for basics like pasta, milk and frozen produce, and opt for brand names when it comes to fancier foods like meat, eggs, coffee and ice cream. Your wallet will thank you. [Swirled]

Love You A Waffle Lot

Did you know that there are two national holidays dedicated to celebrating waffles? Or that frozen waffles were invented in 1953?

Adult-only camps are a thing and they’re pretty damn outrageous.
