TSA Trick

It’s the worst when you have to throw out a perfectly good drink passing through airport security. No longer, friends! If you want to bring that juice with you, just freeze it. As long as it’s a solid, the TSA will let you bring it through, according to its official rules. [Travel + Leisure]

Life Hack Of The Day: Watering Can Edition

Turn an old milk jug into a watering can by poking holes in the cap.

Power Up

Holy Basil!

While the OG basil can spruce up sauces and salads, consider buying holy basil for your wellness needs. The plant is popular in India to treat colds and strains of the flu. It’s also a natural antiseptic, as well as a protector of your digestive system. [Swirled]

Brrr, It’s Cold In Here!

If you’re one of those people who can’t survive the workday without bundling up, you may legitimately have a temperature allergy. The condition, called urticaria, is rare and manifests as a skin reaction to suddenly cold temps. [Swirled]

Sneaky Clean

Runners, take note! Your sneakers probably smell pretty bad after hitting the pavement over and over. Keep them clean by wearing fresh socks every time, using cleaning products specifically for sneakers and sprinkling baking soda inside each shoe after each workout. [Well+Good]

Live Like A Boss

Hey, Roomie!

Finding roommates you actually like can seem impossible if you don’t have the right resources. When in doubt, lean on apps like Roomiematch to help you locate your ideal roomie. On Roomiematch, you’ll create a profile reviewed by real people and matched with like-minded apartment seekers. [Swirled]

Seal The Envelope

Need a quick solution to your money-saving issues? Throw your extra cash in an envelope each month and label it with what you’re saving for. You’re less likely to spend it if it’s not in your account and if you mark the purpose of the envelope clearly, you’ll remind yourself of your priorities. [NBC]

Check, Please

While we’re not spared harassment for buying too many avos, we millennials are the most likely generation to pick up the check for a group, according to research. More than a quarter of millennials reported having done so without any issues. Thanks, Venmo! [CBS]

Savor Each Bite

My Big Fat Greek Yogurt Addiction

While we all have our favorite frozen treats, it’s time to try Yasso. The Greek yogurt bars come in 16 flavors and naturally pack in six grams of protein, while keeping the calorie count around 130. Our advice? Go for the chocolate peanut butter chip! [Swirled]

Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat

Here’s the thing about plant-based meat alternatives…they’re not known for tasting like the real deal. So, prepare to be pleasantly surprised by products out there that taste authentic AF. Beyond Meat, for example, rivals a real hamburger in flavor, texture and protein. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Make Monday simple and delicious with this one pot chicken and orzo meal. In 35 minutes or less, you’ll have a rich, garlicky dinner and only one pot to clean. [Simply Recipes]

Pack Your Bags

No Pictures, Please

Some world wonders are just too beautiful for words…and too high-profile for photos. You can actually get in trouble for taking pics of favorite destinations like Westminster Abbey. Once you’re inside the church, no photos allowed or you’ll be forced to leave. And believe it or not, that’s the case with the Eiffel Tower in Paris.  [Swirled]

Disney-Worthy

Some of the world’s most beautiful wonders look straight out of a Disney movie, and the Gergeti Trinity Church in Georgia (the country) is a prime example. Nestled against the massive, snow-capped Caucasus Mountains, the church looks almost two-dimensional and cartoonishly gorgeous. [Swirled]
