iPhone A Friend

Apple’s annual developer conference produced more insane innovations than ever before. The highlight? The iOS 12 update, which includes features like group FaceTime, new animoji (animated emoji) and, naturally, performance improvements — even for older phones. [Tech Crunch]

Life Hack Of The Day: Vacay Edition

You can get $100 off vacation packages through Delta if you book your trip during your birthday month.

Power Up

That’s Sick

If you’re feeling under the weather, it’s important to know what foods to avoid. Those with sore throats should stay away from crunchy snacks and chocolate with artificial sweeteners. Have congestion issues? Milk can make your symptoms worse by thickening the mucus in your system. Cute, we know. [Swirled]

Shawty Got Low, Low, Low

You’ve probably seen low-fat versions of all your favorite foods on supermarket shelves, but cutting down on fat too much might not be a smart choice. A study found that people with high-fat diets had a 33 percent lower chance of death than those on low-fat diets. Note: We recommend going for good fats like avos!  [Swirled]

Plants 4 Life

Going vegan can do more for the world than just save animals and make people feel good. According to a recent study, worldwide veganism could actually stop global warming in its tracks. [MSN]

Live Like A Boss

Link Me In

Intimidated by LinkedIn? We got you. Get the most out of the professional platform by changing your personal URL so it’s easier to find, trying a free month of the recruiter feature and signing up for job alerts to make sure you’re the first to know about seriously cool opportunities. [Swirled]

My Heart!

We all know that our stressful jobs wreak havoc on our health, but it gets worse. Research linked anxiety-inducing work with heart rhythm disorders. So, what can you do? Take a few deep breaths each day and assess whether your job is worth all that stress. [WRIC]

Savor Each Bite

Home-Brewed

Coffee snobs, listen up. You can make a killer cup of coffee at home. To amp up the flavor, pour boiling water over your freshly ground coffee beans sitting in the filter before you brew them. You’ll notice the granules expanding, which makes a huge difference in how your brew ultimately tastes. [Swirled]

Oh Heyyy, Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A lovers, you might know the special sauce recipe like the back of your hand, but did you know that the chain claims to have invented the chicken sandwich as we know it? Even crazier: It’s the largest purchaser of Sunkist lemons in the world. (Their lemonade is bomb, BTW.) [Swirled]

I Sea, You Sea

Love seafood? Take a trip to Alaska, which was ranked the best state to find quality seafood. Sustainable fishing is legit written into the state’s constitution, and the fishing laws are taken seriously. You don’t have to miss out on the fish fest by staying local, either — you can find Alaskan fish in most grocery stores. [mindbodygreen]

Pack Your Bags

Sweet Dreams, Traveler

One of the biggest inconveniences about travel is the inability to sleep comfortably. Thankfully, there are things you can do. Use lavender oil, which is a natural relaxant, bring a sleep mask to counteract jet lag and listen to white noise, which is proven to help people sleep more soundly. [Swirled]

Parlez-Vous Français?

If you think French fairy tales begin and end with “Beauty and the Beast,” think again. The walled city of Carcassonne, which is situated on the southern coast of France, looks like a medieval fantasy. Between the charming cobblestone streets and quiet charm, this city has it all. [Swirled]

Get Some Air

Sure, the nearest airport gets you from A to B, but does it have its own amusement park? Singapore’s Changi Airport is scheduled to open the wild attraction amidst terminals in 2019, making it the most entertaining airport in the world. Oh, and it also has a garden maze. [Travel + Leisure]
