Your toothbrush is legit one of the grossest things you own. To keep that breeding ground of germs in check, the American Dental Association suggests that you get into the habit of swapping it out every three months. Ick factor aside, there’s another important reason for consistently replacing your brush. You actually wear down the bristles over time (which is why they splay out to the sides) and that decreases the effectiveness of your brushing routine. [Swirled]
Life Hack Of The Day: Sharpie Edition
Write this way, please. Before you toss a dried-up Sharpie marker in the trash, try this hack. Place the tip in a shallow bowl of rubbing alcohol for a few minutes until the ink begins to bleed out. Then put the cap back on the marker and wait 15 minutes. It should be as good as new!
Health
Exfoliating too much strips your skin of its natural oils that it needs to stay balanced. Keep your scrubbing routine to just two or three times a week, and for the best results, try these three steps. Use a natural scrub like fine coffee grounds to remove dead skin cells, a fruit enzyme exfoliant to dissolve dead skin cells and then a generous layer of pure argan oil to seal in moisture and let your refreshed skin glow.

You don’t need any fancy equipment to poach eggs to perfection at home. All you need is a tall cooking pot, a small cup or bowl and a slotted spoon. Adding vinegar to the simmering water before cooking the egg will ensure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of your pot and that it takes that classic spherical shape of restaurant-worthy poached eggs.

Recipe Of The Day: Seriously, is there anything better than cheese and bread? How about cheese in bread? Simply mix flour and yeast and spice it up with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and lots of cheddar cheese cubes. Add water until a sticky dough forms and let it rest for at least 12 hours. Then turn the dough out, punch it down, let it rest for another 20 minutes and bake. Get ready for the most drool-worthy bread ever! [Bev Cooks]

Travel

Visit Bilbao, Spain instead of Barcelona for a similar funky, artistic spirit. Or skip Venice in favor of Annecy, France, where you can enjoy quieter canal strolls and equally charming cafes.
