1. Wild Card: Doritos

No matter how health-conscious you are, Doritos are one of the most iconic snack foods. They were actually invented at a restaurant within another American treasure — Disneyland. And while we’re partial to cool ranch, nacho cheese and flamin’ hot, Asian countries prefer more protein-based flavors — fried chicken, steak, sesame chicken and crab. [Swirled]

2. Life Hack Of The Day: Coffee Edition

If you want a cup of joe but don’t have a coffee maker, scoop the grounds into a filter, tie it with some flavorless dental floss and use it like a tea bag in hot water.

3. Workout Of The Week: Hip Flexor Stretch With Chair

Begin in a standing position with one leg resting on a table or chair and the leg to be stretched standing on the ground. Keeping your back straight and upright, squeeze your bottom, bend the knee of your leg on the chair and slowly shift your weight forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your hip. Hold for 30 seconds. Pro tip: Keep your hips and shoulders facing forward and don’t arch your lower back. [Swirled]

4. What To Watch: “Shrill”

Life isn’t always easy for full-figured millennial woman Annie. Between her career as a budding journalist with an insane boss and her dates with men who are far from boyfriend material, plus pressure from her thin-minded mother and society as a whole, Annie’s just trying to figure it all out while loving herself every step of the way. Watch ‘Shrill’ along with other shows and movies anytime, anywhere on Hulu. From current episodes and original series, to kid shows and hit movies, Hulu has something for everyone. [Hulu]
