Up Your Health Game

What’s For Dinner?

Eating dinner with your friends and family is super important for your health, according to science. In addition to helping you develop a positive relationship with food, sharing a meal with loved ones can make you feel less lonely and boost your emotional well-being in a big way. Bring on those dinner plans! [Swirled]

Let’s Talk About Pills, Baby

Missed your birth control pill? Don’t panic. To stay in the clear, take it as soon as you remember, or double up the next day if it’s been more than 24 hours. If you miss more than two pills in a row, backup birth control is the name of the game. [Swirled]

Throw In The Towel

When it comes to washing your workout gear, less is definitely more. Opt for cold water, use an organic (or gentle) detergent and ditch the fabric softener. Most important of all, air dry, air dry, air dry! [Yoga Lifestyles]

Live Like A Boss

Time To Face The Music

Cue that chill down your spine. Facebook, Instagram and other social networks know about your hometown, your political affiliations and your frequented locations — among a lot of other personal details. To keep your info secure, check your privacy settings and see which apps are accessing your data. Stay vigilant, friends! [Swirled]

Kill It With Kindness

Saying “thank you” is the best way to handle negative feedback, according to thought leader Adam Grant. Although it’s not fun to deal with, handling criticism like a boss will boost your professionalism and help you make the changes you need to get ahead. [Inc.]

Wedding Bills Are Ringing

Feel like you need a second paycheck to keep up with wedding season? Well, you’re not far off. A new survey from Tendr shows that wedding guests spend an average of $372 to attend a wedding, and that can go up to $728 if you’re in the bridal party. Time to start a wedding fund! [CNBC]

Frappy Hour

The catch: It’s only available to customers who receive an invite through the Starbucks app. [Swirled]

Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese

Hold on to your plates! Berlin-based Italian restaurant Vadoli Pizzeria has created the world’s cheesiest pizza, and it’s topped with 111 different kinds of cheese. Yep, you read that right! Packed with gooey goodness, this cheesy creation isn’t much larger than a standard pie, but it has truly out-of-this-world flavor. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Salmon burgers with avo salsa are the bomb, and you can make them in under 30 minutes. Perfectly seasoned and totally delish, these babies are a great addition to your midweek dinner lineup. [Cooktoria]

Emotional Roller Coaster

Ready for a thrill ride? “The Walking Dead” roller coaster in England’s Thorpe Park might be the spookiest roller coaster in the world.

Further down the list, San Fran, Boston and NYC are repping for the USA. [Swirled]
