Out Of This World

While we hope to see some wild space discoveries in our lifetimes, NASA’s new travel bureau gives us 360-degree tours of distant planets without ever leaving home. That means we can creep on Mars the same way we scope out neighborhoods on Google Earth. [Smithsonian Magazine]

This Food Will Not Be Tolerated!

Studies show that 10 percent of Americans have food intolerances but don’t know it. Yikes. Not sure if you’re allergic to any foods? Know the symptoms, which include a stomach ache, bloating, gas and irritable bowels. Foods that contain sulfites, caffeine and soy are the most common instigators. [Swirled]

Drink, Drank, Stuffed

If you usually snack after a fun night out, pump the brakes. A recent study found that those who ate after drinking out consumed approximately 760 more calories than those who didn’t. If that number isn’t terrifying, we honestly don’t know what is. [Swirled]

I’m Hangryyy

Are you inconsolable at your hungriest? Science could explain why some people experience hanger and others don’t. DNA testing company 23andMe found two genetic variants consistent with those who reported the negative feeling, meaning it could just be in your genes. [Business Insider]

Live Like A Boss

If There’s A Will…

Tapping into your inner strength could make all the difference, but how do you get there? Try reading an empowering book, like Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art,” which suggests that simply visualizing the word “resistance” can help you say “no” when you need to. [Swirled]

On Your Toes

Finding any upsides about anxiety is a feat in itself, but believe us — they exist. One really great pro to anxiety? Science says people who suffer from it are better at their jobs because they’re hyper-aware, triple-check their work and are especially sensitive to others’ needs. [Greatist]

“There’s Free Food In The Kitchen”

Don’t touch those donuts on the free table! Research shows that those who regularly dig into office snacks eat 1,300 calories more per week on average than those who say, “No thanks!” Wow, we’re rethinking our entire lives over here. [Fortune]

Savor Each Bite

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Coffee

Thrown off? Hear us out. Coffee lemonade is taking the nation by storm and might just be your new go-to summer drink. The beverage tastes like a cold brew that’s been zinged with bright citrus. Now that’s something we can get behind. [Swirled]

Waste Not, Want Not

If you want to be eco-friendly while still enjoying your food, we got you. For starters, use the tops and stems of your vegetables to make stock instead of throwing them out, and organize your fridge like a grocery store — store the older foods in front to avoid forgetting about them. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Revamp your boring Tuesday night dinner by making a killer side, like crispy baked potato wedges. The recipe takes under 30 minutes and will leave you wanting more starch than ever before. [Cookie and Kate]

Pack Your Bags

Dive Right In

Skydivers, you won’t want to miss some of the wildest locations for living out your adrenaline-pumping dreams. Skydive Hawaii, for example, offers drops ranging from 12,000 feet to a whopping 20,000 feet, flying at 120 miles per hour. The view of the ocean, though? Worth the hype. [Swirled]

Bring On The Beach Vibes

As if a beach vacay isn’t amazing enough, imagine a private beach vacay. You can stay in the ultimate bungalow Airbnb, which is located in Santa Catarina, Brazil, and enjoy your one-on-one time with the sea. Invite up to seven of your friends and enjoy that panoramic view of the ocean. [Swirled]
