I’ve tried dozens of basic tank tops from a myriad of brands, spending everything from $5 to (and I’m ashamed to admit) $50 to find my perfect fit. But last summer, I finally found a tank top I was ready to rate five-stars while browsing the aisles of my local Target. A New Day’s Ribbed Tank Top is flattering, comfortable, and super affordable at only $8. I currently have multiples in my closet and am eying even more colors....
The multitasking floor cleaner was popular in its own right, remaining out of stock or close to it since last year. But a viral TikTok video really got people talking—838,000 people to be exact (that’s about how many people have watched the clip since it was posted last fall). In the quick video, a woman demonstrates how well three of Tineco’s wet dry vacuums work, including the iFloor 3, which is the brand’s best-selling floor washer....
Cinnamon rolls As breakfast fans know, cinnamon rolls are nothing new, but the TikTok take on this morning staple transforms those canned cinnamon rolls you find at the grocery store into a drool-worthy dish. By adding a bath of heavy whipping cream, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar to your cinnamon roll dish before baking, the treats, which you ice after they come out of the oven, are ridiculously buttery and moist....
If you’ve ever been in that painful position or you’ve read the hype about the cult-worthy gnocchi but don’t have a Trader Joe’s location nearby (yet!), we’ve answered your prayers. Making copycat Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi couldn’t be easier, and it’s just as addictive, delectable, and healthy as the real thing. Here’s how to do it, starting with the same ingredients on the TJ’s gnocchi packaging.

Update: There are currently no true Disney After Hours events scheduled in 2021 due to the ongoing situation. There is a Halloween After Hours Boo Bash but it’s really just a replacement for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! I’ve had the chance to attend three of the four Disney After Hours events!...
To be clear, this isn’t about creating a waffle batter with soft tofu and baking it—this is about literally cooking thin strips of firm tofu by pressing them into the waffle iron. The idea is to make it fast and easy to serve up tofu—you can skip the step of pressing tofu under a heavy weight to remove the water, and you get a nice, crispy finish to the tofu when it’s done cooking....
Due to the popularity of alternative pizza crusts, it’s no surprise that Trader Joe’s recently released a cauliflower crust of their own. The product has been getting a lot of attention—it received upwards of 1500 likes on Instagram account @thetraderstable, where it was first spotted—so we wanted to give it a try. Ingredients include cauliflower, corn flour, water, cornstarch, potato starch, olive oil, and salt. Each serving clocks in at 80 calories and 17g of carbs....
It appears that many internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle owners have reservations about buying an electric car—despite the fact that a future world full of EVs seems inevitable. “Range anxiety” tops the list of concerns, but consumers are also worried about the cost of the vehicle itself, as well as the cost of repairing a fancy computer on wheels—and of course, the existing infrastructure (or lack thereof) for EVs in the United States....
If so, you know what it is to receive income and resent every single penny or, in other words, toxic money. According to Margaret M. Lynch, author of Tapping Into Wealth, and Gull Khan of The Money Mindset Podcast, toxic money comes from a source you despise and, no matter how much you get, you never feel good about it. The first step to addressing a toxic money mindset is to determine if you have toxic money habits or toxic money....
But which ones make the most sense for your garden depends on a number of factors, from your current budget to how often you like to change things up. And for most gardens, a mix of perennials and annuals will give the most bang for your buck (and for your effort). Perennials vs. Annuals The difference between perennials and annuals is simple—perennials are plants that will come back and regrow year after year, while annuals die off when temperatures get too cold and require you to plant new plants the following spring....
“Email apnea is a phenomenon where people unconsciously hold their breath or drop into shallow breathing when they’re responding to email or texting,” says Niraj Naik, a world-leading breathwork expert and founder of the international school of breathwork SOMA Breath. Linda Stone, a writer, researcher, and former executive at Apple and Microsoft first coined the concept of email apnea around 2008, defining it as “a temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email,” in an article for the Huffington Post....
What Is Pro-Aging? According to dermatologists, the best skincare is one of preventative action, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and listening to the changing needs of your skin. Truth be told, anti-aging products have become wildly successful through targeted marketing that makes aging seem like you’re doing something wrong. That doesn’t mean we should abolish retinol and other anti-aging ingredients, which are addressing a need. Instead, estheticians, dermatologists, and many skincare brands are now changing their message to a “pro-aging” approach, focusing on supporting the skin’s natural progression....
I’ve never questioned my voracious sweet tooth until my doctor told me that my excess sugar consumption could lead to a slew of heath issues, including cavities, diabetes, and heart disease. Knowing all of this, I was determined to start eating less sugar. The problem? I found it way more difficult to control my sugar desires than I thought. So we had Michael Crupain, MD, MPH, a board-certified preventive medicine physician and author of the best-selling book What to Eat When, and Mehmet Oz, MD, FACS, a TV personality and former physician at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, weigh in with some reasons why we get sugar cravings after meals—and how to quell them....
That’s actually flawed thinking, experts say. “We as a culture don’t focus enough on self-care; we focus more on doing work,” says Natasha Bhuyan, MD, a family medicine doctor and West Coast medical director for One Medical in Phoenix. “We truly need to normalize recovery and self-care, especially when we’re sick.” Dr. Bhyuan adds that anecdotally, she believes fewer people are taking sick days while working from home because she’s getting fewer requests from individuals asking for doctor’s notes to show they’re sick....
Pop in a bleach-free washer cleaner (like Affresh; $10 for five, walmart.com) once a month to blast away odor-causing residue. Run the machine empty on a hot cycle. Make sure that your washer is level. Otherwise vibrations can damage your floor and prematurely wear out key components, like the shock absorbers and the tub bearings. (Plus, there’s that terrible noise.) Place a level on top of the machine and adjust the feet, which typically screw up and down, accordingly....
Thankfully, fighting chronic inflammation isn’t rocket science. The easiest way to reduce your body’s inflammation is to simply start eating more whole foods and fewer processed foods. There are a handful of foods—berries, avocado, olive oil, fatty fish, green tea, broccoli, and more—that contain even more powerful, inflammation-fighting nutrients than most. Here, a collection of our favorite family-friendly Real Simple recipes that contain many of the most effective anti-inflammatory ingredients you’ll find....
If there is one thing I remember about my childhood, it was the road trips. Most often we went on road trips so that we could add brand new roller coasters to the list. Other than the roller coasters and fun at theme parks, one of the things I remember most about the road trips is playing road trip games with my siblings in the car. Those road trips are still some of my absolute favorite childhood memories....
