How to Get the Closest Thing to American Coffee Around the World
International travel is a beautiful way to experience a new culture. But while I’m almost entirely all for immersing yourself in what’s local and pushing beyond your boundaries, I make an exception for coffee. Blame jet lag or the disorientation of un-caffeinated mornings in a foreign country, but when I’m abroad and in need of a jolt, I just want something close to familiar. → Read More
How and Why to Exfoliate Your Face
If you want to expand your skincare routine beyond cleansing, moisturizer, and sunscreen, exfoliation is a good next step. Exfoliating serums and scrubs boast that they can fight acne, clear your pores, reduce fine lines, and make your skin vaguely brighter. Some of those promises are true, but they’re not the whole story. So here is your scientific, medically backed look at exfoliation: what it… → Read More
Where to See More Work by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, the Obamas’ Portraitists
The reveal of the Obamas’ official portraits earlier this week evoked a lot of strong feelings, aesthetic and political—not to mention a reminder of how the aesthetic and political are intertwined.

How to Disconnect From Social Media but Stay Connected to the World
Social media is terrible, and social media is amazing. It inundates us with panic-inducing news and rage-inducing hot takes; it also keeps us connected to our friends, professional circles, and news from around the world. But if you try to drink straight from the fire hose, you’re going to drown—or get your head blasted pretty hard. The key is figuring out what social media is good for—for… → Read More
If Your Valentines Plans Include Sex and Dinner, Do Them in That Order
For many couples, Valentine’s Day plans have a solid template: go out for a romantic dinner, come home and have romantic and sexy sex. As long as you don’t mind the societally mandated nature of the evening, it sounds pretty nice. → Read More
Google Express Doesn’t Replace Amazon Prime, But It’s Still Pretty Useful
In the arms race between Amazon and Google, homebodies are the clear winners. (Warehouse workers… not so much.) But Google’s latest parry, Google Express, sidesteps the warehouse entirely, delivering orders from your local stores straight to your home. It works a bit differently than Prime, even with Amazon’s recent expansions into groceries. → Read More
Your Essential Oil Diffuser Might Be Making Your Pets Sick
The one time I really tend to wish my pets could talk is when they’re sick.

Donate Whenever Your Super Bowl Team Scores
Football is fraught. You may want to enjoy the Super Bowl—for the sport or the snacks or the halftime show—but also really hate a lot of what the NFL, or your team, stands for. Chronic brain injuries, disrespect and disregard for peaceful protest, the sweeping of domestic violence under the rug, support for politicians you really hate. What’s a fan to do? → Read More

But for you homebodies, you can catch several of the nominees from top categories without leaving home → Read More
Sleeping Under the Covers Won't Suffocate Your Dog
Should your dog sleep in bed with you? It’s a contentious question. Even a small dog can take up a lot of bed space, and some trainers will say that having your dog sleep in a crate or in their own bed sets an important boundary that helps their behavior. But on the other hand: the snuggles. → Read More

You Don’t Have to Pay to Check a Bag
To some, it’s a dreaded announcement as you wait to board a full flight: We’re looking for volunteers to gate-check their bags. To others, it’s a relief. But to the truly savvy, it’s old news. Because you can often gate-check your bag even when volunteers aren’t being asked. → Read More
Stop Bringing Your Phone to the Bathroom

Manage Your Attention Instead of Your Time
“I’m too busy!” “I don’t have enough time!” “If only there were more hours of the day.” It’s weird how feeling overwhelmed and busy rarely coincides with getting a lot done. Maybe the problem isn’t that you don’t have enough time. It’s that you don’t have enough attention. → Read More

We’ve all received the conventional wisdom that filler words like “um,” “uh,” and the especially dreaded “like” have no place in conversation. They make you sound dumb! They diminish your authority! But, according to a linguist, filler words serve an important function, and we shouldn’t be so quick to try to banish them from conversation. → Read More
