You can now get (almost) [...]
Eat. Sleep. Scroll. We all do it. Whether you are mindlessly scrolling social media, scrolling through an article you’re reading, or vigorously scrolling to get to the bottom of a page to just get the darn recipe (this one drives me nuts!), it has just become second nature to scroll. While we are all used to that kind of scrolling, [...]

One thing I love about the internet is when you come across those “I was today years old when I learned…” posts, or you learn about a new “hack”. One of my favorites that I recently just learned is how to properly use a “Corkscrew Climber” at the playground. It’s that twirly thing that you normally climb up, but guess [...]
We’ve all been there. You’re in a social setting where you don’t really know anyone, but it’s a social setting, so you’re supposed to be…social. For some, this comes very easy and for others, it causes panic. In these situations, there are a couple staples you can use to start that awkward small talk, like asking where you’re from or [...]
As a kid, there are some unwritten rules that you are told you have to follow. You’re not supposed to run with a stick in your hand, you’re not supposed to touch an electrical outlet, and you’re not supposed to talk to strangers. As we get older, there are new unwritten rules like not spending more than you make, getting [...]
