Crying is often regarded as a sign of weakness, and even something to be ashamed of. But let’s continue to normalize crying, not only because those arguments are bullshit, but because science agrees that crying is important, actually. It releases toxins like stress hormones from our bodies, it triggers the…
I love a boxed brownie mix. I think it is very hard to make a brownie that tastes better than one made with the boxed dark chocolate mix, especially when you consider the price point and amount of effort required. But that does not mean I don’t like to tweak…
If you’re someone whose love of cooking maybe outweighs the size of your wallet, trying to load up your kitchen with high-grade crookery and appliances can be a bit difficult. However, if you’re patient and willing to do your homework, you can find some great deals on essential kitchen gear….

Ecotourism proves it’s possible to enjoy natural wonders without harming them – and it gives us a more rewarding holiday as a result.
At one time or another, we all say things we regret. Perhaps you have a tendency to make bad jokes (and can’t read the room). Perhaps you love to air your hot takes on the latest social media controversy (and find yourself a bit confused when the outrage turns back…
Google is going to start enrolling all of its users in two-step verification, if they haven’t set it up already. Will it come as a shock to some? Sure. But that’s fine; the surprise will fade away, leaving accounts that are much more secure than they were previously, especially for…
Much like the two more prominent mythical creatures who visit our kids, the scope of the Tooth Fairy’s operations can vary from home to home. But unlike Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, parents need to be prepared for her arrival on virtually any night of the year, as the…

Whether you’ve engaged in anal play hundreds of times or you’re just starting out, everyone wants to feel as confident as possible before, during and after. It’s one of those situations that can get a little messy at times, but that shouldn’t deter you from trying it out. If you’re…
Lifting is about as simple as an exercise gets: You pick the thing up, and you put the thing down. But that doesn’t mean you’re going to walk into the gym and just pick the thing up. A proper warmup can help you to be ready for your big lift,…
It’s a staple of any kitchen and the simplest of seasonings, perfect with everything from meats to dressings to chocolate. But did you know that sodium chloride’s course texture and water absorption makes it perfect for removing stains and scrubbing grime? When combined with vinegar or lemon, salt can be a…
During the pandemic, some of us may have been showering less (perhaps much less) even as we spent more time sanitizing surfaces (well, at first). As we recalibrate to the new normal, let’s take a look at our cleanliness routines and figure out what we actually need to do every…
Peloton has suffered a data breach. The good news? The information about your exercise habits that subsequently became freely accessible by outsiders isn’t all that damning. Peloton’s delayed response, however, is far more concerning.
Some mornings I wake up ready to hate, and I was in such a mood the morning I saw Molly Yeh’s popcorn salad video — a video which ignited a firestorm of angry and disgusted tweets.
A new study into Australia’s sexual behaviour has highlighted some pretty gobsmacking truths about how we as a nation get down.
From plucking and shaving to waxing and laser, there’s no shortage of ways to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal has been increasing in popularity for a few years, and for good reason. It’s cost-effective, relatively painless and lasts far longer than other removal methods. Until recently, it was only…

Carb-friendly? Freeze-dried dog food? Seriously, dogs are spoilt for choice. Over the last few years, freeze-dried…
R.M. Williams boots are iconic, with fans from farmers to fashionistas. But quality doesn’t come cheap, so how do you find a bargain?
Having any sort of interaction with a negative or downright mean person is unpleasant on so many levels. Unfortunately, they are everywhere and basically unavoidable. You know the type: Rude and inconsiderate right off the bat, as if they think that it’s perfectly acceptable to treat other people like crap,…
Like fashion, interior design styles are both cyclical and constantly evolving. (Except it’s much less depressing seeing the model of your family’s old sofa in a vintage furniture shop than it is seeing a young person wearing a (19)90s “costume” for “retro” day at school.)
Facebook recently announced a bunch of new features for Messenger and Instagram DMs on its apps. Media messaging is now streamlined, chats are easier to archive (and unarchive), and Instagram DMs now include read receipts. Let’s investigate at all the new features and how to use them.
Last Monday evening, I made a fully realised, intentional cocktail for someone else. Seeing as my boyfriend is sober and no one else in my COVID pod drinks liquor, this has not happened in quite some time.
Well, bud, you really did it this time. You cheated on someone you care about and don’t want to lose. Now you have to decide whether to tell them and how, exactly, you can even start that conversation. This won’t be easy, but at least we can make it a…
I have some personal news: I went vegan about three or four months ago. Considering that I’ve written thousands of words about how much I love tofu and black bean burgers, this “news” is hardly shocking, but with meat discourse reaching furious new heights (or depths?) every day, it seemed…
I can’t resist a good wireless mystery, and this week’s question-writer for Lifehacker’s Tech 911 has a good one — an issue that you don’t even think about until it happens, and then it consumes your mind as you try every trick in the book to get your wifi back.
Netflix has released some cryptic teasers for the upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things. Here’s what we know about it so far.
