Following solid advice—including these trusty moving tips—can help, but so can tackling one of the most challenging parts of the process, which is accumulating enough moving boxes to actually make the move possible. Sure, corralling movers and safely transporting everything from one spot to the other is the priority, but none of that can happen if you don’t have receptacles for actually transporting everything. You can’t even start packing until you have those pesky moving boxes, which cost a surprising amount of money, are typically used once (unless you plan to move again in a very short time), and fill up landfills or recycling facilities afterward in a very non–zero waste manner....

Give one or more a try, and you might just find that your digestive woes are a thing of the past....

Let’s start by outlining the main nutritional components you’ll be looking for. Carbohydrates: They’re the main source of fuel for your muscles (and really, your entire body), so eating carbs 20 to 60 minutes after exercise is a smart way to make sure you’ll properly refuel your glycogen stores and store the carbs consumed as energy. If you’re practicing high-impact cardio or any endurance sports (like running, swimming, or spinning), you’ll likely need to eat more carbs post-workout than those doing weight-training....

That’s not to say I was always this way. My mom, being the intelligent but frugal woman she is, taught me that perfume was something to be reserved for special occasions. And I still think she has a point—we should all have that one particular fragrance we keep tucked away for certain moments. Unintentional Aromatherapy However, my fragrance philosophy has changed over the years. When I was gifted a bottle of Dior Miss Dior in college, the sweet floral notes immediately became my signature scent....

But first, a disclaimer: Waterproof doesn’t necessarily mean sweatproof. Sweatproof and waterproof can be approached with similar formulation techniques because sweat is about 99 percent water, according to Kelly Dobos, a cosmetic chemist based in Cincinnati, Ohio. “The test methods can vary, like immersing skin in a whirlpool for water resistance or using a sauna for sweatproof claims,” she says. “Sebum resistance is another aspect of formulating, especially for foundation or other face makeups, as oil ‘breakthrough’ can occur during the day and can actually cause darkening of the pigments and powders causing the color to shift....

Eric Bjorling, brand director for Trek Bicycle says that 85 percent of people view biking as a safer form of transportation than a bus or other forms of public transit. The sudden surge in interest in biking has contributed to a bicycle shortage in the U.S., The New York Times has previously reported, and retailers of bikes and bike gear are seeing huge growth in sales. “We’re doing probably two to three times the volume [of sales] we usually do this time of year,” says Gloria Hwang, CEO and founder of Thousand, a helmet and bike gear company....

What’s my secret? A box of Bisquick and a can of Sprite. That’s right—I’m not asking you to freeze and grate butter, do any elaborate kneading and folding, or even have buttermilk on hand. Put away the food processor and the bench scraper. When I say these are easy, I mean four ingredients, one bowl, and in and out of the oven in 12 minutes flat. Most of us have a box of Bisquick laying around, which is why I love this recipe....

While the recall only pertains to about 7,600 pounds of sausage products, these items were distributed to various retailers nationwide. According to a recall notice posted on the Walmart website, the now-recalled sausage was distributed to hundreds of Walmart stores in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and several other states.The problem was discovered after Bob Evans Farms Foods notified FSIS that it had received consumer complaints reporting thin blue pieces of rubber in its sausage product....

That means you’re getting strength and cardio benefits in one move, with no special equipment and not much space needed....

Baking with Olive Oil If substituting olive oil for vegetable oil (or another cooking oil) in your baking recipe, you can use a 1:1 ratio. Because of olive oil’s distinct flavor, it might affect the flavor of the baked product. Best Olive Oils for Baking Any olive oil is fine, we find the best olive oil to use in baking is made with Aberquina olives ($16, Target). This type of olive oil will come labeled as “mild” olive oil, which allows for a light, mild flavor rather than the stronger extra virgin olive oil on the shelves....

Some shoppers actually “prefer it to the ‘adult’ version” for reasons that go beyond its substantially cheaper $10 price. A big win over the original, the baby formula is phthalate-free, but it otherwise contains largely the same ingredients—including skin-plumping hyaluronic acid and all three of the brand’s namesake ceramides—listed in a different order according to their priority level. At the top of the list, dimethicone is promoted to an active ingredient used to trap water and prevent moisture loss, making it ideal for eczema-prone skin....

A home inspection, on the other hand, determines whether there are any structural issues in the home (and outside of it). Yes, an inspection will cost you (the average cost is $200 to $400, according to Bankrate), but those few hundred dollars can potentially save you a lot of money down the line. “In this super-competitive housing market, waiving a home inspection can be appealing for buyers seeking to make their offers more attractive to sellers who have plenty to choose from—but buyers do so at their financial peril,” says Clare Trapasso, real estate expert at Realtor....

“Cybersickness occurs when your brain receives messages that you’re moving—for instance, by a flashing screen—when you are, in fact, still,” explains Gillian Isaacs Russell, PhD, a psychotherapist in Boulder, Colo. This is called visual vestibular conflict. One of the most familiar examples of visual vestibular conflict is if you feel sick while trying to read in the car as a passenger. While your eyes are focused on a stationary object, the rest of your body perceives movement (you are technically moving at the speed of the vehicle, even though you’re sitting still in your seat)....

Designed to be used while sitting down, the DeskCycle Ellipse seemed like an easy way to stay active while working from home. Putting it together was extremely simple—all I had to do was attach the foot pedals and hook on the LCD screen.

If you haven’t figure it out already from my Easter bark and my mini egg cheesecakes that look like little nests, I like themed Easter treats. And these Easter bunny cupcakes are the one of my new favorites because they’re so simple to make but also just plain cute. Kind of like these fun carrot cake balls turned into bunny tails! I mean is there really anything cuter than a bunny?...
