And this is where we need to discuss Trader Joe’s Sicilian Selezione Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a product that deserves a spot in TJ’s hall of fame....

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....

“You won’t get hired.” These are two of the dozens of comments I received when I decided to dye my hair pink. All I’d ever wanted was to have the cotton-candy pink hair of my dreams, and when I got it, I was ecstatic. While I walked around with a new vibrant pink mane, that was the only different thing about me. I still went to the same school, had the same friends and worked the same job....

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....

This color, known as “haint blue,” is associated with the Gullah Geechee people. These descendants of enslaved Africans in parts of Georgia and South Carolina have maintained a rich cultural heritage, and among their traditions was the belief that haint blue repels haints, or ghosts. The idea was that the color would trick haints into thinking the ceiling is either water or the sky. Haint blue was first used in Charleston during the early 1800s and continues to be popular today....

The History of Putting Angels at the Top of Christmas Trees It turns out, this practice comes from the original Christmas story. Angels play a significant part in the first Christmas: Angels visited Joseph and the Virgin Mary about the upcoming birth of Jesus, and on the night of his birth, angels appeared in the sky over Bethlehem to announce his arrival to the world. Because angels appeared high in the sky on the first Christmas, people began placing angels high on the top of their trees as a way to celebrate the birth of Jesus....

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....

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....

This year my husband and I had to get a little creative when it comes to getting my son to practice sports. With everything going on right now, there are just not the same opportunities to play sports and to be as active as normal. That’s why I’m so excited to be partnering with Nike to share how they can be a great resource for parents looking for help getting kids moving!...

But just because it’s getting cooler doesn’t mean all of the fun has to be taken indoors. In fact, a report by the home care app Thumbtack found that the focus on outdoor spaces isn’t going to slow down just because the weather is cooling down. “According to our data, nearly one-third of homeowners plan to make a substantial investment into their outdoor spaces while 36 percent plan to invest in their home’s exterior, and 12 percent plan to add a pool or hot tub,” says David Steckel, home expert at Thumbtack....

1. Burro’s Tail Burro’s tail or donkey’s tail (Sedum morganianum) is a trailing succulent that looks best in a hanging basket or container sitting on a ledge, shelf, or plant stand so it can drape over. Each stem can reach up to three feet long and is packed with gray-green leaves about the size and shape of a plump grain of rice. The leaves have a pale sheen on them that wipes off when you touch them so it will show your fingerprints....
