Check Out Google’s Pop-Up Mini Golf Course
One of the best parts of summer is uncovering fun things to do that were totally off your radar — a street fair, a chance encounter with the ice cream truck, an impromptu cookout with friends.

Birthday Cake Monster Cookies
This whole experiment started because I bought one too many cake mixes. I know, I know — who does that, and when is it ever a problem?! The thing is, since it’s just Nate and me at home, there isn’t much of a need for an entire vanilla cake. Plus, I’m less of a cake…

I’ve chased it for years, and I know you have too. Everyone talks about the elusive “work-life balance,” that magical state where you can put in just as much into your home life as you do your career, coming out on top in both arenas. A year or two after Lean In came out, and…

The Most Fun Workout You’ll Have This Summer
I’m not someone who looks forward to exercising. In fact, I dread it to the point that an hour before every OrangeTheory class I took during my 6-month run with it, I’d come up with a litany of excuses why I couldn’t possibly hit the gym that night: I’d just eaten, I’m too tired, I’m…

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
I know what you’re thinking: Brussels Sprouts are the foul, tiny cabbage-like roughage every cartoon rails against from the moment you’re old enough to sit through an entire episode of Looney Tunes. You’re conditioned not to like them, and there’s no way, no how you’re going to start eating them now. I’ve felt the same…

What’s Inside Fab Fit Fun’s Summer 2018 Box
It’s hard to scroll Instagram without coming across an influencer — or an ad — promoting Fab Fit Fun’s subscription boxes. After trying Birchbox for nearly two years (and with friends who’ve extensively reviewed other brands), I always wondered: Can it live up to the hype? Do you really get more than $50 worth of…

What’s The Deal With Enneagrams?
When it comes to any test deemed to help you know yourself better, I’m a total sucker. I can’t help it: Whenever I see one, I’m like, “What do I not know about myself that is definitely holding me back and keeping me from NSYNC-circa-2001 levels of greatness?! WHAT?!” I can’t be alone. We all…

A 5-Step Sad Desk Makeover
Whenever I move into a new office, the first thing I have to do is organize the space to make use of every inch available. While making sure that it feels like some place I’d actually want to be — not a sterile cube. (Yeah, I’m THAT person who goes into full desk makeover mode…

Melissa McCarthy’s Blunt Advice That Every Manager Should Hear
Starring in The Boss doesn’t mean Melissa McCarthy knows anything about managing people. Spending 20 years working her way up the ladder in the film industry, running her own production company, On The Day, and launching a clothing line (Seven7) does. The comedian’s a B-O-S-S, and in the May issue of Glamour — the first…

Tiffany Blue Taxis & Food Trucks Take Over New York
In any other city, traffic would stop. People everywhere would gawk. And to some degree, they did. But in a city like New York, a girl leaping from robin’s egg blue taxi to robin’s egg blue taxi is, well, just another day in New York. The bizarre is all around you, all the time.…

How To Tell If Your Idea Could Be A Serious Business
Admittedly, I really wanted the title of this post to be “What The Founder Of Poo-Pourri Can Teach You About Making Sure Your Shhh Don’t Stink.” But that’s a little long, and it didn’t totally fit the vibe of this post, so I decided to go the straightforward route. It’s all inspired by a recent…
