A New Mantra for the Overstressed
As a new school year kicks into gear and the lazy days of summer start to slip away, it’s easy to go from feeling refreshed and ready to take on new projects to obsessively worrying (read: panicking) about doing it all. That’s always been me, and it was especially true during my junior and senior…

Shockingly Good Airline Food
When it comes to flying, I pack snacks as if I might never eat again. (Seriously, who needs trail mix, apples and granola when your flight is only three hours?! This girl, apparently.) When Nate and I prepared to fly to Australia, I went into overdrive. Sure, we’d spend 5 1/2 hours on a plane…

The One Thing You Must Stop Doing During Vacation
Thirty-four percent of millennials work every single day of their vacations. Yup, that’s one out of every three people, and what’s just as awful is that they return to work feeling even less productive than before they left, according to a June 2015 study by Alamo Rent A Car.

5 Things We Hope ‘Heroes Reborn’ Addresses
When Heroes went off the air in 2009, I was ready to start a petition for its return. In my mind, it was just starting to recover from the convoluted, achingly boring turn it took during the Writer’s Strike, and I held out hope that it could return to its chilling, I’m-going-to-lose-my-mind-waiting-until-Monday-for-the-next-episode drama that the…

3 Cooking Tricks I’ve Learned on the Job
I am so grateful that I get to do what I do each day. Test recipes, interview fascinating people, help create Instagram videos in honor of National French Fry Day (clearly, very important work) — it’s a total blast, and I can honestly say I’m psyched to go to the office each day. Part of…

Sometimes Things Don’t Turn Out The Way You Hope
…They wind up even better. Last week, I was challenged to put the “Make A Face A Cake” story on Delish.com to the test, just in time for Prince George’s birthday.
