  • The World’s Largest Bounce House Is Going on Tour

    It doesn’t matter how old you are—bounce houses are undeniably fun. And when that house happens to be the Guinness Book of World Records holder for largest inflatable obstacle course ever? Well, it’s the kind of thing that can make you plan a long-distance road trip to experience. Thankfully, you won’t have to travel too…

  • Why Am I So Obsessed with Kate Hudson’s “Rumpled Chic” Clothing Line?!

    Though I’ve been thisclose to ordering a pair of Fabletics leggings over the past few years, I’ve always been a little bummed that Kate Hudson‘s foray into fashion was an athleisure line. Leggings are great and all, but this is the actress who brought back boho in the early aughts with her turn as Penny…

  • Planet Landscape Photos Are Surprisingly Easy To Make

    I don’t even know how to properly name or describe these photos without just showing them to you. Orb landscape photos? Pseudo-planet photos? Circular landscape images? No matter how I Google it, I can’t come up with the right term. Even after Nate found out how to make these pics, we didn’t see a common…

  • What Do Jade Rollers Actually Do?

    No, really. I’m not asking for a friend. What do jade rollers (and their various crystal iterations) actually do, and why are they so alluring? I’ve seen them on beauty blogs and in people’s Instagrams for months, but I never understood the hype. It seems like a dozen different people have two dozen different reasons…

  • I Tried Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goopglow For A Week To Transform My Skin

    Honestly, this whole skincare experiment started off unintentionally. I hadn’t specifically gone out to buy Goopglow (at $60 for a 30-day supply, I needed proof you’d get Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow‘s skin before committing my cash), but when a 5-day pack of the skin-boosting powder came free with a subscription to Goop magazine, I couldn’t…

  • What You Should Know About Netflix & Hulu’s Fyre Festival Docs

    If there’s one thing to binge-watch one night this weekend, it’s the new Fyre festival doc. Er, both of the docs. Streaming giants Netflix and Hulu each dropped a documentary on 2017’s failed music festival in the Bahamas — and they’re both dangerously addictive to watch. It’s hard to believe it really happened; a luxury…

  • You Can Now Race Drones Using Your Mind

    We’re one step closer to telekinesis. No Carrie-esque meltdowns or black magic required. The University of South Florida (AKA our alma mater) has announced that it’s hosting an International Brain-Drone Race on Feb. 9, and it’s exactly as it sounds: Racers move the drones using their minds, not handheld controllers. “When you imagine a movement,…

  • How To Use Your Phone To Turn On Your Christmas Lights

    Is it peak lazy, or peak awesome? Don’t answer that. We’re slowly turning our entire home into a smart house, which has been great for those moments when my arms are full (with a baby) and I’m trying to turn on a light or pause a TV show. You know, tackling the big stuff.  I’m…

  • 5 Affordable Ways to Deck The Halls Without Destroying Your Wallet

    Holiday decorations add up fast. Here are 5 ideas to maximize your home’s cozy Christmas vibe without spending a ton on decor.

  • The Crazy Genius Of ‘A Simple Favor’

    At first glance, it seems like a movie you’ve seen a dozen times over the past three years: a woman goes missing, her friends and husband search desperately for her — but maybe are complicit in the disappearance? — and with each plot twist, you’re second-guessing every theory you’ve developed in the past 10 minutes.…

  • What’s In Fab Fit Fun’s Fall 2018 Box

    It’s a bizarre contradiction. As much as I hate clutter, I love the surprise and delight of subscription boxes. There’s always a new array of unexpected items to try and check out; things I may not splurge for on their own but realized I’d love to try. But those things can quickly pile up (and…

  • Check Out What Comes In Amazon’s Free Baby Registry Box

    It’s hard to resist free swag. Especially as you’re staring at pages and pages of search results for baby gear, all revealing thousands of things that are suddenly new parent must-haves for surviving life with an infant. All I saw were dollar signs — and felt a little overwhelmed at what I needed to buy…
