Leftover season is upon us, which means that now is the time to invest in some solid Tupperware. 

You may be thinking that the mix-matched menagerie of lids and plastic containers you have tucked away in your kitchen will do the trick, but I regret to inform you that it will not. 

Come the end of your Thanksgiving meal, as you try to fit your leftovers into whatever food storage containers you have, you’ll wish you’d invested in some sturdy containers worthy of storing the meal you spent hours—days, even!—creating.

Growing your own veggies or plants can be a total pain, especially if you only have a limited amount of space. Even if you’re a city dweller who somehow managed to get lucky and score a backyard with your place, making sure the soil is healthy enough to grow plants from is another obstacle to overcome — especially if you live in a major city where lead contamination might be a problem.

But you shouldn’t give up hope if you want to exercise your green thumb. There are plenty of alternatives to getting around these hurdles — the easiest of which is creating a herb garden on your windowsill. Read more…

The trendiest app of the summer, arguably, was HUJI: the photo editing tool that makes your photos look like they were taken with a late ’90s disposable camera. 

Now that autumn is upon us, though, HUJI backlash is in full swing. Like KiraKira and the Snapchat dog filter before it, HUJI is now derided as basic, mostly because the locals figured out it exists.

People nowadays are under tremendous pressure to do everything themselves, whether it’s designing our own clothes, building our own internet or — good God — making our own lunch for work.

It’s too damn much. But forgive me if I add another task to the pile: You need to make your own hummus. No store-bought version, no matter how fancy the label is, can stand up to homemade.

There are few greater joys than having insanely soft baby skin. Some people are born with it while others — like me — have to labor to achieve desired softness. 

In my quest to join the ranks of those with satin-like limbs, I have tried many things. Over the years, various exfoliating brushes or gloves have made their way in and out of my bathroom. Name a cream or lotion, and I’ve probably tried that too. But nothing has come close to the dear friend and ally I have found in the Baiden Mitten — an exfoliating mitt that will have you feeling like a goddamn cloud.  Read more…

The case for having a ‘finsta’ as an adult

Perhaps you’re familiar with “finstas,” the secondary Instagram accounts used primarily by Teens™ to post photos they don’t want to share on their primary accounts. (The word “finsta” is a portmanteau of “fake” and “Insta.”) 

Finstas can house a wide variety of pics, from shitposts to risqué selfies to hyper-specific memes the user only wants their best friends to see. They’re generally private, with highly curated followings — it’s not uncommon for finsta accounts to only have 10-15 followers. Unless you’ve been invited to follow someone’s finsta, it’s generally impossible to tell who the account belongs to. It’s essentially a secret, unfiltered Instagram oasis. Read more…

Nothing feels better than blocking an obnoxious branded Twitter account — whether you’re doing it to spite Alex Jones, to protect yourself from insidious marketing, or some combination of the two.

Look at what’s happening on Twitter, for example. As we reported earlier this month, #GrabYourWallet co-founder Shannon Coulter recently put pressure on the platform to remove Jones by creating a list of Fortune 500 companies on Twitter that people can block in protest. Read more…
