Making your own cold-pressed juice is easier (and cheaper) than you think

Making your own cold-pressed juice is easier (and cheaper) than you think

Looking for our picks of all the best juicers? Go here.

Raw. Organic. Superfood. Buzzwords that would have been roasted in an early 2000s episode of Sex and the City have turned into the pillars of modern wellness. The green juice trend is one that has really taken off, and drinks made with nothing but fruits and veggies can be a really good thing — when done right.

For people who don’t buy produce regularly (or who simply don’t want a side salad for every damn meal), juicing is a way to keep up with vitamin intake in a few swigs. Consistent supplement takers might switch their loyalty to raw juice after finding out that their vitamin C capsules probably aren’t doing much. Though juiced fruits and veggies are *not* a meal replacement and can’t take the place of eating a regular old carrot, they’re still a healthy, refreshing drink with less sugar than a smoothie or orange juice from the carton.

Best electric toothbrushes — and one you should totally avoid

Best electric toothbrushes — and one you should totally avoid

If I’m being honest here, I think that brushing my teeth at night has to be the most annoying chore within my routineMy bed is just so comfortable and I’m usually quite tired. (Before you start judging my oral hygiene, I do brush my teeth every night. I’m just venting.)

Brushing your teeth is a vital chore, no matter how tired you are, though. Just think about how awful it feels to wake up in the morning with a stale, musty mouth because you didn’t take two minutes to polish those pearly whites the night before. Doesn’t sound worth it now, does it?

Of course, don’t neglect a brushing session after you wake up, either. Your coworkers certainly won’t appreciate that.  Read more…

Best back-up cameras for your car

Best back-up cameras for your car

Were you looking for the best dash cams instead? Go here.

If you’re less than gifted when it comes to parking, or want to peer into a precarious blind spot, a backup or rear view camera is a great addition to your car or truck (and much cheaper than buying a new auto that has one built in).

Since May 2018, new cars sold in the US have to have backup cameras built in under a federal regulation, to help drivers avoid accidents in which pedestrians are run over because a driver can’t see them when they are reversing. While older cars don’t need to be retrofitted with a camera, they are handy and can be super affordable too.  Read more…

How to functionally abandon email

How to functionally abandon email

Let’s face it: Email is a drag. 

Whatever shine unsolicited links and messages once had back in the early days of the internet is long gone. Today, the contents of your inbox are likely closely aligned with that of your cellphone’s voicemail — unwanted and unchecked. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s within your power to functionally give up email. It is surprisingly easy, and feels so, so good.  

First off, let’s all agree that writing and replying to emails is a pain. Even the companies that provide the service know it’s unbearably tedious. Google has tried to make things less burdensome on the senders’ end with Gmail’s Smart Reply and Smart Compose features, and on the receivers’ end with Nudges, but those are just annoying Band-Aids on the festering wound of obligation.   Read more…

Coronavirus conspiracy theories spread panic and dangerous misinformation

Coronavirus conspiracy theories spread panic and dangerous misinformation

The deadly coronavirus has spawned dangerous, baffling conspiracy theories online as officials across the globe work to stop the virus’ spread. 

As of Thursday afternoon, there had been more than 7,700 confirmed cases of the virus — which originated in Wuhan, China — and at least 170 deaths. Eighteen other countries, including the U.S., have confirmed cases, according to the World Health Organization.

But as bad as the virus is, conspiracy theories and misinformation are making the situation worse. The internet is rife with misinformation about the origin of the virus and how to protect yourself from it. Some of it is dangerous, some strange, and some downright racist. All of it is seemingly designed to piggyback off the intense interest in the virus.  Read more…
