While you can count on finding waffles on the menu at just about every sit-down diner in America—not to mention in the freezer aisle in every grocery store—it’s surprisingly hard to find waffles on the menu at fast-food chains.

It’s totally normal if your stomach sinks after seeing your partner bond with their attractive coworker, and we’d venture a guess that almost all couples have had some variation of the, “Seriously, they’re just a friend” debate. The green-eyed monster may even seem kind of endearing at times. (Isn’t it so sweet that they care that much about you?) Jealousy isn’t a relationship red flag in and of itself, Vernessa Roberts, PsyD, LMFT, a therapist who works with couples in Sacramento, California, tells SELF. At its core, this uneasy feeling usually stems from anxiety, suspicion, paranoia, or insecurity—all of…

It isn’t every day that Costco adds a new option to its beloved food court menu, so those rare changes tend to generate a lot of fanfare when they do take place. For example, shoppers at the members-only warehouse club were ecstatic last month when Costco brought back the highly-requested diced onion topping and then the popular retired chicken caesar salad in a span of a couple of weeks. However, another new Costco food court item that has been rolling out to warehouses in the United States is being met with a much less positive reception. This new food court…

Think about it: you’re walking around from class to class in school on top of going to extracurriculars like sports practices or dance classes. However, once you reach the nine-to-five life and work from a desk (maybe even from home), it becomes harder to get enough movement in during the day.“Walking is the foundation of physical activity,” says New York City-based registered dietitian and trainer Melissa Darlow, RD, CDN, CPT. “It’s an awesome way to move your body, get outside, get Vitamin D,…

When an employee announces their resignation, or mentions they are considering quitting, employers and business leaders might feel an onslaught of emotions, from disappointment to anger to, potentially, some self-doubt about the future direction of the company. In the age of social media, employees quitting may also cause concern regarding how much company information, or misinformation, might be spread as a result of a disgruntled exiting employee. One example of this: the #quittok trend that has taken hold on TikTok,…
