When you think of the typical fast-food meal, a cheeseburger or a chicken sandwich with a side of crispy, golden fries usually comes to mind. But that’s not the only delicious starchy side that you can get at many fast-food spots. If you hit up the many delicious fried chicken chains in the country there’s a side you absolutely need to round everything out: mashed potatoes. Not every fast-food restaurant serves mashed potatoes, but the ones that do it the best deliver homemade flavor and fluffy texture just like grandma used to make. Plus, they all have a signature gravy…
Ozempic side effects are getting almost as much attention as the drug itself (maybe you’ve heard of “Ozempic face.”) Intended for those with type 2 diabetes, Ozempic (which lists semaglutide as its main active ingredient) is an injectable drug that helps manage blood sugar. The medication, which is part of a drug class glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), can reduce the risk of a stroke, heart attack, or death in adults who have type 2 diabetes, along with heart and blood vessel disease. Some patients on the medication experience side effects when taking the drug. One of the most common side…
Meal prepping is a go-to practice for so many trying to improve their health and focus on nutrition. In fact, #kitchenrestock has over 460 million views on TikTok. It’s oddly satisfying to watch influencers clear out, prep, organize, and stock their kitchens.

As a Registered Dietitian, I’ll share a few tips how to eat healthy without meal prepping that will keep your kitchen well-stocked for quick meals without such a time commitment. I mean, who…

You probably don’t think of cheese falling into this category, but you may be surprised. While it’s true that some varieties have overly indulgent amounts of saturated fat, cheese can actually provide many nutrients—as long as you get it from the right source. Overly processed, mass-produced commercial cheeses are usually…
What’s “hangry” and is it just an excuse to be a jerk? Turns out, there’s real science behind why an empty belly can make you cranky.You know those t-shirts that say, “I’m sorry for what I said when I was hungry”? They’re not just for a laugh. They’re actually onto something.It’s long been known that there’s a connection between the state of our bellies and the state of our emotions — and up-to-the-minute research shows that the concept of being “hangry” (aka hungry and angry, or angry because you’re hungry) isn’t just an excuse for being an a**hole. It’s a…
Nordstrom is one of those retailers we could blissfully browse for hours—but when the store is running its Half-Yearly Sale (which is second only to its Anniversary Sale, arriving later this summer) we’re beelining straight to the deals. If you’ve got leggings, bed sheets, pots and pans, or skin care essentials on your shopping list, you can find what you need at Nordstrom for as much as 60% off right now. The sale ends this Sunday, June 4, so we’ve already noticed certain items starting to dwindle in stock, but it’s not too late to snag some great stuff. In fact, it’s perfect timing…
If you’re a fan of HBO’s programming (or are just extremely online), you’ve probably heard of The Idol. A collaboration between Euphoria’s Sam Levinson and musician The Weeknd, The Idol is, in every way, a combination of the two men’s creative visions. Starring Lily Rose Depp, The Weeknd, and many, many others (Hank Azaria, Rachel Sennott, and Troye Sivan are just a few of the star-studded names attached), the series follows Jocelyn, a pop star who falls under the spell of a mysterious club owner. Together, the two work to make Jocelyn the biggest pop star in the world. While…
Even though there are plenty of innovative new restaurants opening all the time, sometimes nothing quite hits the spot like food from an old-fashioned local diner. Known for their often lengthy menus, affordable dishes, and nostalgic atmosphere, old-school diners have been a fixture in America for years. Diners aren’t just a great place to meet family and friends for a quick bite to eat but are also arguably a symbol of American culture. The diner concept is believed to have been born in the 1870s in Rhode Island but shortly after New Jersey became the leader of prefabricated diner production—the…
Does the word “manifesting” make you think of mood boards, mantras, and “The Secret?” Well, same—that is, until recently, when I had the chance to meet Poppy Delbridge, author of Tapping In: Manifest the Life You Want with the Transformative Power of Tapping and became fascinated with the “rapid tapping” method she’d come up with for manifestation. By mixing the art of ancient touch therapy to shift stuck energy, along with repetitive language, micro-meditation, and visualization, Delbridge claims that you can take control of your life with only a few moments each day. Curious to decipher whether or not it would…
