By ignoring the burgeoning industry of cash-back apps, especially with the growing popularity of shopping online, you’re leaving money on the table. “Consumers often overlook the benefit cash-back apps offer because they may see it as minimal return on their purchases,” Woroch says, “or they may simply forget to take the steps to earn money back.” “Given that the average mobile order was just over $125 as of 2021 and the average online order was $177 according to Statista,” Woroch says, “earning 1 to 6 percent cash back with a digital tool each time you shop is an easy way to make some money back on what you’re buying....

Sodium hyaluronate, or hyaluronic acid, naturally occurs in our bodies, and it works to both attract and seal water into the skin. “The greatest amounts of hyaluronic acid are found in skin soft tissue and the eyes,” says Dr. Payman Danielpour of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. “Our bodies naturally produce the substance to draw in and retain water to keep the body well lubricated and moist....
But with the evolution of the meal kit and direct-to-consumer food companies, some brands have rethought how busy people can eat well—vegetables, superfoods, fruit, nuts, and more—without a great deal of effort.

These foods are different approaches to their same basic idea: deliver healthful, fulfilling meals you can feel good making and serving yourself or your family, even when you’re too busy to really cook....

Of course, we’re talking about baking in a story purportedly about jeans, but this quote comes to mind every time I have to shop for new denim. See, for something that’s so utterly classic, simple, and essential in every person’s closet, jeans are surprisingly hard to get right.

So how do walls get to be dirty-looking in the first place? One primary reason might be that they were painted the wrong color.

It’s not just about our relationships, either: When we take on an unfair share of labor in the home, it can mean taking a step back at work (whether we want to or not) and missing out on career-related or other opportunities.

For people who can’t have sugar, like my grandfather, or those who don’t like or want it in their diets, artificial sweeteners and other substitutes (think: honey, agave, stevia) have tried to take its place, but it’s hard to replicate that flavor—especially when using something fake that has a bitter, chemical aftertaste.
