This Artist’s Work Makes Every Day Feel Like A Vacation

Coconut Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread
It’s so many things! So many wonderful, lick-your-fingers-and-scoop-up-the-crumbs wonderful things! My all-time favorite banana bread recipe comes with a hearty scoop of shortening, and as delicious as it is, I’m trying to eat a smidge healthier, so I set out to create a lightened-up version.

A Workout That Tricks You Into Exercising
I’ll be real: I like the idea of exercising way, way more than actually sweating it out at the gym. Over the years, I’ve tried group classes, exercise DVDs, P90X, jogging, even a Bollywood Boot Camp — and while they were varying degrees of fun, there weren’t any I really looked forward to. It was…

5 Shirts That Know You Better Than You Know Yourself
Okay, that headline is a bit — a bit — hyperbolic, but if you’ve ever found a phrase on a tee, mug or print that seemed to perfectly encapsulate how you felt at that moment, you know what I mean. For years, I shunned graphic tees or any shirt with text on it. They seemed…
