  • What You Should Know About Netflix & Hulu’s Fyre Festival Docs

    If there’s one thing to binge-watch one night this weekend, it’s the new Fyre festival doc. Er, both of the docs. Streaming giants Netflix and Hulu each dropped a documentary on 2017’s failed music festival in the Bahamas — and they’re both dangerously addictive to watch. It’s hard to believe it really happened; a luxury…

  • You Can Now Race Drones Using Your Mind

    We’re one step closer to telekinesis. No Carrie-esque meltdowns or black magic required. The University of South Florida (AKA our alma mater) has announced that it’s hosting an International Brain-Drone Race on Feb. 9, and it’s exactly as it sounds: Racers move the drones using their minds, not handheld controllers. “When you imagine a movement,…

  • How To Use Your Phone To Turn On Your Christmas Lights

    Is it peak lazy, or peak awesome? Don’t answer that. We’re slowly turning our entire home into a smart house, which has been great for those moments when my arms are full (with a baby) and I’m trying to turn on a light or pause a TV show. You know, tackling the big stuff.  I’m…

  • The Crazy Genius Of ‘A Simple Favor’

    At first glance, it seems like a movie you’ve seen a dozen times over the past three years: a woman goes missing, her friends and husband search desperately for her — but maybe are complicit in the disappearance? — and with each plot twist, you’re second-guessing every theory you’ve developed in the past 10 minutes.…

  • What’s In Fab Fit Fun’s Fall 2018 Box

    It’s a bizarre contradiction. As much as I hate clutter, I love the surprise and delight of subscription boxes. There’s always a new array of unexpected items to try and check out; things I may not splurge for on their own but realized I’d love to try. But those things can quickly pile up (and…

  • Check Out What Comes In Amazon’s Free Baby Registry Box

    It’s hard to resist free swag. Especially as you’re staring at pages and pages of search results for baby gear, all revealing thousands of things that are suddenly new parent must-haves for surviving life with an infant. All I saw were dollar signs — and felt a little overwhelmed at what I needed to buy…

  • The Little Detail That Sets ‘Making It’ Apart From Other Competition Shows

    Let me go right out and say it: I don’t like most home decor shows. Or reality competition shows. Both tend to be wallpaper TV to me; something you put on in the background to have some ambient noise while you unload the dishwasher or fold laundry. I don’t get invested. Or that interested, for…

  • What I Wish I Knew Before Booking A Norwegian Cruise Lines Vacation

    For years, I’ve dreamed of visiting Greece. The aqua-to-turquoise waters, the blue-domed white buildings, the culture, the pastichio — so this year, Nate and I set out to make it happen. There were so many places I wanted to see that the cost of hopping from island to island started to add up quickly, and…

  • My Weird, Wild Trip Down The Oregon Trail

    If you grew up during the ’90s, chances are you played Oregon Trail, the educational video game where you did little more than press buttons and ration your spendings (and meals) until you either made the 2,200-mile trek … or died of dysentery. And it seemed like everyone died of dysentery. So much so that…

    One of the best parts of summer is uncovering fun things to do that were totally off your radar — a street fair, a chance encounter with the ice cream truck, an impromptu cookout with friends.
