from Women's Health Nasal strips aren’t just for sleeping anymore. Several athletes, like Madison Keys, several soccer players, and even Hyrox participants have started wearing these strips from brands like Breathe Right, Strippy, Gale, Dream Recovery, and Intake. They supposedly improve airflow to better your workout performance—but do they really work? In theory, it seems possible. When you breathe through the nose, air flows through your nasal passageways and nasal valve (

from Healthline.com Dark showering is a new sleep trend that involves showering with the lights dimmed or off completely. Advocates say it can help the mind relax, reduce stress, and make it easier to fall asleep. Experts suggest the ritual may support melatonin production and temperature regulation.

from 9 to 4 Mac iPhone Flip is being tested by Apple, per supply chain leak This fall, the iPhone will get one of its most radical new models ever as a new foldable form factor debuts.

from RD.com For what feels like eons, Costco members have been pretty annoyed that they had to head into the physical warehouse to order a customized 10-inch round cake or half-sheet cake. These cakes, which are actually cost-effective buys when you need enough dessert for a group, required way more effort to order than they actually should—especially in the digital era we’ve been living in for decades now. Currently, to get your hands on a custom cake, you have to walk to th

from Lifehacker What the study found In the delightfully named SODAS trial (Study Of Drinks with Artificial Sweeteners), researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, recruited adults who had type 2 diabetes and who had a habit of drinking artificially sweetened beverages (including, but not limited to, my one true love Diet Coke). The study was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Diabe

from Billboard The U.S. rock veterans played a sold-out marathon set at UTAS Stadium in Launceston on Saturday (Jan. 24), marking their first Tasmanian performance in more than a decade and their debut concert in the state’s second-largest city. The show, which ran close to three hours, was the band’s only Australian date on the current visit. Late in the set, Grohl addressed the crowd with a major update on the band’s next chapter, confirming that Foo Fighters have recently

from RD.com For Costco’s mega fans, the warehouse club rarely does anything wrong. In fact, even when they don’t do something right, many (myself included) will come to Costco’s defense as their unpaid apologists. Case in point: I’m still trying to walk back my $10 roast beef sandwich mistake with some unforgiving friends—the Costco food court discontinued it quickly, okay? Yes, Costco can be perfectly imperfect, like when they get rid of Kirkland Signature items that everyon

Winter trees and sky from Jan. 13 2026 in Las Vegas, NV. The bare look of trees in winter is a favorite photo subject to me. These are from a photo walk with a Lomography Simple Use 35mm camera . They shoot like and look like a disposable but these all plastic cameras are reloadable. They come with film but I loaded Kentmere 200 in this. The camera has no adjustments other than a flash option and is 31mm f/9 1/120 shutter and cost about $20 new with film. My version for these

I started walking backwards. No not all the time! I do it at a park when I walk about 1.5 to 2 miles on kind of a track. It is a really short track, about 0.1 miles, and I do about half a lap backwards. I had a really annoying IT band problem on my left hip. Walking backwards has helped and lots of stretching is also in my mix. In addition to that I think it has improved my balance and overall flexibility. I walk slower when I go backwards and I really feel different muscles

Mmm this is good. Yes you can make it. if you are a little afraid of making pizza dough a local pizza place will probably sell you some. This makes a flaky puff crust pizza.

I love Cadillac but have never owned one. The electric cars are cool, the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing are super cool and they are going to be in F1 this year. Cadillac sales have been booming for the last 12 quarters. Eighty percent of buyers now are trading in from brands that have eaten Cadillac's lunch over the last couple of decades -- BMW , Audi, Merc, even Tesla. Cadillac scored the second-highest in the J.D. Power US Tech Experience Index 2025 , just behind Genesis , and

Tuesday or Wednesday mornings before opening are the quietest at Costco, (they often open a little early) with additional lulls in the mid-afternoon hours. The last 30–60 minutes before closing often sees lighter traffic, outside of holiday rushes. Exact busy times vary by location, so ask your local store for guidance. more at Delish

This is a crazy thing that was at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. ZDnet reported on a lollipop that plays music in your mouth. It plays 1 song, in this case Akon "Beautiful Day, Ice Spice "Munch, Baddie Baddie, Big Guy" or Armani White "Mount Pleasant." So what's the point? I don't know. I guess a fun promotional item for a musician. You can buy them at the Lollipop Star website Read about it at ZDnet
