    We’re Banking On These 6 Bathroom Trends Being What’s Next In 2026 (& Beyond)

    Bathroom trends (much like kitchen trends) are a funny thing to evaluate on a year-to-year basis because they simply do not move that quickly. If they did, by the time you got through the design process, material selection, permitting, contingencies and snafus, and then final install, your spaces would already be obsolete. That would simply be a ridiculous and wasteful way to live in our homes. That is not to say there isn’t anything to talk about, though, because there’s always a new idea, color trend (like these I wrote up recently for 2026), or material popping onto our radar…

    The Easy, High Impact Upgrades Mallory Made To Her Vintage Bathroom

    It’s the last reveal in my apartment before I move you guys!! If you want to see the rest of the space, I already revealed the kitchen, living room, dining room, and of course, the famous closet speakeasy. I’ve done A LOT to this space as a renter, and yes, I’ll have to reverse some of these DIYs when I move out (which is sad but also expected). To me, I’ve gotten to live in such an incredible space that healed me and truly felt like home. That was my one goal when moving in here: to make the space…

    Creamy Almond Butter and Banana Smoothie

    Active time: 5 minutes Total time: 5 minutes This creamy smoothie tastes like a nutritious milkshake that is totally acceptable for breakfast or, better yet, after a workout. Ground flaxseeds up your fiber intake without sacrificing taste (making it great for kids or picky eaters). For this recipe you’ll want unsweetened and unsalted natural almond butter to control the amount of added sugar sugar and sodium in the smoothie. We also like to use an almond butter made with roasted almonds for a more toasty, nutty flavor. This is a great post-workout meal as it has more than 20g of…

    How To Plan a Stress-Free Vacation: Simple Tips

    Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog Start With a Clear Definition of “Relaxing” A vacation feels stressful when the plan is built around a “perfect” schedule instead of real energy. Before booking, pick a simple goal such as slower mornings, more sleep, or fewer choices. Use that goal as a filter for where to stay and how much to do. In Short: A calm trip is designed around recovery, not a packed itinerary. Match the Trip to Energy and Time The lowest-stress trips fit the time available…

    Louisiana Shrimp Dip

    My Louisiana shrimp dip is rich, savory, and full of flavor without feeling heavy. You can serve it warm or cold. It has the perfect creamy texture, and all those bold Louisiana flavors really come together. This Is How You Do Shrimp Dip Balanced Louisiana flavor: Cajun or Creole seasoning, lemon juice, and Worcestershire add a little tang without overpowering the shrimp. Sweetness: Shallots keep the dip mild and slightly sweet, which lets the shrimp shine. Perfect Texture: Butter is my secret ingredient for the best, creamy, spreadable texture. Louisiana Shrimp Dip Ingredients Seasoning: You can use Creole or Cajun seasoning,…

    7-Tips to Eat Better When You’re Dining Out (Without Overthinking It)

    Ever find yourself grabbing lunch at a mall food court or pulling into a drive-through because the day got away from you? You’re not alone. Research shows that about one in three adults eats fast food on any given day.(1) And while I’m a dietitian, I’m also realistic. When time is tight, convenience often wins. The good news? Eating on the go doesn’t mean you have to hit pause on your nutrition goals. While these meals may look different from what you’d make at home, there are often smarter choices hiding in plain sight. It’s about aiming for better, not…
