Benefits To Attract Top Talent Employers are going the extra mile to attract and keep quality workers. Here are a few niche offerings: Free college tuition Adoption and surrogacy assistance Mortgage rate buyouts Paid vacations with a stipend Medical benefits for domestic partnerships Company retreats to music festivals Why Is This Okay For Men, But Not Women? “Being topless in public.” "Not changing their name when they get married. (This varies by location.)" "Making their careers their first priority." “Not shaving.” "Saying we don't want to have kids. I don't know why women can't say that without being told it's the reason why they're here on earth. My boyfriend even said that only women who used their wombs would go to Heaven because they fulfilled God's purpose for them." "Be a single parent. 'Oh, he’s so amazing for looking after his own children!'" "Being introverted and reserved. And not smiling. Women who are quiet are deemed stuck-up, get accused of having an attitude, and get told to smile more. Men don't deal with that particular issue as much." Pasta Makes You Happy According to the study , eating pasta is linked to feelings of increased happiness, reduced stress and greater mindfulness, especially when it’s enjoyed in a social setting with loved ones.

Was Marcus The Reason Corey & Her Husband Got In A Fight? 36:22

3 days ago36:22

Hey there, Happy Friday Eve. Here's some stuff. Corey Got In A Fight With Her Husband And she blames Marcus. Marcus bullies her in the morning, Jeff bullies her in the afternoon. She needs a break. Foods You're Storing Incorrectly Butter: Salted butter can hang out on the counter for a couple of days and still be safe, especially if your kitchen stays below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Unsalted butter, though, is more delicate and should live in the fridge. Opened Canned Goods: Once you open that can of tuna, soup, or beans, it’s time to pop it in the fridge. While some fruits may last a little at room temp, it’s best to transfer leftovers into a glass or plastic container to preserve flavor. Eggs: In the U.S., eggs are washed before sale, which removes their protective layer and makes refrigeration essential. Leave them out for too long and bacteria can sneak in through the shell. Keep them in their carton, in the coldest part of your fridge. Flour: White flour is pretty chill in the pantry, but whole wheat flour is a little high-maintenance. It can go rancid faster because of its oils. To make it last, keep it in an airtight container and consider stashing it in the fridge or even the freezer. Bonus: no surprise funky smells when you bake. Hot Sauce: Hot sauce doesn’t have to be refrigerated, but doing so helps preserve its punchy flavor for longer. If you’re not a frequent hot sauce user, go ahead and pop it in the fridge. The spice level won’t fade, and your tacos will thank you. The USDA says you should consume the bottle within six months of putting it in your pantry. Jams and Jellies: Once opened, these sugary spreads belong in the fridge to prevent mold and yeast growth. Low-sugar varieties are especially sensitive and can spoil faster. Keep them cool and they’ll stay delicious for up to a year. Ketchup: You can leave ketchup out if stored at room temperature, but it’ll stay fresher much longer if you refrigerate it after opening. You can even stash it in the fridge door for easy access because it’s less temperature-sensitive than milk or eggs. Maple Syrup: Unopened syrup lasts ages in the pantry, but once it’s open, move it to the fridge. According to the USDA, unopened syrup in plastic bottles can last two years in the pantry and up to two years if its refrigerated. If the syrup is sold in glass bottles, it will remain fresh in the pantry for a whopping four years from date of purchase…and indefinitely if you stick it in the refrigerator. Mayonnaise: That creamy jar of mayo is not something to mess around with. After opening, keep it in the fridge door and use it within two months. And don’t freeze it or it’ll separate and get weird. Peanut Butter: Regular peanut butter is fine in the pantry. It can stay fresh for up to two years unopened, and another three months after its opened. But if you go the natural route, it’s best to keep it chilled to prevent the oils from going off. Pickles and Olives: If they’re swimming in brine and sealed tight, pickles are generally safe at room temp for short periods. But once opened, keep them in the fridge for max crunch and freshness. The same goes for olives, just make sure they’re always submerged in liquid. For best freshness, refrigerated pickles in brine should be eaten within one to three months after they’ve been opened, but canned olives should be eaten within two weeks. Salad Dressing: If your dressing was sold cold, it should stay cold even before opening. Once that seal is broken, creamy dressings last about a month and vinaigrettes a little longer. Unopened creamy or vinaigrette salad dressing that weren’t sold cold can stay ok in the pantry for up to six months, but they should be put in the fridge once you open them. Signs You're Struggling With Bore-Out Common signs experts say might indicate you’re experiencing boreout include: Feeling uninterested in tasks and mentally checked out Faking being busy to look productive Seeing no opportunity for growth or promotion Spending time on non-work activities like scrolling or taking extra-long breaks Making careless mistakes, feel sluggish, and question your value at work Isolating from coworkers and experience low mood or apathy To fix boreout, experts suggest: Acknowledging the problem — Recognizing boreout is the first step toward change Talking to your manager — Ask for new challenges or more meaningful responsibilities Adding variety — Volunteer for different projects or collaborate with new people Gamifying your tasks — Turn boring work into a competition with yourself or coworkers Changing your environment — If possible, mix up your routine or workspace Reconnecting with others — Build relationships beyond small talk to boost engagement Second Date Update Declan and Taylor got coffee in Sausalito, then took a drive through the Marin Headlands. What could have caused her to ghost?…

Do Parents Judge Other Parents' Parenting Skills? 33:03

Parenting Habits That Other Parents Judge Letting her kids run wild in public - Some moms let their kids climb on furniture, run around stores and yell in restaurants, and they definitely get the side-eye for it. Pretending that her kids are perfect - We all brag about our little ones, but no kid is perfect and acting like yours has no flaws is bound to make people roll their eyes. Over-posting her kids online - There’s nothing wrong with sharing milestones of your family’s life, but documenting every little thing can be too much. Letting her kids interrupt adult conversations - Kids deserve to be seen and heard, but that doesn’t mean they should be constantly interrupting people talking. Using her kids as an excuse for everything - Sure, life is hectic with kids, but they can’t be the reason you’re late for everything or always back out of commitments. Publicly shaming or harshly disciplining her kids - Hitting, shaming or embarrassing your kid in front of other people is emotionally damaging. Ignoring her child’s bad behavior - Enabling your kid when they misbehave isn’t doing them any favors. If you don’t correct them when they’re rude, aggressive or entitled because you think it’s okay for your child to behave that way, don’t be surprised when people judge you harshly for it.⠀ Things Relaxed People Do Shake off self-doubt Own everything that’s happened to them Indulge in a daily pleasure Master their mind Turn off the news Accept people as they are Refuse to indulge in drama Pay close attention to their mood Ask one question every single day Social Dilemma On IG Lauren on Instagram DMs writes: My boss follows me on social media and likes my old photos, sometimes comments on vacation pics, and even once referenced a post during a meeting. It’s never been inappropriate, but it’s starting to feel a bit invasive. I want to block or mute her, but I’m afraid it’ll cause drama or negatively affect my job. Is there a professional way to set boundaries on social media or do I just have to live with it? Second Date Update Brad and Trina go for a nice dinner.

Firefighters Use Narcan To Revive Puppy Exposed To Fentanyl The Bottom Line: Firefighters in Lacey, Washington, saved an unresponsive puppy exposed to fentanyl by administering Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses. The treatment was successful, and the puppy has recovered well. The fire department says such cases are rare, but they say they’re always ready to handle all types of emergencies. The Full Story:Earlier this week, firefighters from Lacey Fire District 3 in Washington State found an unresponsive puppy inside a vehicle where fentanyl was present. The crew immediately administered a small dose of Narcan to the puppy, a medication commonly used to reverse opioid overdoses. The fire department says the treatment worked and the puppy is now doing well.Narcan, also known as naloxone, is an opioid antagonist that quickly reverses the effects of drugs like fentanyl by blocking opioid receptors. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid, and according to the FDA, even a tiny amount can be dangerous for dogs. Despite the unusual nature of the situation, the firefighters’ training enabled them to respond effectively and save the puppy.The Lacey Fire District 3 shared photos of the puppy wrapped in a blanket and receiving care, writing that while using Narcan on a dog is rare, their teams are prepared for all emergencies.

Things I Like More As I Get Older This was on Reddit. Here are a few examples, what would be one of yours? "Myself." "Silence and people canceling plans – that’s foreplay now." "Being at home, being in bed by 11pm, and grocery shopping." "Not having plans." "Having real conversations, no phone, hanging out with myself, and the self respect I have gained over the years with no need to please others. It's like a breath of fresh air." "Not giving a s**t what people think is an incredible feeling." "Birdwatching. Sorry – 'birding'." Things Men Do When They Are Alone This was from Buzzfeed. We threw in a few of ours as well. "I take five decorative pillows off the bed and put them in the closet until the morning of her return." "I cook a package of bacon and save the drippings. I cook basically everything in that fat until it’s gone. My wife and daughter are vegetarians." "FINALLY, a chance to clean up without anyone in the way! Turn up the music and bust out the broom and mop and rags! Go outside for a smoke and get to it!" "I don't know, but it's not gonna involve pants." "Back in my early 20s, I would immediately pull the mattress off the bed and drag it into the living room, drive to Hooters and grab a giant bucket of wings, then come home and sit on my living room bed eating wings. Now, in my mid-40s, I fire up Farming Simulator and an audiobook." The Best Exercise For Sleep Aerobic exercise - Workouts that raise the heart and breathing rates, like cycling and running, can make falling asleep by lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. Strength training - Lifting weights or working out with resistance bands can also help you sleep better. Yoga - The practice of stretching and breathing can boost mindfulness and lower stress, as well as relax the nervous system and improve sleep quality. Walking - Even a simple brisk walk in the fresh air can ease stress and anxiety, which can lower cortisol and positively affect sleep quality.

I finally got my birthday gift from my sister. The card had pictures of cheese on the front, with the word "fromage." That's the French word for cheese, just in case you didn't know. Which is cool, because we just went to Paris. On the inside it was a blank card. All it said was: OUI'D and then her signature...her full name with her middle initial. No "I love you," or "happy birthday." This the same woman who saw a good pic of me and texted this question: "Are you Team Zempy?" Like I must be on Ozempic to look good. Siblings, discuss.

These Are The Dirtiest Spots In Your Hotel Room 33:42

Dirtiest Parts Of Your Hotel According To The Housekeepers Decorative pillows - These don’t get washed often, if at all. High-touch surfaces - Hotel room phones are the most unsanitary item. Higher-end hotels may give remotes, light switches and phones a wipe down before every check-in, but don’t count on it. Carpets - They tend to trap dust and bacteria. Hidden contamination spots - This is stuff tucked away, like barware inside drawers, that may be handled by guests without housekeeping staff knowing. Also, bathtubs with jets, only take a bath at a hotel if it’s a “super luxe five star hotel and only if it’s a non-jet bathtub.” Hard to reach spots - High ceilings, chandeliers, ceiling fans, curtain rods and shower heads, which may be overlooked during a standard hotel room cleaning. Things Classy People Do Adopting stress management techniques. Classy people have stress in their lives, they just use techniques such as yoga or meditation to keep away anxiety . Learning to control their impulses. They keep their cool and stay even keeled, even when emotions are at its highest. Practice delayed response techniques, like counting to 10 before reacting. Dedicating time to being alone. Just like they show up for other people, classy people show up for themselves, too. Doing things that scare them. Rather than running from the things that make them uncomfortable, they do them. They face their challenges. Cultivating a healthy inner circle of people. They know that having a healthy inner circle will help them promote healthy habits. They also know that toxic people will stagnate their own growth. How Pets Keep Your Mind Sharp As You Age Recent research suggests that owning a cat or dog can actually slow down cognitive decline in older adults. Daily Walks = Brain Gains: Taking your dog out for regular walks doesn’t just keep your legs moving…it also boosts circulation and reduces stress, both of which support brain health. Routine, Routine, Routine: Pets thrive on consistency, and guess what? So does your brain. Feeding, grooming, and playtime create a structured day, which has been linked to better cognitive functioning in older adults. Conversation Starters with Fur: Walking a dog or sharing funny cat stories is a great way to connect with others, and socializing is key for brain health. Emotional Support: Pets are amazing at sensing your mood and offering comfort just when you need it. That emotional bond can lower stress levels. Mental Stimulation Through Play: Playing with your pet keeps you engaged and alert, whether it's tossing a ball or hiding treats. These mini-challenges promote problem-solving and coordination. They Make You Laugh, And That’s Good for You: Laughter has been shown to lower stress and stimulate brain activity, and pets are basically fuzzy comedians.

Four Types Of Food That Make You Smell People with the rare disorder trimethylaminuria can give off a fishy odor after eating seafood. Vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage contain sulfur that escapes through breath, sweat, and gas. Spices like curry and cumin send volatile oils into the bloodstream, then out through sweat glands, leaving a lingering aroma. Red meat can also boost odor by releasing proteins that react with skin microbes. Biggest Thing Successful Couples Do Relationship expert Jane Smith says that the secret to a happy relationship is simple…and not a surprise She believes couples who talk openly and honestly can better understand each other’s needs and feelings She advises setting aside time each day to talk without distractions, like phones or TV, to build a stronger connection Timing Your Shower Can Help You Sleep Taking a warm shower one to two hours before bed helps your body temperature drop, which signals your brain it's time to sleep. This matches your natural body clock and can help you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Evening showers also have a creative bonus. When your mind is relaxed, you might come up with new ideas or solutions to problems you've been thinking about. If you need better sleep, try warm evening showers. If you want more energy in the morning, cold morning showers work well. Second Date Update Tori and Evan went for Mediterranean food in Jack London Square.

Americans Are Divided On AI Americans are divided on the implications of artificial intelligence. According to a recent Gallup poll, 49-percent of U.S. adults surveyed said AI is "just the latest in a long line of technological advancements that humans will learn to use to improve their lives and society." But the polling also found that the other 49-percent of respondents said AI is "very different from the technological advancements that came before, and threatens to harm humans and society."

Get Rid Of Anxiety In Seconds With These Simple Steps 36:23

How To Relieve Anxiety In Seconds Dr. Anita Phillips, a trauma therapist, says you can deal with anxiety in just seconds. The first exercise is called the "voo" technique. You take a deep breath in, then breathe out while making the sound "voo" for as long as your exhale lasts. The vibration you feel helps work anxiety out of your body. The second exercise is called tension release. You breathe in calmly, then as you breathe out, you tighten up your whole body. Then you breathe in again and relax everything. Making your body tense on purpose and then letting it go helps your mind feel more relaxed too. Phillips also suggests "shaking it out" while brushing your teeth - start by shaking your bottom, then let the shake move up through your whole body. See me perform these exercises on the IG. Happiest Shift Workers America’s most cheerful hourly employees are selling vapes, weed, and smokes, according to a new report. Over 1.51 million end-of-shift survey responses paint a less-than-ideal picture of the state of the union for wage workers. While the Net Happiness Score — the report’s metric for general workplace wellbeing — clocked in fairly high at 71.86%. The happiest industry sector turned out to be e-cigarette and marijuana stores, with 91.87% of employees saying they feel “good” or “amazing” about their jobs. They’re closely followed by caterers, baristas, dentists, and those who work in gyms, firearms stores, and sit-down restaurants. Successful Couples Do These 4 Things In The AM Couples should say hello to each other in the morning. That tells your partner "I see you. You're alive. I'm alive. I appreciate you." Second, successful couples make small loving gestures for each other. This might mean making coffee for your partner, putting out their robe, or setting up their breakfast bowl. Third, they spend a few minutes together in the morning, even if it's just having coffee. It reminds them that even when the day gets stressful, they need to make time for what really matters. Finally, successful couples include physical affection like a kiss or hug before leaving for work. This releases feel-good hormones like oxytocin, which strengthens their bond and makes them want to grow closer together. Second Date Update: Nate and Brianna met on Hinge.

My Girlfriend's Apartment Is Giving Me Anxiety How would you handle this? You want to move in with your girlfriend, but she has a ton of knick-knacks, plants and just plain stuff. He is a minimalist and feels like he couldn't move in with her if she didn't at least get rid of half of it. No Makeup On The First Date In general, Gen Z has trended towards skipping out on classic date nights like traditional dinners and drinks in favor of more adventurous, active ventures like ocean swims, yoga sessions, or rock climbing. These activities allow potential paramours to get to know each other without the pressure of sitting across from each other and talking for hours on end — though eventually, there comes a point in a relationship where this is necessary. The latest move to ease the tension and anxiety of a first date ? No makeup, a la Pamela Anderson. Both Millennials and Gen Zers have taken to the Internet to share their experiences with the movement, and overall, they’re psyched about their new looks, and the confidence boosts it can — potentially, as @ madisonoud pointed out — bring with it. (No thanks, Tom Hanks) Looking Good Vs Feeling Good Along the same vein, people are saying that feeling healthy makes them feel attractive. Exercising and eating well, give the confidence a boost. Let me guess, you should cut ut alcohol? Booooooo. Second Date Update Jordan and Elise met at a birthday party. They discover they love puzzles, so they go to an Escape Room for their first date.

Americans Are Struggling To Get Off The Couch. Maybe it shouldn't be so comfy. Americans just aren’t as active as they used to be pre-pandemic, according to a new study. It finds that we’re still logging about six hours of sitting time today, the same as it was in 2021. It seems the technology we started using during lockdown, like Zoom meetings and delivery apps are to blame for us being so sedentary.
