5 innovative (and useful!) hot tools we’re using every single morning

December 12, 2018 at 01:39PM When it comes to hot tools, most women reach for the trinity: hair dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. Admittedly, however, these tools haven’t really changed a whole heck of a lot since my mom initially introduced me to them years ago as a pre-teen. But the past few years have been filled with hot takes on hair tools. I’m talking hot-iron brushes, air wrapping curling wands, and battery-operated straighteners that allow you to finally cut the cord and help your hair do its thing. So, happily, I’d like to introduce you to a new generation of hot tools that are easy to use, multi-tasking wonders that help to smooth strands, bring major volume, and add a bend to hair in unique new ways. Keep scrolling for the top 5 hair tools that just got major upgrades. Photo: Drybar Drybar The Brush Crush Heated Straightening Brush, $145 I’m all for a flatiron, but if you have knots in your hair, it’s not gonna help you out. This Drybar creation combines the ability to detangle plus smooth out strands. You simply brush your hair like you would normally, but this device magically makes your hair super smooth—like, you’re not going to have any frizz after using it. If your goal is to simply make your hair pin-straight, I’d suggest sticking with a traditional iron, but—especially if you’re prone to frizz—this tool is great for keeping stray hairs under control.

Everything you need to know about eating raw eggs, just in time for eggnog season

December 12, 2018 at 01:35PM Ah, the holidays: Lifetime is playing holiday movies 24/7 and the air smells faintly of gingerbread-scented candles everywhere you go. (Or maybe that’s just someone’s gingerbread-scented lotion?) And for a lot of people, a big part of the season involves sipping eggnog and stealing bites of cookie dough while making holiday treats. Which raises an important question: What’s the deal with eating raw eggs? (They’re a main ingredient in traditional eggnog recipes, after all.) It’s not just a Christmas thing, either. People often stir raw eggs into smoothies for an extra hit of protein, and they’re a starring ingredient in pretty common foods like Caesar salad dressing and Hollandaise sauce. So if everyone else is doing it…it can’t be that bad for you, right? Here’s what you should know before you start downing the ‘nog. Are there any benefits to eating raw eggs? Eggs in general have come a long way from the days when people were convinced they caused heart problems and high cholesterol. In fact, eggs have a lot of health benefits: 1. They’re full of healthy fats. You don’t have to be a ketogenic diet follower to know that eggs—raw or cooked—are a fantastic source of healthy fats, which help you stay full and satisfied for longer. They even naturally contain a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids (you know, the stuff that’s good for your brain and heart health), with fortified eggs containing even more of the nutrient. 2. They’re high in

The takeout order having a moment right not: cauliflower rice (We called it)

December 12, 2018 at 10:53AM Last week, meal delivery service Grubhub released its annual data report giving the inside scoop on what exactly people are ordering—and surprisingly it’s not primarily pizza and burgers. Takeout food is getting healthier and there’s one veggie in particular people are ordering en masse: cauliflower. According to Grubhub—which analyzed millions of orders in 1,700 cities nationwide—orders for buffalo cauliflower are up 124 percent this year, and cauliflower rice bowl orders are up 155 percent. Interesting, right? This shows that not only are more people seeking out cauliflower-based entrees, but it also means that it’s becoming an option at more restaurants, too. (Not to brag, but we totally called it, BTW.) Cauliflower rice bowl orders are up 155 percent. Think about it: Were buffalo cauli bites even on the menu at bars alongside chicken wings a few years ago? Or cauli fried rice? The rise in cauliflower is undeniable—Google searches for cauliflower rice, for example, are up 60 percent—and restaurants are responding by starting to incorporate it into more classic takeout foods. (Prediction: Cauli-pizza orders are going to be next on the rise—you heard it here first.) But the cruciferous veg isn’t the only plant-based food Grubhub says people are getting delivered. Bean burrito orders are up 276 percent (making it the most popular healthy takeout item of the year), and red meat based foods (like burgers) didn’t make the top 10 list at all. It’s good to know you don’t have to spend hours meal prepping
