By Betty Gold Want to eat healthier and save more money in 2020? Contrary to popular belief, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible to make better food choices without spending a fortune; you just have to know where to look. First things first. Start by cooking more at home, because it hits two birds with one stone.

It’s probably not as hip today. What about your foundation? Have you used the same one throughout your 20s? That isn’t the best choice for your skin. For a polished, glowy look, it’s important to ensure your rituals are healthy, age-appropriate, and leave you feeling beautiful.

By Stacey Leasca Raise your hand if you’re listening to this while wearing earbuds? Headphones—and more specifically earbuds, like Apple AirPods and EarPods, that fit snugly in the ear canal—have pretty much become a part of our daily lives.

Their pre-packaged, lightweight nature makes them perfectly portable, and they’re often packed with delicious, nutritious ingredients that’ll help stave off hunger until the next real meal.
