If you were to ask a random group of people‚ &;quot;How often do you wash your sheets&;#63;&;quot; you'd likely get drastically different answers. There are the &;quot;Every single Sunday without fail&;quot; folks‚ the &;quot;Who on Earth washes their sheets weekly&;#63;&;#33;&;#63;&;quot; people and everyone in between. According to a survey of 1‚000 Americans conducted by Mattress Advisor‚ the average time between sheet changings or washings in the U.S. is 24 days—or every 3 1/2 weeks‚ approximately. The same survey revealed that 35 days is the average interval at which unwashed sheets are &;quot;gross.&;quot; Some of you are cringing at those stats while others are thinking‚ &;quot;That sounds about right.&;quot; But how often should you wash your sheets‚ according to experts&;#63; Hint: It's a lot more frequent than 24 days. While there is no definitive number of days or weeks‚ most experts recommend swapping out used sheets for clean ones every week or two. Dermatologist Alok Vij‚ MD told Cleveland Clinic that people should wash their sheets at least every two weeks‚ but probably more often if you have pets‚ live in a hot climate‚ sweat a lot‚ are recovering from illness‚ have allergies or asthma or if you sleep naked. We shed dead skin all the time‚ and friction helps those dead skin cells slough off‚ so imagine what's happening every time you roll over and your skin rubs on the sheets. It's normal to sweat in your sleep‚ too‚ so that's also getting on your sheets. And then there's dander and dust mites and dirt that we carry around on us just from living in the world‚ all combining to make for pretty dirty sheets in a fairly short period of time‚ even if they look &;quot;clean.&;quot;Maybe if you shower before bed and always wear clean pajamas you could get by with a two-week sheet swap cycle‚ but weekly sheet cleaning seems to be the general consensus among the experts. The New York Times consulted five books about laundry and cleaning habits‚ and once a week was what they all recommend. Sorry‚ once-a-monthers. You may want to step up your sheet game a bit. What about the rest of your bedding&;#63; Blankets and comforters and whatnot&;#63; Sleep.com recommends washing your duvet cover once a week‚ but this depends on whether you use a top sheet. Somewhere between the Gen X and Millennial eras‚ young folks stopped being about the top sheet life‚ just using their duvet with no top sheet. If that's you‚ wash that baby once a week. If you do use a top sheet‚ you can go a couple weeks longer on the duvet cover.For blankets and comforters and duvet inserts‚ Sleep.com says every 3 months. And for decorative blankets and quilts that you don't really use‚ once a year washing will suffice. What about pillows&;#63; Pillowcases should go in with the weekly sheet washing‚ but pillows themselves should be washed every 3 to 6 months. Washing pillows can be a pain‚ and if you don't do it right‚ you can end up with a lumpy pillow‚ but it's a good idea because between your sweat‚ saliva and skin cells‚ pillows can start harboring bacteria. Finally‚ how about the mattress itself&;#63; Home influencers on TikTok can often be seen stripping their beds‚ sprinkling their mattress with baking soda‚ brushing it into the mattress fibers and then vacuuming it all out. Architectural Digest says the longer you leave baking soda on the mattress‚ the better—at least a few hours‚ but preferably overnight. Some people add a few drops of essential oil to the baking soda for some extra yummy smell. If that all sounds like way too much work‚ maybe just start with the sheets. Pick a day of the week and make it your sheet washing day. You might find that climbing into a clean‚ fresh set of sheets more often is a nice way to feel pampered without a whole lot of effort.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic‚ people took toilet paper—especially its availability—for granted. Everyone who experienced those hectic days probably has a new appreciation when they roll down the aisle of their local supermarket and see fully stocked shelves of TP.A new trend shows that people aren’t only appreciating their toilet paper but finding new ways to use it that go beyond its traditional use: keeping toilet paper in their refrigerators. The most common reason is that it is an effective and affordable way to keep them smelling fresh and clean. It seems that TP’s absorbent qualities go far beyond the bathroom.The new practice has been popularized on TikTok‚ where most new life hack trends seem to be springing up these days.In late September‚ TikTok user @Ezenwanyibackup shared a toilet-paper-in-the-fridge hack‚ and it received over 1400 views. The hack involves creating a paste out of baking soda and applying it to the top of the roll. &;quot;Now‚ just stick it in your fridge‚&;quot; the TikTokker said. &;quot;This simple hack is going to neutralize all the smell and moisture that messes up your fridge‚ keeping your food fresh and tasty for way longer.&;quot; @ezenwanyibackup Just put a roll of toilet paper in your fridge‚ and you won't have that problem anymore&;#33; #ezenwanyibackup #foryoupage #homemaderemedies #healthy #homemaderecipes #foryou #diy #naturalrecipes #recipe #fypã‚·ã‚šviral @ezenwanyibackup @ezenwanyibackup @ezenwanyibackup @This Recipe @Queen ezenwanyi1 Smartfoxlifehacks has also helped promote the new trend in kitchen cleanliness with his video‚ where he shares how he keeps toilet paper in his fridge. He recommends that people change their rolls every 3 to 4 weeks. He claims the &;quot;trick&;quot; comes from the hotel industry because the toilet paper “absorbs odors.&;quot; @smartfoxlifehacks This is a secret Trick from Hotels… 😱🦊 #lifehack #tipsandtricks #cleaningtricks #cleaninghacks Another TikTokker‚ @Drewfrom63rd1‚ has a unique use for the toilet paper in his fridge. He chills it and then uses it as an ice pack to keep his food cold. “You can use this as an ice pack‚” he says‚ putting a roll out of his fridge. “It does really work. It lasts about 8 hours.” @drewfrom63rd1 Replying to @wgez House Digest explains why toilet paper is so effective at keeping your fridge smelling fresh.“For obvious reasons‚ toilet paper is designed to be extremely absorbent‚” Brooke Younger writes at House Digest. “However‚ it doesn't just absorb liquids on contact; it can also pull them from the surrounding air. If you've ever touched your bathroom's toilet paper roll after a steamy shower‚ you might notice that it feels a bit damp. Placing a clean toilet paper roll in your fridge will absorb some of the internal humidity and‚ with it‚ those stinky particles.”The site adds that toilet paper can also help keep dark‚ damp parts of your house‚ such as a closet or basement‚ stay fresh‚ too.The toilet paper hack is effective‚ and it’s also a great way to save money. The average roll of TP costs about $1‚ which is much cheaper than a refrigerator deodorizer that can set you back about $10.Now‚ for the sake of all the people who love this hack‚ let’s hope that word spreads so that no one gets any side-eye for having stacks of TP in their fridge. But we should also hope it doesn’t become so popular that people start hoarding toilet paper again. That wasn’t fun the first time.This article originally appeared on 11.20.23

The expectation to put on an air of happy‚ fun‚ pleasant nonconfrontation through baring teeth‚ otherwise known as smiling‚ is something many‚ if not most‚ women know very well. What’s more‚ this pressure is often introduced to women at a very early age.And obviously‚ while there’s nothing inherently wrong with naturally being a happy‚ smiling person‚ issues arise when kids are taught that being themselves‚ just as they are‚ isn’t acceptable. That’s why people are so impressed with North Carolina-based photographer Brooke Light’s (@bdlighted on TikTok) hands-off approach when it comes to taking pictures of young girls. Her philosophy is simple‚ but oh so poignant: Allow girls to show up‚ take up space‚ and perhaps most importantly‚ not smile if they don’t want to. Light posted a video showing some of her recent portraits‚ and truly‚ the work speaks for itself. Each of the girls’ distinct‚ unique personalities shine in these black-and-white images. Plus the lighting is moody and artsy and cool as hell. So much better than a forced‚ cheesy‚ smiling pic. Take a look: @bdlighted never underestimate the power of a photoshoot for your kids confidence #moodymini #kidsphotographer #childrensphotography #portraitphotographer #confidenceboost #kidsconfidence #familyphotoshootideas #familyphotoshoots #studiophotography #blackandwhitephoto #girlpower #girlempowerment #donttellmetosmile #momsofgirls #girlmom #greenscreen ♬ Little Girl Gone - CHINCHILLA Comments began flooding in commending Light for how she authentically portrayed the girls as individuals‚ rather than producing cookie-cutter images of them.“I love how they are not trying to be anything ‘extra’ just their own raw and savage selves‚” one person wrote. Another added‚ “I can feel their power through my phone.” Light redirected the praise toward her clients‚ saying‚ “They are even more amazing in person&;#33; Like that vibe you feel is ALL THEM. I’m just there capturing it.”For many women who had their own memories of being told to smile for photos‚ seeing the images had a profound effect. “CHILLS&;#33; This healed something in me. Thank you.” one person commented. “The Sears family photo trauma was REAL” wrote another.And for the record‚ Light doesn’t make boys smile either. Here’s the proof in her follow-up video: @bdlighted these mom's got me blushing in my DMs 🫣📸 I've never had my creativity or my photography validated so much in my life. thank you for the outpouring of love on these photos this week. it's meant more than you can ever know. #boymom #boymoms #moodymini #familyphotoshoots #familyphotoshootideas #portraitphotographer #studiophotography #kidsphotographer #kidsconfidence #childrensphotography #greenscreen ♬ Area Codes - Kali In the post‚ Light shared how touched she was by the overwhelmingly positive response.“I’ve never had my creativity or my photography validated so much in my life. Thank you for the outpouring of love on these photos this week. It’s meant more than you can ever know‚” she wrote. Imagine that…celebrating others for their authentic selves‚ then being celebrated yourself. Now that’s something worth smiling for. This article originally appeared on 6.2.23

The best advice isn’t always obvious‚ or else we would have thought of it ourselves. It often comes out of left field and can be counterintuitive. When it comes to marriage‚ the best advice tends to be centered around keeping a focus on the long game.One of the best pieces of marriage advice I ever received was‚ “Buy her a bottle of shampoo from time to time without her asking.” Now‚ that doesn’t mean to get shampoo specifically‚ but just pick up something here and there to show you care and are thinking about her. Marriage‚ if done right‚ is forever‚ so that often means taking a loss in the short-term to enjoy the long-term benefits of a happy life with someone. This is great as a concept but in practice can be pretty darn hard‚ day in and day out.Hence why about 50% of American marriages end in divorce.Reddit user thecountnotthesaint put out a call to the AskMen forum for some of the best marriage advice that “sounded absurd” but was actually helpful.The question was inspired by some advice the Reddit user had received from their father‚ who claimed that a king-sized bed is the key to a happy marriage. &;quot;I'll be damned if that wasn't one of the best decisions we made aside from getting married and having kids‚&;quot; they wrote.A lot of the advice was about being careful not to escalate small disagreements into larger arguments that could turn personal and ugly. A lot of people think that to have a successful marriage means being able to compromise and to let things go quickly.Here are some of the best responses to the question‚ “What random marriage advice sounded absurd but was actually spot on helpful&;#63;”1.&;quot;Dad said 'Be kind even if you’re not feeling it. Maybe especially if you’re not feeling it.'” — semantician2. &;quot;At my wedding‚ my wife's Grandmother offered so funny‚ weird‚ solid advice.

Anniversary on Monday&;#33;&;quot; — drizzyjdracco3. &;quot;The advice I’ve given people is this: if you can go grocery shopping with your person and have the best time ever‚ you have yourself a keeper. It’s all about making the best of the mundane things‚ because after years of being together‚ life becomes predictable. You’ll need to keep the spice going‚ regardless of what you’re doing.

What I learned is that he would always help my grandma and that is when they did their most talking.&;quot; — t4805. &;quot;When our kid was about to be born‚ someone told me to change the first diaper. If you can handle the first one‚ the others will be easy.' So I did. I didn't know what I was doing‚ so I asked the nurse at the hospital to teach me‚ and I changed the first several few diapers while my wife recovered from a difficult labor. The advice was correct‚ no other diaper was as disgusting as the first one. It got very easy and I never minded doing it‚ and my wife was really really grateful. And I loved that I could take on some of the parenting chores‚ since there was so much that she was the only one... equipped to provide.&;quot; — wordserious6. &;quot;Focus on tackling the problem‚ not each other.&;quot; — bobbobbobbobbob1237. &;quot;Don’t have too high of expectations.

One of the biggest problems with coffee production is that it generates an incredible amount of waste. Once coffee beans are separated from cherries‚ about 45% of the entire biomass is discarded.So for every pound of roasted coffee we enjoy‚ an equivalent amount of coffee pulp is discarded into massive landfills across the globe. That means that approximately 10 million tons of coffee pulp is discarded into the environment every year.When disposed of improperly‚ the waste can cause serious damage soil and water sources.However‚ a new study published in the British Ecological Society journal Ecological Solutions and Evidence has found that coffee pulp isn't just a nuisance to be discarded. It can have an incredibly positive impact on regrowing deforested areas of the planet.In 2018‚ researchers from ETH-Zurich and the University of Hawaii spread 30 dump trucks worth of coffee pulp over a roughly 100' x 130' area of degraded land in Costa Rica. The experiment took place on a former coffee farm that underwent rapid deforestation in the 1950s.The coffee pulp was spread three-feet thick over the entire area.Another plot of land near the coffee pulp dump was left alone to act as a control for the experiment.&;quot;The results were dramatic.&;quot; Dr. Rebecca Cole‚ lead author of the study‚ said. &;quot;The area treated with a thick layer of coffee pulp turned into a small forest in only two years while the control plot remained dominated by non-native pasture grasses.&;quot;In just two years‚ the area treated with coffee pulp had an 80% canopy cover‚ compared to just 20% of the control area. So‚ the coffee-pulp-treated area grew four times more rapidly. Like a jolt of caffeine‚ it reinvigorated biological activity in the area.The canopy was also four times taller than that of the control.The coffee-treated area also eliminated an invasive species of grass that took over the land and prevented forest succession. Its elimination allowed for other native species to take over and recolonize the area.&;quot;This case study suggests that agricultural by-products can be used to speed up forest recovery on degraded tropical lands. In situations where processing these by-products incurs a cost to agricultural industries‚ using them for restoration to meet global reforestation objectives can represent a 'win-win' scenario‚&;quot; Dr. Cole said.If the results are repeatable it's a win-win for coffee drinkers and the environment.Researchers believe that coffee treatments can be a cost-effective way to reforest degraded land. They may also work to reverse the effects of climate change by supporting the growth of forests across the globe.The 2016 Paris Agreement made reforestation an important part of the fight against climate change. The agreement incentivizes developing countries to reduce deforestation and forest degradation‚ promote forest conservation and sustainable management‚ and enhance forest carbon stocks in developing countries.&;quot;We hope our study is a jumping off point for other researchers and industries to take a look at how they might make their production more efficient by creating links to the global restoration movement‚&;quot; Dr. Cole said.This article originally appeared on 03.29.21

&;quot;Just because you didn't do marriage well doesn't mean you can't do divorce fabulously.&;quot; That's something my mother-in-law said to me when her son and I were ending our young‚ impetuous‚ and ultimately-not-right-for-us marriage. It stuck with me through the years. These sweet images from Brittany Peck's wedding have struck a chord with families across the Internet‚ and they seem to be getting that very same lesson about &;quot;doing divorce well&;quot; through to millions.The photographer got a clue something unusual was about to happen.Delia Blackburn‚ an Ohio photographer‚ was snapping pictures at the nuptials‚ as you do. She described to WKYC3 what happened when the father of the bride‚ Todd Bachman‚ approached her.&;quot;He said‚ 'I'm going to do something special‚ just be ready.'&;quot;Before Bachman finished walking his daughter down the aisle‚ he turned around in the direction of his daughter's stepdad‚ who was also in attendance.Then Brittany's stepdad details what happened next.“And he came up to me and reached out and grabbed my hand and he said‚ 'Hey‚ you've worked for this as hard as I have.' He said‚ 'You deserve this as much as I do. You're gonna help us walk OUR daughter down the aisle.' At that point‚ I had no clue what was going on.&;quot;— Todd Cendrosky‚ stepfather of Brittany PeckTodd B. looks like a dad on a mission — to be the coolest guy ever.“I got weak in the knees and everything — I couldn't have had anything better in my life. That was THE most important thing in my life.&;quot;— Brittany's stepdadTodd C. is like‚ &;quot;What is even happening right now&;#63;&;quot;Todd Bachmann explains his last-minute decision like this:“It hasn't always been peaches and cream‚ by any stretch of the imagination. ... There's no better way to thank somebody than to assist me walking my — walking OUR daughter — down the aisle.&;quot;​And that's how you do it‚ folks. And Brittany herself was pleased with the outcome.The bride sent a video message from her honeymoon to WKYC‚ saying‚ &;quot;We've seen it all‚ been through it all‚ but at the end of the day we're all happy.&;quot;Divided families know that love isn't a finite thing — there's enough to go around.This article originally appeared on 9.29.15

These are called &;quot;anti-homeless spikes.&;quot; They're about as friendly as they sound. As you may have guessed‚ they're intended to deter people who are homeless from sitting or sleeping on that concrete step. And yeah‚ they're pretty awful.The spikes are a prime example of how cities design spaces to keep homeless people away.Not all concrete steps have spikes on them‚ but outdoor seating in cities like Montreal and Tokyo have been sneakily designed to prevent people from resting too comfortably for too long.This guy sawing through a bench was part of a 2006 protest in Toulouse‚ France‚ where public seating intentionally included armrests to prevent people from lying down.Of course‚ these designs do nothing to fight the cause or problem of homelessness. They're just a way of saying to homeless people‚ &;quot;Go somewhere else. We don't want to look at you‚&;quot; basically.One particular set of spikes was outside a former night club in London. And a local group got sick of staring at them.Leah Borromeo is part of the art collective &;quot;Space‚ Not Spikes&;quot; — a group that's fed up with what she describes as &;quot;hostile architecture.&;quot;&;quot;Spikes do nothing more than shoo the realities of poverty and inequality away from your backyard — so you don't have to see it or confront what you can do to make things more equal‚&;quot; Borromeo told Upworthy. &;quot;And that is really selfish.&;quot;&;quot;Our moral compass is skewed if we think things like this are acceptable.&;quot;The move by Space‚ Not Spikes has caused quite a stir in London and around the world. The simple but impactful idea even garnered support from music artist Ellie Goulding.&;quot;That was amazing‚ wasn't it&;#63;&;quot; Borromeo said of Goulding's shout-out on Instagram.&;quot;[The project has] definitely touched a nerve and I think it is because‚ as a whole‚ humans will still look out for each other‚&;quot; Borromeo told Upworthy. &;quot;Capitalism and greed conditions us to look out for ourselves and negate the welfare of others‚ but ultimately‚ I think we're actually really kind.&;quot;&;quot;We need to call out injustice and hypocrisy when we see it.&;quot;These spikes may be in London‚ but the U.S. definitely has its fair share of anti-homeless sentiment‚ too.Spikes are pretty obvious — they're a visual reminder of a problem many cities are trying to ignore. But what we can't see on the street is the rise of anti-homeless laws that have cropped up from sea to shining sea.Legislation that targets homeless people — like bans on panhandling and prohibiting people from sleeping in cars — has increased significantly in recent years.For instance‚ a report by the National Law Center on Homelessness &; Poverty that analyzed 187 American cities found that there's been a 43% hike in citywide bans on sitting or lying down in certain spaces since 2011.Thankfully‚ groups like &;quot;Space‚ Not Spikes&;quot; are out there changing hearts and minds. But they need our help.The group created a video to complement its work and Borromeo's hoping its positive underlying message will motivate people to do better.&;quot;[The world] won't always be happy-clappy because positive social change needs constructive conflict and debate‚&;quot; she explained. &;quot;But we need to call out injustice and hypocrisy when we see it.&;quot;Check out their video below:This article originally appeared on 07.24.15

Lynelle Cantwell is in 12th grade at Holy Trinity High School in Torbay‚ Newfoundland and Labrador (that's Canada).On Monday‚ she found out that she had been featured on another student's anonymous online poll entitled &;quot;Ugly Girls in Grade 12‚&;quot; along with several other classmates.Cantwell responded via Facebook with her own message‚ which has already been shared more than 2‚000 times and counting.Take a look:Since posting her brave response on Facebook‚ more people have come out to show support than people who voted in the first place.Check out some of the responses: The School District of Newfoundland and Labrador has announced that it will be looking into the incident further. For Cantwell‚ the positive outpouring of love and support vastly outweighs the initial cyberbullying and is raising her confidence in new ways.This article originally appeared on 08.20.17

This article originally appeared on June 5‚ 2015Have you ever wondered if you have a “gay voice”&;#63;If you're anything like me‚ the answer is yes. Many times.For anyone who’s laid awake wondering if your voice is just as gay as you are‚ I've created a rigorous test for you to finally get some answers. Follow the chart below to see if you‚ in fact‚ sound like a homosexual. ***(Image needs to pulled from Robbie Couch who wrote the article.)Temporary pic pulled as a place holderYes‚ that's correct: You do not have a &;quot;gay voice&;quot; — because a &;quot;gay voice&;quot; is not really a thing.Unlike humans‚ voices do not identify as certain genders or sexual orientations. They're just ... sounds. (Crazy‚ I know&;#33;) Stereotypes about what LGBTQ people sound like lead some to think their gay-dar can accurately sniff out queer folks in a crowd based on voices alone. However‚ research shows we actually do a pretty poor job at guessing another person's sexual orientation solely using our ears.Even if we do wear our queerness on the tips of our tongues‚ though‚ why should it matter&;#63; Some LGBTQ people fret over their voice‚ fearful their queerness is on display every time they speak. And that concern is understandable. Sometimes‚ it's not a matter of accepting yourself‚ but a matter of survival: When your voice outs you as an &;quot;other&;quot; in an environment that's hostile toward gay‚ transgender‚ or otherwise queer people‚ personal safety becomes a priority.“A lot of gay men are self-conscious about sounding gay because we were persecuted for that when we were young‚&;quot; LGBTQ activist and media personality Dan Savage said in the 2014 documentary &;quot;Do I Sound Gay&;#63;&;quot;CNN's Don Lemon‚ who is openly gay‚ also chimed in on the topic. Has he ever felt insecure about &;quot;sounding gay&;quot;&;#63; “I’d have to say‚ if I told you ‘no‚’ I’d be lying‚&;quot; Lemon admitted in the documentary.But we should never let a bully's bigotry convince us our voices should be silenced.
