I’ve invested in comfortable and cooling sheets, I keep my bedroom at an ideal temperature, and I begrudgingly avoid caffeine after 5pm. Nothing made that big of a difference in my sleep quality—until I invested in the Marlow pillow earlier this year. Made by Brooklinen, the pillow looks like any other but is decidedly unique. It’s stuffed with a polyester-memory foam blend that’s both supportive and plush, making my head feel like it’s propped up while also letting me sink into the pillow at the same time....

The name may refer to the grinding of teeth workers needed to bite into the hard and overstuffed bread, or grinder may be slang for a worker on the docks. It’s not documented, but what does remain is this delicious relic, that’s perfect for a workday lunch or truly anytime....

How to Make Mashed Potato Chips Start with your favorite potato chips. Thinly sliced chips, like Lays or their counterparts, work nicely because they dissolve easily. @SamTheCookingGuy recommends a ratio of three ounces of potato chips (by weight, not volume) to a cup of boiling water.

Other books will tell you what to eat, what not to eat, how to plot out your birth plan like a 1,000-page fantasy novel, why you should have a home birth, why you shouldn’t have a home birth, everything you never needed to know about breastfeeding, how to have the most stylish hipster baby in daycare, which organic baby food is the best, why screen-time is bad, why screen-time doesn’t matter, how to start your baby on the track toward an Ivy League education before they can talk—are you ready to scream yet?...
