🌭Three packs of Olympia Provisions Frankfurters (4 dogs per pack), which are the gold standard in hot dogs. with a foot-long/over-the-bun hang and reviews that also go beyond the bun (“Bottom Line: Literally the best hot dog I’ve tasted in my life. Period. Final answer”). Made of pure pork shoulder and a natural lamb casing, and smoked with hickory and applewood.

🍽️ Two sets of picnic-ready, handmade linen napkins from our incredibly talented friends at Tulusa. This 4-pack of heirloom linen napkins feature a cross-hatch pattern created by handmade block print, and are – dare we say – the most perfect hot dog colors ever

We're sure many of you have already made New Year's resolutions. Unfortunately, the reality is that resolutions simply don't work that well, which is why The Atlantic has declared that New Year's resolutions are not the "𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦" for 2022. 👎

Research shows that most goals are abandoned about a month into the new year, with only 6% of people actually meeting the resolutions they set. Even more disheartening, oftentimes those who have achieved their goals feel excited about the outcome but then quickly fixate on another issue they have yet to resolve.

The solution: Try changing your perspective on the goals you make, and analyze why you want to complete them so badly. Then, think of the things you achieved that genuinely made you feel happy or grateful – things that you didn't have to write down in a list just to check them off.

Petroleum jelly, kept in many households across North America, is no doubt the holy grail for moisturizing dry and cracked skin. 🏆 Think of your trusty Vaseline and Aquaphor.

Highly recommended by dermatologists, petroleum jelly locks moisture into the skin and is a great choice for dry hands, feet, knees, and lips.

Aside from those, check out a few of the 𝑏𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 uses for petroleum jelly, brought to you by Byrdie:

✅ Prep skin for fragrance → moisturized skin holds scents better, so rub some Vaseline on before you spritz

✅ Tame your hair → Vaseline can help to tame frizz and seal dry, split ends

✅ Remove stains → the oil in Vaseline can lift makeup stains from your clothes, pillows, blankets, and sheets

✅ Polish leather → buff Vaseline onto boots, shoes, bags, and other leather goods to polish them

✅ Prevent rusting razor blades → carefully apply a thin layer of Vaseline onto the blades between uses

We have to admit that one of our favorite snacks is chips. Crunchy and salty is always tasty, but if you're looking for a chip that'll give you a little bit of nutritional value, there are so many delicious options to discover.

Here's what to look for when buying better-for-you chips, according to Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN:

1️⃣ Chips made from veggies or fruits like carrots, kale, bananas, or apples are a great alternative, but don't assume they can replace your actual fresh veggie and fruit intake.

2️⃣ Chips made with starch instead of the veggie/fruit itself, probably aren't very nutritious.

3️⃣ There's nothing wrong with enjoying regular potato chips! Just remind yourself not to overdo it on the sodium intake.

4️⃣ Chips that are made from legumes, like chickpeas, lentils, & other beans are also a great alternative since they contain some fiber and protein.

Non-flour kinds of pasta are certainly rising in popularity, so TIME has asked pediatric nutritionist and registered dietician, Dr. Keith Ayoob, Ed.D., which 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭. 🍝

To sum up, he states that:

1️⃣ Vegetable noodles are best → try spiralizing cucumber, zucchini or sweet potato to mimic pasta noodles

2️⃣ Bean-based types of pasta have the most fiber → this includes dried pasta made from chickpeas, lentils or black beans

3️⃣ Quinoa pasta is a good gluten-free option → quinoa is a favored choice since it doesn’t get mushy when cooked

4️⃣ Regular pasta can be healthy, in moderation → top your pasta with tomato-based sauces or vegetables, or try a whole-wheat pasta
