The thing I’m loving this week: these cute little fish-shaped humidifier tank cleaners. Whatever helps reduce the buildup of slime is a heroic product in my book! Speaking of cleaning, I can’t say enough good things about this grout cleaner, either. I only wish I’d taken a good before-and-after photo of the 60-year-old tile in my bathroom, which looks completely transformed. Let me know at janie.campbell@huffpost.com if there’s a practical product you’ve found life-changing lately!

Take Back Your Life

Sipping your ice-cold water or a nice rosé from a cloudy glass certainly takes away from the experience. While that milky residue probably isn’t anything harmful, it’s still a bit gross. And anyone who regularly deals with cloudy glassware ― despite running it through hot water and plenty of soap in the dishwasher ― knows how frustrating the problem can be. If you’d love to get rid of that hazy look to your glasses once and for all, here’s what you need to know.

Deal With It

If you feel like you are at the breaking point right now at your job, you are not alone. Americans are coping with what is known as “cascading collective trauma,” as termed by Roxane Cohen Silver, a University of California at Irvine psychologist who has researched trauma for decades. And each new trauma takes a toll on your psyche and affects how well you can do your job.

Pro Tip:

Is gas really cheaper at Costco? Lifehacker took a look at how much you could possibly save at the pump this year if you fill up at Costco or Sam’s Club instead of “regular” gas stations. They find you might save $122 per year in California, but just $12.80 in Ohio. See how they figured it out – and how you can evaluate the savings wherever you live.
