Martha Reeves and the Vandellas might call this love, but we call it hellish weather, and it’s hitting a lot of us this week. We haven’t figured out how to stay unfazed by 100º weather, but we welcome Care2’s 7 tips for avoiding heat stroke. They might seem obvious, but muggy heat doesn’t exactly encourage clear thinking. Stick to the basics and be smart in the sun this summer: Air-conditioning, fans, and shade: The best way to keep cool is air-conditioning, and though we don’t encourage excessive use of the energy-sucking machines, when it gets super hot, it’s smart to use air-conditioning, fans, and shade to keep...

Turns out, it’s not a sex thing; it’s a list of the worst breakfast muffins you could possibly eat. Ever. We all know muffins aren’t great for us health-wise, but if we grab a reduced-fat one on the go, that’s fine – right? Check out the (scary) list below and decide for yourself.

Thanks to Plant My Phone, you can recycle your phone, and the company will use the money from the sold materials to plant as many trees as they can. An average phone that you’ve had for two years will plant 15 trees, while a first-generation iPhone in good condition will plant as many as 79. (Plus, you can download a prepaid shipping label from Plant My Phone’s website.) Check out this chart to see how many trees your old phone could potentially create. Currently, only 10% of the 140 million cell phones that become “old” are recycled each year – the rest just sit in landfills or homes. Plant My Phone is a much better (and more tec...

So we may as well learn some new uses for it, which will save money, and help us avoid using chemical-filled cleaning products. Check out this handy list of alternative uses for toothpaste, thanks to Care2. 1. Put a drop of toothpaste on a bug bite, sore, or blister to stop itching and decrease swelling. It will dry the blemish out, and make it heal faster. 2. If you burn yourself on a cookie sheet or anything else that results in  a minor (unopened) burn, apply toothpaste delicately to the burn after it develops.
