I’ve been to the Amazon and experienced its remote wonderland. I remember standing in a lush rainforest, in the warm, humid air, surrounded by the sounds of exotic birds. The people are wonderful and almost childlike in their trusting nature.

Stop paying for things you don’t use: It might sound counterintuitive, but with many streaming services, you can cancel immediately after subscribing (or let Rocket Money* do it for you!) and still enjoy the entire trial period.

Like Dawn, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&M’s. Super-cool data here showing what brands are most known and most liked. The highest spot for a tech brand is Samsung at No. 5.

Of Alzheimer’s disease for regular caffeine drinkers. The sweet spot for most is no more than four cups a day (around 400 mg of caffeine), but cut that to two cups if you have high blood pressure. Fascinating read here.
The check might be in the mail. Yep, Ring is settling a class-action lawsuit.
This is a smart way to always know when your favorite creators (ahem, me!) have a new video live.
