Block Contacts From Sending Messages or Calls
One of iOS 8's many little conveniences is the ability to (finally!) block numbers from contacting a device. Whether it's a salesperson, frenemy, or someone you just need a digital break from for a bit, Apple's new operating system now allows users to limit the communication received from the outside world. If you have people or unknown, annoying numbers that you'd prefer not to see messages or receive phone and Facetime calls from, follow the instructions below.
Add a Contact to the Blocked List
Block someone from calling or texting you one of two ways:
- To block someone who has been added to your phone's Contacts, go to Settings > Phone > Blocked > Add New. The All Contacts window will appear where you can scroll through names to then tap the name of the contact you'd like to block. You'll be taken back to the Blocked window with the name added to the list of blocked contacts.
From Settings, contacts can also be blocked selecting either Messages or Facetime, and then following the above instructions.
- In instances where you want to a block a number that isn't stored as a contact in your phone, go to the Phone app > Recents. Look for the number (or name) you'd like to block and tap the blue "i" with a circle around it to the right of the number. Scroll down to the bottom of the contact card that appears and select "Block This Caller." The message "You will not receive phone calls, messages, or FaceTime from people on the block list" will appear with two options: Block Contact or Cancel. Hit Block Contact to add the number to the big, bad blocked list.
Block from Messages by selecting the message thread with the contact and tapping Contact in the upper right corner. Select the information icon, and proceed with the same instructions as in the Recents tab in Phone.
Unblock a Contact
Decide an acquaintance served their time on the blocked list and want to digitally revive them? Like adding someone to the blocked list, they can be removed two ways:
- In Settings go to Phone > Blocked, where a list of blocked contacts and numbers will appear. Tap Edit in the top right hand corner. Then, tap the red delete button to the left of the name, which will cause a red unblock button appear. Select it, and the contact is restored to unblocked bucket, with all rights, privileges and honors appertaining thereto.
From Settings, contacts can be removed from a blocked list by selecting either Messages or Facetime, and then following the above instructions.
- Find the contacts' name or the number you'd like to unblock in the Recents tab of the Phone app. Select the blue icon to the right of their name, then scroll down and tap "Unblock This Caller."
Unblock the contact via Messages by selecting the message thread with the contact, and tapping Contact in the upper right corner. Select the information icon, and proceed with the same instructions as in the Recents tab in Phone.
Will The Contact Know They're Blocked?
Short answer: no. But a perceptive friend might notice that they can never get a hold of you. When someone in your blocked list calls, they'll be immediately sent to voicemail. Any message left in voicemail will be put in a separate folder called "Blocked Messages," to which you can listen.
If the contact tries to send you a text or iMessage, from their end, it will look like the message was sent, though you - thanks to your craftiness - will not actually have to see the message.
Take note, blocking contacts goes one way, meaning you can still call, text, or FaceTime the numbers you've listed in Blocked. So if the blocking is also to limit yourself from communication with a certain person, better go ahead and delete their number completely from your phone.
Should you continue to get unwanted phone calls from spammers or marketing companies, consider adding your number to the National Do Not Call Registry.

13 Interesting Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Cholula
There are lots of hot sauces out there, but none with a fan base like Cholula's. True lovers of the hot flavor of the bright red sauce go through bottles and bottles every year without even thinking about it, sprinkling it on everything from eggs to rice to (if they're hardcore) salads. They might even carry their own to-go packets, just in case the restaurant they're hitting up for dinner features another salsa picañte not up to their standards. So, can you consider yourself a real fan? Read ahead for 13 little-known facts about Cholula. If you're done and thinking, "duh, of course," we bow down to you, Cholula master.
- The hot sauce was named after the city of Cholula in Mexico, the oldest inhabited city in North America.
- It's not actually made there, but instead prepared in Chapala in Jalisco.
- Cholula's slogan is "el sabor perfecto." Sounds about right.
- The wood cap in every Cholula bottle is made of beech wood. When the hot sauce was first created, the cap was chosen specifically to differentiate it from all others in the market and to represent "the craftmanship behind the product."
- There are 5 flavors: Original, Green Pepper, Chipotle, Chili Lime, and Chili Garlic.
- The brand claims that Cholula scores 1,000 Scoville units, which would make it a medium-spice condiment.
- Have you noticed the long number code on each bottle? Cholula's website has an explanation: "The first two digits are the year, the next three are the day, and the next four is the time."
- The peppers included in the original Cholula flavor are arbol and piquin. Other flavors include peppers like jalapeño, poblano, guajillo, and chipotle.
- Cholula does not need to be refrigerated - you can stop debating friends and family now.
- Surprise: Cholula is owned by tequila conglomerate Grupo Cuervo - yes, the makers of José.
- Cholula's Instagram hashtag, #CholulaHotSauce, is beyond beautiful.
- Chrissy Teigen might be its biggest fan. Its second biggest fan? Probably Cameron Diaz.
- Alert! Alert! There's a Cholula-flavored lip balm coming soon.

7 Secrets Real Estate Agents Know About Bathroom Renovations
Bathrooms are often a top priority for a home renovation, and with good reason. According to Brown Harris Stevens real estate agent Katharine Tuckerman, when it comes time to resell, a "bathroom can make or break a deal." In an older building especially, a new bathroom can be a sign of the property's overall condition and is "a load off for buyers psychologically." Conversely, she explains, "a bathroom that needs renovation tells a buyer that perhaps the plumbing needs updating as well," and may trigger money-pit anxiety. Katharine shares her tips for a bathroom renovation that will see a resale return and might even prompt a bidding war!

This Doughnut Shop Paid Tribute to Prince in the Most Awesome Way
Portland, OR, confectionary gem Voodoo Doughnut is known for its over-the-top flavors like Mango Tango (a mango-jelly-stuffed doughnut with vanilla frosting) and unconventional menu items like the Maple Blazer Blunt doughnut, which looks just like how it sounds.

The Quickest Way to Have Freshly Brewed Coffee in the Morning
I wake up every morning when the sunlight streams through my window, and I hop out of bed, stretch, and feel ready to tackle the day.
LOL, just kidding.
I hit snooze an average of three times every morning, and when I realize I have to get up based on my precise calculations of how long it takes me to shower and get ready, my first thought is coffee. I do have a standard coffee maker at home that I use on the weekends, but on most weekday mornings when I'm rushing to make it out the door, I never end up with enough time to brew and drink coffee. And then what do I do? Stop by a coffee shop, of course. I also brew a couple cups in the office throughout the morning, but let's be real - that first cup of coffee before entering the workplace is crucial.
Clearly this habit is not friendly to my soul or my wallet, so I've come up with a very, very simple solution that allows me to have freshly brewed coffee as soon as I wake up: set up everything the night before.
It sounds so obvious, so apologies if you're thinking, "Duh, I already do this," but I really, truly never thought of it until recently, and man, has it made a difference. I measure out how much ground coffee I'll need, put it in the filter, pour in the water, and close it up. Now when my legs hit the floor, the first place they go is to the kitchen so I can push the "on" button before doing anything else. I don't stress out about carving out time to head to the kitchen and get the machine going, plus the coffee tastes better because, honestly, who makes good coffee when they're half asleep anyway? If you've got a fancy machine that allows you to set a timer, even better! You'll wake up to the smell of coffee brewing before your alarm even goes off. If you, like me, look at your first cup of coffee the way the woman in the photo does (like it's the love of your life), you must start practicing this game-changing routine.
