This 15-Second Stretch Can Help You Stop Slouching While You're Working From Home
@cascade.chiro Everyone needs this. ##posturecheck ##posture ##health ##healthy ##piday
If you've never worked from home before, the transition can be challenging. Unless you have a comfortable home office (or even better, a standing desk), you may find yourself slouching over your computer from your couch or bed, which can cause neck, shoulder, and back pain. One thing that can help? Good old fashioned stretching. Oregon-based chiropractor Chris Cooper, who goes by @cascade.chiro on TikTok, shared a video with a very simple 15-second stretch to help improve your posture, no matter your circumstances.
While sitting down, hold your palms out in front of you and turn them face up. Swing your arms out to your sides; roll your shoulders back so your shoulder blades are pressed together, then drop them as you continue squeezing. Pull your head back so you feel like you're giving yourself a double chin, and hold this position for 15 seconds.
Feel that?
You should be able to feel your muscles contracting, and when you release, you'll feel some of the tension fall away. If you find yourself fighting tension in other muscle groups, take some time to stretch everything out - these exercises can help.
40 Conversation Starters That Make Mingling Fun
We've all found ourselves in awkward situations where we'd rather scroll mindlessly on our phone than make the effort of mingling. But it doesn't have to be anxiety-inducing to break the ice with people you've never met before. Sure, a cocktail can help, but so does a solid conversation starter. Try one of these 40 questions to get people chatting next time you're stuck at a work event or don't know anyone at a party.
- Where did you grow up? This is a great icebreaker that gets someone talking about the past, which often puts others at ease.
- Do you have any pets? People love their pets, and inquiring about them encourages further conversation. And, even if the person you're chatting with doesn't have any, it's still a good start.
- What's your favorite book? Instead of asking what people are reading right now, which can be a bit too intimate, asking about a book they love can create a mutual connection.
- What's the first thing you do after work? Do you kick off your shoes? Hit the gym? Asking how people relax makes them feel relaxed.
- What's your dream job? Even at a corporate gathering, inquiring about someone's dream job is a fun way to get a conversation started.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Not everyone gets to travel tons, making this a fun question for anyone.
- What countries have you traveled to? Even if you haven't traveled the world, asking if others have encourages someone to share memories.
- Do you like to cook? Asking about favorite dishes and culinary adventures sparks delicious dishing.
- What's your favorite food? Everyone eats, making this an icebreaker that works anywhere, anytime.
- What's your favorite drink? A wonderfully basic question, asking about best-loved beverages works at any gathering.
- Do you have a favorite local restaurant? This is a great conversation to get people talking about their favorite local hangouts, which puts everyone at ease.
- What's your favorite movie? You can find out a lot about a person when you chat about a favorite movie. Follow it up with specific questions, such as scene stealers and actors in the flick.
- What movie are you dying to see? Jump in with a question that involves everyone and will get a group chatting over new releases.
- What are you watching on TV? This is another question that won't offend and is open-ended, encouraging even the supershy to start chatting.
- What's the last concert you went to? Another easygoing question for one-on-one conversation or for jumping into a group conversation. And it's a fun way to find out what kinds of music your new friends listen to.
- What's the craziest thing you've ever done? For those who are ready to make a bold first impression, this is a question that gets attention and can lead to fun conversation.
- If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could have only one item, what would it be? Yes, a classic one-liner, but this convo starter always gets a good answer.
- What's your favorite season? Here's a question that works well with the "it's always easy to talk about the weather" concept. Follow up by asking about the current weather conditions, and you have a conversation.
- Do you speak any other languages? Asking a semipersonal question encourages others to share information about themselves without feeling guarded.
- Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend? Make chatting easy by asking about future plans - without setting off a stalker vibe. Keep it light and share your plans too.

- I can't place this song - do you know it? Hey, even if you know the tune, asking someone else about the music playing is a simple start.
- How long have you been at your job? Even at a corporate event, asking others about their job titles, roles, and how long they have been at the company breaks the ice.
- Tell me about something that made you laugh this week. Everyone loves a good laugh! Asking about something that brought on a chuckle makes anyone smile.
- If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? A bit more direct, but asking a specific question that requires thought can really make an impression.
- How are you today? Sure, this is a no-brainer question, but it gets people talking.
- Where is the best place you have ever visited? Taking a vacation is always wonderful. Asking someone new about a favorite destination is always an easy way to start talking.
- Did you hear about (something trending in the news)? Pick something pretty generic, remembering to stay away from politics and religion, and the conversation will get rolling.
- So, what's your story? OK, this one is borderline pick-up line, but it's also a direct approach for chatting.
- This place is awesome! Have you been here before? Complimenting the venue is a positive way to chat with others.
- If you could be an animal, what would you be and why? Just don't roar after asking! This question is also a fun and light way to break the ice.
- If you could invite a famous person over for dinner, who would it be? Also an often-used convo starter, this question has lasted the test of time, which makes it a winner anywhere, anytime.
- What's your favorite holiday? Open and generic, a basic question is an easy way to start mingling.
- What's the craziest thing you've ever eaten? Here's another fun question that gets people talking! And it's a great question to use when you feel awkward joining a group that's already chatting.
- What is one thing you couldn't live without? Wine? Chocolate? Bread? There's no wrong answer to this question, which makes it another winner.
- Have you ever won anything? It feels good when you win something, so asking someone about this special moment encourages sharing.

- Have you ever met anyone famous? A brush with a famous person is always a thrill, making talking about it with a stranger a fun icebreaker.
- Do you prefer texting, calling, or emailing? Emailing! This is actually a great question to ask someone after you have made a connection. Follow up by asking for your new friend's phone number or email address.

Amazon to Stop Accepting Nonessential Products at Warehouses in Light of Coronavirus Concerns
After a huge increase in orders following the coronavirus outbreak, Amazon has made the decision to temporarily stop accepting "nonessential product" shipments into its warehouses, according to a memo the company shared with its sellers on Tuesday. Instead, Amazon will prioritize shipments of "household staples, medical supplies, and high demand products." These products include baby products, health and household products (including personal-care appliances), beauty and personal care products, grocery items, industrial and scientific items, and pet supplies.
This new restriction, which will last at least through April 5, will mostly impact third-party sellers and merchants who sell directly to Amazon; these sellers will now have to find other ways to ship their products out to consumers. Sellers who already package and ship their own goods won't be affected, and any products already in Amazon warehouses or in transit to Amazon facilities will also remain unaffected.
"We are seeing increased online shopping, and as a result some products such as household staples and medical supplies are out of stock," Amazon said in an email statement, according to Business Insider. "With this in mind, we are temporarily prioritizing household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so that we can more quickly receive, restock, and deliver these products to customers."
Amazon has also hired 100,000 new full and part-time positions in its fulfillment centers across the US to help manage the recent influx of orders. For anyone turning to the site for indoor activities and entertainment to keep busy during this difficult time, nonessential shipments to consumers will not be suspended - they may just take longer and cost more to ship.

About Time Is the Underrated Movie I Recommend to Anyone in Need of a Pick-Me-Up
If you ever ask me for a feel-good movie recommendation, I'm going to respond, "Have you seen About Time?" It's the onscreen version of comfort food: warm, cozy, and only slightly cheesy, as any movie (or meal) should be. Thankfully, the 2013 film is now on Netflix, for your immediate streaming pleasure.
About Time follows a young man, Tim, through the most pivotal moments of his life as he also navigates his family's ability to time travel. Sounds supernatural enough, but a science fiction adventure it is not. In fact, Tim uses this "power" to fulfill an ordinary life: he finds love, he gets married, he pursues a career, he and his wife have children. The Richard Curtis film strikes a similarly charming tone to its cousins, Love Actually and Notting Hill. I would argue About Time leaves you with greater emotional pay-off in the end.
It's the onscreen version of comfort food: warm, cozy, and only slightly cheesy, as any movie (or meal) should be.
The movie's fantastic writing is only improved by its incredible cast. Yes, I'm talking about Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Nighy, as well as the actors who've since seen an explosion of fame, like Margot Robbie and Vanessa Kirby. They kept this story of red dress weddings and tea by the sea from becoming saccharine, and instead make the film's quirkiness beautifully relatable.
The soundtrack matches every peak and valley of the plotline. From "Friday I'm in Love" to "Back to Black" and the ever-iconic "Il Mondo," I still go back to this tracklist when I'm in need of a pick-me-up. True story: I was this close to choosing "How Long Will I Love You?" for my wedding first dance.
Make no mistake, About Time isn't perfect. I wish Tim was slightly less creepy with the way he uses his abilities. (Does he need to stalk Mary after their first date? Probably not.) I wish the leading cast was more diverse. I wish the women in his family inherited the same time travel talents. If I could go back in time, there are definitely some things I would change. That said, I embrace this movie, flaws and all, because it gave me peace during a hard time.
I first watched About Time on a tiny laptop screen in my college dorm room on my extra-long twin bed. I was 18 and struggling with homesickness, seasonal depression, and anxiety. Tim's love story gave me hope for the future. His bond with his parents made me appreciate my own. His sister's carefree attitude encouraged me to take life less seriously . And perhaps most importantly, his courage in the face of life's inevitabilities led me to abandon my own comfort zone - with the help of much-needed therapy. I chose to step outside my cinderblock walls, take a deep breath, and ask my now-best friend, "Hey, have you seen About Time?"
30 Memorable Movies About Female Friendship
The female friendship movie is a totally different animal than the romantic comedy, and yet they often get lumped together under one big "chick flick" banner. While Hollywood goes heavy on the bromances, it's the movies about girlfriends (girl-mances? lady-mances?) that we return to again and again. Here are our favorite movies about female friendship.

27 of the Best Board Games For Having an Entertaining, Tech-Free Night In
Fact: I LOVE board games. I'm a big fan of the classics - Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue, for instance - plus some newer twists on the staples, like Bananagrams (word nerds, unite!). But really, I'm game for pretty much anything. There's nothing like learning an addictive or hilarious new game, especially with a significant other or your family. When I hear the words "game night," I'll be there faster than you can yell "Yahtzee!" Board games bring out the competitive nature in people, sure, but they also make the best icebreakers and, most importantly, force everyone to put away their phones (something I'll admit I don't do enough).
So if you're looking for a game to keep yourself entertained at home to challenge your partner, or to have fun with your family, here are my tried-and-true favorites (along with a few recommendations from a fellow game master!) that are sure to get your mind off the stresses of life and bring a smile to your face.

If you can't decide between pizza or pasta for dinner, Trader Joe's Outside-In Gnocchi might be the solution to your dilemma. Available in the frozen section, this take on an old Italian favorite is stuffed with gooey mozzarella and just the right amount of tomato sauce in every bite. Just drizzle some olive oil on top, add a sprinkle of parmesan, and dinner is served!
Trader Joe's has taken the liberty of stuffing the gnocchi itself so you don't have to bother making your own sauce or having fresh mozzarella cheese to pair it with - there's no prep time required.
As for what it's made of? Potatoes and unbleached wheat flour make up the dough, and the filling consists of mozzarella cheese, crushed tomatoes, onions, and a mixture of spices like basil and garlic. Each one-pound bag of Outside-In Gnocchi is available for $3 and can easily be prepared on the stove or in the microwave. Since Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi was such a low-carb hit, we know the Outside-In Gnocchi will gnoc your socks off, too.
Prices and products may vary by Trader Joe's location.

Pink Covered "Make You Feel My Love," and Her Performance Is a Beautiful Escape For Your Mind
Pink is doing us all a solid by turning her piano lessons into free concerts. The "Walk Me Home" singer is spending time at home with her family during a time of social distancing, and she's using the opportunity to pick up new hobbies like making ravioli and learning how to play the piano. On Monday, Pink performed the very first song she's learned: "Make You Feel My Love" by Bob Dylan. You might recognize the beautiful tune from other artists who've covered it, like Adele and Billy Joel. Pink gives the song her own twist, and looks absolutely ecstatic when she nails it at the end. Her accomplishment gives me motivation to pursue my own at-home activities over the next few weeks.

These Are the Most Comfortable Jeans, According to Our Editors
