Published by Jenni Sidey

Grandparents are some of the most important figures in any child’s life, and nobody wants to set a bad example. To ensure your grandkids have the happiest family environment imaginable, there are a few steps to take as a grandma or grandpa. From inciting sugar-fueled chaos to behaving manipulatively toward family members, here are 30 things that grandparents should try to avoid as best they can. Amazing grandparents almost always know not to do these 30 things: 1. Ignore social media etiquette While many grandparents aren’t plugged in on TikTok (yet), the tech-savvy few need to abide by some unwritten social media rules: don’t post unflattering/inappropriate photos of the grandkids, don’t hijack every post and turn it into a conversation, don’t make vague statuses to guilt kids or grandkids, and don’t add your grandkids’ friends unless they instigate it. 2. Suggest baby names Choosing a name is a very personal experience for parents, and hearing others’ unwarranted opinions is very difficult. No future parents want to know that Edith was your elementary school bully or …

5 Old-Fashioned Life Lessons Learned By People With Amazing Grandparents

Published by Jenni Sidey

One of my biggest regrets in life is not spending more time with my grandparents while they were still alive. I was still in my self-absorbed teenager phase when they passed, and hanging out with or calling Grandma or Grandpa wasn’t very high on my list of priorities. Many of you reading this have grandparents who are still alive. If your grandparents are still around, learn from them while you still can, and spend quality time with them so that you don’t have regrets later in life. Love them, talk to them, take five minutes out of your day to call them, and don’t be an ageist jerk towards them. There is so much wisdom and old-fashioned life lessons you can soak up from your amazing grandparents, who have been around the world and back, seen it, done it, made that mistake, made it again, and learned what really matters in life. They probably know exactly what you shouldn’t take for granted when you’re younger, exactly what you shouldn’t waste your time doing, and exactly what (and …

If Your Kitchen Is Always Stocked With 11 Core Items, Your Parents Did An Amazing Job Raising You

Published by Jenni Sidey

Being a successful adult involves a lot of trial and error, like learning to separate laundry by color so your whites don’t turn into darks. Living on your own is a humbling experience, especially once you realize how much your parents did for you. They did the laundry correctly, did the dishes, and made sure you were well fed. And if your parents did an especially good job raising you, you’ll have some particular things in your kitchen as an adult. You probably learned more from your parents than you ever realized, like how to chop an onion without crying and how to make perfect scrambled eggs. They taught you that taking care of yourself is about more than eating three meals a day. True nourishment comes from comfort and warmth. It comes from dinner parties, dessert, and listening to your friends laugh. If you have these things in your kitchen as an adult, you have learned what home really means. If your kitchen is always stocked with these 11 core items, your parents did …

My Memories of The Amazing Randi: Part Two

My Memories of The Amazing Randi: Part Two

Published by Sam Flores

Editor’s note: This is the second installment of a two-part article. The first installment appeared in the January/February 2026 issue. Banachek originally wrote this tribute to James “The Amazing” Randi for The International Brotherhood of Magicians. We are thankful he let us publish it here as well. The Publicity Genius I was always amazed by how Randi generated publicity. He would do multiple phone interviews in the morning, TV and radio shows in the afternoon, and newspaper interviews in between. Once, Mike Edwards and I were staying at Randi’s house. We were sleeping in the living room attached to his office. In the morning, Mike and I were making a racket while Randi was on the phone in the office. A pen came flying out of the office at full force. Next came a stapler. These were followed by a book and cup. Randi was on the phone in the middle of a major newspaper interview and could not stop to tell us to be quiet. Of course, this was before cell phones. Randi continued …

‘As soon as I left the first session I felt taller’: is reformer pilates as amazing – or awful – as they say? | Health & wellbeing

I have noticed something new in my London neighbourhood. Amid the sea of nail salons, vape shops and purveyors of fried chicken, sleek, opaque-fronted premises are popping up everywhere. There are several within 15 minutes of my home. At weekends, you can spot clusters of devotees heading to these mysterious, vaguely aspirational temples of self-care, AKA reformer pilates studios. Many of these devotees conform to an aesthetic popularised on TikTok via hashtags such as #pilatesprincess. There is definitely a uniform: pink athleisure, Rhode phone cases and oversized pastel-coloured Stanley tumblers, jokingly referenced on Instagram as “emotional support” bottles. It is a trend that prompted New York magazine to run an article under the headline “Why Pilates Keeps Pissing People Off”: the workout has become inseparable from a very strict idea of womanhood. Whatever the truth of that, it is certainly not putting people off. Pilates has occupied the top slot around the world for three consecutive years on fitness booking app ClassPass, which reported that bookings in 2025 were up 66% year on year. This …

Related Why people are still buying this 2018 laptop in 2025 It’s the dream combination for so many reasons.
