![The average kitchen remodel costs about $20,000, <a href="http://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/kitchens/remodel-a-kitchen">according to HomeAdvisor</a>, although costs vary considerably based on location, square footage, extent of the project, quality of materials, and who does the work. One way many homeowners try to save is by shopping at Ikea, the Swedish retail giant known for build-it-yourself furniture. Ikea's flat-pack cabinetry is cheaper than other lines of cabinets precisely because it needs to be assembled. It <a href="http://www.cheapism.com/blog/4125/ikea-shopping-pitfalls">may seem like a great deal</a>, but for those who get frustrated assembling an Ikea dresser, building an entire room of cabinets could prove to be a disagreeable amount of work.In a recent price comparison, Cheapism.com found that preassembled Shaker-style cabinets from <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3559491-11210757-1398432624000?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fb%2FKitchen-Cabinets-Cabinet-Hardware-Quick-Ship-Assembled-Cabinets%2FHampton-Bay%2FWhite%2FN-5yc1vZary9Zp4Z1z0vm5f%2FNtk-All%2FNtt-shaker">Home Depot</a> cost less than nearly identical cabinets from <a href="http://fave.co/1RBeMei">Ikea</a> that require assembly. Sinks with pre-drilled holes for fixtures are cheaper at Home Depot and Lowe's than a smaller sink from Ikea with no holes for fixtures. Ikea customers must buy a <a href="http://fave.co/1Pti4IQ">two-piece tool set</a> for $12.99 and punch the holes themselves.Cheapism compared prices on similar products from Ikea, Home Depot, and Lowe's for a DIY facelift of one of the most important workspaces in a kitchen. The total for a stainless steel sink, base cabinet, and 8 feet of laminate countertop came to $358.98 at Ikea, $362.18 at Home Depot, and $376.93 at Lowe's (prices vary slightly by store). Although the total was a bit lower at Ikea, homeowners must account for the additional labor and a host of other considerations.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBqSkh7.img?h=426&w=948&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=1229&y=896","size3column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBqSkh7.img?h=426&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=1229&y=896","size2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBqSkh7.img?h=250&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=1229&y=896"} "The average kitchen remodel costs about $20,000, according to HomeAdvisor, although costs vary consi... - Vytautas Kielaitis/shutterstock")

![Are you drowning in stuff? Are you tired of never getting ahead on your bills? Have you ever dreamed of chucking it all to live in a cabin in the woods? My husband Dale and I did. Though our house is small—just 480 square feet—we are, in fact, Living Large. We don’t spend extra time cleaning and maintaining our house; we don’t buy things we don’t need; and we’ve grown emotionally (as well as physically) closer. We’ve found ourselves part of the tiny house movement, which has captured the imagination of the media and many others in our hurried, harried society. I believe that the tiny house movement is not about the square footage of the houses. Rather, it’s about the life you live in them. No matter what size your house is, you too can Live Large by following these principles for simplifying your life.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhPmll.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1312&y=928"} "Are you drowning in stuff?

!["It feels like summer here, the kids running around with bare feet," says Marti Ely of her East Hampton beach house. "It's a happy place." For years, Marti, her husband, Randy, and their two daughters spent summers in her mother's East Hampton home. But when the family's fourth generation of beach babies came along, the Hamptons residents knew they needed something bigger. They weren't ready to give up the classic style of the homes they'd grown up in, though. The couple turned to Hamptons architect Bill Beeton and builder and landscape architect Michael Derrig for a beach house that would fit their growing brood and would also fit in with the village's older homes. They brought on Phoebe Howard, a veteran Southern designer known for her fresh twists on traditional interiors. As for giving the new house an age-old feel, Randy says the design team got it right: "People walk in and say, 'I can't believe what a good remodel you did to this house!'"]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAhMQNU.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1147&y=1278"} "\"It feels like summer here, the kids running around with bare feet,\" says Marti Ely of her East Hamp... - Provided by TIME Inc.")

![For many out-of-town vacationers, especially large families driving to their destination, lodging can be the single largest expense, with food running a close second. Camping in a recreational vehicle is an excellent way to reduce these outlays. Nightly rates at RV campgrounds are almost always cheaper than hotels, and a fully equipped (though small) kitchen means far fewer restaurant meals. These 15 popular tourist destinations have RV campgrounds nearby and, with one exception, the nightly rate is no more than $60.

![From convenience stores to mall kiosks, it's easy to find an attractive pair of cheap sunglasses. But sunglasses are more than fashion accessories -- they also protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. <a href="https://nei.nih.gov/hvm/healthy_eyes_glasses">The National Eye Institute</a> warns that long-term exposure can have damaging effects ranging from cataracts and macular degeneration to blindness. Before buying any pair of sunglasses, be sure they're labeled "100 percent UV protection," "maximum UV protection," or "UV400." This indicates that the lenses block all harmful wavelengths, up to 400 nanometers.<br><br>These 14 stylish sunglasses for men, women, and children offer the recommended level of protection for less than $35. According <a href="http://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/top-sunglasses-tips">American Academy of Ophthalmology</a>, cheap sunglasses with 100 percent UV protection are no less effective than high-end pairs. Many of the sunglasses featured here also have polycarbonate lenses, as opposed to glass, polyurethane, or acrylic, which makes them durable, lightweight, and suitable for physical activity. Wear sunglasses with a wide-brimmed hat for even better protection.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAi7eh5.img?h=516&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1488&y=658","size1rowsize2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAi7eh5.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1488&y=658","size1rowsize3column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAi7eh5.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1488&y=658","size1rowsize4column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAi7eh5.img?h=340&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=1488&y=658"} "From convenience stores to mall kiosks, it's easy to find an attractive pair of cheap sunglasses.

![Schedule time during major projects for your initial ideas to incubate—you'll almost always think of ways to improve upon them. One University of Sydney study found that when people worked on a specific assignment, setting aside time for a completely unrelated task was a key factor in boosting quality. For the experiment, participants were given four minutes to come up with as many uses for a piece of paper as possible. The first group worked on the task continuously. The second group was interrupted after two minutes to work on a related task (generating a synonym for each word from a given list) and then asked to return to the original task for the remaining two minutes. The third group was interrupted after two minutes and given an unrelated task (a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test) and then asked to return to the original task for the remaining two minutes. Despite working for the same amount of time, the third group was most successful in accomplishing the original goal. The takeaway?

'You can improve your attention giving after you become aware of how rushed responses, interruptions, and overtalk contribute to verbal crowding in conversations,' he says. The next time you’re in a conversation, be aware of how soon you feel like you want to share your comment and be honest about whether you’re really listening.

Instead of focusing on the status you want to attain, it's better to focus on the life you want to experience. Thinking about lifestyle design means <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=dxumVrUrpYcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=4-hour+work+week&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pWhFVL3cOo32yQSQtILICA&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=lifestyle%20design&f=false">considering</a> the elements needed for us to flourish — like money, mobility, time, and relationships — and how we want those things to come together.</p><p>So let's take this day to envision the lifestyle you want in one year, five years, ten years. The simplest way to do that envisioning is with something called the perfect day exercise. Here's "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067TGSOK">The $100 Startup</a>" author Chris Guillebeau's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-100-Startup-Reinvent-Living/dp/0307951529">take</a>:</p><p>In this classic exercise, you write out your idealized, perfect day in great detail, beginning from what time you get up and what you have for breakfast all the way through what you do for each hour of the day and who you talk to.

If you take this exercise seriously, you may begin making more conscious decisions about how you spend your time and what you focus on. Even if you don't make a lot of changes, you'll learn a lot about yourself based on the information you acquire.</p><p>Now grab that journal and plot out what your perfect days will look like at these points in your life.</p><p>By doing this, you'll be better able to recognize opportunity when it knocks at your door.</p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBsYRgd.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=464&y=160"} "The problem with planning your life is that there are an impossibly high number of variables — as Li... - Rasstock/Shutterstock")

![Alexandra Scranton, director of science and research at Women’s Voices for the EarthThe Problem: Diacetyl is used in a lot of fake butter flavorings, despite the fact that the chemical is so harmful to factory workers that it's known to cause an occupational disease called "popcorn lung," Scranton says. After news of the chemical got out to the popcorn-eating public, companies started replacing diacetyl with another additive—which can actually turn into diacetyl under certain conditions, she adds. Neither chemical is disclosed on microwave-popcorn bags because the exact formulations of flavorings are considered trade secrets. "It's a classic example of the need for better chemical regulation and improved transparency on the chemicals used in our food and other household products," she says.The Solution: Make your own popcorn using real butter. Pop it on the stovetop in a pot or go an easier homemade popcorn route: Put a small handful of kernels into a brown paper lunch bag and stick the bag in the microwave. The kernels will pop just like those fake-butter-flavored kernels in standard microwave popcorn bags. When they're done, pour some melted organic butter over them. "Makes pretty good popcorn at a fraction of the cost!" Scranton says.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBodqST.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg"} "Alexandra Scranton, director of science and research at Women’s Voices for the EarthThe Problem: Dia... - Photograph by Thinkstock")

![<p>You don't need to live in Philadelphia to pay the price of drinking soda.</p><p>Philadelphia is the first major U.S. city to pass a tax on soda—1.5 cents per ounce, which is about $1 more for a 2-liter—and it's set to take effect on January 1, 2017. The beverage industry is already fighting the ambitious move, but we're hoping the law sticks. The truth is that you don't need to live in Philadelphia to pay the price of drinking soda. </p><p>Although we call them “beer bellies,” new science says we ought to call our bloated midsections what they really are: soda bellies. In a study of about 1,000 adults over the course of six years, people who drank soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages gained an extra 1.8 pounds of visceral fat—the fat that sits inside your gut, damaging your internal organs and pushing your belly out into a King of the Hill–style slouch. To put that in perspective, 1.8 pounds is about how much a fetus weighs at 24 weeks. This means you can go from your lean, slim self to looking like you’re in your second trimester just by drinking a daily soda, sweetened iced tea, or fruit punch. (Talk about a punch to the gut!) But instead of carrying a bundle of joy, you're carrying a bundle of toxic fat; Visceral fat has been shown to increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, among other ills. </p><p>Why is soda so good at making us look bad? It’s the sugar. The USDA issued new guidelines in early 2016, recommending no more than 180 sugar calories per day for women (and 200 for men). This is the equivalent of approximately 45 grams of sugar—an amount that many sodas and other sweetened beverages exceed in just one can. And if it’s not sugar, then it’s artificial sweetener, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar and just as damaging to your waistline.</p><p>Here, we’ve ranked the 70 most popular sodas: Category 1 has 32 regular (non-diet) sodas, and Category 2 has 38 diet sodas.

If you feel confident, you're ready to get it on. If you feel insecure, you just want to hide every part of yourself.
