Nike has taken over for Adidas as the official provider of apparel and uniforms for the NBA and that means new uniforms for all 30 teams.

While the changes for some teams will be subtle, there is one prominent change every team will have — the Nike swoosh will be featured on the uniforms, or in the case of the Charlotte Hornets, the Jordan Jumpman logo.  Adidas did not have its logo on the uniforms.

In addition, many teams have sold ads that will be featured as a patch on the front of the jerseys. 

The NBA has begun to unveil the new uniforms for the 2017-18 season as some teams have unveiled them through various social-media platforms.

Below are the uniforms that have been revealed so far.

In late 1983, the first minivan rolled off out the factory at Chrysler. The Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan transformed mobility for the suburban American family. 

Today, the minivan is a staple of the American suburban landscape. But just a couple of decades ago, the idea of a van with the driving dynamics of a car was truly revolutionary. 

At its peak in 2000, automakers sold nearly 1.4 million minivans to American families. Although the crossover SUV has taken over as the sales leader for the family-car market, there are still plenty of buyers that prefer the utility and car-like driving experience of the minivan.

Here's how the minivan came to be. Remarkably, it shares some history with the iconic Ford Mustang!

In 1974, Ford president Lee Iacocca and a team of engineers headed by Hal Sperlich saw the need for a front-wheel-drive, car-based family van.

A decade earlier, both Iacocca and Sperlich helped lead the creation of the Mustang.

Sperlich's team concocted a special prototype van. Since Ford didn't have a front-wheel-drive platform on which the van could be built, they instead used a chassis and engine from Honda.

Apple is widely expected to launch new iPhones in September.

There's been a ton of speculation and reports about the upcoming iPhone, including that it'll be redesigned.

The pressure is on Apple, too. It's the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone, launched in 2007, and the company is expected to have some big plans to mark the occasion.

Wall Street analysts hope the new iPhone drives a "supercycle" of sales and propels Apple to become the first trillion-dollar publicly traded company.

Apple rarely comments on upcoming products, but some code from Apple suggests some of the rumors may be accurate.

Here's what you need to know about the upcoming iPhone:

Apple is expected to launch three iPhones: one that's redesigned, and two updates to the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Analysts have suggested several names for the redesigned iPhone, including "iPhone Pro,""iPhone Edition,""OLED iPhone," and "iPhone 8," which we're calling it. This report will focus entirely on the iPhone 8.

The redesigned iPhone is the model that has received the most attention. It's expected to have an edge-to-edge, curved screen with much smaller bezels than the current iPhone 7. The screen uses a newer kind of display technology called OLED that promises to use less power and provide darker blacks.

This rendering of what the iPhone is expected to look like comes from designer Martin Hajek, who posts the files used to make his renders online.

Apple seemingly confirmed the iPhone 8 redesign with significantly smaller bezels in this image included in HomePod firmware that Apple released. The codename for this image? D22.

When you become a homeowner, a mortgage isn't the only expense you're faced with.

The average homeowner in the US spends an additional $9,080 each year covering unexpected or forgotten costs, from insurance to taxes to maintenance, according to a new report from real estate-listing site Zillow.

"Determining how much a home will ultimately cost you each year and what you can afford is one of the most challenging aspects of homebuying, especially for first-time buyers," said Svenja Gudell, Zillow's chief economist.

Indeed, Zillow found in a previous report that nearly 40% of first-time buyers exceed their budget. It's easy to do. Although the standard measure of housing affordability is 30% or less of your pre-tax income, many homebuyers only plan in advance for their mortgage payment, forgetting about the extra expenses that are part of owning a home. 

To give shoppers a more accurate idea of affordability, Zillow debuted a new feature earlier this year — the all-in monthly pricing tool— which considers all the monthly homeownership expenses typically omitted by a traditional mortgage calculator.

As part of its latest report, Zillow calculated the hidden costs of homeownership in the country's largest metro areas by population, factoring in property taxes, homeowners insurance, and utilities from Utility Score. They also included estimates for six of the most popular home maintenance-related projects from Thumbtack: carpet cleaning, yard work, gutter cleaning, HVAC maintenance, house cleaning, and pressure washing.

San Francisco homeowners shell out the most money of the metros Zillow analyzed, at just above $16,000 — not surprising considering the area's notoriously high home values and property taxes.

Below, check out how much homeowners spend on the unexpected — but often unavoidable — costs of owning a home in the 16 biggest US cities, from lowest to highest total cost.

The New York City metro area is a unique housing market and was excluded from Zillow's report.

When you think of hybrids, you think of Toyota. The Prius reset expectations for what consumers could expect from fuel-economy and emissions when it arrived on the scene nearly 20 years ago. 

The Prius reset expectations for what consumers could expect from fuel-economy and emissions when it arrived on the scene nearly 20 years ago. 

Since then, Toyota has expanded its hybrid offerings, taking the tech out of the familiar Prius form and installing it in sedans and SUVs. Now a version of the system has been dropped into a high-performance Lexus sports car, the LC 500h.

It wasn't a simple process, but ultimately, it was worth it. Lexus, Toyota's luxury division, sells two versions of the LC 500: one with a big V8 under the hood, and the 500h variation we're considering here. With the big-motor LC, you get a 10-speed automatic (with manual mode) and a straightforward linkage between gears and engine, in a rear-whee-drive grand-touring platform. 

With the 500h, you get a tricky double transmission, two electric motors, and a smaller but still potent V6 engine. 

In both cases, you get a car that literally stopped traffic when we borrowed it for a weekend. Yes, the LC 500h is a good-looking car. Possibly the best-looking Lexus money can buy.

Our test car tipped the cost scales at well over $100,000, but the base vehicle is a mere $96,000 and change (the LC 500 is $92,000). Here's what we thought.

The LC 500h landed in all its shimmering hybrid two-door glory near our offices in Manhattan.

We didn't initially think the looks were particularly show-stopping, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO WALKED BY begged to differ. The only vehicle that garnered more attention of late was our 2016 Car of the Year, the Acura NSX.

President Trump's luxurious St. Martin estate has gotten a massive price cut.

Le Château des Palmiers was previously listed for $28 million with Sotheby's International Realty. The price was lowered by more than $11 million about a month ago, the Washington Post reported. It's now listed for $16.9 million.

It's a walled estate across nearly five acres, with both a main house and a guest house. In total, the compound has 11 bedrooms.

Records show that it was listed for just under $20 million when Trump purchased it in 2013, though it's unclear how much he ended up paying for it. 

According to disclosure filings obtained by the Wall Street Journal in 2015, Trump owns the property through two companies called Excel Venture I LLC and Excel Venture Corp II. Trump typically uses the Caribbean escape as a rental property, and, according to the disclosure, he gets between $100,000 and $1 million a year from it. The sale is being handled by a revocable trust run by Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg.

Evan Blass, the prolific gadgets leaker known as @evleaks on Twitter, has released a report on Venture Beat containing a comprehensive list of rumored information about the upcoming Galaxy Note 8's specs.

If Blass' information is accurate, the Galaxy Note 8 could be similar to the Galaxy S8. We're looking at similar internal hardware with a slight boost for multitasking, a potentially identical camera, and a size not much bigger.

Here's an earlier post on Blass' Twitter account of what may be the Galaxy Note 8's design:

Check out what else Blass had to say about the Galaxy Note 8's supposed specs:

SEE ALSO: Wireless charging in the iPhone 8 would be nice, but this feature from Android phones would be better

The Galaxy Note 8 will have the same water resistance as the Galaxy S8.

Blass claims that the Galaxy Note 8 will be certified with IP68 water and dust resistance, the same certification awarded to the Galaxy S8. That means the Note 8 should survive in 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.

It will have a 6.3-inch display.

As previously rumored, the Galaxy Note 8 could have a 6.3-inch display with the Galaxy S8's taller 18.5:9 aspect ratio (compared with the traditional 16:8 aspect ratio). That's just 0.1 inches bigger than the Galaxy S8 Plus' display. It's also expected to have a sharp 1440p resolution that's now standard on flagship Samsung devices.

It won't be much bigger than the Galaxy S8 Plus.

Blass claims that the Galaxy Note 8 will be 162.5 millimeters tall, 74.6 mm wide, and 8.5 mm thick, which would be slightly larger than the Galaxy S8 Plus' 159.5 mm x 73.4 mm x 8.1 mm dimensions.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones," including speculation of future events. 

HBO just dropped new photos for the upcoming "Game of Thrones" episode, "Spoils of War," and they tease brewing conflicts on multiple fronts. We know from the trailer that we can expect to see the the return of an important weapon, and yet another long-awaited reunion. But what else is in store?

Let's take a closer look at the new photos to see if we discern some hints about what's to come.

Daenerys Targaryen stands on the beach of Dragonstone, surrounded by her advisors plus Jon Snow and Davos.

She'll likely hear about Olenna's death, and reconvene her counsel. This is a huge blow to Daenerys' forces — will she take Olenna's advice and "be a dragon" finally?

Jon Snow is lurking nearby. We're curious to see more interactions between him and Daenerys, since their first meeting was a bit rocky.

With Olenna, Ellaria, and Yara gone, Missandei is the only woman left on Daenerys' team of advisors.

When your plans don't call for a formal outfit, T-shirts are one of the most comfortable options you can wear.

They're the perfect kind of top for casual get-togethers, running errands, or being active. 

That said, some T-shirts just aren't very comfortable; we've all experienced ill-fitting neck openings that stick up on the shoulder, sleeves that are too short, and torsos that are too long.

And even if a T-shirt does fit well initially, once it stretches out after being worn, or shrinks from washing and drying, it'll never be the same.

Luckily, Public Rec has making a good-fitting T-shirt that stays that way down to a science with its Go-To Tee, and we're not surprised. Last year, the athleisure startup received so much praise for its All Day Everyday Pant, a pair of sweatpants nice enough to wear to the office, that it sold out and ended up with a 1200-person wait list for them.

Made from a proprietary fabric blend of Pima Cotton, TENCEL, and Spandex, the Go-To Tee is designed to wick moisture and never shrink while staying soft and stretchy. 

Public Rec sent over a few samples, and I was excited to give them a try because I wear T-shirts all the time. They're comfortable, and since I don't have to dress in a suit for work, they're also a part of my wardrobe during the week.

My first impression was that the Go-To Tee fit very well. As simple as T-shirts are, I usually like to try them on in person, because you never know if a brand's cut is going to be a little too big or small. Public Rec got this right, so there's no need to size up or down. 

The second thing I noticed was how nice the custom material was; I loved how soft it felt on my skin, and the noticed the added stretchiness. It's not stretchy to the point that it feels like workout gear, but you can tell it'll keep its shape just by its feel.

Still, I put the shirt to the test: I wore it to work during the week, washed and dried it, and then wore it again during a very busy Saturday. In the past, I have worn T-shirts under the assumption that they will need to be replaced after just a few wears and washes — that wasn't the case this time. After being worn and washed, Public Rec's Go-To Tee kept the same shape and fit.

As the name suggests, it really is a shirt that you can rely on for many occasions.

If you're tired of regularly replacing your T-shirts, and want one that will keep you cool and comfortable while keeping its shape, this is the one to buy.

You can buy the Public Rec Go-To Tee on the company's site for $54.

It's not uncommon to have some anxieties about how well you're performing in the bedroom. And while whatever sex you and your partner are comfortable with is "good" sex, there is always some room to improve the mood. 

INSIDER spoke to experts to determine some simple and fun ways to up your game between the sheets. 

Set the "stage" for a romantic night.

While you might be content having sex on your same old Ikea sheets in a room draped in unwashed laundry, if you want better sex, you may want to improve your environment. 

Take some time, clean up your space, light a candle or at least spray some air freshener and strike up some mood lighting. This can show your partner that you're emotionally invested and boost your connection during sex, Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator, sex coach and founder of b-Vibe & Le Wand, told INSIDER.

Talk about sex outside the bedroom.

Pillow-talk is a great time to get your desires out there, but it's not always the most productive. 

If you want to boost your connection and enjoyment in the bedroom, that starts with talking about your desires during your everyday life. Try bringing up what you'd like out of your next romp in the sheets during a road-trip or walk around the block, sexologist Megan Stubbs told INSIDER.

"Try to start a conversation with your partner in a neutral location," she said. "It is best not to spring new discussions when you are in bed. This removes the pressure from your partner to act or answer in a way that would keep the peace before bed. Car rides are a great location for starting a dialogue."

Stop comparing yourself to others.

It can be hard not to compare yourself to images in the media, so it's no surprise that many people struggle with worrying if they are having "good sex."

Sex therapist Angie Gunntold INSIDER that putting this of your mind is imperative to improving your sex life. 

"One of the biggest mistakes related to sex that I observe in couples is applying assumptions, past experiences, or media constructed ideas about sex to their sex," Gunn said. "Pleasurable, connective sex is often nothing like the models we've been given or images we've observed. Bodies, positions, sounds, and acts are way more diverse, creative and beautiful than the boxes we try to impose."

Summer usually means I spend 75% of my time knocking around the city in Chuck Taylor converse. They're easy to get, are completely ubiquitous and unoffensive to almost any outfit, and they mean I can transition from walking 40 blocks in the heat to happy hour drinks with friends easier than flats allow. 

However, even given their long-held spot as my summer MVPs, the extremely comfortable and stylish Soludos smoking slippers might unseat them from that #1 pick.

My first interaction with them was surprise — though incredibly lightweight and breathable, they didn't feel flimsy. I'm sure by nature of their canvas-like construction that they'll show wear and tear, but for $75 that's not a lot to replace a pair of shoes I wear at least twice a week.

Speaking of breathability, I never really thought about how much I minded being stuck in hot cotton socks in 80 degree weather until I experienced that situation in heavy New York City humidity in my Soludos. Squinting into the sun trying to figure out after four hours of walking where to take my visiting friends next could have felt more cloying and gross than it did, and I was incredibly thankful for shoes that mean your feet can breath, especially since so much heat escapes (or becomes trapped) from extremities like your feet and head. 

The Lemon Embroidered Platform Smoking Slipper that I have features a cute and somewhat quirky design like most of the Soludos slippers do, combining a minimalist shoe with playful embroidery and addictively breathable, soft material. I've started opting for them simply because they tend to dress up everything I wear without any comfort lost.

If I manage to work this pair down to threadbare platforms, I can pretty much guarantee I'll be buying myself a couple more just to get through the warmer months. Given how much I use them, I'll pay back what I spent in the first month I have them.

Two other Insider Picks members tried out the surprisingly great Soludos smoking slippers, and you can find their specific thoughts on each of their respective picks below.

There are few pairs of shoes that have impressed me as much as Soludos' espadrilles right off the bat. They're amazingly comfortable — my pair had no break-in period at all (the first time I wore them I was heading to the airport, which could have been a terrible choice, but worked out so much better than I ever expected) — and lightweight enough that you'll want to wear them all summer.

Soludos also has so many fun designs that you’ll probably have trouble deciding on just one pair. I went with the Leather Zebra Jute Platform Smoking Slipper; since it’s a neutral color with a simple pattern, it goes with a wide variety of looks, from jeans to shorts to sundresses.

My pair is on sale right now, and I’m seriously debating whether to buy a second pair so I have it on hand when I eventually need to replace my current one.

I’ve disliked laced shoes since childhood and find every opportunity I can to wear adult-appropriate slip-ons. Soludos’ smoking slippers have a slightly casual look, but they’re well constructed and didn’t look out of place the dozen or so times I’ve worn them to the office. They may be called slippers, but they’re more like canvas boat shoes, and I plan on wearing them during a majority of the weekends I spend outdoors this summer.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Luke Cage and Jessica Jones team up with Daredevil and Iron Fist for an epic show down in the new season of "The Defenders."
• The season will consist of eight episodes.
• "The Defenders" will show the four characters meeting for the first time when their solo adventures bring them together.

Just a few years ago, Marvel audiences didn’t yet know Luke Cage or Jessica Jones, and now, they’re about to team up with Daredevil and Iron Fist for one epic showdown in the Big Apple.

When the four Netflix heroes unite in "The Defenders" to take on a new new threat, it’s sure to be one fun fight with the martial arts skills of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) combined with the sheer strength of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter). The four characters will meet for the first time when all of their solo adventures find them converging on one big mystery. We don’t know all of the details just yet, but we do know a lot about just where the story stands when the show picks up about six months after the events of "Iron Fist."

The premiere is just around the corner, but not everyone is caught up on the goings on in the Netflix end of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. If you need a refresher, or if there’s one Marvel hero whose show you haven’t watched yet, we’ve got you covered. You’ll find everything you need for a crash course, with The Defenders: 15 things you need to know before watching.

"The Defenders" includes far more than the core four

The title characters in each of the previous Marvel Netflix series might make up the team known as the Defenders, but they aren’t the only familiar faces appearing in the series.

"Daredevil’s" main characters Karen Page and Foggy Nelson will be putting in appearances, while Malcolm Ducasse and Trish Walker will be involved from "Jessica Jones," Misty Knight from "Luke Cage," and Colleen Wing from Iron Fist. Considering Foggy and Karen both have high profile jobs in New York now, Malcolm became Jessica’s assistant at the tail end of her series, and the latter three ladies all possess serious fighting skills, those probably aren’t a huge surprise.

Also appearing? Jeri Hogarth and Claire Temple. Claire has become the glue holding the Netflix shows together, appearing in every season of every series so far, but Jeri has also crossed over from "Jessica Jones" into "Iron Fist" and "Daredevil" at this point, so expect to see plenty of them.

Oh, and Madame Gao will be along for the ride as well!

Only one Defender has mystical powers

Though each of the four title characters have their own special abilities, most of them are the results of science fiction events. Daredevil’s abilities emerged after an accident with toxic chemicals, Jessica Jones discovered hers after an accident as well (though her series hinted that they could be the result of experimentation), and Luke Cage gained his thanks to some illegal experiments going on while he was in prison.

It is only Danny Rand who can claim magic as the root of his abilities. Danny, who battled a dragon and became the Iron Fist, has advanced martial arts skills and some serious powers in his one hand – as long as he can focus. Given that the trailers for the series seem to indicate some other mystical goings-on, Danny might wind up being more important in "The Defenders" than anyone first thought.

Stick's war is here

"Daredevil" fans will remember that the title character’s mentor was spending an awful lot of time training him for a “war” that Matt didn’t think was actually coming. Stick seemed to indicate that the war involved The Hand’s Black Sky in the second season of the series, and Matt probably thought any possible wars were behind him once he dealt with ninjas climbing hospital walls and draining the blood of innocent people in building basements.

Not so fast.

Following "Daredevil" season two, if viewers tuned in for "Iron Fist," they saw that The Hand was still plenty operational, and Colleen Wing was even almost set up for some blood draining of her own. The Hand was very much still out there and preparing for a fight.

The war that Stick has always alluded to, and that Colleen’s students were seemingly preparing for, is finally coming to New York. Just what exactly it will entail, we don’t know yet, but Stick seems to think the four Defenders are the only ones who stand a chance of bringing it to an end.

It only took Anthony Scaramucci 10 days to go from getting hired as President Donald Trump's new communications director to suddenly looking for a new job.

The Long Island native has a long history on Wall Street, and was an early, vocal backer of President Donald Trump.

Scaramucci's appointment to the White House set off a firestorm of controversy that included the resignation of embattled press secretary Sean Spicer, the ousting of chief of staff Reince Priebus, and an expletive-filled interview that ultimately paved the way to his downfall.

Scaramucci has long been a household name on Wall Street, but was relatively unknown elsewhere until his wild ride at the White House. Here's a primer:

SEE ALSO: Inside the rise, fall, rebound, and spectacular flameout of Anthony Scaramucci

DON'T MISS: Scaramucci is out as Trump's communications director after 10 days — and Twitter went nuts

He was hired, fired and then rehired at Goldman Sachs

Scaramucci worked at Goldman Sachs for some time after graduating from Harvard Law School.

He was even fired before being rehired in a sales role, he recounted to reporters several years ago.  

He later founded SkyBridge Capital, which invests rich people's money in hedge funds

Scaramucci later ran SkyBridge Capital, a fund of hedge funds firm. It basically invests wealthy people's money into hedge funds, private investment vehicles that make bets on the markets.

Scaramucci had heralded SkyBridge as a way for America's dentists and doctors – who might not have enough money to access hedge funds directly – to put their money in the hands of hedge fund titans.

The fund's sales practices drew criticism over the years, and a Main Street mutual fund that SkyBridge started also struggled with performance,Reuters reported earlier this year.

Still, the firm grew to billions in assets, much of that from relationships with Wall Street banks that directed their rich clients' money into the fund.

He has a love-hate relationship with the press

Scaramucci loves media attention and courts it like a pro (including from Business Insider). Sometimes, it is to promote books, like one he wrote on entrepreneurship called "Hopping over the Rabbit Hole." He has also hosted a TV show called "Wall Street Week" on Fox Business.

But he was accused of threatening a columnist after he wrote something Scaramucci didn't like. Felix Salmon, a financial columnist, wrote for Reuters about his experience.

Here's Salmon back in 2011:

"I’ve seen another side to Scaramucci: my post about his wine tasting was followed by a series of irate phone calls and emails from him, not only to me but also to any and every senior Thomson Reuters executive he could think of. It’s the steely competitor underneath the glad-handing exterior."

Scaramucci said he tried to get Salmon fired twice, though the two eventually made up.

More recently, he reportedly threatened to sue CNN over a story that it later retracted. When it did, and three staffers were let go, he tweeted ".@CNN did the right thing. Classy move. Apology accepted. Everyone makes mistakes. Moving on."

Scientology is a hot topic these days. Ever since Leah Remini's show gave us an inside look at the religion back in January, all eyes have been on the church and its members. 

While the religion seemed to have peaked in the early 2000s, there are still several famous faces affiliated with it.

Here are 21 famous Scientologists both past and present. 

Elisabeth Moss

She's been making waves with her Hulu show "The Handmaid's Tale," but many viewers can't get past the fact that this leading actress is an outspoken Scientologist. 

According to an interview with The Telegraph, her parents introduced her to the religion, and she maintains that it has helped her remain calm and level-headed.

"Some people say yoga really helps them feel centered... or there's Buddhism or whatever. I mean, I think that for me it's [Scientology], one thing that has helped me at times, and it's kind of as simple as that," she said.

Danny Masterson

Masterson has a long history with the church, as his family practiced Scientology. He's been outspoken about it too, defending Tom Cruise when his Scientology video leaked in 2008, and explaining the religion to curious reporters. 

"The definition of Scientology is 'the study of knowledge,'" Masterson said in an interview with Paper magazine. "Obviously, the more knowledge you have in a given field, such as life, the more confident you are as a person."

Laura Prepon

Masterson wasn't the only cast member on "That '70s Show" with ties to Scientology. A Scientologist since 1999, she's said in an interview that "Honestly, I’ve become more me."

Gas guzzling up all your money? Grub gobbling up your entire budget? You're not the only one.

A new survey from Bankrate finds that, on average, millennials spend $2,300 more per year than other generations on groceries, dining out, gas and cellphone services.

Here are some even more cringe-worthy numbers: Millennials, on average, spend more than $9,500 annually on groceries, around $3,000 on gas and $2,800 at restaurants every year.

You GUYS! Yikes.

I know, spending on these categories is necessary for survival (however, I promise you'll be OK if you opt to go without unlimited data), but there are still easy ways you can dramatically cut those costs. Because while saving major money at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale or on a sweet treat on National Ice Cream Day might give your budget a little boost, your finances will still be in a funk if you're spending crazy cash on routine purchases.

That's why I've compiled my top three tips on stacking up savings in the three categories millennials spend the most on: groceries, gas and dining out. It might not be the most glamorous, but it could be end up being glue that holds your budget together.

Groceries

1. Buy generic (or Brandless)

By now, everybody should know that store brands often offer good, quality items at a fraction of the cost. My faves are Costco's Kirkland Signature and Target's Archer Farms, because they fuel me up without skimping on flavor.

As further proof that being a label snob is just plain weak, a company called Brandless launched just a few weeks ago and is marketing to money-savvy millennials in a majorly new way. At Brandless, everything from food to beauty to health products is just $3.

Brandless eliminates what it calls the "BrandTax" (aka, the hidden costs you pay through inefficiencies and markups) that it says typically raises product prices by an average of 40 percent. The site doesn't offer as many options as you'll get on a typical grocery shopping trip, but that could actually be better for your budget. And, the minimalist packaging is v. millennial.

2. Meal prep

The secret to trimming your waistline while beefing up your bank account can be as simple as a indulging in a little meal prep. Preparing your meals ahead of time will cut down on the food you waste (so you're really getting the most for your money), and will help you swerve the temptation of dining out (more on that later).

Plan your grocery list for the week around a protein that's on sale, and buy in bulk. (Bonus points if you get your grub at a warehouse club!) Then, mix up the flavor with different seasonings and marinades. Save any leftover chopped veggies as snacks for the week.

3. Shop in-season produce

Being healthy is not only hard (hitting snooze > hitting the gym), it can be pricey, too. Fresh produce that does your body good can spike your grocery bill, which is no bueno. Shop strategically by buying in-season fruits and veggies — that'll save you a significant amount of money.

If you like visuals as much I do, check out this cool chart from the National Resources Defense Council, which outlines what produce is in-season in your state, month by month. Summer in New York = beets, blueberries and broccoli. Yum.

Dining out

1. Dine during off-peak hours

Really craving a specific dish from your fave restaurant? Indulge for less by dining during off-peak hours. Eateries often offer timely promotions and discounts (hello, happy hour!) to attract diners during those awkward hours between lunch and dinner.

Through OpenTable, a popular app that rewards diners with points for making and fulfilling reservations, many restaurants even offer 1,000 points (as opposed to the usual 100) during specific times of the day. Points can then be redeemed for rewards!

2. Take advantage of Restaurant Week

Frugal foodies, you're in luck; it's Restaurant Week season in many major cities! Once or twice a year, a bunch of big cities offer weeklong promotions at their hottest restaurants. Participating restaurants typically offer discounted three-course, fixed-price menus. It's the perfect opportunity to go to that fancy restaurant you've been dying to try but know is way out of your price range, or to treat yourself in a controlled way.

3. Skip it!

Here's the major difference between the gas and groceries categories and dining out: The first two are likely essential to your day-to-day, while the other is not. And that's important to remember.

Dining out is totally fine, as long as you do it moderation. And, my friends, spending $2,800 on restaurants annually is not exactly in moderation. Slash those dining-out expenses, sock a little more into your savings and follow the savings tips above to end the summer on a strong financial note!

Gas

1. Download a gas app

If you really want to be frugal about your fuel, download a few free gas apps to ensure you're getting the most for your money! Apps like GasBuddy and Gas Guru hunt for the best fuel prices at gas stations near you, so you can be smart about where you stop and fuel up.

2. Use your go-to grocery store for frugal fuel

I already know you're spending more than you should on groceries (Bankrate's survey proves it!), so you might as well really maximize your money at the supermarket by using loyalty programs to your advantage.

Here are a few standout fuel rewards programs at major grocery chains (note: offers might vary by market):

• Kroger:Earn one fuel point for every $1 you spend on groceries with your Kroger Plus Card, and earn twice as many fuel points when you buy gift cards. Redeem 100 fuel points at participating Shell stations for 10 cents off per gallon, or up to 1,000 fuel points at Kroger Fuel Centers for $1 off per gallon.

• Safeway: This chain's loyalty program offers one gas reward point for every $1 spent on eligible on groceries, and two points for every $1 spent on select gift cards. Every 100 fuel points earned equal 10 cents off per gallon at participating stations. The maximum at participating Sunoco stations is 20 cents off per gallon and $1 off per gallon at Safeway stations.

• Stop & Shop: Score one gas rewards point for every dollar spent on eligible purchases with the Stop & Shop Card. 100 points = 10 cents off per gallon at participating stations, with a maximum of 20 gallons of fuel per vehicle per purchase. You also can snag one point for every $1 you spend with Stop & Shop's Peapod delivery service.

3. Check out discounted gas gift cards

Snag a few gas cards at discount gift card websites like CardCash, Gift Card Granny, and Cardpool. While the savings can seem a bit skimpy, they can add up if you use discounted cards consistently.

I found a $500 Mobil gift card for $487 on Gift Card Granny (2.6 percent in savings) and a $100 ExxonMobil gift card for $97.40 on CardCash (2.6 percent in savings).

Remember to also look for credit cards that reward you with cash back or rewards at gas stations! Get as many discounts or as much cash back as you can.

The INSIDER Summary: 

• The royal family must follow a set of etiquette rules in order to uphold their proper reputation.
• There are small but important rules regarding the way you sit, curtsy, and hold a tea cup.
• Perhaps most importantly, Queen Elizabeth II is always first when part of a procession.  

From the way you eat to the way you walk down a flight of stairs, here's what it takes to have the manners of a royal.

Sit like a royal

One of the worst things a woman in the royal family can do — as far as etiquette rules go — is sit with her legs crossed at the knee. Legs and knees must be kept together, although crossing at the ankle is fine. One popular pose is called “the duchess slant,” coined by Beaumont Etiquette and named for the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. Her go-to sitting position involves keeping her knees and ankles tightly together and slanting her legs to the side. It keeps her posture modest and makes her legs appear longer. In fact, the late Princess Diana was known to sit the exact same way.

Make your curtsy subtle

Royal curtsies don’t need to reach the floor; simply put one leg behind the other, bend your knees, and bow your head slightly. However, deeper curtsies and long pauses are a sign of respect and formality, for instance, when meeting Queen Elizabeth II.

Dress appropriately

The royals have a knack for being fashionable. Princess Diana’s fashion sense was functional but classy, one that many women still copy today. The Queen famously wears neon outfits on more occasions than not. Kate Middleton loves different patterns and textures. Yet they all have one thing in common: They dress modestly and for the occasion.

On Wednesday, Amazon hosted a colossal, nation-wide jobs fair — Amazon is billing it as the largest in the US.

In an effort to fill 50,000 warehouse jobs at the company, the online retail giant invited people across the county to tour 10 of its warehouses and apply for these jobs in person.

The Robbinsville, New Jersey, warehouse alone had 1,500 jobs up for grabs, according to local news outlet NJ.com. When we stopped by, we watched as hundreds of people turned out to try to snag a role.

Here's what we saw during Amazon Jobs Day at the Robbinsville warehouse:

When we arrived at the warehouse a little after the 8 a.m start time, the line was already getting long.

We headed into the fulfillment center, which has been open since 2014. The place was huge.

Amazon has stated that it plans to hire 50,000 full-time and part-time fulfillment center positions throughout the day for its 10 warehouses across the US.

In the United States, the site of a yellow bus bouncing down the road is practically synonymous with school.

But in other parts of the world, the trek to school looks much different.

Some kids in the Philippines step through knee-deep rocky waters to get to class, while students in Japan pass Geiger counters tracking local radiation levels.

Here's what early-morning commutes to school look like around the world.

In parts of Cairo, Egypt, "school buses" involve kids piling into and hanging off the back of ordinary trucks.

In Sri Lanka, some girls must cross wooden planks laid over the walls of a 16th century fort in the coastal town of Galle.

The INSIDER Summary: 

• Some grooms come up with less traditional ways to pop the question. 
• A few of the more adventurous ideas include proposing while mountain climbing and a proposal on live TV.
• Some of these inventive proposals didn't go quite as smoothly as planned.

Some grooms to be are really willing to go the extra mile to surprise their potential brides, so much so that all the normal down-on-one-knee-with-a-ring stuff looks like child's play. We caught up with some particularly adventurous types who were willing to share their over the top, totally outrageous marriage proposals.

When in doubt, include her pet cat

"My husband pretended that our kitten ate the promise ring he had gotten me," shares now-wed Kristen Roberts. "As I frantically searched for it—and I was hysterical—he sat me down and said, 'I think you might need a new ring' and then asked me to marry him. I was so flustered with the entire situation I just kept crying and asked him if he was joking. I finally realized he was serious and my kitten didn't eat the promise ring, and said yes." The cat, by the way, was holding the new and improved ring. Check out this marriage advice from folks married 50+ years.

This guy took Pearl Jam to the next level

"My now-hubby knew I was a giant Pearl Jam fan, and we had a trip to Paris planned," shared Nadine Courtney of her husband Erik. "He had a Hollywood composer friend of his (who has done the music for a zillion films) orchestrate a version of my favorite Pearl Jam song, "Yellow Ledbetter," and then had a French friend of ours scout out two random musicians in Paris to learn it and play it. When we were in Paris visiting our friend, she took us down by the Seine for a walk, and I saw these two musicians hanging out by a bridge. I sort of rolled my eyes, because it had just started to rain, and I was like, 'Musicians hanging out under a bridge in the rain?! How French!' But Erik walked up to them and asked them in French he had learned if they knew how to play "Yellow Ledbetter." Obviously they did, they started playing it, and then we danced to it for about a minute before Erik got down on one knee and proposed." Think it sounds super cute? The video of the proposal is even cuter.

Some guys surprise a girl at work

This beaming groom-to-be from Brooklyn included his girlfriend's entire elementary school class in his proposal. Her young students each participated in the surprise proposal by holding flowers, cheering the couple on, and generally making the warmest, cutest environment anyone could every ask for. You can see the video here. Find out the secrets to making your marriage work for the long haul.

The INSIDER Summary:

• There's a story behind a number of now-iconic celebrity hairstyles.
• Ariana Grande always has her hair in a ponytail because she says her hair is too broken to be worn down.
• Gwen Stefani first died her hair the signature platinum blonde she's known for after a break up.
• Kelly Rowland cut her hair short because she wanted to look different from the other Destiny's Child members.
• Jennifer Lawrence decided to go with a pixie cut after she didn't know how to deal with the grow-out from her previous bob.

Some haircuts are born from inspiration (a great celebrity reference, a trending style, maybe even a piece of art).

Other times, they're an act of desperation (you got drunk and cut your own bangs, fried your hair with bleach, or finally broke up with that person who texts "you up?" at 1 a.m.).

Turns out, some of the most famous cuts in the world were surprisingly a result of the latter camp.

Ahead, Kelly Rowland, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, and more reveal the humble beginnings of their now iconic styles.

Ariana Grande

After countless questions from her devoted Arianators, Grande set the record straight about her signature high ponytail. "My actual hair is so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down," she wrote in a 2014 Facebook post.

"I tried wigs, they looked RIDICULOUS. Tried a weave because I am working on a new project and want to try some different looks and literally wanted to rip my scalp off. So as annoying as it is for y'all to have to look at the same hair style all the time, it's all that works for now (AND I'm comfortable for the first time in years)."

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani — who now colors her hair every Monday — actually went blond after a breakup. "Once [No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal] broke up with me, my style changed loads too," she told Stylecaster.

"It was just like, 'I'm going blonde.' Like, I don't care if I have to scrape all of my money together to get my roots done, I'm doing it. It was that kind of thing [where] it wasn't until the break-up that it really started."

Bella Hadid

Did you know that Bella Hadid is actually a natural blonde? At the beginning of her career, she dyed her hair dark so that the industry wouldn't associate her with Gigi.

“I just have a darker personality. And my sister being blonde and me being brunette, it's a good separation," she told Allure. "I put a blonde wig on and think it would be fun to go back, but I'm happy with my hair. Blondes are so angelic. My sister can get away with anything."
