When you break down the best and worst parts of the average beauty routine, hair care can be one of the most tedious and expensive aspects.

From washing to styling, and every other step in between, hair-care routines are nothing if not complicated. And when you take into account that different hair types require varying levels of care and amounts of product, the task might as well be rocket science.

Thankfully, caring for your locks doesn't have to be difficult or costly.

Below, we rounded up some of the best drugstore products you can get for your hair type, based on online customer reviews.

First, here's how to figure out your hair type.

In the 1990s, Oprah Winfrey's hairstylist, Andre Walker, created a simple hair classification system that is still widely used in the industry today. Modeled after Walker's system, sites like Naturally Curly and CURLS now feature useful categorization tools that can help you figure out your hair type and how best to care for your hair.

These classification systems break hair types down into four numerical categories, each of which has three subcategories, labeled with letters "a" through "c." The number represents a texture family while the letter represents how loose or tight your curls are within that family. 

It's important to note, however, that your hair may not fit perfectly into one category or subcategory. Your hair may also be a combination of several hair types. Both are totally normal, according to Naturally Curly.

In general, according to these classification systems, Type 1 includes straight hair textures, Type 2 includes wavy hair textures, Type 3 includes curly hair textures, and Type 4 includes coily hair textures. Keep reading to find out more about the subcategories for Types 2 through 4.

The best conditioner for wavy hair

According to Naturally Curly, wavy hair (Type 2) falls into the following subcategories:

• Type 2a: Fine, thin waves with a loose, tousled texture
• Type 2b: Hair is mostly straight at the roots, with more defined S-shaped waves from mid-length to ends
• Type 2c: Waves start at the roots and are more defined with a thick or coarse texture

Every type of curl usually needs some extra hydration, but since waves are looser, moisturizing daily isn't always necessary. Instead, applying a leave-in conditioner once a week will do the trick.

Created with honey, sugar cane, caramel, olive fruit oil, and sugar maple, Camilla Rose Naturals' "Honey Hydrate Leave-In Conditioner" is a great choice. Not only will it moisturize your waves, it'll also leave your hair smelling great.

Cost: $13.99

The best spray for curly hair

According to Naturally Curly, curly hair (Type 3) falls into the following subcategories:

• Type 3a: Big, loose curls, with a well-defined "S" pattern, that tend to be shiny 
• Type 3b: Voluminous, springy curls that vary from ringlets to corkscrews with a coarse, dense texture 
• Type 3c: Very dense, tightly wound corkscrew curls

Curls can be tough to style, especially when they intertwine with each other and create knots. To keep your curly locks from tangling, spray in some "Strictly Curls Leave-In Detangling Conditioner" from Marc Anthony.

A moisturizing formula that is made with Vitamin E and shea butter, this conditioner promotes healthy curls starting at the scalp. Simply spray and let air dry, and your curls will be sleek, bouncy, and tangle-free. 

Cost: $7.99

• Just because Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie are both members of the royal family, doesn't mean they have to abide by the same rules. 
• Princess Eugenie is not considered a working member of the royal family, which means she can do things like wear colorful nail polish and have a personal Instagram account. 

Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie are both royal, but that doesn’t mean they abide by the same Queen Elizabeth-instated rule book. As the Duchess of Sussex, and the wife of the sixth in line to the throne, Meghan Markle’s required code of conduct is surprisingly more strict than that of Princess Eugenie, who technically isn’t a working royal. From careers to social media, here are seven rules that are vastly different for Meghan than they are for Eugenie.

Mani-pedis

As a working royal, Markle is restricted to using neutral polish or none at all. Eugenie, on the other hand, can rock "Lincoln Park After Dark" any time she pleases.  

Who wears short skirts?

Members of the royal family are encouraged to dress modestly, meaning that hemlines at or below the knees are expected. However, since Eugenie isn’t a working member of the royal family, she can don a minidress without getting any flak from Gan-Gan. Case in point? Meg’s royal wedding.

Watch your self(ie)

Want to snag your own Meghan Markle selfie? Too bad. The duchess is not permitted to snap selfies with fans. Eugenie, however, is totally fair game.

While divorce is heartbreaking for anyone, it's made all the more difficult for celebrities. Fans track their favorite stars' relationships and break-ups meticulously, forcing those in the public eye to release official statements when they choose to go their separate ways.

Most celebs value their privacy, especially with regards to their love lives and families, and prefer to keep the details of their divorces private. Still, quite a few have spoken out over the years about the pain of divorce and how it affected them.

These 18 celebrities have used their voices to open up about the heartbreak and (eventual) growth that comes with divorce.

Jennifer Aniston called out tabloid sexism.

The "Friends" actress opened up to InStyle about what it's like to have tabloids chronicling her relationships — and how they always paint the woman as the villain.

"The misconceptions are 'Jen can't keep a man,' and 'Jen refuses to have a baby because she's selfish and committed to her career,'" she said. "Or that I'm sad and heartbroken. First, with all due respect, I'm not heartbroken. And second, those are reckless assumptions."

"When a couple breaks up in Hollywood, it's the woman who is scorned," she continued. "The woman is left sad and alone. She's the failure. F that. When was the last time you read about a divorced, childless man referred to as a spinster?"

Ashton Kutcher spoke the truth.

"Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world," Kutcher tweeted simply when the news broke about his separation from Demi Moore, "and unfortunately sometimes they fail."

Kutcher is now married to Mila Kunis.

Eva Longoria opened up about her mental health post-divorce.

"[People] kept saying, 'You look amazing. Divorce agrees with you,'" she revealed to Dr. Oz on his talk show. "And I was like, 'I don't feel good. I have no energy.'"

"I didn't know I was depressed," she continued. "I mean, I knew it was a sad moment in my life, but I wouldn't categorize myself as depressed."

After nearly a decade of effort, SpaceX and Boeing are preparing to launch the first NASA astronauts on commercial spaceships.

On Friday, NASA announced the first nine astronauts who will risk their lives on the first crewed missions of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft in 2019.

The goal of NASA's Commercial Crew program, as it's called, is to taxi astronauts to and from the $150-billion International Space Station (ISS). Accomplishing that would close an increasingly expensive gap in the US' space-travel capabilities.

In 2015, NASA selected astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams and three other "space pioneers" to test then fly the new spaceships.

Williams is slated to fly aboard Boeing's second test flight to the ISS.

"Five years ago, this would have been like, 'No way, what are we doing asking commercial providers to be able to do this?'" Williams told Business Insider in June. "Now it feels like a natural progression for space travel."

Williams has flown inside three spaceships, served as commander of the International Space Station, lived in orbit for 322 days, and piloted 30 different types of aircraft for the Navy.

This extensive resume has come in handy over the past three years, as Williams has worked closely with Boeing and SpaceX. She and her colleagues have poked and prodded spacecraft mock-ups, tried on new spacesuits, fiddled with control panels, tested out simulators, and provided frank and sometimes critical feedback.

Here's why NASA needs Boeing and SpaceX, what Williams thinks of their new ships and suits, and how she's preparing to blast off into the uncharted territory of a new space race.

This story was updated with new information. It was originally published on June 24, 2018.

Williams said she and the rest of the "Commercial Crew Cadre," as they're called — astronauts Doug Hurley, Eric Boe, and Bob Behnken — have worked "hand-in-hand" with Boeing and SpaceX since being assigned to the program by NASA in 2015.

NASA announced on Friday that those four astronauts would be some of the first to fly crewed missions for Boeing and SpaceX, along with five others: John Cassada, Chris Ferguson, Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, and Nicole Mann.

NASA started the Commercial Crew program to replace its space shuttles. The cost of shuttle launches was high: Each mission cost about $1.5 billion, including development costs, and 14 astronauts died. The 135th and final mission launched in July 2011.

"The Bachelor" premiered in March 2002, changing the landscape of reality TV forever. Over the past 16 years, there have been 22 seasons of "The Bachelor," 14 seasons of "The Bachelorette," five seasons of "Bachelor in Paradise," three seasons of "Bachelor Pad," and one season of "The Bachelor Winter Games." That's a lot of potential relationships.

With the finale of Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette" looming, we've rounded up every single couple that's currently together as a result of "The Bachelor" franchise. That includes "Paradise,""Winter Games," and even couples that never shared any screen time, but met through their "Bachelor" connection.

Keep scrolling to see them all.

Arie Luyendyk and Lauren Burnham got engaged on the "After the Final Rose" special, after Luyendyk shocked the world by dumping his fiancée (now-Bachelorette) Becca Kufrin on live television.

Luyendyk first appeared on the eighth season of "The Bachelorette" in 2012, competing for the love of Emily Maynard. He eventually became the runner-up.

In 2017, ABC made the surprising move to bring him back for the 22nd season of "The Bachelor," where viewers watched him propose to Kufrin.

Sometime after the proposal, Luyendyk decided he had made a mistake, and contacted Burnham, the runner-up from his season, before breaking up with Kufrin while the cameras were rolling, making for a controversial moment in Bachelor Nation's history.

Luyendyk and Burnham began their relationship anew, and he proposed to her on the live "After the Final Rose" special, which airs after the finale. As of August 2018, the two are still together and are planning a January wedding in Hawaii.

Courtney Dober and Lily McManus are the only couple left standing from "The Bachelor Winter Games."

"The Bachelor Winter Games," an Olympic-themed spinoff of "Bachelor" franchises around the world, was a surprise hit, with many couples finding love. But of the seven (!) couples to emerge from the show, this is the only one still going strong.

Dober appeared on season two of "The Bachelorette Australia," and McManus was a contestant on the third season of "The Bachelor New Zealand." Though the two didn't receive much screen time during the show, a video of them trekking across America in an RV proved to Bachelor Nation that they're the real deal.

They celebrated their six-month anniversary in June 2018, which McManus commemorated with a selfie, captioning it "Glad you are my partner in crime, even if I don’t wear shoes where I should."

Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk found love on season four of "Bachelor in Paradise."

Gates quickly became a fan-favorite while she was a contestant on Nick Viall's season of "The Bachelor" in 2017. After finishing in second place, she made her way to Mexico for "Bachelor in Paradise," where she met Gottschalk, who had been a contestant on Rachel Lindsay's season of "The Bachelorette." His claim to fame? An unsettling mannequin he carried around named Adam Junior.

But all thoughts of Adam Junior were pushed aside once these two fell in love — and now they're the only couple left from their season of "Paradise," since Taylor Nolan and Derek Peth broke up.

Gates melted our hearts when she captioned a photo of the two, "Adam is my favorite person. I'm thankful he is the man he is. He sets an example for how every man should treat a woman."

On Hulu's series "Castle Rock," Bill Skarsgård's mysterious character appears to have two different-colored eyes. (You can check it out here.) That's not the case in real life, but there are many celebrities who have eyes with more than one distinct hue.

The condition is called heterochromia iridis, and it's not that rare, according to the NIH (National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences). Sometimes this results in a portion of one eye having a different color, called sectorial heterochromia, or it can mean having two different-colored irises completely, aka complete heterochromia. It's often caused by abnormalities of the iris, but can also be present at birth.

From two actors in "Mission: Impossible — Fallout" to a few onscreen superheroes, here are the actors you may not have realized have different colored eyes.

Kate Bosworth is probably the most well-known actress for having two different colored eyes.

You may not have noticed Bosworth's different-colored eyes, because casting agents and directors had her wear colored contacts while filming to make her eyes appear one color.

In 2006's "Superman Returns," director Bryan Singer told her to ditch the lenses and go natural.

"One of the first things I had to do when I got to Australia was screen test for my eyes with the wig and the costume, just to see if Bryan wanted to keep them the way they are. And he decided that he wanted to," Bosworth told the Sydney Morning Herald. "So now the Lois Lane dolls have different colored eyes, which is strange."

Mila Kunis had two different colored eyes for years because of an injury causing blindness in an eye.

The two colors were more noticeable when Kunis was younger. She had a chronic inflammation of the iris, which made it difficult to see. A cataract that formed as a result made her eyes appear different colors. She later had surgery to correct it.

"I was blind in one eye for many years, and nobody knew," Kunis told Cosmopolitan in 2011.

"I had surgery a couple of months ago," she added. "They cut it open and dropped a new lens in there."

Superman actor Henry Cavill's eyes are mostly blue, but real fans know one of them has a tinge of brown.

It's not easy to see, but if you look at the star closely, he has a patch of brown in the top of his left eye.

Summertime TV viewing has become easier with each passing year as new streaming platforms and original series become available to audiences craving some couch time. But which show is ruling the season? INSIDER worked with Parrot Analytics, which compiles available global data on social media, blogging, pirating, and other factors to figure out the viewer demand for shows.

Parrot assigned each series an "expressions" total that reflects average daily audience demand from all countries from May 27 to July 25, 2018 (adjusted for each country's population).

20. "The Expanse" (Syfy)

Average Demand Expressions: 1.69 million

Towards the beginning of May this year, Syfy announced that "The Expanse" would be cancelled following the conclusion of its third season in June. 

Thanks to fan petitions and outspoken celebrities (including "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin), the pressure worked. Amazon announced it will be picking up "The Expanse for future seasons.

19. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (FOX)

Average Demand Expressions: 1.72 million

Similar to "The Expanse,""Brooklyn Nine-Nine" made waves at the start of the summer when it was cancelled and then saved. This time it was NBC who stepped in to save the buddy cop comedy as it headed towards its sixth season.

18. "America's Got Talent" (NBC)

Average Demand Expressions: 1.75 million

Now with super-host Tyra Banks and judge Simon Cowell, this talent-based reality series is still captivating millions each week. The thirteenth season is airing now on Tuesday nights.

Conor McGregor is, like his combat sports nickname suggests, "Notorious."

The UFC fighter is as famous for his concussive striking power as he is for his memorable microphone skills, his flambouyant dress sense, and his taste for a night on the town. He plays hard, but he trains even harder. McGregor won titles in Cage Warriors, transitioned into premier cage-fighting firm UFC, and continued to trounce his opponents.

McGregor has not fought in UFC since 2016, but his fame grew so quickly he was regarded as a good enough opponent for Floyd Mayweather's retirement bout — a fight McGregor lost, albeit valiently, in the 10th round last year.

McGregor is set to return to the UFC octagon this year, potentially against Russian foe Khabib Nurmagomedov. But to maintain his sporting dominance, he has to eat right. So what sort of food does a former two-weight UFC world-champion fighter eat?

Here's everything McGregor likes to have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This is Conor McGregor, the former two-weight UFC champion renowned for his pre-fight trash talk, his highlight-reel striking, and his flashy lifestyle. After two years away from mixed martial arts, McGregor looks set to return to the sport and will reportedly challenge Russian wrestler Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight world title at UFC 229.

McGregor projects a work-hard, play-hard image. When it comes to training camp and cutting weight, he may well be an advocate of the "Sirtfood diet," having taken a photograph holding a copy of the book by Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten. The weight-loss diet involves foods that are rich in "sirtfoods"— typically, things like green tea, 85% dark chocolate, and citrus fruits.

FIFA, the world governing body in soccer, has announced a shortlist of 10 candidates for The Best FIFA Men's Player for 2018 just weeks after the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The winner of the award, which attempts to recognise the "extraordinary achievements" of soccer players over the past season, will be announced at a ceremony in London on September 24.

The winner will be decided by the following four groups, with equal weighting (25%) given to each:

1. The captains of all national teams
2. The head coaches of all national teams
3. A fan ballot that the public can participate in
4. A group of approximately 200 members of the international media

In no particular order, here are the 10 soccer players in with a chance of winning this year's award.

Antoine Griezmann — Atlético Madrid and France national team forward.

Antoine Griezmann has been instrumental to the success of his club and his country so far in 2018. He scored twice in Atlético's 3-0 win over Olympique Marseille in the Europa League final in May, and once in France's 4-2 victory over Croatia in the World Cup final in July.

Titles won in 2018: UEFA Europa League winner with Atlético and FIFA World Cup winner with France. FIFA World Cup Bronze Ball (third best player) and FIFA World Cup Silver Boot (second top scorer).

Cristiano Ronaldo — Juventus F.C. and Portugal national team striker.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored one of the best goals of the decade when he stunned Juventus with an acrobatic overhead kick — a "PlayStation goal"— in the Champions League quarterfinal earlier this year. He scored goal after goal in Real Madrid's march to the Champions League title, and then sealed a shock $130 million transfer to Juventus during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Titles won in 2018: UEFA Champions League winner with Real Madrid. Ronaldo was also the Champions League top goalscorer for the 2017-2018 season.

Eden Hazard — Chelsea FC and Belgium national team forward.

Hazard continued to grind away at Chelsea FC in the 2017-2018 season, but it was at the 2018 FIFA World Cup where he really came alive. Hazard was a nuisance from the first game to the last, and was truly deserving of the Silver Ball award.

Titles won in 2018: FIFA World Cup third place with Belgium. Hazard also won the 2018 FIFA World Cup Silver Ball (second best player) and was the joint top assist provider at the tournament in Russia.

Former President Barack Obama has been living the dream ever since he left office more than a year ago.

From vacationing in exotic locations, to dancing at a Beyoncé-Jay Z concert, to negotiating a Netflix deal, Obama has been making the most of his post-presidency — and it's hard not to feel a little nostalgic for the eight years he was in office.

Here's a glimpse at the moments that made people love Obama, and show why many miss him now.

• Tesla has a long history of dealing with crisis after crisis.
• Tesla's most recent crisis was with production of the Model 3 sedan — but it now appears that the company has stabilized its problems.
• The latest crisis was rough, but there have been others that were also challenging.
• The company's detractors could be underestimating Tesla's ability to recover from setback.

Tesla reported second-quarter earnings last week, and while the company lost more than it ever has, it also brought in a record amount of revenue. 

More importantly, the company put its most recent crisis decisively behind it. As a carmaker, it's now clearly figured out how to elevate production of its Model 3 sedan, which had endured a difficult birth. At a minimum, Tesla is probably able to manufacture 2,000 per week, stretching up to 5,000.

On the PR front, CEO Elon Musk did his penance and expressed contrition for flipping out on the first-quarter earnings call when several Wall Street analyst made him mad. 

The markets liked all of this, brushing off the bottom-line miss and giving Tesla a 15% improvement in its stock price. By the time the Nasdaq closed on Thursday, Tesla shares were again threatening $350. Breaking through that level, with three months to go before third-quarter results and serious questions about profitability, could send the stock on a rally toward $400, something that happened in 2017.

The bear thesis about Tesla — which over the first half of 2018 had pivoted to bankruptcy calculations at worst and prognostications about how much humiliation Musk would endure if he had to return to the markets to raise capital after ruling that out — is now in something of shambles.

Short-sellers have suffered real pain and have more to come if the stock doesn't retreat. Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn effectively threw in the towel prior to Tesla's earnings announcement when he admitted that his short position had contributed to an 18% loss for his fund year-to-date.

Bulls aren't going to have it easy, either. Numerous Wall Street analysts have trimmed their price-targets on Tesla and are now in the awkward position of having to take Musk's word that the profits, to this point staggering absent, will materialize in the second half of 2018.

The tricky thing about the most recent Tesla crisis is that it did have the outlines of the Big One. That's why it sucked in some much enthusiasm among naysayers, while the company's supporters had to kind of hang on for dear life. Even Musk said that Tesla couldn't bet the farm again, as it did with Model 3, and get away with it.

What the bears overlooked this time was that crisis is something that Tesla knows and knows well. The scale matters, but not as much as they assumed. So for the record, here's a look back at all the other crises Tesla has overcome in the past 15 years.

2008: Legit brush with bankruptcy.

Tesla was tiny and under incredible pressure in 2008. The Model S, the company's first from-scratch design, was years away, and its was clear that the original Roadster wasn't going to fund the company's growth.

Musk had sunk all his money from the sale of PayPal to eBay into Tesla, but the the end of 2008, the company was running on fumes. On an 11th-hour funding round saved the carmaker from bankruptcy.

Crisis averted, but it would be four long years before the Model S would arrive.

2009: The Great Recession.

The degree to which the financial crisis damaged Tesla isn't much discussed, but this wasn't a pleasant period for the company. 

With the economy seized up, Tesla was largely on its own as other electric-vehicle startups dropped left and right. Credit wasn't flowing, and the auto market in the US fell to a catastrophic 10-million annual sales pace. 

Nobody was sure there would be a market for all-electric vehicles, if and when the market recovered. Tesla, after having just stared into the abyss of bankruptcy, was staring over a cliff of permanently lowered expectations.

2010-2013: The stock goes nowhere after the IPO.

Tesla's market cap is now $50 billion, more than Ford's and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. But it's 2010 IPO was relatively unremarkable, raising just over $225 million with shares priced at $17.

For the next three years, shares were flat and while Tesla was much-discussed and the US auto industry recovered, the company was under-the-radar financially and had to undertake additional stock offerings to pay its bills. 

• Some off-lease used SUVs and pick-up trucks can be bought for prices between $17,000 and $48,000. 
• iSeeCars.com analyzed more than 4.1 million cars to find the 10 SUVs and three pick-ups trucks that had the lowest 3-year-old used price. 
• The average depreciation rate for the top-10 almost-new SUVs after three years fell between 41.7% and 47.2%.
• Pick-up trucks did not have as high a 3-year-old depreciation rate, as the three cars listed had an average of 23.3%. 
  

  ---

We all love a good deal when we see one. One of the better deals on the market is the purchase of an almost-new off-lease used car, meaning one that has only seen three years of use on the road. 

The automotive search engine iSeeCars.com recently commissioned a study to look at the used car industry, where they found the best used-car deals out there. But the study also took a more focused measurement of which are the best used cars that can be had for the very lowest price.

iSeeCars.com also looked at the specific field of SUVs and pick-up trucks, which are now among the most popular cars on the entire market. This list includes nine domestic models and four imports, featuring companies such as Ford, GMC, Buick, Acura, and Mercedes-Benz. Ford recently followed FCA's lead and began to eliminate their sedan business in favor of producing SUVs and crossovers. Pick-up trucks are among the best-selling cars in the United States, with the Ford F-Series being the number one best selling full-size pickup in the country for thirty years.

Among the 4.1 million cars surveyed measuring models with the greatest loss in value after three years, iSeeCars.com ranked the top 10 SUVs and the top three pickup trucks. 

The SUV depreciation rate after three years fell between 41.7% to a 47.2% for the 10 models chosen. 

"The top depreciating SUVs are exclusively crossovers, with six midsize, three compact, and one full-size" said iSeeCars CEO Phong Ly in a statement.  "The lone full-size crossover model, the GMC Acadia, underwent a redesign in 2017 to become a midsize crossover, and this change likely contributed to the price drop on its older models."

In terms of pick-up trucks, the survey only ranked three total cars, which had an average depreciation rate of 23.3%, far lower than the average depreciation rate of 35% for all vehicle models in the survey. 

"Below-average depreciation isn't surprising when you consider the increased demand for trucks," said Ly. "People tend to use their pickup trucks for work and hold onto them, which limits the supply in the secondary marketplace."

Let's take a look at each of these SUVs and pick-up trucks below.

So, you lost your AirPods. Now what?

At $159, it's not exactly cheap to buy a new pair. Even an individual AirPod — or case — can run you $69 to replace. 

But before pulling out your credit card, it's worth trying to track them down first. Even if you think they're gone forever, Apple's technology may still be able to help you.

Here's how to track down your lost AirPods using Apple's Find My iPhone service. 

SEE ALSO: I switched to Spotify two months ago — and I miss Apple Music every single day

There's one important thing to know before you get started: This feature will not work if your AirPods are dead, out of range, or if they're in their case with the lid closed.

This feature also won't work if you didn't turn on the Find My iPhone app before you lost your AirPods. 

However, it may be possible to use the app to track down your AirPods inside their charging case, so long as it's left open. 

If you lose your AirPods outside of their case, it's possible you can track them down using Find My iPhone. The service works for all your Apple devices, not just your iPhone.

There are two ways to get started: you can either do it on your iPhone or iPad (or iPod touch), or on desktop.

If you're using a computer:

1. Open iCloud.com
2. Sign in (you'll need your Apple ID and password for this)
3. Click on the icon that says "Find iPhone" 
4. Click on "All Devices" and look for AirPods in the drop-down device list

If you're using your iPhone or iPad:

1. Locate the Find My iPhone app
2. Sign in using your Apple ID
3. You should see a list with all your connected Apple devices, including AirPods.

Once you're logged in and looking at your device list, you should see a bunch of colored dots. These dots tell you the status of each device.

• A blue dot signifies the device that you're currently using
• A green dot means that the device is online
• A gray dot means that the device is offline. This could mean a variety of things, including that the device has run out of battery, is turned off, or is out of range. Still, the map should be able to show you where it was last connected. In the case of AirPods, if they eventually comes back online, you'll get a notification on whatever device you use them with.

The marketplace economy is hot.

Just ask Stripe, the $9 billion payments company that has become part of the basic wiring for thriving online marketplaces.  

These marketplaces allow a diverse range of buyers and sellers to connect and do business, whether it's riders and drivers on Lyft's platform, or homeowners and furniture assemblers on TaskRabbit's service. 

Stripe's application programming interface (API) lets companies that operate marketplaces receive payments in their apps or on their websites. It's used by a range of companies, from Facebook and Glossier to Lyft and TaskRabbit — which means Stripe has access to a lot of data about companies' revenues and consumer habits.  

It's a booming segment that includes a range of well known companies, like the commerce platform Shopify, the crowdfunding site GoFundMe, the on-demand food delivery app Postmates, and the restaurant reservation company OpenTable.  And there are some unique aspects of the marketplace economy that can mean the difference between success and failure.

In research shared with Business Insider, Stripe looked at hundreds of these marketplaces running on its API over a two year period. It samples a span of companies of various ages and sizes, across different industries and geographic locations. 

These are the three key trends Stripe saw in marketplaces around the world.

1. Marketplaces, no matter how big or small, experience a sharp revenue growth bump

Stripe found that the typical marketplace triples in revenue each year, regardless of its size.

This 300% hypergrowth, according to Stripe Chief Financial Officer Will Gaybrick, has been a long time coming. 

"In many ways this is inevitable because marketplaces are canonical of the internet," Gaybrick told Business Insider. But costs prevented all but the most well funded startups from building secure e-commerce companies for a long time, leaving marketplaces an untapped market, he said. 

Then came services like Amazon Web Services, which dramatically reduced the need for high-cost servers and databases, as well as companies like Stripe, which eliminated the need to build a custom payment system for each and every app out there, Gaybrick added.

"For a long time, it was pretty hard to compete if you were someone trying to enter the online marketplace economy because of infrastructural challenges," Gaybrick said. "I think what you're seeing now, which Stripe has played a not-immaterial role in, is the coming of age of marketplaces."

2. Keeping sellers happy is way more important than buyers

Seller retention is one of the most important factors in growing revenue, Stripe found.

Increasing seller retention by just 1 percentage point predicts 10 times more revenue than when buyer retention increases by 1 percentage point, according to the research. 

This means that one of the most high-impact moves a platform can make is to add seller benefits, Gaybrick said. 

One example of this is instant payment. Stripe found that 55% of sellers in marketplaces would switch to a competitor just to be able to get paid instantly.

With that in mind, the company built an instant payment feature for Lyft, which enables drivers to get paid for rides as soon as they are completed.

"If you're an Uber driver and you could go to Lyft and get paid faster, that's enough to make that switch." 

3. Being first isn't enough to stay on top

Stripe's research disproved the conventional wisdom that the first to market will own the business.

"Late comers move just as fast as the first movers," Gaybrick said.

Stripe found that while first movers often capture initial market share, that's not enough to maintain their lead unless they make further investments in the platform that keep them on top. 

Stripe thinks this is because marketplaces aren't exclusive, and many of the sellers that provide services on one app also provide services on other competing apps. Buyers can also test out multiple competing apps at no cost to themselves, and make a decision based off of which they like best. 

If you've decided to upgrade or add some appliances to make your home a smart home, you might enjoy the added security you feel by knowing who's at your door, whether there's anyone in your house, or whether any alarms are going off. 

You also might be notified when your partner is about to burn the house down, or when your pet comes into frame.

Smart-home devices are seen as a way to turn our houses into 'homes of the future,' but there are some pretty funny side effects that come with them.

Here are some of the best.

The landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade and subsequent rulings upholding it have granted Americans the right to abortion since 1973, but the reality of that right varies dramatically from state to state.

Since Roe became the law of the land, individual states have found dozens of ways to make it as difficult as possible for patients to actually access the procedure.

From strict regulations on clinics and bans on abortion after a certain number of weeks, to requiring patients to receive counseling and undergo waiting periods, these laws have tested the limits of Roe — with some ending up in federal court.

If President Donald Trump's nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, the Supreme Court will have a solidly conservative majority, causing many abortion rights advocates to fear that such a makeup would overturn Roe altogether.

The more likely scenario, according to legal experts, is for the high court to chip away at abortion rights by ruling in favor of the state-level restrictions that reach their .

These seven charts and maps illustrate what abortion access in America actually looks like today, and what could happen if Roe fell.

Abortion clinics per state, 2014

In the decades since Roe, individual states have enacted a slew of restrictions to make it as difficult as possible for abortion clinics to operate.

Targeted Restrictions on Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws, impose very specific regulations on clinics. Oftentimes, these restrictions are so expensive that the costs of implementing them cause many clinics to close down altogether.

These include requirements on the width of corridors, the size and equipment of procedure rooms, and mandating that clinics have admission privileges at local hospitals, even though less than 0.5% of abortions result in complications.

Research has tracked the number of abortion clinics dropping after states have passed TRAP laws. Five states now have just one remaining abortion clinic.

Percentage of counties without a known clinic, 2014

The Supreme Court struck down one of the most extreme TRAP laws, Texas' HB2, in a 5-3 vote in 2016. But despite that, over 20 states still have such laws on their books.

A closer look at the county level shows stark disparities in abortion access across the country. There are now 16 states where 95% of counties do not have an abortion clinic.

By causing clinics to close down, TRAP laws have the consequence of making patients further and further to get to a clinic, especially in states that require patients to make multiple trips to the clinic and undergo a 24-to-72 hour "waiting periods."

According to a 2017 study from the Guttmacher Institute, one in 5 American women have to travel at least 43 miles to reach their closest abortion provider. Between 2011 and 2014, the distance required to reach a clinic increased in seven states.

Researchers found notable increases in distance to a clinic in Missouri and Texas, states that had introduced TRAP laws.

"Increased travel distance means increased costs for transport, overnight stay, lost wages from time off work, and childcare," wrote Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California.

She continued: "For a woman who is economically disadvantaged, having to travel a long distance could put an abortion out of reach, leading her to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term."

• Most so-called 'superfoods' are a gimmick.
• Scientists and nutritionists came up with a list of the real healthiest foods out there.
• Here are the top 25 healthy foods you should add to your diet, according to America's leading public health institute.

Super, shluper. The term "superfood"doesn't actually mean anything, and most of the foods hiding behind such a label aren't all that good for you. But there are dozens of real, nourishing foods that you should be eating more of right now.

Thanks to some of the scientists at America's foremost public health institution, you don't have to search too hard to find them. The folks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked the following items in order of how much nutrition they pack per calorie. Not only do studies suggest that people who eat more of these foods tend to be thinner and live longer than those who rarely or never eat them, they are also linked with a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. So start adding them to your diet.

Cabbage is a good source of calcium, iron, fiber, folate, and vitamins.

Cabbage and its cousin Chinese cabbage are rich in calcium, iron, fiber, folate, and vitamins, and very low in calories — 22 for a cup of the regular variety served raw and just nine for a cup of the Chinese variety served raw.

Cauliflower packs in the fiber and folate.

Cauliflower is rich in fiber and folate, vitamins B6, C, K, and potassium. A cup of chopped, raw cauliflower has just 27 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of protein. Toss some in your next curry.

Kohlrabi is high in vitamins C, B6, and potassium.

Kohlrabi — an off-white veggie you've probably never heard of — is high in fiber, folate, vitamins C and B6, and potassium. A cup of it raw packs just 37 calories but a whopping 5 grams of fiber. Try it baked.

Netflix's catalog just got a whole lot better.

In recent weeks, a slew of A24 films quietly became available on the streaming service. A24, which got off to a small start in 2013 with movies including "Spring Breakers" and "The Spectacular Now," started gaining some momentum in 2015 with the release of the groundbreaking sci-fi thriller "Ex Machina" starring Oscar Isaac, Domnhall Gleeson, and Alicia Vikander. 

Now, A24 boasts a poetic 24 Academy Awards.

Its first came in 2016 with Brie Larson's best actress win for "Room." A year later, it dominated the 2017 ceremony with multiple awards including best picture and best director for "Moonlight." In 2018, Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" was nominated in major categories including best picture, but did not win. While these aren't on Netflix (they're exclusive to Amazon Prime), the A24 films on Netflix show how the company got so good at what its doing in such a short period. 

2018 is still a hot year for A24, with the recent release of the critically acclaimed "Eighth Grade" directed by comedian Bo Burnham. Later this year, it will release "Mid90s," Jonah Hill's directorial debut. 

Here is a list of all 26 A24 movies you can watch on Netflix, including "Spring Breakers" and "Ex Machina," along with their Rotten Tomatoes scores:

• The "Xtreme Eating" list from the Center for Science in the Public Interest ranks unhealthy meals in America.
• Some of the meals on the list for 2018 contain almost four days' worth of the recommended fat content.
• Among the nation's unhealthiest dishes is a 1-1/2-pound pretzel that contains 1,920 calories.

If you've ever wondered what four days' worth of fat content in one meal looks like, you finally have your answer.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has put together a list of the unhealthiest meals in America, known as the "Xtreme Eating" list. These highly calorific, artery-clogging meals make a KFC family bucket look like child's play.

The list is collated by nutrition experts who reviewed menus at 200 restaurant chains in the United States to find the meals heaviest in calories, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the daily recommended intake is 2,000 calories, 20 grams of saturated fat, 2,300 milligrams of sodium, and 50 grams of added sugar.

Unfortunately for the chains on this list, chain restaurants nationwide are now required to list calories on all menus and menu boards.

Here's the list, ranked lowest to highest by calories:

8. BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse: Peanut Butter S'mores Pizookie (1,580 calories)

This extravagant-looking dessert is the least calorific of all but has a massive sugar content at an estimate 135 grams.  

At the base is a triple-chocolate cookie topped with peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, marshmallows, and vanilla ice cream.

7. The Cheesecake Factory: Chicken Parmesan "Pizza Style" (1,870 calories)

This is one of two Cheesecake Factory dishes to make the list. It ranks high in terms of fat, sodium, and calorie content. 

It's made of chicken coated with breadcrumbs, covered with marinara sauce and melted cheese, and topped off with angel-hair pasta in an Alfredo cream sauce. It's the best of all worlds. 

6. AMC Cinemas: Bavarian Legend Soft Pretzel (1,920 calories)

This 1-1/2-pound pretzel is sprinkled with salt and served warm with nacho cheese and mustard.

It's a salt sprinkling that it definitely doesn't need, as the sodium content in one portion is nearly equivalent to four days' worth of the recommended amount.
