• I drove a Chevrolet Bolt EV for a weekend at the end of July.
• The version I drove cost $43,905. The base price for the Bolt's standard trim is $37,495.
• It was the first time I'd driven an electric vehicle in real-world conditions for more than an hour.
• I was impressed with the Bolt's ride quality, acceleration, handling, and driver-assistance features.
• But when I tried to charge the vehicle, I realized the limitations of our existing charging infrastructure. 

When General Motors' Chevrolet Bolt EV was released in late 2016, it was billed as the car that would take electric vehicles mainstream.

One of the biggest obstacles to widespread electric-vehicle adoption has been range anxiety. If an electric car can't handle a commute to work and a couple of errands without approaching an empty battery, it's difficult for people to rely on it as an everyday vehicle. With a $37,495 price tag (before a $7,500 tax credit) and a 238-mile range, the Bolt was the first non-luxury electric vehicle to allow for over 200 miles of driving per charge, beating Tesla's Model 3 to market by seven months (though Tesla has yet to deliver the $35,000 base version of the vehicle).

But the Bolt was more than a public-relations stunt. Car reviewers praised the vehicle, with Business Insider's Matthew DeBord calling it a "masterpiece" and Motor Trend naming it the best car of 2017.

I spent a weekend with the Bolt in July — my first experience driving an electric vehicle in real-world conditions for more than an hour — and understood the hype.

But it quickly became clear that range is not the final challenge that electric vehicles face before they can begin to take a significant share of the auto market. (EVs currently account for about 1% of global auto sales.) Because unless you have the ability to charge an EV at your home, apartment, or workplace, using one as your primary vehicle can create significant challenges. And even if you do have frequent, convenient access to a charger, taking a road trip presents serious logistical headaches — particularly if you don't own a Tesla.

Here's what I thought about my first extended trial with an electric vehicle.

I drove a 2018 Chevy Bolt Premier outfitted with a little over $2,000 worth of extra options.

The Premier is the Bolt's premium trim, adding roof rails, heated seats, and several driver-assistance features to the standard version. The Bolt I drove also had fast-charging capability and extra tech features like wireless charging, a premium Bose speaker system, and USB ports in the back seat.

The version I drove cost $43,905. The base price for the Bolt's standard trim is $37,495.

Unlike a Tesla, a premium Bolt doesn't have more range than the base version. Both have an Environmental Protection Agency-tested range of 238 miles.

When I first got in the Bolt, it estimated I would have about 260 miles of range. When I returned the vehicle, I had driven 198 miles and had an estimated 55 miles of range left.

Unlike GM's first fully electric vehicle, the EV-1, the Bolt has an exterior resembling that of a gas-powered car.

The EV-1, introduced in 1996, featured a small roof that gave it a triangle-shaped profile. Additionally, the back wheel wells were covered — an unconventional design choice that heightened the asymmetry between the car's front and back halves.

The Bolt, by contrast, resembles gas-powered subcompact hatchbacks like the Honda Fit and the Ford Fiesta, but with a shorter hood and more pronounced contour lines. It also avoids any unusual exterior design features that would clearly mark it as an electric vehicle.

The diet craze has turned many people off of foods they used to love. From bread to dairy to anything containing fat — the list goes on and on.

And when it comes to breakfast choices, eliminating dairy, bread, and fat can really limit the options. But what if we’re casting aside foods that aren’t actually that bad for us and missing out on the things we really enjoy?

INSIDER spoke with several dietitians and nutritionists to determine what breakfast foods you may be skipping out on that can actually add a lot of nutritional value to your diet.

Pancakes and waffles are full of fiber and micronutrients.

When you’re looking at a menu, do you usually skip over the pancake/waffle section? Many of us do these days because grains get such a bad rap, but they actually can provide many nutrients, according to Yaffi Lvova, RDN, owner ofBaby Bloom Nutrition.

Not only are grains an important source for fiber and micronutrients, such as B vitamins, they can also be a vehicle for increasing fruits by adding fruits into the batter or as a topping, Lvova said.

For added nutrition, you can use whole wheat flour or even add almond meal to your batter, Lvova recommended. And if you’d prefer store-bought, you can find whole grain waffle varieties, which provide a reasonable amount of protein and dietary fiber, according toLauren O’Connor, registered dietitian, and owner of Nutri Savvy Health.

Eggs are one of the cheapest, most nutrient-dense foods available.

The verdict on whether eggs are good or bad seems to go back and forth yearly. First, you could eat the white, but not the yolk and then, it was only good if you ate them both together. But the truth is that eggs are one of the cheapest, highest quality foods available, according to Lvova.

Usually, at less than $0.50 an egg, they are inexpensive, versatile, readily available, and a complete protein, Lvova explained. They are also considered one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world, according to Jenni Bourque and Mirna Sharafeddine, Registered Holistic Nutritionists and Founders ofNaughty Nutrition.

"Eggs provide micronutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin D, selenium, zinc, iron, and copper. Having a couple of eggs, and pairing them with a nice chopped cucumber and tomato salad, is a great way to start your day," Lvova explained.

Salt is needed to keep your metabolism working.

In a healthy diet, there is no need to fear a bit of salt, according to Bourque and Sharafeddine, as it is a necessary component of our nutrition intake.  

Table salt contains iodine, which is an essential mineral. The body needs it to make thyroid hormones, needed for controlling the body's metabolism and other functions, according to O'Connor.

So you can feel free to use a little bit to flavor your food, but do so sparingly, as a little goes a long way, O'Connor added.

• A narcissist can sometimes be difficult to identify, especially if you're romantically involved with one.
• Someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may be selfish, put you down often, and fail to express empathy.
• If you're unsure whether or not you're dating a narcissist, there are specific signs you can look out for, according to experts.
• Here, Dr. Candace V. Love, a clinical psychologist who authored a book about how to stop getting into relationships with narcissists, reveals the key signs you may be dating a narcissist.

It can be easy miss the signs that you're dating a narcissist.

Like in many relationships, when you first start dating a narcissist, you may be lured in by their charm, confidence, and other attractive traits.

However, as you get to know your partner, you may pick up on red flags that were not so easily identifiable at first, like "nice" comments that have not-so-nice undertones, or a lack of empathy after you share something deeply personal.

You may justify a narcissist's behavior by telling yourself that they just had a bad day, and that tomorrow they'll be better. However, the behavior doesn't get better, and you may start to feel worse about yourself in the relationship.

"The main point to keep in mind is that you can't always tell you're dating a narcissist — because they're experts at concealing their true colors until they have you," clinicalpsychologistCandace V. Love told Business Insider. "However, all the clients I have worked with have been able to look back and see all the red flags they missed — they are always there."

According to the Mayo Clinic, those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, belittle those around them, take advantage of others to get what they want, have difficulty regulating emotions and mood, and become irrationally angry when they don’t receive special treatment.

Of course, it's not possible to determine for sure whether someone has NPD without an evaluation by a qualified expert, but here are some often subtle signs that you may be dating a narcissist, according to a clinical psychologist.

1. They're charming … for a while, anyway

No one falls for a narcissist because of the negative qualities that make them a narcissist.

"Many narcissists are charmers in the beginning, and it's too easy to succumb to their charms," Love said.

"In time, the narcissist will show their true colors, but by then, you are usually already in love and will tend to overlook, make excuses, or minimize their bad behaviors," she said.

2. They're quick to anger

Althoughnarcissists or people with NPD can woo you and be charming, they can also turn on a dime, Love said.

"Pay attention to if the person is quick to anger if something doesn't go their way, such as traffic, parking, or reservations," she said. "Plus, look at how they treat others, too. How do they act toward service people — waitstaff, parking attendants, etc.?"

3. They make talk more about themselves than you

Being a good listener is important in relationships. If your partner makes everything about them, be cautious.

"Does the person seem genuinely interested in you when you talk about your life — or are they quick to tell you about theirs?" Love said.

"See if they ask you follow-up questions or monopolize the conversation," she said.

• There isn't a set recipe for how to raise a successful child.
• However, research points to several factors that could help.
• Some of those factors might be totally out of your control: research has shown that being wealthier and a college graduate are two big influencers of your children's success.

Most parents want their kids to stay out of trouble, do well in school, and go on to live successful lives as adults. 

And while there isn't a set recipe for raising successful children, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors that predict success.

Unsurprisingly, much of it comes down to the parents. Keep reading to take a look at what parents of successful kids have in common.

They make their kids do chores

"If kids aren't doing the dishes, it means someone else is doing that for them,"Julie Lythcott-Haims, former dean of freshmen at Stanford University and author of "How to Raise an Adult" said during a TED Talks Live event.

"By making them do chores — taking out the garbage, doing their own laundry — they realize I have to do the work of life in order to be part of life," she previously told Business Insider.

Lythcott-Haims believes kids raised on chores go on to become employees who collaborate well with their coworkers, are more empathetic because they know firsthand what struggling looks like, and are able to take on tasks independently.

They teach their kids social skills

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.

The 20-year study showed that children who could cooperate with their peers, be helpful to others, understand their feelings, and resolve problems on their own were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by age 25 than those with limited social skills.

Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge drinking, and applying for public housing.

"This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.

"From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted."

They have high expectations

Using data from a national survey of 6,600 children born in 2001, University of California at Los Angeles professor Neal Halfon and his colleagues discovered that the expectations parents hold for their kids have a huge effect on attainment.

"Parents who saw college in their child's future seemed to manage their child toward that goal irrespective of their income and other assets," Halfon said.

The finding came out in standardized tests: 57% of the kids who did the worst were expected to attend college by their parents, while 96% of the kids who did the best were expected to go to college.

This falls in line with another psych finding: The Pygmalion effect, which states "that what one person expects of another can come to serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy." In the case of kids, they live up to their parents' expectations.

No one would turn down a chance to have clear, smooth, glowing skin without shelling out for expensive and invasive procedures.

Turns out, there's actually a product that dermatologists agree can deliver clearer skin with minimal cost and effort, all while delivering "anti-aging" properties.

Retinol first popped up in the 1970s as a treatment for acne. Now, retinoids are skin-care essentials that are perfect for every age. Here's everything you need to know about retinoid products.

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A that can work some serious magic on your skin.

Retinol works by encouraging skin cell renewal and increasing collagen production, according toWebMD.

It can diminish the appearance of fine lines and reverse some amount of sun damage. Retinol is also useful for evening out skin tone and preventing future wrinkles from developing.

Dermatologists rave about the benefits of retinol for all ages.

Most dermatologists agree that retinol has the power to make a positive difference to skin.

New Orleans dermatologist Patricia Farrissings the praises of retinoids. "For dermatologists, they're a favorite because there's so much science behind them," she tells WebMD.

Though retinol can improve the appearance of older skin types, it's also a great option for people in their 20s and 30s.

"I recommend retinoids to everybody," Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob tells WebMD. "It'snever too early to start using a retinoid product."

Retinoids can prevent future skin problems like fine lines and uneven tone, and since skindoesn't stop responding over time, younger people have nothing to lose by adding retinol to their skin-care routine.  

"I don't knowanyone over age 25 who could not benefit from a nightly retinol product," dermatologist Brooke Jackson told HuffPost.

It might take three months or more to see results, so be patient.

Though many retinol products claim to work in just a few weeks, you might actually need to wait longer to see a difference in your skin.

"Many over-the-counter formulas claim you'll see results within weeks," professor of dermatology Gary Fisher tells Allure. "But in my experience, ittakes an average of 12 weeks for retinoic acid to produce noticeable changes in the skin. So stick with it for at least that long to see the benefits."

It can be tempting to abandon a skin-care regimen if you're not seeing dramatic changes right away, but the power of retinol comes with consistent use over a prolonged period of time. Don't throw in the towel if you don't develop a dewy glow overnight.

Jennifer Aniston has been asked dozens of times over the years about her beauty secrets, and it's not a big surprise why. Aside from being named the World's Most Beautiful Woman by People magazine in 2016, Aniston consistently has glowing, seemingly flawless skin, and the rest of us are merely trying to figure out how to bottle up that Aniston glow for ourselves.

Though she maintains the importance of drinking a ton of water — she's been a SmartWater spokesperson for more than a decade — she also admits that her diet and exercise routine also play a major part in keeping her skin in great shape, too.

And while she's not afraid to try out trendy (and expensive!) spa treatments, her at-home skin care routine is surprisingly simple. Here are some of the top tips she's shared over the years.

She knows that skin care is of the utmost importance.

Aniston is realistic about the power of good genes when it comes to her skin, telling Yahoo! Beauty in 2014, "My dad is 100% Greek; he turned 81 and he barely has a wrinkle. And neither does my grandmother, who was 95 when she died." 

In 2017, the star told Allure magazine that she hates societal attitudes surrounding aging, sharing, "I really wish we could shift our perspective on [aging] as a negative, because it's happening to every single one of us. We just need to be very good to our skin — just take very good care of it. Keep it healthy, and keep it tended to — as we tend to our cars, as we tend to our appliances, as we tend to everything else we tend to."

And for her, skin care starts from the inside out.

In 2016, she told Vogue magazine about her overall philosophy on beauty, "Emotionally and mentally, I would say it's just about loving yourself and loving what you've been given — to really appreciate it and take care of it. Because this is the only body we're given, we need to be really good and mindful of what we eat and how we take care of our skin — getting a good night's sleep is extremely important, as is hydrating with water, water, water. It's so important to getting that extra glow."

Yes, this woman drinks a ton of water.

Aniston told Shape magazine in 2010 that she drinks 100 ounces of SmartWater every single day, and as the brand's longtime spokesperson, it makes sense that she'd always have her fridge stocked with it. But she doubles down on the importance of hydration for your skin, telling InStyle magazine in 2016 that "water, sleep, and sunscreen" are her "top three anti-aging tips."

• This summer marks 21 years since Princess Diana's tragic death.
• She was a loving mother to Prince William and Prince Harry.
• Here are 12 photos of her with her kids through the years.

Princess Diana gave the best hugs.

"She would just engulf you and squeeze you as tight as possible, and being as short as I was then there was no escape, you were there, and you were there for as long as she wanted to hold you," said Prince Harry in a recent HBO documentary called "Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy."

Prince William and Prince Harry's time with their mother was tragically cut short with her death in a car crash in 1997, but they keep her memory alive through photos, charity work, and bedtime stories about "Granny Diana" for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Here are 12 heartwarming photos of Princess Diana with her kids.

Prince William was born in 1982.

Prince Harry came along two years later.

They vacationed with the Spanish King in Majorca, Spain, in 1987.

Last August, two freshmen at Texas State University went viral after sharing photos of their luxurious dorm room transformation online.

Inspired by their decorating skills, INSIDER reached out to three different companies that help college students design the dorm rooms of their dreams.

Thanks to Dormify, Room 422, and After Five Designs, we rounded up some incredible before-and-after photos of the best dorm room makeovers we've seen.

These 15 transformations prove you can turn even the darkest space into a bright, cozy new home.

1. These two roommates at the University of Alabama gave their dull dorm room a chic makeover.

Room 422 helped Conley Grayson Norris and her roommate "simplify the selection process and find bedding that looked great together."

2. These college freshmen transformed their dark dorm room with white bedding and furniture.

The red accent pieces, which add a pop of color and personality, help tie the entire room together.

3. This student in New York City turned her standard dorm room into a bright, cozy space.

One of Dormify's Style Advisors, Lindsay customized this room with some help from the company.

When success is discussed in terms of careers, it's often referring to wealth and influence. But after many interviews with people at the top of a wide range of industries, we've realized that those metrics don't mean much on their own.

We've compiled our favorite answers to the question at the heart of Business Insider's podcast "This Is Success": How do you personally define success?

LinkedIn co-founder and tech investor Reid Hoffman says success takes a mixture of luck and skill

Reid Hoffman:"Some people who are successful like to say, 'It's all skill! It was my capabilities!' And it's like, no, no. 

Like, I was lucky to have been born in the Stanford Hospital, to have gone to Stanford, to know about the network, to participate in it, to make some great friends and connections that kind of helped me along with it. All of that stuff is hugely serendipitous.

On the other hand, you also try to think and act strategic as you could, you try to learn constantly, you work hundred-hour weeks, are constantly kind of trading lessons and information with each other in order to make it happen.

So, the short answer is it's both: massively luck and massively hard work. Sometimes it's more luck than hard work, and sometimes it's more hard work than luck. But every success requires both."

Ellevest founder and CEO Sallie Krawcheck defines success through the impact her work has on others

Sallie Krawcheck:"It's impact. I thought about this a lot. After I left Bank of America I spent better part of a year trying to decide what was important to me. Success is impact. I could have gone back to a big company. I could have had a much bigger office. I could've been more comfortable on a day-to-day basis.

The great thing about what's going on in business today is you can have an impact, maybe even a greater impact at a small company, whereas historically it had to be at a big company. If you have a great idea, you can get it out there for free. For free. You head onto Twitter, head over to Facebook. It doesn't necessarily have to go viral. By being out there with that idea consistently, and if it's a good one, people will listen to it, gravitate towards it, and there are many more press outlets as well so that you can find places that are interested in something that may not have been as interesting for a broad audience. Combine that with being at a startup, you can move so much more quickly, so much more quickly than a big company, all of a sudden I can make the argument you can have a greater impact on people's behavior from a startup than you can from one of the big guys."

'Million Dollar Listing' star and real estate mogul Ryan Serhant stays on track to success by setting goals

Ryan Serhant:"Now, I define success by hitting goals that I set for myself, and it's not about money. It's not about lifestyle, it's not about building a bigger team, or anything. It's that I set goals for myself, and I write them down every year, and if I hit those goals, I have been successful that year. If I don't hit those goals, then I have failed that year. That way, success isn't this big lofty thing that's up there in the clouds, and it's not just like, I want to be a billionaire. Like, that's stupid, right. There's no plan of action that's set there.

There's nothing that drives me crazier than someone who comes to me, says, 'Yo, I'm an entrepreneur, this is what I do, this is what I sell, I sell this, I do this, I'm building this company'. I'm like, OK, what did you do last week? They're like, 'Well, I was in the Hamptons last week, played golf on Sunday, but like Monday through Friday...' No, no, no. If you want to build your own business, you do it seven days a week. I did not take a single day off for three years. And it's easy for me to say now, but really, really hard to do, and it's really hard for a lot of people to do, as well. So, you have to figure out what you really, really want, and stick to it.

The other thing I would say is, you don't have to do it by yourself when you start. That's probably a mistake that I made. I think I would've grown faster, but I started by myself because I didn't have that stick to intuitiveness to real estate. I didn't really know that that's what I wanted to do, it was kind of weird. I didn't see myself as being a real estate broker. I didn't even like real estate brokers. And so, I was doing other things at the same time. If I had maybe worked on someone else's team, if I had maybe worked for another company, if I had maybe learned by watching successful people do what they do instead of just trying by myself to do it, it would've been better."

Of course, every state has iconic local dishes, favorite meals, and even favorite brunch items. But every state also has its own beloved dish to make at home.

The folks over at Porch, a home improvement site, pored over thousands of Instagram posts that used the hashtag #homecooking to parse out every states' favorite home-cooked meal. 

While it makes sense that the people of New Mexico would love their tacos, and that Louisiana natives enjoy chowing down on crawfish, some pairings aren't as clear. You might not think that Pennsylvania has a connection to peanut butter cookies, but you'd be surprised to know that the first mention of a peanut butter cookie recipe came from a cookbook published in Philadelphia.

ALABAMA: Biscuits

Biscuits and the South — specifically Alabama — go hand in hand. Alabama's minor league baseball team is even called the Montgomery Biscuits. In fact, according to Southern Living, "Early Southerners actually considered the biscuit a delicacy."

ALASKA: Salmon

Alaska accounts for "90% of the wild salmon yield" in America, according to Food Republic. It should come as no surprise then, that Alaskans love cooking (and eating) salmon.

ARIZONA: Torta

Torta is a popular Mexican street food. While toppings vary, and can range from avocado to spicy peppers and carnitas, a torta in essence is a soft bun sandwich.

One of the most prevalent types of torta is the torta ahogada, which translates to "drowned sandwich" as it comes submerged in a chili pepper sauce.

It makes sense that Arizona residents would love their tortas, since Arizona has the fourth-highest population of Latino residents in the US.

Infidelity is rampant in prestige TV — where would your favorite drama be without cheating spouses and scandalous affairs?

From soap operas to modern fare, cheating on TV has a long history. Here are the TV characters who didn't abide by the rules of monogamy.

Don Draper of "Mad Men" cheated every time he got the chance.

From the first season, all the way through to the last, Don was incapable of staying faithful to his partners.

"Mad Men" was ostensibly a show about advertising — but it was really a character study of a man with a fake identity who couldn't help but cheat on every woman he was ever with.

Tony Soprano of "The Sopranos" acted like having a "goumada" was his right.

In "The Sopranos," Tony seemingly cheated with no guilt whatsoever. Hiding behind his culture, he seemed to think it would've been weirder for him not to cheat.

Ironically, his wife Carmela decided she'd had enough around the same time that he seemed to be downshifting the infidelity.

Issa cheated on Lawrence in "Insecure," leading to their breakup.

"Insecure" creator Issa Rae was excited to explore the ramifications of a cheating woman.

"The idea of a woman cheating is so bewildering for a lot of men," she told Entertainment Weekly, "like it's a huge mark of betrayal for them in a way that's kind of a double standard."

Equality in a relationship is something that's really important to a lot of couples. And if it's something that's important to you, but that you feel is lacking in your relationship, that's a conversation that you likely need to have with your partner. Knowing how to start that conversation, let alone how to prepare for it and where to take the conversation as you're discussing things, can feel daunting or even impossible.

You don't want to unnecessarily hurt your partner's feelings — they're someone that you quite like, after all — but you still want to make sure that your own feelings are being heard and understood. Navigating the conversation sensitively and kindly and keeping it primarily focused on how you're feeling can help you get your message across without destroying the relationship entirely.

1. Be prepared for the conversation.

Being prepared for your conversation is extremely important. It can be difficult to handle a tough conversation if you haven't thought about how it might go beforehand — you can find yourself blind-sided unnecessarily, which can doom the conversation entirely.

"Ask your partner when would be a good time for you to discuss some concerns you have about your roles in the relationship," Dr. Wyatt Fisher, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in marriage counseling and leads couples retreats, told INSIDER. Make sure that the timing works for both of you and make sure they have a general idea of what the conversation will entail. Think about what you want to say before the conversation starts and give them the opportunity to do so also, if they'd like it.

2. Make sure you know what you need in the relationship.

"Every individual is different and has their own needs in relationships," Julie Williamson, LPC, NCC, RPT, a therapist and owner of Abundant Life Counseling St. Louis, told INSIDER. "It's important that if your partner is or isn't doing seemingly small things for you, that you make it known to them what you need from them in order to give them the chance to respond and make changes accordingly. If their response is one of judging, mocking, blaming, etc., instead of listening without judgment and with openness, they may not be the one for you."

In order to talk to your partner about what you need in the relationship, you need to know what it is that you need in the relationship in the first place. Taking some time to think about things by yourself to determine what it is that you need can give you an idea of how the conversation really should go in order for you to explain to your partner how you're feeling.

3. Tell your partner what you need from them rather than just explaining what they aren't doing.

Telling your partner what they're not doing rather than focusing on what you need is just going to make them get defensive because you're going to come across as being accusatory or blaming.

"I think that it is essential that the person communicate their feelings using the word 'I' instead of 'you,'"Emily Mendez, MS, EdS, a writer and mental health expert, told INSIDER. "Starting the conversation with 'you never cook' will likely just lead to an argument."

There is so much to love about the ‘90s, the food, the music, and yes, even the fashion. In the '90s, the clothes were colorful, hair was crimped, and everyone smelled like Teen Spirit. But alas, some of the most beloved ‘90s brands have since disappeared into the abyss of the forgotten brands.

If you want to go back to a time when one of the most difficult decisions you had to make was whether or not you were crushing harder on Jason Priestley or Luke Perry, check out this list of brands from this glorious decade that will give you some serious ‘90s nostalgia.

Teen Spirit inspired a Nirvana song.

Mennen launched the deodorant designed with teen girls in mind in the late ‘80s. The product’s slogan, "The harder you play, the harder it works," was designed to give young girls the confidence to be as active as the boys.

Sales of Teen Spirit took off with a little help from grunge band Nirvana’s hit song,"Smells Like Teen Spirit," which soared to the top the charts in 1991. But the brand was eventually discontinued when Colgate-Palmolive acquired Mennen, according to InStyle. You can, however, still, by the deodorant renamed as Teen Spirit Stick by Lady Speed Stick.

Reebok Pumps were all the rage.

Reebok first introduced the Pump line of sneakers in 1989, according to FastCompany. A few pumps of the button on the tongue of the shoe would cause the inflatable sneaker to take the wearer to new heights. The Pump got its street cred when NBA player, Dee Brown won the NBA’s 1991 slam dunk contest while wearing a pair.

Although the original sneakers are no longer on the market, Reebok attempted to reintroduce the brand in 2015 with a ZPump Fusion inflatable running shoe.

Cross Colours was revolutionary in streetwear.

The hip-hop inspired brand of streetwear was launched in 1989 with the mission to create "clothing without prejudice."Rappers, athletes, and actors all rocked the colorful line of jeans and tees with pride. The brand’s popularity has waned significantly and it isn’t as widely available as it was in the 90s, but celebrities like Drake, Rihanna, and Zendaya have been recently photographed wearing the classic casual attire.

The Insider Pick:

• Whether you want to improve your swing in golf or baseball, sink your shots in basketball, or consistently hit on target in boxing or soccer, we have a sport-specific tracker for your needs.

Counting steps and burned calories may help 9 to 5ers stay fit but athletes who want to make substantive progress toward being a professional require more advanced metrics. This is exactly where the world of sport-specific activity trackers has begun to elbow its way into the fitness-tracking conversation. Instead of merely amassing data and aggregating it into a companion smartphone app, sport-specific trackers go a step further, often offering in-depth analytics and insight on how to improve your game.

Golfers who want to improve their swing don’t have to enlist in expensive online courses or register for a class taught by a member of the PGA Tour. Instead, a simple attachment can produce a 3D model of their backswing through their follow through, while also offering data pertaining to their clubhead speed, striking distance, and their swing plane. By offering real-time feedback, these trackers and their companion apps can be used anytime, anywhere — during an actual round of golf, over the course of a long conference call, whenever.

Though due in large part to this industry’s infancy, most sport-specific activity trackers are the definition of hit-or-miss. You either get exactly what the tracker says it intends to do or you spend hours fumbling with connectivity issues only to realize it’s not exactly tracking jump shot arc the way you envisioned it to. However, it’s not an entirely bleak selection as a handful of brands have not only developed trustworthy trackers but have set an industry standard.

Here are our top picks for the best sport-specific activity trackers:

• Best for baseball: Blast Baseball
• Best for soccer: Playertek
• Best for golf: Zepp 3D Swing Analyzer
• Best for boxing: Hykso Punch Trackers
• Best for basketball: ShotTracker

Read on in the slides below to check out our top picks.

The best sport tracker for baseball

Why you'll love it: Blast’s Baseball Swing Analyzer has earned the status of being the “official bat sensor tech of the MLB” with its accurate swing tracking and detailed metrics.

As the 2017 Houston Astros were on their way to winning their first World Series championship, a tiny gadget helped their all-world shortstop Carlos Correa become one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball. Known simply as Blast Baseball, that small device just so happens to be one of the most full-featured and comprehensive sport-specific trackers on the market.

For Correa, an already-established superstar talent both at the plate and in the field, its accurate motion-sensing technology helped elevate him to heights previously reserved for some of the game’s all-time greats.

But what does all that motion sensing actually do? On the surface, Blast Baseball is an incredibly accurate swing analyzer that collects data that's used to make hitters stronger and more efficient. What this equates to in practice is improving your bat path angle, time to contact, swing speed, and stance.

Blast does all this via the small attachment. After just sticking it on the end of a bat, the sensor sends swing data to an iOS- or Android-compatible phone, which then creates a batch of data and video highlights for review. Not only does it allow you to view your swing (and how to correct it) in real-time, it also offers feedback by way of video drills and tips from professionals. And it’s all customizable, too as it allows you to create goals to specifically address certain areas of your swing.

While Amazon buyers have raved about Blast Baseball’s impact, perhaps there’s no better example of its benefit than from Correa himself. Not often can a product say it’s not only endorsed by a World Series winner but that it was instrumental in making it happen. There’s no question Blast Baseball is the best sport-specific activity tracker available.   

Pros: Device easily attaches to baseball bat, offers real-time swing analytics, improves hitter strength, customizable goals allow you to change your approach as you see fit, endorsement from World Series MLB player isn’t a gimmick, and video highlights let you see exactly how you swing and how to improve

Cons: Has issues with Android connectivity

The best sport tracker for soccer

Why you'll love it: Playertek’s GPS attachment monitors sprint speed, measures distance covered, and creates a unique heat map so you’ll know how to maximize your time on the pitch.

Like Blast Baseball, Playertek’s innovative soccer wearable touts a respectable endorsement as it’s presently worn by several European soccer clubs, most notably Liverpool of Europe’s Premier League. Though it comes standard with a companion vest, the actual attachment is relatively small. By simply clipping it onto the undergarment, the sensor actively tracks sprint speed, distance covered, and maps when and where on the soccer field you are at any given time.

Once data is collected, the device transmits it to the Playertek companion app for immediate analysis. By compiling roughly 6,750,000 data points per 90-minute soccer match, the amount of available information is staggering. You’ll have access to exactly how you performed during the game or practice, but you will also be able to compare those statistics against professional players, as well.

If going up against Liverpool winger Sadio Mane doesn’t exactly sound like your brand of competition, Playertek also lets you chart performance against your friends or other amateur players around the globe. From leaderboards ranking distance run and top speed, you’ll always have something to strive for as you perfect your on-field performance.

With its seven-hour battery, there won’t be any concern of it dying mid-match or mid-practice. Just clip it on and forget about it, all your fitness data will be waiting for you once that final whistle blows.

Pros: Pro soccer teams use Playertek for practice and games, small GPS tracker hardly feels like it’s there, performance data offers quick insight into fitness trends and where to improve, and it allows you to compare stats to professional players and offers insight on how to increase performance

Cons: Doesn’t offer shot metrics like kick speed or accuracy

The best sport tracker for golf

Why you'll love it: Zepp’s Golf Swing Analyzer gives amateurs and aspiring PGA tour members a 3D rendering of their swing with 360-degrees of analysis and helpful coaching on how to fix issues and improve your swing.

Golf is not an easy sport. Whether you’re just learning or have played the sport for years, there are plenty more bad days on the green than good — even for the pros. Zepp wants to change that with its Golf Swing Analyzer. Zepp Labs hopes to give golfers of any skill level the ability to shave a few shots off each round.

Led by its innovative 3D tracking, the device also offers a full 360-degree review, which lets you see every possible angle of your swing and provides an immediate feedback score in the process. If there’s a slight twinge in your hips during your backswing, you’re able to see exactly how to correct it to straighten your club head or improve head speed.

It even lets you chart your own 3D model against that of a professional golfer, allowing you to compare your form against theirs. Perhaps they transfer the weight on their front leg sooner or keep their arms straighter. Zepp Golf lets you explore every possibility.

If your own analysis isn’t cutting it, the companion application also provides tutorials and training videos hosted by PGA tour golfers, because who wouldn’t want to save a bit of money on expensive lessons?

Since it’s just a small attachment that fits snugly on a golf glove, it won’t feel cumbersome or awkward while playing. After a few holes, you’ll forget it’s even there. It is pricey, but if you can swing it (pun intended), the Zepp Golf 3D Swing Analyzer is worth every penny.

Pros: Produces an accurate 3D replica of your swing, allows you to replay and assess your swing in 360-degrees, tracks club speed, hip rotation, and hand path to show you exactly where to improve, allows swings to be compared to professional golfers, and attaches easily to a golf glove

Cons: Expensive for a small attachment and sometimes has trouble connecting

Wrapping up a TV series after years of storylines is a difficult thing to do, and finales tend to leave viewers divided. Tons of ideas get thrown around when it comes time to end a series, but producers ultimately have to make a decision — they also tend to give themselves options, just in case.

From "Game of Thrones" to "How I Met Your Mother," here are 13 TV shows that have multiple endings whether they're alternate stories or were created to deter spoilers.

There's an alternate "Seinfeld" finale where Jerry and the gang don't go to prison.

"Seinfeld" wrapped up nine seasons of episodes with a two-part finale that was largely hated by fans. The series ended with Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), George (Jason Alexander), and Kramer (Michael Richards) getting arrested and sentenced to a year in jail for failing to help a man who was being car-jacked.

In an alternate ending included in the series' DVD box set, the jury found the character not guilty of criminal indifference, much to disappointment of those who testified against them.

"Sex and the City" creator Darren Star said the finale "betrayed" the point of the show.

After six seasons, "Sex and the City" ended with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker)  and Big (Chris Noth) getting together. The two reunited in Paris after Carrie breaks things off with Russian artist Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov). The series' finale scene reveals Mr. Big's real name is John and he tells Carrie that he's put his home in Napa on the market and he's moving back to New York to be with her.

Series creator Darren Star revealed that he didn't write the final episode and wasn't happy with the way the show ended.

"But I think the show ultimately betrayed what it was about, which was that women don't ultimately find happiness from marriage. Not that they can't. But the show initially was going off script from the romantic comedies that had come before it. That's what had made women so attached," he said in an interview with journalist David Blum.

Two other endings were also filmed and were later included as extras on the series' DVDs. In one version, Carrie returns to New York and asks her friends to be bridesmaids for her wedding to Petrovsky. In another version, Carrie reveals she ended things with both men.

There's an alternate ending to "How I Met Your Mother" that isn't as depressing.

The series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" is one of the most controversial in TV history.

After nine seasons, the identity of the show's titular mother was revealed, but viewers also learned she died six years before Ted (Josh Radnor) began telling his teenage children the story of how they met. The show ends with his children urging him to call Robin (Cobie Smulders) and ask her out.

Fans who hated the ending received a bit of good news, when show co-creator Carter Bay announced that an alternate ending would be included on the DVD.

"If you didn't like the finale, I guess that happens. We tried something and it didn't connect with you. I hope we're still friends," Bays wrote on Twitter. "16 days ago today we were in the HIMYM edit room, trying to decide between two very different endings. We only shot one script, but through edit room magic we had two possible outcomes for the series. We chose the ending we chose and we stand by it. But we loved the other version too."

In the alternate ending, Ted's wife Tracy (Cristin Milioti) is still alive when he's telling his children the story and the show quickly flashes back to all the moments and missteps that eventually led the two to meet on a train platform.

• The unbranded kitchen appliances and tools offered at online retailer ToBox are made by the same manufacturers behind your favorite name brands but are sold at half the price. 
• ToBox passes on the savings of no middlemen, buyers, or importers directly to its customers, who can pick up $3 small kitchen essentials and other affordable cookware.
• It just launched earlier this year but is sure to become a fierce competitor to Amazon as shoppers search for options that give more bang for their buck. 

If you cook at all, you've probably bought more than a few kitchen tools on Amazon. We've personally found that Amazon's large selection of familiar, highly-rated brands and affordable products can help us meal prep and cook more efficiently. 

We're obviously Amazon fans, but it turns out there is actually a world outside of the site. When we hear there are hidden pockets of the internet that offer even better prices for well-made kitchen tools or appliances, we're definitely intrigued. 

ToBox is a new kitchenware site that launched in early 2018 and offers small appliances, bakeware, cutlery, kitchen tools, tableware, and organization products for up to 50% off traditional prices.

By working directly with original design manufacturers (ODMs), which directly control the design and ownership of all products, ToBox is able to let customers stock up on small kitchen essentials like peelers and measuring cup sets for only $3, or buy specialty appliances like multi-use panini presses that look and function like the name brand version but cost 30% less. 

Like Brandless, the online retailer that sells snacks, cooking ingredients, household essentials, and personal care products for $3, ToBox prioritizes value and transparency over branding. I may be extremely brand loyal for certain types of products, but sometimes all I need is a no-frills piece of kitchenware and would rather not waste time comparing five slightly different models of the same thing. A good-looking toaster with just the right features and browning settings will do fine for me. As long as it's durable and does its job well, I'm happy to sacrifice a logo or brand name if it means I don't have to spend as much money.

I tried a few of ToBox's products, including a handy mango slicer, the aforementioned retro-inspired toaster, and a vegetable peeler, to make sure that the company could live up to its promises of quality, and it definitely passed the test. All the appliances and tools were simple and sturdy, and performed their duties as expected. I find it difficult to wax poetic about a vegetable peeler and would probably have the same things to say whether it was $3 or $10, so if I'm going to buy a good one, it might as well be the $3 one from ToBox. 

When I can save a few extra dollars on every kitchen tool I'm just going to toss in my drawer and not think about twice, it means I'll have more to spend on the bigger priority purchases in my life, like a comfortable pair of shoes. If you have a similar attitude towards shopping for your kitchen, ToBox is a quality alternative to big box retailers. It offers free shipping on orders over $19, free 30-day returns, and a 100% lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

If your TouchID is feels sticky or isn't working right, don't take it to a shady shop to get fixed. (That can seriously mess up your iPhone.) Instead, you can use a Q-tip with a little bit of rubbing alcohol for its intended purpose to get your home button working like new.

 There's a lot more information on this Apple Support thread. 

If your iPhone is charging slowly, one problem it could be is that lint is packed into the corners and sides of the Lightning charging port. One thing you can try is using a skinny (non-metal) tool like a toothpick to remove all the crud from it.

This is how much lint was removed from a single iPhone.

If your phone's earpiece sounds like it's too quiet, there's a good chance lint is simply in the way. You can rub a pencil eraser over your speaker's grill to clear out debris.

Apple suggests you use a "brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker," which is certainly more sanitary, but less fun. One person on the iFixit forums helpfully suggests you can put your mouth over it and suck a little for a tool-free fix. It's gross, but it works.
