If light therapy is the right option for you, we've got you covered.

Your twenties can be a challenging time when it comes to your finances—you’re young, you’re free, and you’re just starting out in your career, but you’re also likely in debt and still learning about how to successfully plan your spending and saving for next month, let alone ten years down the road (and everything in between).

If you’re new to the hosting game, especially if you’re hosting your first Thanksgiving or another holiday dinner or party, it can be a little scary. You want to have fun, but you also want to make sure everything goes right. And you’re probably worried about following proper etiquette—which can be hard to do when it feels like it’s always changing.

From costumes to candlelight, here’s how to go out (or stay in) this season.

When you’re single—and especially when you live alone—you’re on your own when it comes to getting stuff done around the house. You’ve got no one to split chores with and, unless you’ve got a pet, no one to take care of but yourself (though that doesn’t mean you’ll be lonely, either.) But since you have to take care of all your household responsibilities by yourself, you’re going to have to know how to do them if you don’t already.

Set the mood with these curated soundtracks.

Don't worry, you can still get them on a wine budget.

Good news: If you're looking for a little more contentment in your day-to-day, you've got science on your side. Try incorporating these study-backed habits into your routine.

Thanksgiving is a time when many people head back to their hometowns or travel to see their families and old friends, but that’s not always an option for everyone. Of course, some people enjoy spending the holidays alone. And, some others don’t like celebrating altogether for myriad reasons, but if you do and you find yourself without any plans for Thanksgiving, it can feel like a real challenge and it can get lonely.

Your 20s are usually when you get started out in your career, so it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But if you can swing it, it’s worthwhile to take some time to get away and travel—whether you adventure around the world, explore a different state, or just take a few days to get away with your friends and spend time in nature, there’s a vacation for everyone.

We’re not all #blessed enough to have a home office or a designated space that’s only for working, but if you have the kind of job that lets you work from your apartment, you still need some sort of workspace. Maybe you have a space you can easily transform into a desk on work days, maybe you’re one purchase or DIY project away from having the perfect telecommuting solution, or maybe you need a little help from your neighborhood coffee shop.

The first few days of winter break are a welcome vacation from final exams, but beyond that? It's not always all it's cracked up to be—here's how to get through the bad parts.
