What does "veteranas and rucas" mean? And where does the term "chola" come from?
"I can only describe my Instagram name. A lot of people have different definitions for chola and cholo so I'll just describe 'Veteranas' and 'Rucas.' When I started @veteranas_and_rucas, I felt like I was just going to focus on the gang culture, so I named it 'Veteranas,' which means a woman who has put in a lot of work in gang culture and also who has experience in what we call the 'hood life.' 'Rucas' is a slang word that many of us used to call our female friends or girlfriends, just like saying my 'homegirl.'

"The other thing is, 'Veteranas' — the definition is different now because I feel like as women in general, we have our own struggles and our own challenges in the world, and the word has become not just 'putting in work' in gangs. It's also the work that we have done or things that we have experienced, just challenges as women. We're almost just these natural warriors. So I feel like that's what's happening with the word, like you may not be a 'Veterana' in gang culture but in the real world you could be."

Tell us more about why you decided to start this Instagram archive.
"I had two motives. One was to reconnect with people who I lost touch with, because I was living in New York when I started the Instagram account, and the second reason was because every time I went online or did a basic Google search, I was looking for images that were very familiar to me or that I could relate to. Even at the starting point of, what do you look for when you do a Google search? I started [searching] with 'Chicana women L.A.' and there was a recreation of what existed then, but not the original images, like models dressed as cholas. Also, there weren't any [pictures] that were focusing on women or women of color. So I guess it was out of disappointment or out of necessity."

Were you flooded with images when you started? And were people nostalgic or not interested in reliving that?
"It was really hard. I didn't think it was going to be possible, and it just happened really slowly, and then it just blew up out of nowhere...but the majority are really excited to see these photographs resurface."

How old were you in the '90s and what were some of your experiences in party crews?
"I'm 35 now, so I was a teenager, between 12 and 19. I grew up in Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles. I feel like back in those days, you couldn't really escape the gang violence or gang culture. And slowly, I guess through school, I got exposed to the party scene... People I went to school with...their brothers and sisters were part of the scene already so...it's kind of this generation thing going on. Then I became part of a party crew. My sister was from a party crew, my brother was from a party crew. Then I also had cousins who were in gangs."

What's the difference between being in a party crew and being in a gang? They were side by side but different?
"Yeah, the gang culture is something that existed since the '30s. Something that was created in a way to protect the community because the government wasn't doing it. When the rave subculture came, it was all music-driven, fashion-driven, also I guess an alternative to gangs. At the same time, we had warehouse parties.

"We have to remind ourselves: There was so much going on in the '90s. There was a lot of violence, the schools were removing classes that we were really interested in, so in a way, school wasn't really made for us. So we were creating places that felt really safe to us. My Instagram is not just the rave subculture or the chola; it's that both are happening. The reason why I'm talking about both and different types of history is because I feel like in order for one to exist, the other one had to. It's not just a linear history... All these things...inspired the subculture...but it was completely different... The purpose of being in a party crew was to throw parties. So lets say my party crew was Aztec Nation and we had 'clicks' — we were clicked with this other party crew called 'The Good Life,' and then we would throw parties together and invite other party crews."

What are some of the typical style elements, brands, and music that defined party crews?
"So in terms of the party crews or rave scene, the music was mostly house music, techno, and drum and bass... We went through that phase of Jordana, that was a brand [of cosmetics], and burgundy lip liner or just wearing a lot of mousse or hairspray. That's a look that existed outside of cholas. I feel like everyone looked like that, even if you weren't from a gang. But also the ravers, when it first started, it wasn't all colorful — it was just mostly oversized jeans and big T-shirts and Adidas Superstars. We used those or Pumas and...really baggy denim pants, which was different from what the gangsters were wearing. The gangsters liked more creased-up Dickies or [Nike] Cortez [shoes], jersey sweatshirts, and the shaved head. The girls in the rave scene were wearing more of the Selena look, like the crop tops with the decorated bras."

It's interesting because looking through your feed, it's mostly all women. So I thought it was such a specific female-driven subculture. Is that true?
"Well, the subculture was everyone. It was men and women, not just Mexican-Americans or Chicanos... I felt like I wanted to amplify the fact that Chicanos did listen to techno music and house music — that was kind of disregarded. But when you think about the history of house music, at least from what I know...a lot of it came out of the Chicago house scene; it was Frankie Knuckles and voguing. When people think about rave, they automatically think whiteness and drugs and EDM [electronic dance music]."

Also, the women are super feminine but at the same time androgynous. Why was that the look?
"I feel like that was the style back in the day, for many of us. I guess we just used it differently or something. I feel like when we talk about gangs, women were dressing like men. I don't really know... I don't want to represent other people's reasons. For me, I think women just looked really tough and were taken more seriously... It shows almost their true colors, like, don't fuck with me because I'm a woman.I'm still as tough as any guy."

Was the party crew subculture isolated just in Southern California?
"I think so. When you think about the space here, you have more space, you have backyards, you have nice weather. I think it would be completely different if it was somewhere else — in New York, for example. Maybe it would be called something different, I don't really know. And also I think the Mexican community or culture, let's say, in New York, is not as well rooted as it is in L.A. Here, we have generations and generations of Mexican-Americans or Latinos."

When you see the Chicano community represented in pop culture, what do you think?
"A lot of movies piss me off, to be honest with you. When we talk about cholos, I feel like it's been done. People have tried making movies, people have written about it, they existed in institutions. When we talk about party crews, there's nothing we can find out there, anything that's well documented. A lot of people do get upset — people are like, 'I wasn't from a gang; I was in a party crew.' I don't want those two things to mix, because they were different. That's why I feel really sensitive — to make sure it's really clear."

Sofia Vergara
Vergara’s lengthy mane has afforded her hair-care sponsorships, so no doubt her commitment to long locks is deep and real. But doesn’t this voluminous crop offset her jawline nicely?

Jessica Alba
The starlet’s dainty features look even more so with a soft, side-parted ‘do.

Jennifer Lopez
J. Lo has been taking the scissors higher and higher recently— and we decided to help her with those last few inches. She’s wearing that fictitious pixie and not letting it wear her.

Jennifer Aniston
Considering Aniston rarely wears her hair up, I think we can safely say that this ‘do will never occur IRL. But her eyes somehow look bluer and sparklier with this swoopy blonde cut.

Kerry Washington
With this fringed crop Kerry Washington looks even more the part of a Washington insider with the capability of “handling” just about anything.

Selena Gomez
Hands-down our favorite transformation — who knew Gomez was born to rock a pixie?

Blake Lively
Blake Lively’s locks continue to bring in the press accolades, regardless of the fact that they’ve stayed the same length since Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. With this platinum crop, she's giving us major Robin Wright vibes.

Kim Kardashian
This hair chameleon has gone from a platinum bob back to long locks within the span of a week — so we could definitely see a pixie like this one in her future. Maybe even tomorrow.

Gisele
Here’s a person whose mane has a fame of its own, spawning a veritable ombré’d beachy-wave movement for years now. With this sophisticated side-parted style, she continues to be a serious stunner.

Tarte’s Maracuja collection has developed a cult following for good reason — and one of our favorite products of the bunch is the brightening eye cream. The maracuja fruit and vitamin C-enriched formula is firming and brightening. Meaning: It’ll make you look awake with just a few dabs (we suggest dotting it on with your pinky for best results). And it’s so light in consistency, you can apply your concealer right away — if you even feel like you need it, that is.

Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment, $38, available at Macy's.

Laneige is known for its intensely hydrating products, and this blue jar is no exception. Antioxidants help to stimulate collagen production, which helps smooth wrinkles and add a glow. Pop it in your fridge before you apply to give your eyes a cool blast.

Laneige Perfect Renew Firming Eye Cream, $47, available at Target.

Technically, this is marketed to dudes, but we don't discriminate by gender: A good beauty product is a good beauty product. Made with caffeine and vitamin E, it energizes your undereye area and gets rid of puffiness lickety-split. A dab of this followed by a brightening concealer is our secret weapon for looking awake after a long night out.

A top pick for those of us starting to battle the inevitable crow's feet and droopiness that come with a life well-lived, this anti-aging pick from Fresh firms and hydrates thanks to a formula packed with antioxidant-rich black tea and noni juice. It also smells amazing — if you're the kind of person who likes to wrap your hands around a mug of hot tea in the morning, applying this to your lids has the same aromatherapeutic effect.

Remember what we said about how puffiness is caused by excess fluid? Well, if facial massage with your fingers isn't your thing, may we interest you in this genius roller-ball? Simply roll it softly on your undereye area and it will massage in a potent formula of antioxidants, soothing botanicals, and caffeine as it drains that fluid. Bright eyes, here you come.

Another firming wonder, this cream moisturizes, plumps, de-puffs, and protects the delicate eye area. We like this one as a night cream, as it's a little too rich for daytime use unless your skin is super dry.

Okay, this one definitely falls in the splurge category — but, oh, what a splurge it is. One dab of this beauteous gel on our undereyes and we looked like new people — fresher, more awake, glowing, happy people. Thanks to its gel consistency, it also layers phenomenally under concealer. Because, let's be real: An eye cream, no matter how good it is, can only do so much — our undereye circles need the one-two punch of cream and concealer. Czech says this one is great for reapplying midday to get a quick boost. "A really minimal amount of it over...your makeup really works — it makes you look not exhausted." Sign us up for that.

That Dr. Andrew Weil sure knows his stuff. The holistic health guru's line with Origins focuses on using efficacious botanicals to provide noticeable results. This brightening eye cream is no exception: Its formula has extracts of rosa roxburghii, white peony, ume, and magnolia, which help lighten shadows and make eyes look less sunken.

They don't call this Secret de Maquilleurs (loosely translated, that's "makeup artists' secret," for you non-francophones) for nothing. This handy little stick offers a cooling sensation that feels delicious on tired eyes. More importantly, it helps smooth out the contours of the eye and makes your makeup go on (and look) so much better. Add to that a radiance-boosting effect, and it's no wonder makeup artists hoard this beauty in their kits.

We'll be honest with you: We initially tried this eye cream solely because of those little floating green beads in the gel. We are suckers for beads suspended in gel — they just look fun. Thankfully, this stuff works just as good as it looks. Vitamin E and aloe give it its hydrating and brightening power, and our eyes felt silky all day. And, those beads meant we took the time to really massage it in, rather than use our usual haphazard slap-on-and-rub technique.

Like the majority of SkinCeuticals products, this eye cream is all about the antioxidants. Phloretin, vitamin C, and ferulic acid in a potent serum-in-a-gel formula help it penetrate the skin and work to correct signs of photodamage, as well as puffiness and dark circles.

We simply cannot say enough nice things about this firming eye gel from green beauty maven Tammy Fender. It uses elderflower, chamomile, rosehip, and green myrtle to soothe tired eyes, lift, and brighten. We like to mix in a few drops of concealer — it's like eight hours of sleep in a bottle.

This whipped-up eye cream is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and kakadu plum — which all help to fight the signs of eye fatigue. The ultra-moisturizing cream instantly brightens, smooths, and firms the skin while helping to protect from future environmental damage.

Dermadoctor Kakadu C Eye Soufflé, $68, available at Sephora.

One dab of this luxe eye gel and suddenly your gaze is perky, fresh, smooth, and bright. Goodbye, crow's feet. See you never, undereye bags. It's so good that we and our fellow beauty editors can't shut up about it — which probably explains why it's currently sold out. Saks is the exclusive retailer in the U.S., so head to your closest store and hope they have it, or bookmark that link and keep checking back for a 2015 restock. Trust us, it's worth the effort.

A hybrid makeup and skin-care product, this drugstore diamond uses light-diffusing pigments and blurring technology to diminish dark circles and fine lines, while the metal applicator helps smooth out puffiness.

Arcona's cult-classic eye cream has shea butter and hyaluronic acid to provide ultimate hydration, while anti-inflammatory blueberry extract and vitamin E help comfort tired eyes. Apply this before you hit the sheets — it's a little heavy for day — and you'll wake up refreshed and revitalized.

This newbie from Aveda is like a jumpstart for tired eyes. Licorice root and coffee bean extracts help reduce puffiness and dark circles, boosting sleep-deprived skin and helping you look well-rested.

This powerful anti-aging serum from Drunk Elephant uses black-tea ferment and copper peptides to battle signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. The serum helps to support collagen and elastin production and bring back the radiance to your undereyes.

Drunk Elephant Shaba Complex Eye Serum, $85, available at Sephora.

This line, aptly called Anti-Fatigue, cuts straight to the chase and we couldn't love it more for that. The gel-cream is an absolute lifesaver for hungover skin. Made with white lily extract, it hydrates and decongests, revealing smooth, healthy, bright, and bag-free eyes. Which is something we all need after a night of debauchery, no?

Honest Beauty's new eye cream is great for those mornings after you've had a few too many got to bed late. It has ingredients like chamomile and calendula tocalm and soothe the skin, and vitamin C to brighten, but the best part is the cooling metal applicator, which helps to ease puffiness — and feels pretty great, too.

Honest Beauty The Depuffed Eye, $32, available at Ulta.

L’Occitane’s rich, creamy eye gel helps to battle fine lines by using the unique immortelle flower — which never ages. The soft scent and soothing texture feel luxurious on the fragile eye area and help to combat any and all signs of aging.

L’Occitane Divine Eyes, $80, available at L’Occitane.

Philosophy’s Hope in a Tube does double duty — the ultra-moisturizing eye and lip cream helps to minimize fine lines around these areas. So, those pesky little crow’s feet? You can get rid of them the same way you get rid of the annoying lines in the corners of your mouth. The blend of vitamins E and C helps to reduce the appearance of these lines and revitalize the skin.

Philosophy Hope in a Tube Eye & Lip Cream, $38, available at Ulta.

Vi Derm's Revitalizing Eye Cream has a medium-weight, creamy texture, but soaks in as fast as a gel, leaving skin plumped up and moisturized. It packs hyaluronic acid to replenish hydration and a blend of different peptides that help to de-puff, firm, and fight dark circles.

Vi Derm Revitalizing Eye Cream, $50, available at Dermstore.

10. In Living Proof(2008)
This movie has a respectable cast (including Harry Connick, Jr. and Regina King) and a strong social message in its plot about finding a cure for breast cancer. But Bynes disappoints as the girly student lab assistant. Plus, it's a Lifetime movie, so take it with a grain of salt.

9. Easy A(2010)
If these rankings were based on the movies themselves, Easy A would easily sky-rocket to the top three. But Bynes' character in the movie is by far the most unlikeable of her on-screen career. Her portrayal as the snobby, holier-than-thou (literally) headband-wearer is a major departure from her previous roles. It made us miss the old Bynes.

8. Lovewrecked (2005)
This mashup of Six Days Seven Nights and Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! is a cheesy-rom-com-lovers' kryptonite. But if this genre isn't your cup of tea, you'll probably find this flick kind of dry.

7. Sydney White(2007)
This modern take on the tale of Snow White has its funny moments, but the whole Apple-crashing situation is a bit too literal.

6. What I Like About You (2006)
First off, RIP the WB. Second off, the basics of this show are totally unrealistic, starting with Holly Tyler (Bynes) crashing with her older sister Valerie (Jennie Garth) in a ginormous NYC apartment. Plus, most of their sisterly moments are way overdone. But Bynes always does seem to shine in a fight scene.

5. What a Girl Wants (2003)
This was Bynes' first big-girl role. She plays Daphne Reynolds, a young woman unafraid to, yes, get what she wants. That includes flying to England alone to find her father (Colin Firth), putting a few mean girls in their place, and showing her own mother what confidence and girl power is really about. That a way, Manda.

4. Hairspray (2007)
Who knew girl could sing? Bynes' performance as Penny Pingleton is unexpected, impressive, and fun. The romance between Penny and Seaweed J. Stubbs (Elijah Kelley) is also a treat.

3. Big Fat Liar(2002)
Kaylee (Bynes) is the perfect wingwoman for all of her friend Jason's (Frankie Muniz) wild antics. And has there ever been a better prank than when they both sneak into Marty Wolf's (Paul Giamatti) house and mess with his fancy pool water, turning it blue? Roger Ebert, back me up on this: "A lot of the funniest scenes involve Giamatti, who is the target of so many practical jokes by the two kids that his life becomes miserable. The best: They fill his swimming pool with blue dye, so that on the day of his big meeting with the studio chief, he looks like an understudy for the Blue Man Group. "

2.She's the Man(2006)
You already know our feelings about this. The 2006 comedy almost rocked the vote to be No. 1, but we knew we had to stick with the most quintessential Bynes role, ever...

1. The Amanda Show(1999)
From the obsessed Penelope, Amanda's No. 1 fan ("Who are you please? Amanda please?") to the iconic Dancing Lobsters to Moody's Point, this skit show doles out too many one-liners to count. The series ran for three years, giving us the opportunity to watch Bynes grow up before our eyes. The laughs still stand up, almost 17 years later.

Donald Trump suggested that women who have abortions should be "punished."

On Wednesday, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump suggested that women who have sought or had abortions should face "some form of punishment" if the United States outlaws abortion. Trump made the comments during a forum with MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

"You go back to a position like they had where they would perhaps go to illegal places," Trump told Matthews of women seeking abortion. "But you have to ban it...There has to be some form of punishment."
After a swift wave of backlash from both Republicans and Democrats, though, Trump later said that doctors who perform abortions should be punished, not the women seeking them. His backtracking came as major pro-life groups, as well as Planned Parenthood, denounced his original statements.

Trump's competitors from both sides of the aisle also spoke out against his remarks. GOP candidate John Kasich said that "of course women shouldn't be punished," according to The New York Times. Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders each tweeted condemnation of Trump's remarks, as did Republican Ted Cruz.

How The Walking Dead helped stop a discriminatory bill in its tracks.

On Monday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced at a press conference that he will veto a bill which would have allowed discrimination against LGBTQ people on religious grounds.

Deal's announcement came after a number of TV networks, sports leagues, and media companies, including Disney and AMC, which films The Walking Dead in Georgia, condemned the bill. It could have affected the state's economy — a repercussion of so-called "religious freedom" bills felt in some states where they have been passed.

Deal said in his remarks that the bill, HB 757, "contained language that could give rise to state-sanctioned discrimination. I did have problems with that and made my concerns known as did many other individuals and organizations, including some within the faith-based community."

North Carolina is facing its own LGBTQ battle.

After North Carolina passed a law that would allow discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R), Attorney General Roy Cooper III, and W. Louis Bissette Jr., the chairman of the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina. The law limits LGBTQ protections and forces individuals to use public restrooms that match their birth-assigned genders. It also blocks workers from suing their employers over discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation, and other factors.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced this week that he is banning all state travel to North Carolina in response to the law. Seattle and San Francisco have adopted similar bans. Some politicians in North Carolina don't support the measure, either — Roy Cooper, the state's attorney general, said that he won’t defend the law in federal court, calling it a "national embarrassment."

Donald Trump's campaign manager was charged with battery.

On Tuesday, Florida police charged Corey Lewandowski, GOP front-runner Donald Trump's campaign manager, with simple battery. A video from a Trump campaign event on March 8 appears to show Lewandowski grabbing the arm of Michelle Fields, a reporter for Breitbart.

Fields had tweeted photos of bruises on her arm after the event and she resigned from Breitbart following the incident, saying the conservative news organization hadn't stood by her after the incident. Trump tweeted in support and defense of Lewandowski, who is scheduled to appear in court on May 4. The presidential candidate also claimed that Fields' pen may have been "a little bomb,"BuzzFeed News reports. Meanwhile, Fields tweeted that Trump should "just stop lying."

Trump's lawyers have said Lewandowski will plead not guilty in May, according to a statement obtained by BuzzFeed News.

Pakistan reels from Sunday's deadly suicide bombing.

After a suicide bombing in Lahore killed at least 70 people on Sunday, officials in Pakistan vowed to root out terrorists and prosecute those responsible for the attack. Dozens of children were killed in the assault on a public park. Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, a faction of the Taliban in Pakistan that has declared loyalty to the Islamic State armed group, claimed responsibility for the bombing, which was the deadliest attack in the country since 2014, according to Reuters.

Caption: Following the attacks, families in Pakistan gathered to mourn those lost on Sunday.

The FBI unlocked the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone — without Apple's help.

After Apple refused to help the FBI access the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters, the agency announced this week that it had managed to unlock the device.

In court documents filed Monday, the FBI said it had accessed data on the iPhone owned by Syed Rizwan Farook, who died in a shoot-out with police after he and his wife killed 14 people in the California city of San Bernardino.

Apple had denied the FBI's request on the basis that it could set a negative precedent for customer privacy.

A man hijacked an EgyptAir flight, but his explosives were fake.

This week, Seif Eddin Mustafa hijacked an EgyptAir plane in the name of love.

Mustafa took control of the plane, which was en route from Alexandria to Cairo, reportedly because he wanted to visit his ex-wife and children in Cyprus. He threatened to blow up the airliner, but it was later revealed that he was wearing a fake suicide belt. The case grew even stranger when a British man allegedly posed for a photo with Mustafa while still on the plane. The flight was diverted and landed in Cyprus, where Mustafa was arrested after an hours-long standoff.

Mustafa was charged with kidnapping and is in police custody, BuzzFeed News reports. His ex-wife, Marina Paraschou, told The Associated Press that he was "dangerous," and officials described Mustafa as "psychologically unstable."

The Secret Service had to clarify that firearms won't be allowed at the Republican National Convention.

After a Change.org petition to allow open carry at the Republican National Convention gained more than 50,000 signatures, the Secret Service issued an official response this week.

"Title 18 United States Code Sections 3056 and 1752 provides the Secret Service authority to preclude firearms from entering sites visited by our protectees, including those located in open-carry states," Secret Service spokesman Robert K. Hoback said in a statement reported by The Washington Post. "Only authorized law enforcement personnel working in conjunction with the Secret Service for a particular event may carry a firearm inside of the protected site."

The petition is credited to the blog Hyperationalist, and it is unclear whether or not it was started as a joke, as some people have speculated.

The Supreme Court tied on a labor case.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court voted 4-4 in a case concerning whether or not unions for public sector jobs, including teachers and firefighters, can require non-members to pay union fees. Because of the tie, a ruling in favor of the unions by a lower court will stand, a significant victory for organized labor.

The tie represents a larger issue within the Supreme Court. The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's seat is still open. Without a ninth judge, the court is split between more liberal-leaning and conservative-leaning justices. President Barack Obama has nominated Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, but his nomination hasn't yet been confirmed by the Senate.

The Eight Things Keeping 62 Million Girls Out Of School

In the developing world, education is often a luxury for girls and young women. Millions of girls are kept from attending school due to factors like child marriage, violence, and early pregnancies.

Sara Rossi explained the eight main causes of this education crisis on Refinery29 this week— and offers solutions to the problem.

Scientists Proved Unicorns Existed — Really

In a new study published in the American Journal of Applied Sciences, scientists explained that a mammal similar to a unicorn did exist, but it doesn't look like the creature you might be imagining. The 9,000-pound animal more closely resembled a rhinoceros than a horse.

Researchers found a fossilized skull from the Elasmotherium sibiricum, a.k.a. the Siberian unicorn, in Kazakhstan's Pavlodar region. The skull proved that the animal was alive just 29,000 years ago. Previously, scientists thought it had gone extinct 350,000 years ago. Researchers are now investigating how the species survived for so long.

Store Your PB Upside Down
We always like to keep a jar of peanut butter on hand to make a last-minute PB&J, spread on celery sticks, or even eat straight from the jar. But if you use natural peanut butter, there's always a gross layer of oil waiting there every time the jar is opened, and nobody's got time for that in the middle of a busy day. The quick fix? Store your jar upside down, that way the oil will be at the bottom when you flip it back over for a spoonful or two, or three.

Prep In Advance
If you like to snack during the week, don't just pack a main dish for yourself to eat for lunch. Prep baggies filled with different snacks, like pretzels, fruit, and trail mix, on Sunday. Then, simply take what you want on weekday mornings, and you'll never be without a grab-and-go fix when you need it.

Keep A Snack Drawer At Work
If you've got an extra drawer or space at work, turn it into a snack drawer! That way you'll always have something that you actually want to eat if you're in a bind, or running between meetings and need a handful of almonds to tide you over. Plus, you'll save money if you're buying in bulk instead of always running out to grab food during the day or constantly returning to the vending machine.

Pack Yourself A Mason Jar Snack
Use your Mason jars for something other than lunch! You can make yourself a frozen smoothie or a layered fruit and yogurt parfait to bring to work, too. Just layer wisely. Wet ingredients like yogurt at the bottom, nuts or granola as a buffer in the middle, and fruit on top.

You Don't Need A Chip Clip
We've always got an open bag of chips or other bagged snack sitting at our desks that inevitably goes bad because it wasn't closed properly. If we're out of hair ties, our pretzels are probably going to get stale. But, not with this easy folding hack, no rubber bands or chip clips required. Watch this video for the tutorial.

Use Your Freezer
Do you have a freezer at work? Use it! You can easily turn an otherwise boring snack into a healthy sweet treat just by popping it into the freezer. If you brought grapes to work, a couple of hours in the cold will turn them into the ultimate healthy dessert. The same goes for yogurt. Pop your container into the freezer for a few hours, and you'll have froyo on your hands — and be the envy of all your coworkers.

Snack Like A 5-Year-Old
Nostalgiaisn't the only reason we love the snacks of yesteryear. Foods targeted at kids are always extremely convenient and perfect for eating on the go. Plus, they're always individually packaged. Go ahead, stock up on yogurt tubes, carrot and dip containers, and string cheese. Your stomach will thank you later.

The ZumbaRoomba

Zumba Fitness and iRobot joined forces to create an epic cleaning and dancing party. iRobot's Roomba (yes, the incredible vacuum cleaning robot) has an iPhone holder so you can Zumba while you Roomba. Genius. If only this were actually arriving in summer 2016.

Mark Zuckerberg x H&M

H&M is known for its many successful collaborations (Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant, and Sonia Rykiel, to name a few), and now, it's adding a new name to the mix: Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook CEO is launching seven basic grey T-shirts and one pair of basic jeans so that, the H&M campaign says, you have "one less thing to think about in the morning." As Zuckerberg told the company, "I really want to clear my life so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community." Think of this as a new twist on tech x fashion.

Google Cardboard Plastic

There's no doubt that virtual reality is a major tech trend. But this year, Google is on top of the next trend in experiencing the world: actual reality. With Google Cardboard Plastic, you can get a "4D integrated perspective" of the world with "360 degrees spatially accurate sound, 20/20 resolution, and advanced haptics for realistic touch sensations." It's made of polymethyl methacrylate, so the headset is lightweight and waterproof, and unlike other headsets and wearables, it has no batteries, and no wires. "You’ll never miss a thing. Unless you blink," Google's blog post says.

Dial-A-Drama

Have you ever arrived to a show late and felt completely lost because you missed the opening scenes? TodayTix, a (real) app that helps you find the cheapest prices on last-minute theater tickets, is solving that problem with their new service, Dial-A-Drama. Just call the hotline and "you'll get a play by play of every detail on stage," from facial expressions to stage directions. We vote for a movie theater version of Dial-A-Drama, too.

Gmail Mic Drop

If you've ever been stuck on an impossibly long email thread, Gmail's newest feature, Mic Drop, is for you. The new feature "is making it easier to have the last word on any email." Even if people respond to you, you won't see the email.

Unfortunately, this is one joke that has made people who use Gmail for professional communications very angry and, since debuting late last night, Mic Drop has been switched off. Word to the wise: you should only hit the Mic drop button (which was found to the right of the regular "send" button) if you want to prank a friend with a funny Minions' GIF.

Edible CandyShell iPhone Cases

Case maker Speck already carries a line of brightly hued CandyShell iPhone cases, but now they're (fake) releasing edible phone cases. The candy cases boast a soft taffy interior surrounded by a rock candy exterior and come in coconut, fruit punch, and blue raspberry. Phone stickiness aside, this idea is a winner.

Burrit-OH!

Dating site Zoosk is, for one-week only, launching Burrit-OH!, a new dating site that uses a "burrito compatibility framework" to match daters. What exactly is that framework? It all comes down to how you feel about the 32 ingredients that go into a burrito (are you yay or nay to peas in your burrito rice?). The site is only live until April 8, so we recommend logging on immediately. [Ed. Note: This one actually is real for a week! If you find your soul mate based on your burrito compatibility, please let us know.]

SnoopaVision

One surefire way to make YouTube videos better: Watch them with Snoop Dogg. YouTube picked some of its most popular videos (think "Double Rainbow") and filmed Snoop Dogg watching them and providing hilarious commentary. By clicking the SnoopaVision icon on the lower right corner of videos such as "Double Rainbow Song,""Seniors Webcam 101," and "6ft Man in 6ft Giant Water Balloon," you can chill with Snoop in a 360 virtual experience.

WonderPaw

Wonder Workshop is bringing its coding software to the dogs — literally. In an effort to bring more dogs into the tech industry, the company has created the WonderPaw app so that dogs can land prestigious roles at Google, Apple, and even, as the promotional video notes, NASA. We love that now, even yellow labs can breakdown barriers, too.

Google Maps' Funky Town

Google Maps has taken a Saturday Night Fever approach to April 1 by introducing a dancing disco guy. On the Google Maps page in your web browser, click "Visit Funky Town in the Google Maps App." Open the app in your phone and "Explore Nearby" to see all that Funky Town has to offer — along with some pretty incredible dance moves.

Royal Caribbean UK’s Orbiter of the Galaxies

In true Star Wars (er — Virgin Galactic) fashion, Royal Caribbean UK has announced its latest “ship”, Orbiter of the Galaxies. The brand’s first spaceship will orbit in 2030. Onboard, you can expect features such as VOOM, “the fastest internet in space”, and Ripcord by iFly, which will let you float, astronaut-style, in the galaxy. Just guessing, but this will probably cost you more than a standard cruise to the Bahamas.

DeepFoot Technology from Zappos

The frustration of ordering shoes in the wrong size may disappear thanks to DeepFoot Technology, a new heat-activated tool from Zappos. When you step on your keyboard, the device creates a 3D model that’s used to recommend shoe styles and sizes. (If this were real, it could end up being very dangerous for your bank account. And very smelly for your keyboard.)

Pornhub’s Cornhub

Pornhub may have pulled off the most committed prank yet. The landing page of the site has been transformed into Cornhub, a site for corn porn with images for videos such as “Hot Steamy Hardcore Corn” and “Watch As He Butters It Up.” Just don’t try to click one of these videos unless you actually intend to go to the real Pornhub.

Ringly’s Hula-Hooply

On the heels of its smart bracelet release, jewelry x tech company Ringly has announced another wrist wearable: the Hula-Hooply. The bracelet tracks your “hooping” workouts through a corresponding phone app, so that you can record all your spinning activities. If only we had this during elementary school recess. At just $20, this one is a steal.

Zipcar’s Selfie-Driving

Reserving Zipcars just got much easier. Now, all you need to do is take a selfie! The Zipcar app will use your selfie help you find the best car for that day. If your selfie has multiple people, you’ll get paired with a larger car. If you look stressed, you’ll get a comfier car. If you look “super fly”, you’ll get a special car from the brand new “Diddy” line. Sign us up for one of those.

When I first moved to New York City, I wanted to be an actor. I graduated from one of the most prestigious theater conservatories in the country, and I expected to become America’s Next Top Ryan Reynolds — overnight, of course. But when I didn’t immediately land a lead in a Broadway show, I was forced to become the ultimate NYC cliché: the waiter/actor.

When I first took the server job, I was a bitch to my fellow coworkers: I thought I was better than them, and that this whole waiting-tables thing was a cosmic joke that would clear up soon. Unfortunately, the starring role didn’t come. I realized that all my fellow waiters were actually in the same boat — and it was time to start treating my coworkers with the respect they deserved.

Waiting tables was shitty, exhausting, and ultimately humbling, but it helped me kick my entitlement to the curb. Once I dropped the bratty attitude, I suddenly found myself making strides in my acting career — casting directors put me on their short lists, I made friends with directors, and I actually booked some work.

Takeaway: No one likes a brat. No one wants to work with a brat. And I imagine that even Mariah “Queen of Shade” Carey was a sweetheart when she first started out (or at least she pretended to be). Divas are made, not born, so until you’ve sold over 200 million records worldwide, you might want to think about being nice to your coworkers. Being a good person will get you a lot farther in life.

Early in my acting career, I was cast in a summer stock production of Beauty and the Beast in the unenviable role of "dancing meat fork." But though chorus cutlery was hardly a dream job, I did find my dream man that summer: Gaston. Yes, Gaston was handsome, muscular, and gay AF. We began our affair in secret, in an attempt to avoid gossip. But things blew up when Lumiere found us out and told the entire cast. Conflict soon erupted, and our affair quickly fizzled. Workplace hookups create workplace drama, and that drama is even worse when it’s set to the relentless soundtrack of “Be Our Guest.”

“Don’t Sleep With Coworkers” is a “no-no” that may seem like common sense. But sometimes the hotness of a coworker overpowers reason, and the janitor’s closet suddenly seems like a great place for the first chapter of a pregnancy scare. But trust me: It’s not worth the awkward and inevitable work-kitchen encounters. If you do decide to risk it and make the leap from coworkers to co-twerkers, just be prepared to deal with the drama like a grownup if things don’t work out (and that might even mean looking for a new job).

I worked for a few seasons as a host during New York Fashion Week, interviewing celebrities and designers for a prominent makeup brand’s NYFW web content. I was sort of a gay/poor man’s Maria Menounos, infiltrating VIP areas in an attempt to interview unsuspecting Kardashians. One of the first things I learned at NYFW: Never ask permission. If you do, there will be a doorman with a bitchy frown ready to give you a firm “no.” The best way to deal with gatekeepers is to simply ignore them. Walk past the velvet rope with confidence and pretend you’re Whitney Port. At a certain point, acting like you belong translates into actually belonging.

Asking for permission gives someone the opportunity to say “no.” When it comes to making big career moves, sometimes it’s better to just do something rather than wait for someone to tell you that it’s okay to do it. If you’re feeling like your career is DOA, perhaps it’s time to find a DIY solution. Kickstart money for your indie film instead of waiting for an executive to greenlight it, self-publish your book after every editor says no, or launch your Etsy store when Barney’s won’t stock your jewelry. Bottom line: Luck certainly plays into career success, but so does sheer grit. Don’t underestimate how much you can achieve just by trying.

After abandoning the whole actor thing, I found a passion for writing. I wanted to write in television, but had a hard time finding work within the scripted TV world in New York. So, I settled for what I thought was the next best thing: a job as a reality TV producer. I came to hate the brutal working conditions and manipulation that the gig required. Despite this, I remained in that job in for many years. I felt stuck; the longer I stayed, the more I felt defined by a career that I hated. I was afraid to leave, and worried I would be unable to find a new job in a different field. After a few years, though, things became unbearable, and I finally quit. It was the best decision I ever made, and a whole new path unfolded before me.

Be careful not to let a job that you hate turn into a career that crushes your soul. Sometimes we stay in the wrong gig for far too long, only to wake up years later and truly question where we’re going in life. If that happens to you, don’t panic: It's possible to change the course of your professional life. Starting over isn’t easy, but with vision, determination, and courage, it’s possible.

By the time I quit my job as a reality TV producer, I’d worked my way up that ladder pretty far. When I finally left that gig, it was to take a job as a writer’s assistant to a famous novelist/screenwriter. Though I sacrificed the seniority I had earned at my prior job, I gained a position in the field I ultimately wanted to enter. I wanted to be a writer, and I learned a great many things about the industry by being an assistant to a mentor I admired deeply. The job was also part-time, and it allowed me the flexibility to put in work on my own projects. In the end, it was exactly the gig I needed to re-route my career and move toward my ultimate professional goals.

Sometimes, a step backward can actually be a step in the right direction. If you’re rebooting your career, it might mean starting at the bottom of a new field (and you might find yourself at the bottom again and again). But that's okay — especially if that field is your Field of Dreams.

When I was offered a job as an executive at a prominent television network, I put my dreams of becoming a writer on hold. I was initially reluctant, until I saw the number of zeros my yearly salary would contain. My lifestyle shifted significantly, and I began earning a considerable amount of money. But I felt, once again, that I was trapped in a career that wasn’t quite right. I worked with a lot of wonderful people and made some excellent contacts, and I don’t regret taking the gig at all. But soon, I got used to all that money, and I stayed at the job longer than I should have (there might be a pattern in my career path). When I was ultimately let go due to corporate downsizing, it was actually a blessing in disguise. Although I spent liberally during my time at that particular job, I also saved a significant chunk of change. I had no excuse to put off my dream of being a writer once I had a nice amount of savings to fall back on.

Money can’t solve all your problems, but it certainly can solve some of them (and also enable you to shop at Opening Ceremony). Bottom line: Sometimes it’s smart to take a gig just for the money. Money can pay for a delicious dinner, end some credit card debt, and shut up Sallie Mae. But money can become a trap when all that cash comes from a job that’s destroying your spirit. If you’re making a ton of dough, make sure to save some for that rainy day when you bail on your soul-sucking job and go for your dream.

After I was downsized from the television network, it was time for my Career Reboot Round Two. This meant confronting a frightening reality: If I was going to make the leap to become a TV writer, I needed to move from New York to Los Angeles. Starting a new career in a new city was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I knew few people and came with few contacts. But over the course of the year and a half I’ve been here, I’ve signed with a major management company and agency, and I've pushed three separate television projects into development. By moving to L.A., I boarded the scariest professional roller coaster I’ve ever been on. But it’s also the most rewarding.

In my career thus far, I’ve found that most equations for success have an unexpected common denominator: fear. The periods of life in which I’ve made the most professional progress have also been the scariest. But courage doesn’t mean ignoring the fear we feel when taking risks. It means embracing it. In my own career journey, I’ve found that the moments when I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and embraced the struggle are also the moments when I made the most advancement. If you have a big dream, it’s going to mean taking big chances.

In addition to writing for TV, I also write extensively for many online outlets. Being a freelance writer means constantly pitching ideas to publications and often coming up against rejection. It has gotten easier, as I’ve developed relationships with outlets and editors who believe in my work. But starting out was definitely a challenge. My first published essay took considerable time to find a home. I pitched it to approximately five different publications, all of which came back with a firm “no.” Refinery29 was the first “yes” I got. They published that essay, which ultimately went viral. This was my first step toward a career as a freelance writer, and one that only came because of my persistence.

There can be a lot of rejection along the way to success, but I’ve learned to use that rejection as fuel for my ambition. The “nos” will come from every angle. But racking up tons of rejection is actually a good thing — it means you’re really putting yourself out there. All it takes is one “yes,” and that “yes” will likely come after a stream of steady “nos.” That doesn't make that final "yes" any less legitimate.

1. Relax

Remember how I said no one’s ever died from getting too high? It’s true. And you should ruminate on that fact as you take at least three deep breaths, slowly in and slowly out. You’re going to be fine. You just need to be patient and take care of yourself as you ride out your unpleasant — but not dangerous — high.

2. Squeeze A Lemon

One of the few things known to diminish extreme highness is limonene, a terpene that modulates THC’s effects on the brain and is conveniently found in lemons. Should you find yourself too high for your taste, squeeze juice from a fresh lemon, zest in a bit of peel, add as much sugar as necessary, and toss the whole thing down your throat. According to science, it should help.

3. Smell Some Pepper

Another terpene-based maneuver, this one involves beta-caryophyllene, a terpene found in black pepper that’s specifically cited for its ability to combat weed-based paranoia. To activate it, smash or grind a few fresh peppercorns, then get your nose down close and take a big whiff. Sneeze afterward if you must.

4. Be Nice To Yourself

Remind yourself that you’re in no danger and the state you’re in is temporary. Surround yourself with stuff that makes you feel safe. (If this means pajamas in bed, so be it.) Don’t fixate on your inability to think straight or berate yourself over a word you can’t remember — steer yourself toward things that make you feel secure.

5. Take A Cold Shower

This probably won’t feel so much like “being nice to yourself,” but there’s no denying the power of a cold shower to reboot a nervous system.

6. Get Some Fresh Air

Deep breaths are good, and deep breaths of fresh air are better. If you’re not up for taking a walk, open a window.

7. Eat Something

Aim for something substantial and nutritious: yogurt, fresh fruit, microwaved soup, healthy cereal.

8. Drink Water

Not only does it keep you hydrated, it also helps flush your system.

9. Talk To Someone

Have a trusted friend who’s familiar with weed? Sharing your too-high experience with someone who understands can help a ton. Ask for what you need, up to and including, “I need you to call me every 45 minutes to remind me that I’m fine until I tell you to stop.”

10. Rest

Lie down. Close your eyes. Get comfortable. Whether or not you actually doze is immaterial — just restricting your world to your bed or couch and the backs of your eyelids helps. Take deep breaths, following each breath in and each breath out.
