We talked to Kenzie Elizabeth, host of the podcast House Guest and founder of home lifestyle brand Friend of Mine, about the interior design sensibilities of young adult men — and what they can do to elevate their space. Spoiler alert: It's not great. Plus:

Take It From a Woman: Your Apartment Is Scaring Us. Here’s How to Rectify That.

From Williamsburg to Philadelphia, comedian Rachel Coster goes where no one would dare: the bedrooms of men in their twenties and thirties. With nearly 175,000 TikTok followers, the account Boy Room (@boyroomshow) investigates the horrors of young, male interior design sensibilities.

I’m not even being facetious. A 31-year-old man named Danny from Philadelphia has adorned his home with dead animals. 32-year-old Jerome from New York City’s Chinatown neighborhood doesn’t own a duvet cover. Henry, a 27-year-old from South Philadelphia, has a cardboard wall that separates his bedroom from the bathroom. Other common traits: Navy blue bed sheets, unmade beds and floors covered in clothes.

Those are just a few interior design faux pas plenty of men fall prey to. For example, did you know that the color of your sheets can tell a lot about your behavior? Or that your girlfriend absolutely loathes your gaming setup? Whether you’re a single guy bringing women back to your apartment or courting someone who frequents your place, you should ensure your space is one women feel comfortable in.

The YouTube Guide to Wellness

Is YouTube an effective place to jumpstart your personal wellness routine? Yes and no. I’d argue that it’s a useful platform for consuming wellness — for finding inspiration and instruction, following a fitness journey or watching some of the world’s fittest pull off amazing achievements.

But you do need to watch with vigilance. Much like the rest of the social media universe, YouTube’s health and fitness library is a minefield of misinformation. People are there to sell you stuff: supplements, recovery products, unsafe diets. Naturally, the category’s cost per mile is on the higher side, with advertisers willing to pay between $7 to $15 per 1,000 views for ads on these videos.

It’s telling that so many wellness accounts saw their impressions skyrocket during the pandemic, while we were stuck at home, sequestered from trainers and teammates, and true health experts had bigger fish to fry. At the time, YouTube proved a useful link to the larger exercising world — offering all manner of follow-along workouts, documentary-quality vlogs and power hours for stress relief.

That premium content still remains, if you know where to look.
