7 Common Skincare Tools You’re Using Wrong And how to protect your skin the right way Skincare isn’t only about products. The tools you use and how you use them can quietly harm your skin over time. Below are some common mistakes many people make without realizing it. 1. Dirty Makeup Sponges Using unwashed sponges pushes bacteria deep into your pores.

Foods You Should and Shouldn’t Keep in the Fridge

Foods You Should and Shouldn’t Keep in the Fridge




When it comes to food storage, the fridge isn’t always the best place. While refrigeration keeps many foods fresh and safe, some products actually lose flavor, texture, or nutrients when kept cold.


Foods that should be kept in the fridge


  • Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and butter need constant cold to stay safe and fresh.
  • Meat and fish must always be refrigerated to prevent bacteria growth.
  • Fresh berries such as strawberries or raspberries last longer in a cool environment.
  • Cooked meals should be stored in airtight containers to prevent spoilage.



Foods that shouldn’t be kept in the fridge


  • Tomatoes lose their flavor and become mealy when chilled.
  • Potatoes turn sweet and gritty in cold temperatures—keep them in a cool, dark place instead.
  • Bananas stop ripening in the fridge and their skin darkens quickly.
  • Bread dries out faster when refrigerated.
  • Onions and garlic develop mold faster in humidity—store them in a dry basket.



The trick is simple: not everything cold stays fresh, and not everything warm goes bad. Knowing what belongs in the fridge helps your food last longer and taste better.
