How Much Does An Air Conditioner Furnace Combo Cost In 2025?

1 week ago | forbes.com | Geraldine Orentas |Samantha Allen

You can expect to pay anywhere between $3,000 to $6,000 for a quality system. In some cases, installation costs may be higher as additional labor might be required by local codes or regulations when installation happens. The amount you pay for a new furnace and AC combo depends on many factors. The size of your home and the climate are the two most significant factors. Other things to consider include your need for ductwork requirements, system type and features.

1 week ago | mysubscriptionaddiction.com | Geraldine Orentas

If this month had a theme, I’d call it “Glow Getter Goals.” It’s giving radiant skin energy with some of the hottest ingredients in K-beauty right now—PDRN (yes, that ingredient), plus glutathione, niacinamide, and willow-BHA. Basically, it’s a box full of glow-boosters for that glass skin fantasy. What more could you ask for? Honestly, this one made my little skincare-loving heart very, very happy. BomiBox is a monthly Korean beauty subscription box.

1 month ago | mysubscriptionaddiction.com | Geraldine Orentas

I got the Green Chef meal box because I honestly wanted to have delicious food at home that looked and tasted like takeout but wasn’t takeout. These meals delivered. Everything is organic, farm-to-table, with sustainably sourced proteins. Here’s how it went: My box arrived perfectly wrapped, and each recipe was packed together in labeled paper bags, making it super easy to keep tabs on everything. The ice packs were still rock solid, so kudos to them for nailing the logistics.

HelloFresh Review: Is It Worth It? Here's My Take

1 month ago | mysubscriptionaddiction.com | Geraldine Orentas

I’m no stranger to meal kits. But as someone who actually enjoys cooking, they’re more of a "sometimes treat" rather than a full-time relationship. However, last week, my life was a mess—work was chaotic, my dog was sick (she's better now, don't worry), and my energy levels were at a solid zero. Grocery shopping? Absolutely not. That’s when I knew it was time to call in some backup: HelloFresh. Here’s my unfiltered take on whether it was actually worth it.
How Green Chef Helped Me Cook New Cuisines with Confidence

1 month ago | mysubscriptionaddiction.com | Geraldine Orentas

I love cooking, and I'm pretty good at it. But there’s a difference between making my go-to pasta dish and attempting a cuisine I’ve never cooked before. The idea of trying an elaborate, exotic recipe is exciting...until I realize I need a dozen spices I don’t own, ingredients I’ve never heard of, and the confidence of a professional chef. And if it all goes south? That’s money, time, and effort wasted on a meal I wouldn’t even serve to my worst enemy.

Okay, let’s get into it – the first Ipsy Icon Box of the year just landed, curated by none other than Gabrielle Union! I’ve always admired her for being such a powerhouse and using her platform to uplift others, so seeing her name on this box got me genuinely excited. I was ready to see if her vibe translated into some must-have beauty picks or just a bunch of hype. If you’re new to this, the Ipsy Icon Box is a $65 quarterly upgrade for Ipsy members.
