The Australian brand’s soothing mask is like a giant (and much needed) gulp of cool, refreshing water for my face, and it shows nearly immediately. Per the brand’s recommendations, I use the mask on occasion in the mornings — typically if I’m going to be applying makeup and actually leaving my apartment — by gliding it onto my freshly cleansed skin and leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing and continuing on with the rest of the steps in my regimen....
The plug was extremely easy to set up. I’m horrible at reading instructions, but I paired it quickly with my Alexa app. The plug itself is small, so it fits into outlets easily and still allows you to plug other devices into the open outlet. Once everything was installed, I created some routines. The Christmas lights automatically go on each morning at 7 a.m. (I love waking up to a lit tree) and are off by 10 p....
After perusing Ruggable’s selection of colors and sizes, I opted for the Heathered Solid rug in Dove Grey; it was within my budget, relatively well-rated, and went with just about everything in my living room. I input my credit card info with my fingers crossed. I’ll admit, I didn’t have particularly high hopes for this purchase—but I’ve owned my Ruggable for about a year now, and I couldn’t be more thrilled....

Traditional fossil fuel energy, on the other hand, releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, making it one of the primary culprits in global warming, according to The United Nations. In addition, as various studies have shown, the fossil fuel industry has actively sought to spread misinformation about the realities of climate change, making it even more imperative to stop funding such a globally detrimental industry....
Since taking a shower and meditating are both calming, mood-lifting parts of the day, why not use shower hour to get clean and practice mindfulness? With this logic in mind, Shauna Shapiro, PhD, a clinical psychologist, recommends combining these two calming self-care habits. “Four decades of research demonstrate the beneficial effects of meditation practice,” says Shapiro. “From strengthening your immune system, to lengthening telomeres, to improving your sleep.” That’s right, it’s time to start thinking of the shower as luxurious personal time to find your calm before (or after) taking on the day....
Skip Bulky Furniture Open space in tight zones is key for ease of movement. A pedestal-base dining table leaves plenty of legroom for sliding in and out, while bistro chairs (with their slender, armless frames) tuck right under the table.

Is It St. Patty or St. Paddy? People of all nations and heritages use St. Patrick’s Day as an excuse to celebrate, though the holiday is, at its roots, Irish. The name Patrick, abbreviated as Patty in English, hence the popularity of the St. Patty’s Day spelling—but St. Patrick’s Day is, again, Irish, and the name Patrick is an Anglicized one originating from the Gaelic Pádraig. English speakers commonly accept Patrick as a suitable replacement....
‘Brownie’ tulips are double-flowered, meaning they have lots more petals than regular blooms. It’d be easy to mistake these tulips for a type of peony because they’re so much fuller than traditional tulip varieties. That’s part of what makes them so impressive in the garden, but their sunset coloring will also stop you in your tracks. Buy It: 10 Tulip Brownie Bulbs ($12, Dutch Grown) As the blooms open, their colors keep on brightening, and if you stop to inspect a few flowers, you’ll see shades of gold, red, and even dark purple on the outer petals....
Teal + Cream Using teal blue paint colors for both walls and furniture could easily become overwhelming, but the cream curtains break up the space just enough to keep the pop of color without being too vibrant.
