Appliance Garage Cabinets Are Back With A Sophisticated Twist

An appliance garage cabinet can be any space that tucks countertop appliances—think microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, and the like—out of sight. They often sit on countertops, as an extension of upper cabinets but can also be part of a floor-to-ceiling cabinetry installation or a pantry. Morley von Sternberg/ArcaidImage/Getty Images Calling appliance garages a trend might be generous—they’re more of a design or storage tool, like kitchen islands, whereas farmhouse kitchen décor could rightfully be called a trend....

Backward Budgeting Make A Money Plan You Can Stick To

But budgeting can be easier said than done. It can be hard to figure out how to get started, and even harder to stay on track. Maybe you’ve remembered to budget for your kids’ sports registration fees, but not their uniforms—or maybe you’ve budgeted for gas, but not to replace your windshield’s glass when it cracks. That’s where backward budgeting comes in. It’s a technique that economists say is the best way to make a realistic budget....

Can Antibacterial Clothing Protect Against Covid 19 And Other Illnesses Or Is It Just Marketing Hype

This past year has been no different. With the dawn of the coronavirus pandemic came a major switch in our wardrobe. High heels were replaced with comfortable slippers, and loungewear replaced workwear. Though we expected to see clothing companies shift over to the production of gloves and face masks, we didn’t anticipate the rise of stylish, germ-fighting clothes. Antibacterial clothing is the newest category that retailers are implementing to appeal to anxious shoppers....

I haven’t made them since mostly because I ate the entire batch, with a little help from my neighbors and toddler....

Does A Dishwasher Save Water? Yes—Even If ItS Not Quite Full

In terms of water and energy usage, dishwashers are much more efficient than washing dishes by hand. According to a recent study by detergent brand Cascade, it takes the average person about 15 seconds to handwash a dish. During that time, the sink uses half a gallon of water (a typical faucet spouts four gallons of water every two minutes). By comparison, an Energy Star-certified dishwasher uses less than four gallons per cycle, which means running a load with as few as eight dishes can actually save water....
