Most of us could benefit from a spring cleaning session to free up drawer real estate. MINDD Bra Company recently surveyed more than 100 women to see how many bras they have in their bra drawer. A quarter of respondents estimated there are between 10 and 25 bras in their drawer currently, and almost 45 percent of the respondents said they were wearing three or less of those consistently. Organizing isn’t only a space saver, it can also significantly impact our psyche and well-being....

The Worst Spot for Milk in Your Fridge The worst spot for temperature swings? Your refrigerator door. It’s the warmest spot in your fridge, after all. Just think: Every time you open the fridge door, you’re dragging everything stored there into what’s likely the hottest room in your house. Warmer temperatures and frequent fluctuations can put food at risk of spoiling, especially milk and cream. Although a gallon or half gallon of milk may fit perfectly in the fridge door bins, the warmer temperatures may make the liquid curdle before you can drink it....

Simply put, wispy bangs are piecey, feathered bangs. “Wispy bangs are such a trend right now because they are a low-maintenance take on blunt bangs, which can be more difficult to style and require more frequent salon visits,” explains Nubia Rëzo, a celebrity stylist based in New York City. “Wispy bangs are a great way to spice up your hair and give it more life; their movement is what makes them, well, wispy!...

Buying papayas that are already almost ripe is the ideal scenario, as you can take them home and have them ready to serve after an overnight stay on the counter. But like going to the grocery store for guacamole ingredients and being faced with a tower of rock-hard avocados, sometimes life gets in the way of best-made plans. Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy ripe papaya at home....

The neti pot (also known as a nasal saline irrigation system) is a decongestant technique that dates back centuries, with roots in Ayurvedic medicine. And while it’s become a pretty popular method in recent years thanks to its drug-free nature, sticking a spout inside your nostril might sound unpleasant. But if you can get past the (at first) strange sensation of water going up your nose, allergists say using a neti pot can be a helpful adjunct to medication—both over-the-counter and prescription—to fight seasonal allergy symptoms and drain and break up mucus in the sinuses....

Eager to try the buzzy bakuchiol for myself, I did some research into products and landed upon the Slushy Serum Moisturizer Crush from INN Beauty Project.

And according to intel shared by TUSHY, the makers of a popular bidet attachment, America may finally be ready for the bidet revolution. Sales of Bidets Are Skyrocketing According to TUSHY, sales of bidet attachments have increased tenfold....

Juice is high in sugar and low in fiber. Consider the juicer’s promise of nutrition. You’re feeding carrots, kale, and apples into your machine, right? And aren’t turmeric, ginger, cayenne, and other natural seasonings good for you? Sure, but a juicer extracts liquid from fruit and vegetables, leaving a mash of nutrient-packed solids to be discarded. Regardless of what foods you use, the remaining liquids that collect—the juice—is going to be high in sugar....

According to the FDA, Clostridium botulinum (botulism) has not been found in any products thus far, but the agency is warning consumers not to drink any of the recalled items, even if they don’t look or smell spoiled.

Although vitamin C serums are (rightfully) popular for their ability to do many great things to your skin over time, i.e. reduce the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles and protect against free radicals (like pollution and UV rays), I wanted some instant gratification to make my complexion brighter and better. After hearing a lot of buzz about OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright 15% Vitamin C Serum, I decided to try a sample on a whim....

Is It Difficult to Care for an Orchid? To demystify orchid care, we reached out to Kaylyn Hewitt, the resident florist at The Bouqs Co.

Below, the flower pro shares her guide to caring for orchids....

I think I’ve finally found it in the Alo Yoga Seamless Ribbed Bra.

It’s so comfortable, I’ve fallen asleep wearing it, and it’s quickly dethroned all of my previous favorites. To buy: $58; aloyoga....

Although the exact definition has changed quite a bit over the years, gnomes are said to be nature spirits who live underground, often interacting with humans in either helpful or mischievous ways. However, in Scandinavia, gnomes (known as nisse in Norway or tomte Sweden) are associated with the Christmas season. Much like the American Santa Claus, the julenisse—basically Kris Kringle in gnome form—visits the homes of good children on Christmas Eve....
