“Pumpkin is bursting with health benefits beyond what you might think!” says Maggie Michalczyk, RDN, author of Once Upon a Pumpkin. It comes in at around 50 calories per cup and packs vitamins E, C, and A, as well as potassium and fiber. Pumpkin puree can even double as a butter, oil, and egg replacer when modifying recipes for dietary restrictions. “Simply sub 1/4 cup for one egg in baked goods,” Michalczyk recommends....

My favorite pimple patch to use over the last year has been the top-rated Original Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics. It is a medical-grade hydrocolloid sticker that absorbs pus and fluids from a pimple, according to the brand, and it was developed to treat surfaced pimples and whiteheads. The film also helps people like me who have a habit of picking at their face by covering the wound with a soft shield so you can go about your day (or sleep the night away)....

I became a fan of Milk Makeup after trying out and loving the Kush Fiber Brow Gel and award-winning Kush Volumizing Mascara over the years. Seeing as my combination skin needed a setting spray that was not only durable, but also hydrating, I was drawn to the overflow of good-for-you skincare ingredients. The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, aloe, niacinamide, hemp-derived cannabis seed extract, and moringa seed oil to lock in moisture and protect the skin from free radicals while delivering a glass-like glow....

This only further fueled my love for lightweight alternatives to foundation that felt neither heavy, nor stifling. The only holdover I still had for keeping my last bottle of foundation around was the “oh well, just in case” mentality with which I similarly used to treat that one chipped soup bowl I had lying around my kitchen but never actually touched. But at last, I found the impetus to finally toss my old foundation in the trash: Saie’s Slip Tint Moisturizer, which has truly replaced my need to ever wear foundation again....

While it may sound too good to be true, when parents chime in to second the praise, you know it’s the real deal. “I’ve been embarrassed for years about the bags under my eyes, but with two preschoolers at home, stress, and mild insomnia, I didn’t see a way out,” wrote a commenter with sensitive skin. “This is like a little miracle tube…I’ve gone from looking like there are bruises under my eyes to looking normal again....

“There’s something about smoky glass that feels moody, sultry, and seductive; the veiled transparency creates a sense of intrigue and infuses any decor scheme with a bit of edge,” says DeRose. “The aesthetic is all about refined, retro glamour that still feels timeless.” Interest in smoked glass—also commonly known as smoke glass and smoky glass—is high in all categories, says DeRose, but especially when it comes to tabletop items, like decorative vases and glassware....

“Homeowners in 1926 didn’t have as much stuff as we have today, so the key to this transformation was creating a place for everything while keeping the design true to the home’s pre-clutter era,” Vroom says. When this renovation started in 2019, Vroom was hired to do a modest makeover on the kitchen. But that quickly evolved into a full renovation, simply because this one-time starter home had morphed into the family’s forever address, and they needed it to meet their current needs....

“They wanted a home that looked like adults lived there: warm and inviting, and a combination of their personalities and interests,” AbouZanat says. “This couple has a large collection of record albums, books, clothes, and shoes, so creating and designing extra storage space was essential, too.” The galley kitchen was enclosed in its own corner, and the original parquet floors were in bad shape. The living area and bedroom were spacious, thankfully, and the solitary bathroom had enough square footage for two....

“When it comes to installing freestanding bathtubs, there are two major details that need to be addressed: weight of the tub and the precise stubbing for the rough plumbing,” says Chris Conoan of CJC Construction. “Most tubs come with instructions that need to be meticulously followed. Center drain freestanding tubs receive a blind plumbing connection when the tub is dropped in place, so that alignment needs to be just about perfect....
