Unlike traditional framed mirrors, with a frameless mirror, the mirror glass extends to the edges of the object. Without a border, these mirrors have a clean, minimal look. Many frameless mirrors make a statement with their scale alone—they lend themselves to large format applications, where they can transform a space by visually enlarging it or doubling the impact of architectural design features in a room. Why Frameless Mirrors Are So Popular Though frameless mirrors are often used in modern spaces (their clean lines fit very nicely into modern design), the absence of frames also has a blank slate quality that opens up a world of design possibilities, helping to fuel the popularity of frameless mirrors....

Many purportedly “silk” pillowcases incorporate materials like satin and polyester, but the Silkcase Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is made of 100 percent pure Grade A mulberry silk. While the quality of cotton pillowcases is measured in thread count, the density of silk is measured by momme (the higher the momme, the more silk); at 22-momme, Silkcase’s option is the perfect density for a silk pillowcase—not too light, not too heavy. According to the brand, this pillowcase reduces friction by 85 percent, meaning that it creates a smooth surface that your hair and skin can rest on....

The 4-7-8 breathing technique stems from the ancient yogic tradition of pranayama, which refers to the practice of consciously controlling your breath, and includes many different breathing patterns and techniques. Practiced in Eastern cultures for thousands of years, yoga and pranayama made their way into Western culture in the 1800s, steadily gaining popularity over the following 200 years. Intentional breathing techniques—like slow breathing, deep, belly breathing, and single-nostril breathing—are used to offset an overactive sympathetic nervous system (the stress system), regulate anxiety, and promote a state of deep relaxation....

Homeowners with painted brick houses might have a slightly easier time of it than those with siding, trim, shutter, and front door paint color decisions to make, but picking the right exterior paint colors is not an easy process for anyone. Go too neutral, and your house looks nondescript and boring; go too big, and you’ll have a color disaster on your hands—plus the Home Owners Association breathing down your neck....

That’s right, the sweet and sticky stuff you add to a cup of tea or use to glaze some carrots is considered to be an animal product (and therefore not vegan-friendly or plant-based) because it’s produced by bees. Additionally, honey is actually food for bees, and acts as a primary source of necessary carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants, and natural antibiotics for the buzzing insects. While drizzling some honey on your morning oatmeal or using it to sweeten a smoothie isn’t quite the same as biting into a juicy burger, many plant-based eaters choose to avoid honey because of how it is produced, particularly on commercial bee farms....

And the pressure to just carry on with business as usual—while also adapting to working from home, juggling child care, home-schooling kids, and dealing with all the other stresses of living during a global health crisis—is what has soured many employees’ relationships to work. These compounding pressures and effects of the pandemic have disproportionately impacted women. Not only have more women lost jobs than men during the pandemic, but they’re also putting in extra work at home....

The premise? Skip the simple syrup or sugar for sweetening your lemonade, and stir in sweetened condensed milk instead. The result is a sweet, creamy drink that’s a little more like a piña colada in texture, but with a tang of lemon instead of pineapple.

What are curtain bangs? First, let’s tackle the obvious question people ask. Why are they called curtain bangs? Well, it’s pretty literal: Picture two curtains pulled back on either side of a window or stage. Unlike classic fringe bangs, which lay straight across your forehead and hit at the brow, this style of bang is gently parted in the center, with the pieces being shortest in the middle and gradually getting longer toward the sides as they frame your face, explains stylist John Mouzakis, co-owner of Chicago’s 3rd Coast Salon....

What exactly are refined carbs? “Refined carbs are carbohydrate foods that have been processed to remove natural fibers, bran, germ, and the nutrients in these parts from the grain,” says Lauren Minchen, MPH, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant for Aspire, an AI-driven visual diet diary app. “What’s left is the starch and caloric portion of the grain, with a minimal amount of protein.” Refined carbohydrates generally fall into two categories: refined grains and added sugars....

But while ditching a bra might offer some temporary comfort, you probably haven’t thought about the long-term effects of not wearing a bra. So, what’s the deal? What really happens to your breasts when you stop wearing a bra? Turns out, it’s a little complicated.

First, it’s important to recall quickly what introvert and extrovert tendencies mean. Rather than the common perception of introverts being people who like to spend time alone and extroverts being those who love to be in a crowd, to put it simply, the traits of these two types are understood by what type of behavior recharges you, says Elizabeth Derickson, a therapist with Talkspace. Introverts tend to enjoy and be energized by their time alone and often work alone, while extroverts tend to refresh by being around others and working on teams....

So if you’re feeling stagnant in your career and you’re hoping to level up and make some more money, you may be wondering if further education can get you where you want to be. The answer is multi-faceted, and depends on the individual. In general, however, many career experts agree that formal higher education no longer correlates as directly to greater career advancement. Instead, future-of-work expert Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn’s first chief HR officer and author of Workquake, believes these are the qualifications that outweigh degrees in today’s work environment: learning agility and adaptability....

Don’t believe us? For one, just think about the resurgence of the appliance garage. On the other hand, the wall-to-wall carpeting trend comeback is pretty divisive, which makes sense since carpeting gets dirty fast. Is full-blown carpeting really going to overtake hardwood floors?

Ripping up the carpet and replacing it with clean, bare wood floors—with plenty of area rugs on top—has been a common theme on renovation shows....
