The room was contained to one corner of her family home’s ground floor, and a peninsula cut the small space in two. “It’s a long room but not too wide, so it was tricky to design a new layout without doing something traditional like an L-shape or a galley,” Jacobs says. “I wanted to use the whole space without making any big structural changes.” That’s because her life is as big as her design plans....

Co-founders Heather Eaton and Jane Dong began the brand as a class project while attending business school at Stanford in 2019. They spent two years perfecting their designs in order to make the world of braless fashion more inclusive. “I was coming off a particularly frustrating commuter summer where I was officially at my wits’ end with my itchy, uncomfortable bra,” Eaton says. “I wear an F cup, but I have a teeny waist, so anything I tried on that flattered my figure gave me way more cleavage than I was comfortable with....
What are pores? Those tiny dots you see on the surface of your skin—a.k.a. pores—are actually the openings of hair follicles. Each one contains a sebaceous gland, which produces your skin’s oils. (Pores are more noticeable on parts of the face, like the forehead and the nose, where the sebaceous glands are bigger.) The size of your pores depends primarily on your genes. Typically, says Jaliman, fair-skinned people have pores on the small side; those with olive or darker skin have larger pores....
An equally strong influence came from farther south—Puerto Rico, where the vibrancy of her heritage links her idea of home with color. “I remember my grandmother weeding in her garden with her red headscarf and her bata [machete],” says Virginia, who continues to draw inspiration from the coral houses and brilliant red flamboyant trees she saw as a kid during summers on the island. “As I got older, it struck me how happy people were with the very limited things they had,” she says....

Squash is typically divided into two categories: summer and winter squash. Summer squash has thin, edible skin with soft seeds, and its flesh is tender with a high water content. It cooks quickly and has a mild flavor, even a buttery texture. The most popular varieties are crookneck, pattypan, and zucchini, although you might see eight-ball squash and zephyr throughout the summer at greenmarkets. Zucchini, both green and yellow, are available year-round at the grocery store, but like all other varieties of summer squash, it’s best from early to late summer....
But as proper protein consumption continues to rise as a nutrition priority, so too does plant-based eating. And with the increased interest in plant-focused diets, like veganism, vegetarianism, flexitarianism, comes a renewed focus on protein—a nutrient primarily available in animal meat and products. How can you up your plant intake without spoiling your required protein intake? Are you getting enough protein every day? What even is enough protein—and what high-protein foods can help you get there?...
How Did We Get Here? “It’s so easy to fall into food ruts,” says Marissa Lippert, a New York-based chef, nutritionist, and founder of AM//PM. “Particularly for working parents who are also trying to homeschool, lunchtime can be such a nemesis. If you’re exhausted or bored with food, you often end up reaching for the same thing out of convenience because you’re too tired to make yet another decision that day....
When I was invited to Disney Social Media Moms Conference back in May, I knew I had to make my own DIY Matching Disney shirts for my family, because well it’s Walt Disney World. And well, I love matching shirts. And making shirts is one of my favorite things to make with Cricut Explore Air. I actually made three different sets of matching shirts, so that we had something to wear every day of the conference....
Whatever scientific—or maybe pseudoscientific—hearsay has been circulating, I know I’m not the only one who’s heard it. But is it true, or just a nice idea? And if it is a myth, is there something else we should all be wearing to prevent melting on the side of the road? To find out if white garments are truly the answer to warding off heat, I did the only reasonable thing I could think of: ask a physicist....
For 17 years, I contributed to a state-sponsored retirement plan; however, according to the rules, I couldn’t draw a monthly pension until I hit age 50 and 20 years of service. But I hadn’t started saving any money until my 40s, and I’d have to work until well after 60 to qualify for an adequate pension. At 48 and divorced, I paid a monthly mortgage and utilities for a house where I lived alone since my son had grown and left home....
I’m kind of a popsicle addict if you hadn’t noticed already by my funfetti popsicles or these blue lemonade popsicles. There’s just something about enjoying a freezing cold popsicle on a hot summer day that is like the epitome of refreshing. Forget a glass of water or even a citrus mocktail, I’ll take a popsicle any day. I’ve passed my love of popsicles onto my son, which so far hasn’t been a good thing because all he wants are those sugar and artificial ones that come in bright colors and have jokes on the sticks....
When I started my blog and wrote my little about me section on my home page, I knew I wanted to include just a few of my favorite things in the description. Chocolate covered cinnamon bears (used to love them, not as much now), my Sanuk shoes (the best travel shoes ever!), and Dr Pepper. I’ve seen other cakes that use soda in them so thought, why not try it with Dr Pepper?...
Is there anything better on a hot day than a glass of ice cold homemade lemonade? Store-bought lemonade is fine but homemade is way better, especially when that homemade lemonade has the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I’ve shared lots of other lemonade recipes already from strawberry lemonade to blueberry lemonade and even the TikTok viral creamy lemonade recipe. But today it’s all about a traditional homemade lemonade with just three ingredients – lemons, water, and sugar....
