To better understand Tosi’s baking techniques, we asked the Milk Bar founder and owner to divulge her tried-and-true dessert hacks that include potato chips, unicorn morsels, and butter (lots and lots of butter). 1. European-Style Butter Is Best Unsalted, European-style butter is a baking essential for the Milk Bar mastermind. “The butter is cultured before churning, giving it a deeper flavor profile,” Tosi says. “More flavor in equals more flavor out!...

It was fate that, one afternoon, I was rummaging through my good friend Chandler’s medicine cabinet only to stumble upon the one Clinique product I’ve never seen before (my mom is quite a fan of the brand). It was a slim and vibrant orange tube with the words “super energizer” on the side. I couldn’t help myself; anything that advertises energy automatically has my interest. So with his permission I tested out what would become my latest and greatest obsession: an eye treatment that gets rid of puffiness and dark circles all day long....

“We got the beets,” the label reads. “Right here in this jar. And they’re really good.” Typical marketing hyperbole? Not this time. So what makes these “cut beets in vinaigrette” so good? We begin with price. Since these beets were released about four years ago, I have purchased them at Trader Joe’s locations from Washington D.C. to Phoenix, and I’ve never seen a jar priced at above $2.00. The net weight of the jar’s contents is 15....

“Cybersickness occurs when your brain receives messages that you’re moving—for instance, by a flashing screen—when you are, in fact, still,” explains Gillian Isaacs Russell, PhD, a psychotherapist in Boulder, Colo. This is called visual vestibular conflict. One of the most familiar examples of visual vestibular conflict is if you feel sick while trying to read in the car as a passenger. While your eyes are focused on a stationary object, the rest of your body perceives movement (you are technically moving at the speed of the vehicle, even though you’re sitting still in your seat)....

Is It OK to Leave Butter Out? The short answer is yes, you can. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has consistently said that you can store butter on the counter for a few days without it going bad (rejoice, room temperature butter fans!). A study from the FDA even notes that, unlike other dairy products, both butter and margarine have a long history of remaining safe to eat even when they’re stored out of the refrigerator....

What Is Dry Brushing? Dry brushing is essentially physical exfoliation. You brush the skin (of the body or face) with a dry brush, typically before showering or washing. “I think it’s really important to do it right before your shower because you can wash away the dry skin that was sloughed off during brushing,” said Kim. Dry brushing devotees say it’s been around for ages in some European and Asian cultures, but the practice is getting recent buzz because of celebs and social media....

One of my favorite things to do in Walt Disney World, especially if I’m just doing Disney World in a day, is to eat my way around the parks. From the cronuts in Epcot to Dole Whip in Magic Kingdom, I’ve tried pretty much everything there is to try in the parks, unless the ingredient list included onions. I even made a list of the best Disney World food! And the best Disneyland food....

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 10, Etsy is expanding its Uplift Makers Program with the addition of the Indigenous Artisans Collective, which features shops from Indigenous makers affiliated with 10 Indigenous groups across the United States and the First Nations of Canada. This is the fourth community joining the program—following the launches of the Gee’s Bend Quilters, Gullah Basket Weavers, and Afghan Refugees Collective—all in partnership with Nest, a non-profit that supports sustainable growth and inclusion in the global craft market....

While saving 25 percent may not sound like a lot, keep in mind that Everlane rarely hosts sitewide sales on its editor-loved basics. The brand’s seasonal sales hardly ever include top sellers and new arrivals, so this is your chance to finally score a discount on some of the season’s most coveted pieces. You can even grab its grade-A cashmere and Italian leather shoes at a fraction of their typical price....

The white stucco building has a sense of grandeur and formality that Sarah loved as a child but didn’t exactly identify with as an adult. “We wanted the house to reflect our taste,” Sarah says. “We also had a new baby, so we wanted it to feel family-friendly.” Designer Emilie Munroe knew she could reinterpret the house to suit the Rayburns’ style and needs while honoring the architecture that made the house special....

We talked to a few nutrition experts to find out why folate is so great—and what foods you can eat if you want to consume more of it. What Is Folate? Folate—also known as vitamin B9—is a vitamin that plays a key role in many of your body’s core functions. Folate helps your body make red blood cells (which keep your organs and tissues in tip-top shape) and white blood cells (which help your body fight off infections)....

A Spooktacular Halloween Scavenger Hunt All growing up my parents set up fun little scavenger hunts for us where they’d write out silly rhyming clues that would send us from one place to another on our way to the “grand prize.” They did it for Christmas one year all over the neighborhood and all sorts of other times when they wanted the gifts to be a little more special. I thought it would be fun to create this fun Halloween scavenger hunt that you can either play with your kids on Halloween along with some of these Halloween games or play with a bunch of kids at a Halloween party....

One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day is all of the cute punny Valentine’s Day cards. My boys are both big fans of penguins (we even did an excursion last year where we got to hold baby penguins!), so I thought it would be fun to make some cute penguin valentine cards to give out to kids in their class this year! If you have any penguin lovers or animal lovers in your house, you’re going to love these adorable cards with their cute penguin cards!...

My grandma got my boys a subscription to Highlights Magazine for Christmas this year and one of their favorite things in the magazine is the hidden pictures section. They get through them quickly and are always asking for more, so I thought I’d create a St. Patrick’s Day one to put at the end of their St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt this year! This would be really fun to print out along with these St....

The return of the mudroom, or an antechamber between the front door and the house, provides the ideal spot to remove shoes, hang up jackets, and slather on sanitizer before stepping inside. And even for homes that don’t have the luxury of a separate mudroom, there may be an increased focus on creating a clean and organized entryway “drop zone” so we can leave our germs at the door. Note: Just be sure when you’re shopping that the hardware is made of real copper or brass—many options are actually zinc or steel with a painted gold or copper finish....
