Behind the scenes, we’re a unique group of people with completely different styles, but our interests intersect with makeup and skincare, fashion, home, cooking, and travel. We also live in places that are as varied as the things we love: Some of us live in big cities, others are more quietly tucked away in the suburbs, and we experience every climate thanks to the fact that our residences span throughout different regions of the United States....

The smart light bulb has built-in Bluetooth capabilities, so all you have to do is screw it into your light fixture, turn it on, and pair it with the Philips Hue Bluetooth app on your smartphone—no need to fuss around with your WiFi router. I was a bit worried that my lamp (which I scored from a thrift store for just $3) would be too old to properly work with the smart bulb, but it connected in a cinch....

To buy: $19; amazon.com. “I have spent [hundreds] of dollars on the best designer wear sports bra[s] in the last 15 years. What a waste,” wrote one five-star reviewer who said the $19 Running Girl sports bra is their “favorita bra hands down.” Another shopper offered a similar sentiment when they said, “I have tried 50+ bras, and none of them give this kind of support.” The sports bra also has removable cups that you can use or not, depending on what makes you feel the most supported and comfortable....

To buy: $24; amazon.com. “Great little T-shirt dress! The material is sturdy, opaque, and soft (even more so after one wash and dry cycle),” wrote a five-star reviewer. “I feel like this will go across seasons well with a sweater or jacket over for fall and spring,” added another shopper.

The “psychology of cuteness” might sound made up, but it has roots in research going back to 1943. Here’s what to know about the science of cuteness and why tiny objects—both natural and artificial—have the ability to make us feel happy and comforted. The Origins of Cuteness Psychology Even if you don’t recognize his name, you’re probably familiar with the work of Konrad Lorenz, a German ethnologist who introduced the concept of the baby schema (“Kindchenschema”) in 1943....

There’s a scientific term for what you’re experiencing, and it’s not gluttony. It’s called hedonic hunger, and it’s why you eat so much, even after you’re stuffed. Hedonic hunger is the desire to eat for pleasure, as opposed to consuming the calories your body needs for energy. Why are we so drawn to foods our systems don’t need? Because fatty, buttery, creamy, sweet-and-savory deliciousness has a powerful effect on the brain’s reward system, so our heads nod yes even when our stomachs say no....

Honestly, we’re not surprised. In addition to unending cute dance routines set to songs we pretend we’re young enough to love, the video-sharing social platform has presented us with a wealth of food and home hacks. From whipped Dalgona coffee and mini pancake cereal to genius cleaning tricks galore, TikTok has been gradually stripping away that phrase, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Which brings us to filling an ice cube tray....

Made with 80 percent chinlon (a smoother type of nylon) and 20 percent spandex, the Cupshe Ruffled One-Piece Swimsuit is water and relaxation ready.

But even the best of breakfast bowls can fall a little flat, especially when your fridge isn’t stocked with fresh fruit, herbs, eggs, and other fixings. How to Upgrade a Basic of Oatmeal The solution is simple: Give the raw oats a quick toasting. This will add depth, complexity, and a rich caramel-like flavor to your oats without having to toss in any additional ingredients. The process is easy. Simply heat a skillet (nonstick or stainless steel works) over medium-high heat, toss in your raw oats, and toast them for several minutes....

So, unsurprisingly, Halloween costume searches are trending on Google right now—and the search engine just released data for this year’s most popular queries. While the overall most searched costumes (including witch, pirate, and cowboy) are a bit more timeless, the search trends from the past week better reflect the media and pop culture moments that have captivated audiences in 2022. While Encanto technically released toward the end of 2021, its soundtrack especially has stuck around throughout the past year, and costumes from the movie have been a breakout search worldwide....

Cinnamon rolls As breakfast fans know, cinnamon rolls are nothing new, but the TikTok take on this morning staple transforms those canned cinnamon rolls you find at the grocery store into a drool-worthy dish. By adding a bath of heavy whipping cream, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar to your cinnamon roll dish before baking, the treats, which you ice after they come out of the oven, are ridiculously buttery and moist....

So imagine our surprise when we discovered there is a latest, and possibly greatest, item from Trader Joe’s that’s still slipping by under the radar. Combining two New York delicacies, everything bagels and smoked salmon, Trader Joe’s has just come out with the Everything But the Bagel Seasoned Smoked Salmon. While the famous bagel seasoning blend has been making it possible to get a bagel breakfast without all of the dense carbs for some time now, Trader Joe’s newest creation opens up the Everything Bagel-flavored meal options even more....

The burnout was inevitable. Cooking, as rewarding and enjoyable as it may be, can get tiresome, repetitive, routine when forced upon us (and when everyone is trying to convince you that dried beans, frozen broccoli, and canned tuna are—no, I swear—super delicious). Whether or not you’ve been ordering takeout on occasion, it’s simply more challenging to maintain diversity of flavor and fresh, exotic new food groups in our meals when under quarantine....
