A couple of weeks before our Europe trip, I asked people for recommendations on the best travel shoes. I’d heard a ton of great things about Tieks from friends (mostly how cute they are) and wanted to see if they were worth the cost. AKA would they save my feet from the aching pain I normally feel after walking a couple of miles on uneven ground. The response was underwhelming and mixed....

But here’s the thing: It’s difficult enough to understand the soup of ingredients listed on most beauty products, let alone the complicated terms that brands use to describe fragrances. If you struggle with sensitive skin, the presence of fragrance raises a lot of questions. What are fragrances exactly and do they change the effectiveness of the beauty product itself? What does unscented and fragrance-free really mean? And, perhaps most importantly, how can we choose the products that work well with our skin—and still smell good?...

Casual Place Settings Not every get-together requires formal place settings. Instead, opt for something casual when hosting impromptu parties and lunches with friends or family. For casual table settings, the knife and spoon go to the right of the dinner plate; the fork and napkin are placed to the left. The glass goes above the knife. If needed, a soup spoon and a salad fork can be added (placed on respective sides in order of use); a cup and saucer may be set to the right....

Their home, which they share with their two little girls and a cat, was set in a neighborhood that exemplified all the benefits of age. Mature trees lined streets filled with eye-catching historical details, but none of the ones worth saving were anywhere near this kitchen. “It had been redone sometime in the ’80s with little thought to layout and storage,” Rawes notes. “One of its biggest downsides was that it was cut off from the larger living area by a peninsula....

A collection of antiques, flea market finds, and castoffs complete the cottage look. Discarded closet doors appear as wall art and white glassware brings a smooth texture to the weathered wear on the furniture. A white slipcover on the sofa imbues casual cottage style in the room. Painting an old brown coffee table with cerulean aqua paint brought a splash of bold color to an otherwise mellow living room. Editor’s tip: When shopping for secondhand furniture, look at the silhouette and style....

When to Paint the Outside Knowing when to paint a house exterior depends on where you live. Places that have consistently sunny weather and temps have it a little easier. “Avoid painting when the temperature dips below 50 F. If it’s too cold, the paint can have issues adhering and will roll off,” says Noah Winkles, pro painter and owner of New Life Painting. Heat and humidity can also be concerns....

I was fairly open in terms of color and style, but I knew that I needed a spacious organizer that could hold not just earrings (as is the case for many stands), but also my necklaces, rings, and bracelets, plus miscellaneous items like my watch and extra earring backs. I also didn’t want anything that cost a fortune or required a ton of assembly, because despite it being a “present,” our money is shared, and I have the handiness of, well, an extremely non-handy person....

“I designed this project from just a footprint of raw space,” she says. “I wanted it to be both practical and playful, starting with puffer fish wallpaper in deep gray and off-white as the focus.” That puffer fish wallpaper, created by Abnormals Anonymous, was specifically chosen for its statement-making appeal, and set the tone for all other decisions. “Although this paper is quite whimsical, it has an elevated color palette,” she says....
