There’s nothing worse than being forced to toss (previously) perfectly good produce, dairy, or meat just because it was stored in an improper way. Here’s exactly how to organize foods inside your fridge so they’ll live their longest and best-tasting life—your wallet and the world as we know it will thank you, too. Once you read these storage tips, be sure to read our comprehensive guide to how long you can store every type of food next....

To create a bed from recycled materials, check your local thrift store (or the back of your closet) and gather old jeans or denim shirts. This is a great way to use denim clothing that might never be worn again—clothing with rips, holes, or stains—and, since you’ll be cutting the fabric into smaller strips, you can cut around the holes or stains.

Washing strawberries ensures you and your family don’t consume any unnecessary grime, bugs, or chemicals (because no one wants a contaminated strawberry shortcake). So before you take out the produce-friendly soap and brush, read our simple, time-saving method. Preparation First and foremost, don’t wash your strawberries until you’re ready to cook with or eat them. Strawberries have a sponge-like quality that causes them to suck up as much moisture as possible....

You can only play Wordle once per day, and everyone gets the same puzzle to solve each day, which makes it a fun and friendly competition you can have with your friends and coworkers. (And creates a lot of debate as to best strategies you should use to win.) Whether you’re a Wordle newbie or a seasoned player, here are a few tried-and-true Wordle strategies to get you started on the road to mastering the game....

As much sense as that made, though, I still felt antsy to upgrade those items —so when Stone + Lain sent me a 16-piece dinnerware set featuring plates, bowls, and mugs a few months ago, it came as a massive relief. Although I wasn’t previously familiar with Stone + Lain, I knew instantly upon seeing the brand’s pieces that we were a match made in heaven. The collection consists of four round dinner plates, four smaller salad plates, four bowls, and four mugs, all of which were designed in a gorgeous green color with a perfectly paired cream rim (the other color options the brand offered me were pink/cream and dark gray/cream, but this was my favorite)....

I ordered mine in oatmeal (it’s like an off-white), but it’s available in 28 (!) colors, ranging from caramel to lime green to striped gray, and I’m considering picking up a few more to add to my closet. What I love most about this sweater is its versatility. To my delight, it looks great when worn fully out (buttoned or unbuttoned), tucked into pants, or half-in, half-out. And unlike some cardigans that come across as too formal to wear with anything but a skirt or dress, this crewneck is casual enough to wear with jeans or even leggings....

At their worst, they’re flat, rubbery, and bland. Instead of risking the latter scenario (and disappointing my hungry roommates), I discovered the ingredient that makes every frittata foolproof. It’s yogurt, and it adds just enough richness and moisture to make the best frittata you’ll ever eat. Try it in this recipe (one of my personal go-to’s for an easy weeknight dinner), or customize it using my formula below. I prefer to use Greek yogurt, but any full-fat plain yogurt will do....

Skin icing is a cryotherapy treatment (also known as cold therapy) in which skin is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes. Gadgets like facial globes and ice rollers stored in a skincare fridge are popular, with experts like facialist Melanie Grant (who counts Victoria Beckham amongst her A-list clientele) sharing icy skincare tools and routines. But the most basic form of cryotherapy is smearing ice cubes on the face, an easy and practically free treatment that can be done right at home....

Going back to its origins, quinoa is an ancient grain native to South America. Historical evidence shows that it was domesticated for consumption by the people of Bolivia and Peru between 3,000 and 5,000 BCE. Quinoa grows into tall, fluffy, cloud-like bundles resembling rock candy and thrives in environments where temperatures don’t exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The main types of quinoa that you’ll see on the market today are white, red, and black varietals, which can be combined to create tri-color or rainbow quinoa blends....

You just need to know how to protect yourself and your rental property.

When Greater Goods designed its Digital Food Scale, it did so with modern aesthetics in mind. The sleek, 7.5 ounce design is thin and light, allowing home cooks to keep the scale out on their counters or tucked inside a drawer. Knowing function is even more important than style, Greater Good programmed the kitchen scale to offer measurements of dry ingredients in ounces and grams and measurements of liquids in fluid ounces and milliliters....

This was the first time I heard my biological father’s voice. As I guided him on Facebook Messenger’s talk-to-text feature, he accidentally pressed the microphone button. I held my breath, pressed the play button, and felt relief. He was a real person. In the late 1980s, my parents used a sperm donor to conceive me and my brother. They had spent five years trying to have children on their own, until a kind doctor on an air force base in Wyoming, where they were stationed, finally broke the news that because of a genetic condition, it was unlikely my dad would be able to help conceive children....

“If you paint an appliance, and the paint leads to physical consequences such as chipping, rust, or in some cases, disfunction, your warranty will not cover the damages,” says Leonard Ang, CEO of iPropertyManagement, an online resource for tenants, landlords, and real estate investors. Household appliances, such as your oven, stove, fridge, and dishwasher, are generally covered under your home warranty and have their own warranties as well.

It’s a very common misconception that all the nutrients are found in the potato skin. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” says Constance Brown-Riggs, MSEd, RD, CDE, CDN. “More than half of the nutrients are found within the potato itself.” According to Brown-Riggs, the only nutrient significantly impacted when the skin is removed is fiber, and it’s only by 1 gram. “A medium (5.3 ounce) russet potato contains 2 grams of fiber with the skin, and 1 gram of fiber without the skin,” she says....

While it’s understandable to want to just let kids be kids and leave the money talk to the adults, avoiding these conversations can have consequences. Keeping kids in the dark on topics around finances can prevent them from making smart money decisions later on—even if they’re coming from a wealthy upbringing. It is estimated that 70 percent of wealthy families will lose their wealth by the second generation, and 90 percent will lose it by the third, according to the Williams Group wealth consultancy....

What makes this dress so great? For one, it’s the type of piece you can throw on and walk out the door in—literally. It has a compression bra built right in, as well as shorts (complete with silicone leg grips to prevent any riding up) so you don’t even have to worry about underwear. The exercise dress even has pockets, so you can keep your phone, credit card, and chapstick tucked securely against your leg rather than in a bag....
