The Kindle itself can hold thousands of books all in one 7-inch device. It has 8 GB of storage that will last for years, but if you’re worried about storage, you can simply un-download titles to free up space while keeping the book you paid for. The new generation of Kindle has a 6.8-inch reading display, meaning the borders are really thin. You can adjust the font boldness and size, and choose from reading displays that show where you are in the chapter and book....

Women’s joggers combine many of the attributes you have come to know and love about sweatpants and leggings. Typically, joggers are more similar to sweatpants in weight, but they tend to have a more tapered style, like leggings. The Leggings Depot Joggers check both boxes and so many more, according to the 12,400 shoppers who have left five-star reviews. To buy: $17; amazon.com. “Imagine microfiber—how it’s light and has a smooth texture, and then imagine if microfiber and velvet had a baby....

I had several must-haves on my checklist. First, I wanted an L-frame sectional that could handle being the sole seating source in my relatively small living room. Second, it had to have a clean, mid-century modern look to fit my style, with legs that elevated the sectional off the ground to avoid a bulky look. It also needed to be comfy for tall folks (I’m 5'11" and my husband is 6'6") and hold up to my cat’s zoom sessions....

Types of Daisies When looking for a daisy to grow in your garden, it helps to know its scientific name (genus and species). That’s because “daisy” could mean Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum) or marguerite daisy (Argyranthemum frutescens), but you can see their scientific names are quite different. Similarly, a daisy could mean a number of other popular plants such as painted daisy (Tanacetum coccineum), English daisy (Bellis perennis), gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii), and African daisy (Ostespermum hybrid)....

Languishing can also be described as a “dulling of our emotions,” says Dion Metzger, M.D., a psychiatrist practicing in Atlanta. “It’s not sadness, but a lack of joy,” she says. “It’s a neutral feeling of emptiness.” Even if you’re not familiar with the term, you may be familiar with the feeling—and you’re not alone. In fact, a 2021 survey on mental health found that around 20 percent of Americans are languishing, and this state of “blah” was found to be most common in millennials....

While this practice has become more mainstream in recent years, it’s worthwhile to analyze its true benefits, drawbacks, and effectiveness.

Nova Covington, a certified aromatherapist and the CEO of Goddess Garden, notes that aromatherapy uses plant-based botanicals that are distilled from the plant....

Cook with it Most of us use olive oil as a staple for home cooking but did you know that in many cases, avocado oil might be a better choice? Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, meaning that when it comes to high heat cooking like frying, roasting, and stir frying, avocado oil will protect the health benefits of the oil as well as preventing your fire alarm from sounding off....

Avocado oil is by no means a recent phenomenon, but some people might not know all of its benefits or why it’s such a great item to keep in your pantry. In addition to being nutrient-dense, avocado oil is considered to be a refined oil and has one of the highest smoke points. This means it contains minimal impurities and can reach a temperature of 520 F. In addition to its delicious flavor and texture, avocado oil is high in oleic acid....

Can you design your way to a self-cleaning bathroom? No. (In your dreams, maybe.) But following these design ideas can mean less visible dirt—and less scrubbing every time guests come over. These bathroom tile tips—which can be applied to floor, wall, or bathroom backsplash ideas—came from the design pros at Block, a New York–based company reimagining the bathroom renovation process. With them, you may never have to agonize over how clean the bathroom looks (no matter how clean you know it is) again....

Bell Pepper Nutrition Benefits Bell peppers are good for heart and digestive health It should come as no surprise that bell peppers are another extremely healthy vegetable, whether you’re opting for green, red, yellow, or orange varieties. All bell peppers provide fiber, some iron, and folate to support a healthy gut, healthy cardiovascular system, and proper natural detoxification, says Lauren Minchen, MPH, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant for Freshbit, an AI-driven visual diet diary app....

What Is Black Seed Oil? Black seed oil—technically called nigella sativa oil—is extracted from the seeds of a flowering plant that grows in Southwest Asia, the Middle East, Southern Europe, and Northern Africa, says Kamara Brown, a StyleSeat hairstylist. (FYI, it bears mentioning that black seed oil is also sometimes referred to as black cumin seed oil, black onion seed oil, kalonji oil, and other pseudonyms.) The oil is well-known for its medicinal properties in Eastern culture, says Krupa Koestline, a clean cosmetic chemist and founder of KKT Consultants; it’s been used to treat everything from bronchitis to diarrhea to skin disorders....

The ones who love you not only despite your quirks but because of them. My freshman year I was in a group of classes that had the same 50 people in all of those classes.

The sticker price may be higher on electric vehicles (often about $10,000 more, according to Kelley Blue Book), but the higher cost can be offset in many cases by a tax credit of up to $7,500. And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that electric cars use cheaper power and require less maintenance than their gas-powered counterparts. The new Inflation Reduction Act signed into law on August 16, 2022 updated and enhanced the rebate, to help spur the push toward cleaner fuels....

Pair bright accessories with some seriously chic neutrals. Gray walls, trim, and flooring provide a sophisticated backdrop for a showstopper rug in a bold graphic style. The coordinating orchids and purple pillows repeat the color found in the rug to make the room feel pulled together and intentional. An all-white room is the perfect neutral foundation to make bright colors pop. Consider all the different textures and finishes of white to keep the room from falling flat....

“We expect that this is something you’ll be hearing more about as awareness grows around this particular solution towards plastic reduction,” says Danielle Jezienicki, the director of sustainability at Grove Collaborative, the only plastic neutral online retailer in the world. Plastic neutral refers to a company (or an individual) that recovers and recycles the same amount of plastic it uses. Unlike plastic-free, when a company uses no plastic, a plastic neutral commitment acknowledges that a company uses plastic but also recycles that same amount of plastic....

“Chilling dough prior to baking lends itself to more tender, well-shaped, and slightly stronger flavored cookies,” explains Meredith Tomason, Test Kitchen Manager for Nestle Toll House. “The flavor-enhancing ingredients such as vanilla, salt, spices, and sweeteners all become a bit more concentrated and heightened.” The resting time also gives the butter time to saturate the dry ingredients (which is why some recipes require melted butter), for softer cookies, says pastry chef and author David Lebovitz....
