This past week we did a Christmas mug exchange, and it was so much fun that I had to share it with all of you! You know I love gift exchange games, and I just loved the idea of doing it with a mug theme! We did this as a girls night, but it would be perfect for pretty much any holiday or Christmas party for adults (since most kids don’t use mugs that often)....

Choose unseasoned (we like Marukan); the seasoned variety has added sugar and salt, so it’s trickier to cook with. Or forget cooking altogether and pour it into a summery, gingery peach cocktail. According to the Vinegar Institute, a bottle keeps almost indefinitely. But we say bottoms up.

We’ve been in love with canned wine since day one, and the quality of canned cocktails has improved drastically over the years (find our favorites here). But the hottest pop-top drink for summertime chilling is indisputably hard seltzer. “After a monumental summer of 2019, hard seltzer drinks are still wildly popular, but we’re noticing that consumers are itching to step outside their comfort zone by switching things up and experimenting with new brands and flavors,” said Laurentia Romaniuk, Instacart’s senior product manager and grocery trends expert....

Some TikTok-ers took this at-home trend even further—and viral videos have surfaced of people reshaping their teeth with nail files, dousing their mouth with bleach, and even creating their own braces. While we’re all for beauty rituals at home, some of these trends seem rather…questionable, so we turned to professional dentists (you know, with actual doctoral degrees) to see how far you can—or rather should—go with at-home dentistry. “Moving your teeth is much more complicated than people realize,” says Dr....

As one who has been traveling for as long as I have been alive (and this is no exaggeration), designing a home reflective of my wanderlust was of utmost importance to me.

What often gets overlooked is that grilling veggies adds complexity and depth to fresh-grown produce, and is the perfect way to bring out fruit’s natural sweetness. In the spirit of adopting a more plant-based diet (and accommodating our vegetarian and vegan friends at the next summer soiree), we asked six chefs about their favorite non-meat BBQ dishes and how to cook them, so you can try them at home. “Lately, I’ve been really into Middle Eastern spices,” he continued....
