If I could describe the Halluci slippers in one sentence, I’d say they feel like actual clouds on your feet. Not too hard, not too soft, but just right. The memory foam sole is plush enough to make my feet feel relaxed, but still firm enough that it offers ample support. Plus, the slippers have EVA outsoles (the same rubber-like material typically used on sneakers), so the bottoms are waterproof and anti-slip—perfect for stepping outside and grabbing my delivery orders throughout the day....

To find the best recliners, we researched dozens of options and narrowed down our picks based on both style and technical details. We also considered factors such as the mechanism for reclining and the type of base (like a glider or a rocker). For expert input on the benefits of sitting in a recliner, we spoke to Rosmy Barrios, MD, medical advisor for HealthReporter, and Brynna Connor, MD, a healthcare ambassador for NorthWestPharmacy....

To find the best robot vacuums for carpets, we tested 31 models in our Lab and at home, evaluating them on effectiveness, maneuverability, features, and more. Our tests involved scattering pet and human hair, Cheerios, sand, and more on the floor to see how well each robot vacuum worked on carpets and hard surfaces. We also spoke to three experts—Jennifer Rodriguez, chief hygiene officer at Pro Housekeepers; Kevin Huang, founder and CEO of Ambient Home; and Robert Johnson, marketing director at Coast Appliances—for tips on how to choose a robot vacuum for carpets....

She wore the boots twice. I suspect they just weren’t that comfortable for the uphill walk from her subway stop to her school, or maybe she realized her old pair of Adidas matched more of her outfits, but I was mighty pissed off that her splurge boots were now just taking up floor space in her closet. I felt the same way about the dress she’d worn to one party and never again, and several sweaters that were bulging out of her dresser drawer while she wore the same hoodie to school every day....

Each three-step tutorial features a basic look, but you can swap in darker shadows, add fake lashes, or layer on mascara for a more dramatic and party-ready style. Once you master these, you’ll be set for the holidays—and every day.

Here’s how to perk up your frozen pizza before you pop it into the oven: Transform it into Cacio e Pepe. Top a white pie with finely grated pecorino cheese and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Make pizza A La Vodka. Drizzle a classic cheese pie with jarred vodka sauce and top with shaved Parmesan. Top it with krispy kale. Dress a few handfuls of torn curly kale with olive oil, salt, and pepper and place atop a white pie....

When shopping for value, Consumer Reports recommends comparing costs by the number of square feet per package, factoring in you’ll likely use less sheets with multi-ply rather than single ply. But don’t assume comfort increases with the count; most claims of “ultra-strong” or “extra-soft” are null, as are sizes like “jumbo” or “mega-sized.” Bulk packaging doesn’t always imply a better deal, so study the price-per-roll sticker at supermarkets or whip out your phone calculator to ensure there’s actually a bargain....

The concept behind the magnets is painfully simple: Display the magnet on your dishwasher, and flip the magnet to the “clean” side when the dishes are clean, and the “dirty” side when the dishes are dirty. While you might be tempted to DIY this hack, these magnets come with an adhesive metal plate to keep your magnet secure because apparently, not all dishwashers are magnetic friendly. They’re also made of durable PVC material and a high-gloss polish that won’t damage your dishwasher....

Unlike most silverware holders that lay flat and take up the majority of a drawer, this “genius” find features a unique stacked design. The cutlery holder saves so much space that more than 23,000 have given it a perfect five-star review. Each organizer features five angled compartments that feature cutlery icons, so you know which slot is holding the piece you need. “I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap, it changed my life....

It turns out poor laundry habits can wreak havoc on your clothes, and according to Drew Westervelt, founder of hypoallergenic laundry detergent HEX Performance, the cardinal rule of washing clothes is one that’s regularly broken by even the most adept laundry pros. “Never ever use fabric softener,” he says. “Regular fabric softeners were not made for today’s workout clothes.” The reason for this is because most workout clothes are now made with synthetics, a new type of fabric that’s not well-suited to harsh softeners....

Dutch baby pancakes, with their crispy edges and soft, pancake-like centers, are the perfect blank slate for any number of flavors. Because I love anything given the Cacio e Pepe treatment, I decided to add Pecorino cheese and a lot of black pepper. The result is a five-ingredient dinner ready in just 25 minutes—and kids will not only love how it tastes, but they’ll have fun watching it puff in the oven....

Normally priced at $300, the OKP Life K2 robot vacuum is currently on sale for just $112—a fraction of the price of comparable vacuums. It’s packed with plenty of features that make it stand out, like its four cleaning modes that include a spot-clean setting and an option that focuses on the edges of the room.

Per the 2021 data, the number of Instacart orders containing chicken wings doubled during the week leading up to game day. This translates to 1 in 25 customers purchasing chicken wings prior to kickoff. What’s more? An Instacart survey found that Americans also have strong preferences regarding exactly how their game day wings are prepared. For example, 33 percent of respondents prefer fried wings over baked, which got 23 percent of the vote, while 39 percent of those surveyed enjoy a mix of both....
