Don’t let labeling or marketing sway you,” says Rachel Nazarian, MD, a board-certified dermatologist. Instead, pay attention to the ingredients. For instance, if your skin is acne-prone or oily, look for products that contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid, according to Loretta Ciraldo, MD, FAAD, a Miami-based dermatologist and founder of Dr....

To find the best electric fireplaces, we tested 23 popular models in our Lab and evaluated each on its setup, heating performance, design, safety, and value. For expert insight, we consulted Ben Kolo, owner of Mr. Electric of Central Iowa, a Neighborly company, as well as Kasee Smith, lead designer at Havenly. “Electric fireplaces are a smart way to supplement heat in individual rooms,” says Kolo.

If you couldn’t tell from my brownie balls, brownie batter dip, and chocolate brownie cake that I’ve posted in the last few months – I kind of love chocolate. Maybe it’s because my oldest son doesn’t like chocolate at all, but lately I’ve just been craving good chocolate cake. Then my sister reminded me about the chocolate lava cakes we made during a cooking class in Italy years ago. That chocolate lava cake was perfect, even with my family (including a handful of high schoolers) making it....
