With so many weighted blanket options on the market, it’s inevitable that some rise to the top. The Bearaby weighted blanket is one of the best weighted blankets around, in our opinion, with its cozy knit texture and lack of cumbersome filler. (It’s a weighted blanket that looks more like a decorative chunky knit throw than a weighted blanket—what’s not to love?) The Bearaby weighted blanket has been available in adult weights—15, 20, and 25 pounds—and various materials since its launch, but only now is Bearaby venturing into making weighted blankets for kids: Meet the Nappling....

As beauty director of both Health and Real Simple magazines, I take my beauty routine seriously—skipping is not an option. Because I don’t have much time at home in the morning, I use the moments I do have to squeeze in a quick workout and have breakfast with my hubby. This calls for a 4:30 a.m. alarm (yikes!), but now my body is used to the early wake up call....

Now, the good news: You can probably find a good (and affordable!) fix in your kitchen cabinet: apple cider vinegar. This natural solution is touted by trichologists and hairstylists everywhere for helping to restore life to your hair in a matter of minutes. The DIY ingredient is a great replacement for fancy clarifying shampoos—easier on your wallet and oftentimes more effective. You’ll probably notice the funky acidic scent immediately upon opening the bottle, but don’t worry about smelling like salad dressing....

I love me a good mocktail, especially when it’s done well. One of my favorite things to do in Phoenix was going to this little restaurant that had a menu full of just mocktails for those of us who like good flavor and want something other than just a soft drink or juice. I shared this strawberry mocktail a couple of years back and it’s been so popular that I thought it was about time to share another strawberry drink!...

The Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo has been the only product that has cleared my scalp. Available at Nordstrom starting at $15, the minty-scented charcoal shampoo deep-cleans your scalp. Not meant for everyday use, the one 8-ounce container of shampoo lasted me several months after using the shampoo once or twice a week. It doesn’t bubble up like other shampoos, instead the exfoliating shampoo has a slight lather and works more like a scrub....

No matter how hard I tried, though, I seemed to always lose track or blow my budget in at least one category. Often, this would throw off my calculations so much that I’d end up at the end of the month with a costly overdraft. It was basically impossible to plan exactly how much I’d need to spend each month—because of how often life throws little surprises at you: a surprise vet bill one month, Christmas presents the next....

On the one hand, we have to appreciate and marvel at what technology and the internet provide. During this challenging period of enforced physical distance, for example, tech has allowed remote coworkers to communicate, separated loved ones to connect, and stir-crazy travelers to catch glimpses of the outside world virtually. So, in some ways, you could argue it helps keep us sane. But new research reinforces that nagging, logical suspicion that permanent online connectedness—both actively being online and even just thinking about being online—can do the exact opposite, exacerbating our stress in an already stressful world....

However, if you’d like to craft a designated libation for your holiday feast this year (or want to upgrade your usual choice), there are several easy-to-make cranberry drinks that will take your Turkey Day celebration to the next level. Not only do these drinks look festive and taste delicious, but they’re also a clever way to use up any extra cranberries you may have lying around after you’ve made your cranberry sauce....

History Ocean Spray says the first commercial cranberry sauce was canned in 1912 by Marcus L. Urann, a lawyer who also owned cranberry bogs. At that time, a cranberry grower in New Jersey named Elizabeth Lee was also boiling her berries to make a jelly-like sauce. Lee and Urann combined efforts to perfect the recipe, and the sauce became a holiday staple during the early 1940s. Ingredients Cranberries get their tartness from the high acid concentration....

Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie A twist on a recipe for Dutch apple pie, this gooey dessert is topped with mini homemade cinnamon rolls instead of a crumbly streusel topping. The cinnamon roll topping is made with piecrust dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, so it still has that flaky crust most pie-lovers can’t resist. When you’re ready to serve, instead of a classic powdered sugar glaze, top each slice with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce....

But when we stopped by the home of Joanna Ballentine, the blogger behind Irrelephant, we saw that she kept an effortlessly beautiful house while living with two kids under four and a dog. What’s her secret? As it turns out, designing with the kids in mind and letting them inspire her decor choices helped Joanna create a home that’s as much a sanctuary for her little ones as it is for her and her husband....

But would they actually taste as good as new? We consulted the Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen experts to find out whether this hack is worth the effort. All you have to do is drop your “kind of sad” bruised strawberries into a bowl of ice water for approximately 20 minutes. According to our Test Kitchen’s trial, the strawberries appear more vibrant in color than before. As for the texture, they were still soft....

What is a deep hair cleanse? According to board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD, a deep cleanse is a hair treatment that exfoliates dead skin cells and breaks down buildup on your scalp and hair to prevent things like dandruff, scalp itchiness, and hair breakage. It ultimately preps your hair to absorb the ingredients and benefits of your other hair products, and gives you healthier and shinier hair overall. “[Your hair] should be gleaming,” adds Anabel Kingsley, brand president of Philip Kingsley and consultant trichologist....

Almost 10 million people have filed for unemployment insurance over the last two weeks. (Typically, about 500,000 people file for unemployment every two weeks.) The enormous loss of jobs as nonessential businesses close their doors and others curb spending has put the unemployment rate close to 13 percent, according to an estimate from The New York Times, and the spike in unemployment applications has overwhelmed online portals. With digital applications frozen or crashing and people lined up for blocks outside unemployment offices, successfully applying for unemployment can be challenging, if not impossible—but an app is stepping up to make filing for unemployment easier and doable....

Easy Banana Cupcakes with Pudding Filling I first made these banana cupcakes for my dad’s 50th birthday party because well my dad likes bananas. It’s actually funny because my dad loves bananas and my mom can’t stand them. So it’s not often we have things with bananas but for my dad’s party, it was all about him! Banana cupcakes and candy sushi for the win! I didn’t actually expect them to be as good as they were, but they really are delicious!...

I’m a big fan of biscuits and gravy. It’s kind of my favorite thing to order when I go out for breakfast, if it’s on the menu. After my husband came up with amazing sausage gravy recipe, I knew I needed some biscuits to go along with it. While I love traditional biscuits (you know the classic biscuits that are a perfect circle and have all those flaky layers), I really just wanted to be able to make biscuits fast....

I’ve always loved popcorn balls but sometimes the old fashioned ones made with caramel just stick in my teeth, so I end up not wanting to eat more than a bite or two. These marshmallow popcorn balls are a completely different ball game because they use a marshmallow mixture instead of caramel to keep the popcorn together. That’s why they’re called marshmallow popcorn balls – get it? They’re more like a rice krispie treat with the marshmallows creating an ooey gooey texture to the balls while still being super tasty....

I’ll make a confession. I was originally going to make apple pie cinnamon rolls because it’s fall and all, but I really don’t love warm apples all that much. And I knew my husband wouldn’t love these because they’re full of chocolately goodness, and I kind of wanted to have them all week long. Well, between my husband and me, they didn’t last more than an hour. Oh well. Good thing they only took like 20 minutes to make, so I can whip up another batch this week just for me....
