Although Keen shoes are great for outdoor activities like hiking or camping, the brand also has some seriously cute sandals that deliver the same amount of comfort for everyday wear. These “incredibly comfortable” strappy sandals are made with a compression ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam midsole that’s lightweight and ultra flexible, allowing your foot to bend without restriction. They also deliver a ton of cushion and have a contour-like design that supports your arches and gives you stability via a semi-deep heel cup....

While there are currently no reports of illness in the United States, Ferrero is recalling the products out of an abundance of caution after there were multiple cases of Salmonella reported among people who consumed products in Europe that were manufactured at the same facility. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain....

I’m a notoriously hot sleeper, and I never go to bed without first turning on my fan. This is partly for white noise, but mostly because I can wake up completely overheated, no matter the season. My friend told me that her Lake pajamas help regulate her temperature and keep her cool, and I’ve seen many of my favorite influencers say the same. So, I finally decided to splurge on my first pair....

For storing dry goods, like oats, flour, sugars, and rice, I rely on the 96-ounce screw-top jar. The wide opening allows me to easily measure ingredients for cooking and baking, and while the canister is quite large and sturdy, it’s not unbearably heavy when I have to remove it from the shelf. The seal is complete with a two-piece system—so you don’t have to worry about brown sugar immediately drying out—and the clear glass means I’m never second guessing what’s inside....

So when we heard about Marlow, a new pillow brand by the founders of Brooklinen, we knew we had to try it out. The creators surveyed thousands of people on their pillow-related problems and used those insights to bring Marlow to fruition—and it resulted in a cooling memory foam pillow that’s easily adjustable based on your preferences. How We Tested Available at marlowpillow, brooklinen, amazonTo find out if it actually lived up to the hype, five writers (who sleep very differently) put the Marlow pillow to the test—some for as long as two months....

As you weigh your decision, one of your considerations is logistical practicalities. To that end, it may be worth it to know that moving in together, with all its emotional and romantic perks, also comes with some major financial bonuses. According to an analysis by the tuxedo and suit rental company, The Black Tux, couples cohabitating in large cities (think San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C.) can save each person as much as $955 per month....

It starts almost immediately, within the first few sips. No more than a gentle warmth in the cheeks, as if you were blushing from something embarrassing. It’s nothing you couldn’t ignore or that would attract attention if you were drinking with friends. But the sensation escalates exponentially as I continue to drink, and as the blood vessels in my face dilate, the heat crawls to my earlobes and my beet-red cheeks look as if they’ve been through a bad sunburn....

I learned about the benefits of light therapy as I tried to find ways to combat my funky moods. “Whole spectrum light has been used to relieve seasonal depression and increasingly is being used to help non-seasonal depression,” psychiatrist Nigel Lester, M.D., explained to Real Simple. I received the Verilux HappyLight Luxe a couple of years ago as a Christmas gift from a friend who knew I had been eyeing it for months, and it’s helped to brighten up my mornings....

I became a fan of Milk Makeup after trying out and loving the Kush Fiber Brow Gel and award-winning Kush Volumizing Mascara over the years. Seeing as my combination skin needed a setting spray that was not only durable, but also hydrating, I was drawn to the overflow of good-for-you skincare ingredients. The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, aloe, niacinamide, hemp-derived cannabis seed extract, and moringa seed oil to lock in moisture and protect the skin from free radicals while delivering a glass-like glow....

Boldify’s Hair Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner is designed to hydrate your hair, restore its strength, and prevent strands from falling out.

Best of all, the set is made without harmful chemicals such as sulfates and parabens, and is gentle enough for dyed hair....

A single lever kitchen faucet with the handle in front, on top, or to the side of the spout adjusts water flow and regulates temperature. The lever activates one of three types of operating systems: ceramic disk, cartridges, or ball. Models might be installed as a stand-alone spout (sometimes equipped with a pull-down or pullout sprayer) or on a mounting plate. Lever placement might impact how well a single-handle faucet works, notes Consumer Reports (consumerreports....

To buy: $20; amazon.com. The expandable rack ranges from 16 to 32.5 inches wide, and it’s detachable, so you can use the shelves separately as well. It has a non-slip and rust-resistant coating to keep your items in place, along with foot grips to stabilize the shelf and prevent it from scratching your cabinets. Plus, it comes in five colors to match the decor in your home. “I got this rack to organize canned goods in an off-size cabinet,” the reviewer said....

Looking ahead, the guest room will be used by the homeowner’s kids when they come home to visit during college. “The newly refreshed space accommodates both lifestyles, as it’s neutral for an older person and their taste palette, but can be easily changed to a younger vibe with just a few different accessories and pieces,” explains Hayslett. “It needed to be multifunctioning for different people, so I made sure that it wasn’t too fussy, but still a cool space to want to be in and hang out....

A new take on the brand’s already popular faux leather and velvet leggings, the suede tights debuted the first week of September and immediately became a hit.

To no surprise, the camel color sold out in mere weeks, but thankfully, they’re available again now. To buy: $98; spanx....

I love festive drinks but often times if you don’t drink alcohol, you get left out of the signature drink club. Or you get juice or regular soda instead. I personally am always hoping for parties to have something like this strawberry mocktail or homemade fruit punch. If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen cotton candy bombs all over the place. They’re kind of like hot chocolate bombs but more colorful and sweet....

In case you’re not yet in the know, Tula was actually founded by a gastroenterologist, Dr. Roshini Raj. Dr. Raj knew about the varied benefits of probiotics and superfoods, so she set out to create a skincare line that took advantage of those ingredients, with efficacy and safety in mind. Tula notes that “all formulas are grounded in thorough scientific research,” and everything is not only dermatologist-tested, but also tested for “stability, microbiology, irritation (safe for all skin types), safety, toxicology, clinical claims assessment, and more,” per the brand....

You may make a point of spending Thanksgiving with family and/or friends, but that doesn’t mean you can’t send additional Thanksgiving wishes or messages. Thanksgiving quotes make great holiday greetings, but there are also gratitude- or relationship-focused messages you can share to spread the holiday cheer. (And if you want to go above and beyond “Happy Thanksgiving,” you’re in the right spot.) Whether you’re prepping cards, putting together signs for your Thanksgiving table decor, or planning out your Instagram captions for your post-dinner family photo posts, give these Thanksgiving wishes a try; you may find yourself getting a little teary-eyed in the process....
