What do you do when you’re craving chocolate chip cookies but don’t want to actually bake cookies? This chocolate chip cookie dough dip is the next best thing to chocolate chip cookies without having to actually bake! It’s also great if you’re one of those people who loves raw cookie dough but doesn’t want to deal with you know the whole eating raw eggs and raw flour thing. It’s my new favorite dessert dip (and I like sweet dips) and a great sweet treat option for parties, an after school snack, or anytime you just want something sweet!...

There’s just something about Halloween that makes me want to make all of the fun treats! And these Halloween dirt cups are so much fun, not to mention so cute! I shared a Halloween dirt cake earlier this week and thought it’d be fun to do an individual serving version too! While these Halloween graveyard dirt cups aren’t a cake (they’re more like a classic dirt and worms dessert) like the graveyard cake, they are individual cups that look like little mini graveyards full of dirt and creepy crawlers!...

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it was time to share a couple of additional recipes to add to your Thanksgiving dinner menu, or dessert menu I guess! I’ve already shared my favorite pumpkin crunch cake, no-bake pumpkin pie, and even a pumpkin crisp but this pumpkin magic cake is another great addition to any fall party, Thanksgiving celebration, or even just dinner during pumpkin season! Why’s it called a magic pumpkin cake?...

If you asked me to name one of the things I remember most about our Disney Cruise last December, I would have to stay the pineapple bread at Castaway Cay. People call it banana bread, but it definitely tastes more tropical than banana bread to me. Even my husband, who isn’t a big sweets person, had a couple of mini loaves himself. Enjoying the mini pineapple bread loaves is just one of the many things to do in Castaway Cay....

What You’ll Need: Tape measure LevelPencilHardware (such as picture hangers, nails, or wall anchors if the piece is particularly heavy)Hammer How to Mat Artwork in a Gallery Wall Choosing matting for the frames in your gallery wall is just as practical as it is aesthetic. To preserve your artwork, only add matting that’s acid-free, and while you’re at it, make sure you have a dust cover over the back of your art....

What Is a Cold Sore? A cold sore is a small, fluid-filled blister that forms on or around your mouth. You may find them on your lips, around your mouth, and inside your mouth. And sometimes, you’ll find several clustered together. “A cold sore usually starts with a strange tingly feeling on your lip,” says Noreen Galaria, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Virginia. “This is soon followed by small bumps that will turn into painful, fluid-filled blisters....

The agency recently announced a plan to propose “to update the definition for the implied nutrient content claim ‘healthy’ to be consistent with current nutrition science and Federal dietary guidance,” which includes the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020–2025), as well as the updated Nutrition Facts Label. This new categorization aims to focus more on the value of eating certain food groups rather than trying to obtain individual nutrients, an approach that Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, registered dietitian and NOW Wellness expert, is excited about....

When I was younger, I loved watching the Price is Right game show. My favorite game was always PLINKO, but I still loved watching all the others as well. Honestly, I’m a bit of a game show junkie. I love getting game ideas from game shows like these minute to win it games and this danger words game. I may not have the huge budget and production set they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t still come up with fun Christmas games inspired by theirs!...

A study produced by The American College Center for Economic Empowerment and Equality, titled Black Women, Trust, and the Financial Services Industry, bears this out. The study, which was conducted in 2021 and involved 3,500 middle-income Black women, found that 60 percent of participants had difficulty finding financial professionals or advisors they trust. Lack of trust was the second most cited reason for not accessing financial advisory services, just behind the services being too expensive....

My boys have both loved dinosaurs ever since they were little, especially my oldest. There’s just something magical and mystical about dinosaurs I guess. Or maybe it’s just fun to roar like a dinosaur or stomp like a dinosaur. Or stop and take a rest when you reach your nest. I digress. With their dinosaur fascination, I knew I needed to make some printable dinosaur valentine cards that they could give out to their friends with the little toy dinosaurs my oldest son has been collecting for years!...

You all know I love dice games. From this viral dice gift exchange to these dice centered birthday party games, dice games are my favorite! With Easter being at home this year, I thought it would be fun to come up with a little Easter dice game that your family could play at home to make Easter a little more eggciting. As soon as my son saw this Easter dice printable, he immediately asked to play because mom, it looks like so much fun!...

I’m a big fan of anything to do with rainbows and candy. Roll a rainbow, chase the rainbow, rainbow donuts, rainbow cupcakes – you name it. This rainbow guessing game incorporates both into a fun and easy (yet challenging) game for all ages! Simply put – you’re trying to see who can guess what comes in a Skittles bag, color by color.

As we get to the end of the year, I can’t help but look back at everything that’s happened this year. It’s been a year alright. It was definitely the hardest year ever to make these New Year’s Eve trivia games. But along with all of the crazy that happened, there’s a lot of good that happened too. And I personally don’t want to forget that or have it be lost in the shuffle!...

If you’ve never played Scattergories, it’s pretty easy. In the actual game, you have a bunch of different category lists and a letter die. You roll the die then have to come up with words starting with that letter for the category lists....

Every time I use Glow Recipe’s makeup remover, it’s basically a beauty ASMR moment. The balm melts away my waterproof makeup in seconds and leaves my skin so smooth, I’m always amazed by how clean my skin is at the end. Just by warming up the balm in my fingers, then lightly applying it in a circular motion on my eyes, cleans off every last bit of my persistent mascara and eyeliner....
