Here, dermatologists debunk some of the most popular pore myths, and tell us exactly what to believe. When pores are warmed up, skin will feel more moisturized, but it also might disrupt the protective barrier, making skin more sensitive and prone to trauma. This is why it’s important to really trust whoever you hire for a facial, since you may experience unnecessary breakouts, and in some extreme cases, scars....

When we started talking about finishing our basement, we knew that there was one main thing we wanted to put down there – a climbing area for the kids. My toddler is a climber, to put it lightly. We wanted a place that was designed for him to climb. We also wanted to make sure that it was both a place where the kids could run and play but also relax....

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 10, Etsy is expanding its Uplift Makers Program with the addition of the Indigenous Artisans Collective, which features shops from Indigenous makers affiliated with 10 Indigenous groups across the United States and the First Nations of Canada.

That’s why I like to slowly ease out my heavy winter creams and face oils for lightweight formulas that still provide a hefty dose of moisture. One moisturizer I’ve tested lately that has done the job better than others is FaceGym’s Vitamin C + Bioferment Gel-Cream. The newest product from the spa known for its ″workout″ facials, the Liftwear face cream was dubbed “shapewear for the face” by the brand because of how bouncy and sculpted it makes dehydrated skin look....

I grew up on gummy bears. My dad always made sure we knew which ones were the best – the ones in the gold bag. Always the gold bag. When I saw a pack of cute gold pack gummy bears at the store the other day, I knew I had to make a printable bear valentine to share. Not sure I’ll actually be giving them out since I want to eat them all, but I am sharing the valentine!...

If there’s one thing that I love to create most, it’s scavenger hunts. There’s a reason there are over 50 scavenger hunt ideas on my site.

One of my favorite things about the fall is all of the fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and Halloween parties. We love checking out each and every one in our area. Wagon rides, pumpkin picking, and trick or treating with my toddler may be three of my favorite things ever. So it probably comes as no surprise that I host a Halloween party each year. This year I combined my love of Halloween and fall festivals and hosted a Halloween carnival that’s perfect for kids of all ages....

Here’s how it works: the color experts at Clare have already chosen the “Elite Eight,” a curated collection of 8 potential paint colors (check them out, below). These choices have been paired into color family matchups (“teams”) of pinks, greens, blues, and yellows. “Fans can submit a prediction bracket to narrow these eight colors down to one top choice, and the color that receives the most picks will land a coveted spot in the Clare color palette,” the company explains in a press release....

But for the most part, people who retire in their 30s or 40s-usually those involved in the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement-get there because they’ve super-hustled and managed to become millionaires. Lauren and Brian, on the other hand, were “not rich,” Lauren explains. Because of this, they knew they couldn’t stop working forever." So, as a dream realized but also as a compromise, they decided to take two years off to have an adventure....
