Is It Difficult to Care for an Orchid? To demystify orchid care, we reached out to Kaylyn Hewitt, the resident florist at The Bouqs Co. Luckily, she assured us that once you know the basics, caring for an orchid isn’t that complicated. “Orchids take a bit more care and attentiveness than your normal houseplant, but once you get the hang of it, they are relatively low maintenance,” she says. Below, the flower pro shares her guide to caring for orchids....

I think I’ve finally found it in the Alo Yoga Seamless Ribbed Bra. This sports bra isn’t padded at all—and while I typically like a very light lining to keep the fact that I’m always cold to myself, the ribbed, compressive fabric does the job all on its own. It’s so comfortable, I’ve fallen asleep wearing it, and it’s quickly dethroned all of my previous favorites. To buy: $58; aloyoga....

Stellar Sunflower Seeds These cute kernels make a great snack, and they’re also a smart swap for nuts in all sorts of recipes—even if no one in your house has a nut allergy. With a pleasant crunch and mild flavor, these babies boast outsize nutritional benefits: They’re rich in antioxidants, which protect cells against free-radical damage, and high in vitamin E, which can help reduce the risk of inflammation. Sunny seeds indeed!...

For our Wednesday adventure this week, all he wanted to do was go on a dinosaur adventure, so I spent an hour looking for all of the places that you could see dinosaurs in the DFW area....

My favorite pimple patch to use over the last year has been the top-rated Original Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics. It is a medical-grade hydrocolloid sticker that absorbs pus and fluids from a pimple, according to the brand, and it was developed to treat surfaced pimples and whiteheads. The film also helps people like me who have a habit of picking at their face by covering the wound with a soft shield so you can go about your day (or sleep the night away)....

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....

This only further fueled my love for lightweight alternatives to foundation that felt neither heavy, nor stifling. The only holdover I still had for keeping my last bottle of foundation around was the “oh well, just in case” mentality with which I similarly used to treat that one chipped soup bowl I had lying around my kitchen but never actually touched. But at last, I found the impetus to finally toss my old foundation in the trash: Saie’s Slip Tint Moisturizer, which has truly replaced my need to ever wear foundation again....

While it may sound too good to be true, when parents chime in to second the praise, you know it’s the real deal. “I’ve been embarrassed for years about the bags under my eyes, but with two preschoolers at home, stress, and mild insomnia, I didn’t see a way out,” wrote a commenter with sensitive skin. “This is like a little miracle tube…I’ve gone from looking like there are bruises under my eyes to looking normal again....

“Homeowners in 1926 didn’t have as much stuff as we have today, so the key to this transformation was creating a place for everything while keeping the design true to the home’s pre-clutter era,” Vroom says. When this renovation started in 2019, Vroom was hired to do a modest makeover on the kitchen. But that quickly evolved into a full renovation, simply because this one-time starter home had morphed into the family’s forever address, and they needed it to meet their current needs....
