I am the type of person who will put my bag, wallet, or jacket down in a bookstore or restaurant and accidentally walk out without it. I once walked off without my luggage outside of an airport, and when I turned around, it was rolling downhill and I had to chase after it. So naturally, one of the first things I added to my cart in preparation for a less chaotic new year was a 4-pack of Apple AirTags....

There’s so much to explore in the storefront, including pre-loved designer bags and accessories and sections to shop party dresses, fan-favorite items, and more. But our favorite part of the storefront is the Gifts Under $50 page, where you’ll find all kinds of amazing gifts at equally as awesome prices. Plus, all the items in the Gifts Under $50 section are actually nice, so no one will even suspect they were so inexpensive....

Costa sells the philodendron Birkin for less than $20 for an 8-inch plant at stores like The Home Depot. However, the trendy plant can retail for upwards of $50 on online plant stores, including Costa Farm’s own online shop. Like other philodendrons, the Birkin is a relatively easy plant to care for, as long as you provide it with optimal growth conditions. It prefers its soil slightly moist and plenty of humidity....

Every apartment, especially your first apartment, needs the following essentials—space-saving storage options, efficient cleaning systems, versatile kitchen appliances, and quality bedding. Our shopping experts recommended a variety of their must-have apartment picks including a robot vacuum and mop that handles the cleaning for you, a bed frame that doubles as a storage container, an affordable air fryer for easy weeknight meals, and a basically indestructible nonstick pan. Some of these items may be a little pricey, but our editors swear they are worth the investment to avoid replacing low-quality vacuums, pans, and bedding every few years....

This post was originally sponsored by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas but has since been updated. There seems to be a theme to the gift guides I’m making this year. They’re all gifts that match my interests. Gifts for entertainers. Cricut gift ideas. Personalized gifts. And today’s gift guide – gifts for bakers – continues with that trend! Baking is one of my favorite things to do and yes, I would love all of these gifts!...

Popular indoor hanging plants include well-known trailing varieties such as pothos and spider plants. However, dozens of plant varieties make lovely hanging plants that aren’t necessarily known for their trailing growth habit. Whether you’re looking for an indoor flowering plant to add a pop color or a plant that can survive low light, Justin Hancock, head of brand marketing at Costa Farms, shares his top picks for the best houseplants to hang in every room of your house—including that tricky corner no other plant seems to tolerate....

There are lots of different approaches to decorating the Christmas tree. Alternative Christmas trees are increasingly popular, and people have their pick of a live Christmas tree, an artificial one, or a colored one—even upside-down Christmas trees have become popular for people with smaller spaces (or kids and pets who mess with their Christmas tree). Whatever your personal style, your holiday personality, your budget, and your space constraints, we have some great holiday decorating ideas for you....

And why shouldn’t we? We spent hours chopping, sautéing, roasting, and baking to create a fabulous meal we look forward to all year. This year, we suggest skipping the sad microwave-soggy reheated stuffing and make one of these delicious Thanksgiving leftover recipes instead; like Turkey pot pie, Brussels sprout flatbread, or Zucchini and black bean stuffed sweet potatoes. After all, most of the work’s already done. Let’s honor our favorite meal of the year in the proper way, because repurposing the ingredients gives us the perfect excuse to eat it all again....

It’s important to note that there are many different types of vinegar and each has its own purpose. Balsamic and red wine vinegar are used mostly for cooking and salad dressing. White vinegar, while edible, is best used for cleaning purposes. Cleaning vinegar is dangerous to ingest and should only be used for that purpose. Apple cider vinegar is one of the most versatile types of vinegar, with just as many culinary uses as cleaning and other purposes....

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women, according to the CDC, and includes conditions such as heart attacks, stroke, and coronary heart disease, where the arteries of the heart become narrow or blocked and can no longer carry enough blood to the heart. While some of the risk factors for CVD are genetic, certain lifestyle factors such as how much you exercise and what you eat do play an important role....

Every year during teacher appreciation week (typically the first week in May) my son’s school puts together a week full of awesome activities and treats for the teachers to show our appreciation. Parents volunteer to put things together, donate items (or money), and the teachers get to feel appreciated for at least a week. And hello, teachers deserve the world, especially after the past year. My son’s teacher is phenomenal and I’d donate all sorts of time and money to make sure he knows how much he appreciate him and his assistant!...

The Best Christmas Party Themes I love Christmas and all of the fun Christmas parties we get to attend! It’s always fun to see other’s Christmas decor and Christmas cookies while catching up with family and friends over the holidays. We’ve been to our fair share of ugly Christmas sweater parties and gingerbread house making parties. And while those, and gift exchange games, are classics and always a blast, I wanted to think of some new Christmas party themes this year....
