As convenient as comfy clothes may be, our clothing choices—even (or especially) when we’re at home all the time—can impact our mood. If what we wear affects our confidence at the office, the same could be said of our work-from-home-wear.

Enter the new group of people on TikTok who swear by applying deodorant all over their bodies. Yes, all over. From their thighs to the stomach and feet. But is applying deodorant all over your body safe? We asked board-certified dermatologists Jaimie DeRosa, M.D., and Ramya Garlapati, M.D., FAAD, to share their insights on the trend.

However clean you try to keep your car, though, when times get hectic, extra stuff tends to build up inside it. And it’s hard to filter out what you need from what you don’t and keep it all organized—you probably do need to keep a phone charger in there, and an extra pair of shoes could come in handy someday. Add in a weekend road trip or long-haul shopping trip, and you’re sure to have a good bit of build-up inside your vehicle....

A couple of weeks ago when I was filming videos for my Easter series on TikTok (watch it here!), my dad texted me a picture of this cute little dessert shop in Newport, Rhode Island selling Peeps pops. He mentioned that it was kind of a fun idea. I had just put the finishing touches on my Easter trifle and happened to have some Easter bunny rabbit Peeps and some colored straws (from making Easter cake pops) sitting around so thought I’d try them out....

Both turkey brining techniques have their benefits—they’re easier than mid-roast basting, for one—but both also have drawbacks. The choice to dry brine or wet brine a turkey depends on how much time you have, how much space you can allot to the process, and how much effort you’re willing to give the showpiece of your Thanksgiving Day dinner. Dry Brine vs. Wet Brine Both techniques work the same way; they both infuse the turkey’s meat with salt, which breaks down muscle protein strands in the meat....

Humorous Marketing In response to the brand’s launch, many have predictably pointed out that the celebs likely don’t do as much of their household cleaning as, well, the rest of us. But the lighthearted brand is clearly in on the joke, with tongue-in-cheek marketing images that include Teigen doing laundry while dressed in couture. Having been close for years, Jenner says that Teigen’s sense of humor (she was even a judge on the comedy competition show Bring the Funny) was one of the reasons she was excited to work with her on this collab....

Finish the tagliatelle pasta with more walnuts and thyme leaves. The result is hearty, comforting, and original.

The concept of a quiet room is a little like a she shed or a man cave in that it’s about designing a space that suits your particular preferences and needs; unlike these gendered places, though, a quiet room is specifically intended for introverts of all types who need a space to recharge. “I believe every home should have a quiet room, where people like me can retreat to process our day, recharge our internal batteries, and recover from the toll of functioning in a world that’s designed for extroverts to succeed,” says Rachel Cannon, an interior designer and introvert....
