A side hustle can be a great way to make some quick and easy extra income to finance your next vacation or pay off your student loans quicker, but it could also impact the way you do your taxes come April 18. According to TurboTax Creator data, there was a 207 percent increase from 2018 to 2020 in taxpayers claiming creator, streamer, influencer, or a related term as their occupation, says Lisa Greene-Lewis, certified financial planner and tax expert with TurboTax....

Fortunately, with a few ideas and tricks, you can create a show-stopping hydrangea bouquet that’ll look lovely for days. How to Pick and Prep Hydrangea If you’re using homegrown hydrangeas in your floral arrangement, pick them when the plant is well-hydrated. “Water your shrubs well a day or two before you pick the flowers,” says Amy Gofton, floral designer at Studio Nectar in Montclair, New Jersey. “Pick your flowers early in morning, before moisture starts to evaporate in the heat of the day....

But last week, I found my perfect match in the Lasko Ceramic Space Heater, and it came just in time: I’m currently sitting cozier than ever, watching a blizzard through the window as it works its magic by my side. The affordable space heater comes with three intensity levels (including a heat-free fan setting, which I use to dry my nails) and a thermostat feature with 11 temperature options. Both are controlled with user-friendly dials that make it easy to switch up the settings throughout the day....

When she first joined the company, she worked in Meredith’s e-commerce newsroom for two years, covering the biggest shopping events of the year and new product launches. And prior to this, she covered news and lifestyle content for several brands. Her work has been published by outlets like Cosmopolitan, TIME, and Business Insider. Highlights: Jessica pivoted to lifestyle content and celebrity news soon after, and stayed at Hearst, one of the country’s biggest magazine publishers, for four years....

Lively, a lingerie brand known for its forget-you’re-wearing-them bras just released a new collection of bras, bralettes, and underwear made of flat-laying lace. If you’re getting excited about the idea of slipping into sexy yet comfy undergarments, you’re not the only one. At least 1,200 people signed up for the line’s waitlist before it was even available. But don’t worry. The bras and underwear have arrived, and there are plenty to go around....

As a huge Madewell fan, it’s hard for me to resist a good sale from the brand like the one happening this weekend. Prices are impressively low—starting at $4 after you apply the discount code DOUBLEUP—and styles include so many spring fashion essentials you’ll want to pick up right now in preparation for March. Even the brand’s iconic jeans are discounted, including the fan-favorite Perfect Vintage Jean that reviewers call ″as snug as a warm hug″ and has a near-perfect rating....

An Easy Mocktail Recipe Inspired by Disney’s Moana Since my family watches Moana on the regular, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this Moana inspired mocktail recipe. If I’m being honest, this recipe didn’t turn out anything like I’d originally planned, but I like to think it turned out better. Originally I’d planned to create a mocktail that was actually inspired by Moana herself with a little red puree and yellow, to match the colors of the movie....

As a millennial who spends a huge chunk of time online, I’m pretty familiar with all the different types of culty bed sensations that fill Instagram and Facebook feeds. You probably know the ones I’m talking about—the ads all consist of pastel backgrounds and doodle-esque graphics. Among these is the bed-in-a-box from Nectar. Now, not to be too dramatic, but I think I’ve gotten to know this brand better than any man I’ve ever dated, mostly because its ads popped up on my phone nearly every day for two years....

I have extremely sensitive skin and eczema on my hands, and this soap doesn’t burn or dry them out. Many hand soaps strip moisture, but O’Keeffe’s rich formula moisturizes as you wash, leaving you with clean—and hydrated—hands. It’s particularly good for people with skin conditions or allergies, or simply those who dislike scented soaps, as it’s hypoallergenic and fragrance-free (though there’s also a version made with orange oil if you prefer scented soap)....
