(B) Breathe out as you bend your upper body to the right. Take five slow breaths. Slowly return to the center. Repeat on the left side. (B) Interlace your fingers behind your back.

Is there anything better than an ice cold glass of something refreshing on a summer day? This raspberry punch is the perfect combination of tart and sweet – making it the ultimate summer punch! It’s almost like the summer version of my super popular holiday punch! Families will love this non-alcoholic punch because it’s so easy to make, only takes a few ingredients, and can be made in a slightly tart (for the adults) or slightly sweet version (for the kids)....

It’s that time of year again! Time to get out the decorations, bake some cookies, and get ready for Santa! And we can’t forget about the reindeer! While you’re making cookies for Santa or just making Christmas cookies (I recommend these Andes mint cookies) in general, try out this fun reindeer chow snack mix to change things up this holiday season! Plus, it’s so easy to make the kids can even help....

Yet taking care of both your scalp and your individual strands doesn’t necessarily mean you need to have a bunch of different bottles, tubs, and jars taking over your shower shelf. Reviewers say Rene Furterer’s Astera Fresh Soothing Freshness Shampoo is the calming double-duty shampoo that you’ll love if you have an unbearably itchy scalp. It’s “perfection” for people with irritated, uncomfortable scalps, according to shoppers—and it’s 20 percent off with code EARTH2022 thanks to the brand’s sitewide Earth Day 2022 discounts....

There’s a lot of furniture today that’s not built for a second life—it’s not structurally sound enough to invest in. If you have a piece with a well-made frame, it’s probably worth it. Older furniture tends to be higher quality—something that was your grandmother’s in the 30s or 40s is more likely to have dowel joints than be glued together. That’s worth investing in. It’s a time- and labor-intensive process that involves specialized skills....

During the pandemic, when most people pushed their “hard pants” to the backs of their closets, I entered what felt like my never ending era of ordering and returning countless pairs of jeans from many different retailers. I did finally find one style I loved, but I was still left hoping to source a new go-to pair of skinny jeans. Then, a few weeks ago—without any knowledge of my years-long saga—Spanx reached out to me with an offer to try the brand’s Ankle Skinny Jeans....

To buy: $46 (was $60); amazon.com. “I LOVE how organized this makes me feel and absolutely LOVE that I can now see what I have in stock and what I need more of,” another reviewer said. “The clear containers are awesome with keeping items fresh and I feel confident that my inventory won’t stale as fast.” What’s more, you can safely place the Rubbermaid food containers, which are made of durable BPA-free plastic that reviewers claim is crack-resistant and scratch-proof, in the freezer or the microwave....

I love gift exchange games. So much that I’ve actually created over ten original gift exchange games you can find here. This year I created two new gift exchange games that I’m super excited about. Scrooge Your Neighbor is a gift exchange game with fun A Christmas Carol inspired cards that add twists and turns throughout the game. And this Santa’s Helper gift exchange game? This is, as my dad would say, a gift exchange flipped on its head....

To buy: $14 (was $20); amazon.com. So many shoppers have said the best-selling cleansing cloth has leveled up their cleansing experience while preventing waste and saving time. According to the brand, one MakeUp Eraser cloth is equal to 3,600 makeup wipes and can last up to three to five years—better yet, it’s also machine-washable. One reviewer noted that switching to the cloth makeup remover saved them from “having to purchase makeup remover wipes or cotton pads....

As far as Sherwin-Williams colors and color of the year picks go, Naval SW 6244 is a pretty good one. Some of this year’s choices are super trendy and statement-making, but this one is easy to bring home and use almost everywhere. Blue is already a top paint color for any home, but this deep, rich hue is both bold and calming; it’s also striking, but in a way that isn’t off-putting....

You can’t blame me for getting distracted from what’s actually happening in the plot—it’s been a while since I casually browsed for things I don’t need, so binge-watching the show is like window-shopping. However, Cloud 9 employees have driven me to add something to my IRL (virtual) cart that isn’t available on their shelves. Superstore is not the first time I’ve seen a shirt folding board on TV, but its repeated use sticks out to me....

In my search for an all-in-one hero product, I came across the Tula 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream, a moisturizer designed for morning and nighttime usage that delivers all-day hydration while brightening and smoothing the complexion. To do so, it’s formulated with a hydrating and skin-nourishing trio of squalane, apple, and watermelon, plus collagen-boosting peptides that tone and firm the skin. The moisturizer also features a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, which work in harmony to calm irritated skin....

Zimasilk’s reviewer-loved Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is made from 100 percent mulberry silk. The fabric is hypoallergenic and gentle on skin, doesn’t absorb oils and creams like cotton pillowcases, and keeps hair knots at bay. Experts agree about the benefits of silk pillowcases. Cotton is prone to wrinkles, which can cause creases on the face. Silk pillowcases remain smooth throughout the night, and the fabric is less prone to absorbing product than its cotton counterpart....

Unlike other wire-free bras, including bralettes and sports bras, wireless bras offer the same shaping and support as underwire bras but generally feel way more comfortable. Shoppers have voiced their support for the Hanes Natural Lift Wire Free Bra—and it’s on sale at Walmart for as little as $11. To buy: $11 (was $40), walmart.com. Available in sizes small to 2X (accommodating bra sizes 34A to 46D), the bra’s cups feature a foam lining to provide light coverage and shaping....
