Although enjoying a big ol’ pitcher of lemonade is pretty much the epitome of summertime vibes, the truth is that citrus season is just getting started. Shocking, I know: It peaks smack dab in the middle of winter. Indeed, most lemon varieties are available year-round; however, if you’re looking to get your hands on those deliciously sweet Meyer lemons at their peak freshness, December through May will likely be your best bet. However, if you’re well-acquainted with the top tricks for keeping lemon fresh, you already know that freezing them is by far the best way to squeeze (pun intended)…
After a long week of working hard, running errands, and generally keeping your life together, sometimes all you want to do is curl up on the couch and watch a movie (as you should). When a weekend night spent unwinding is your vibe, who do you call to come join you? We all have those special people in our lives who are *always* down for a cozy, self-care night filled with sipping mocktails, applying face masks, and catching up. This year, thank them for all the de-stressing nights you’ve had together by grabbing them some special, relaxing gifts that’ll upgrade…
Depending on who you ask, there’s no more quintessential autumnal food than the apple. (Pumpkin spice latte lovers, I see you, too.) Whether you make an outing out of apple picking with friends or simply stock up on a bag during your weekly grocery haul, you might have quite a few Honeycrisps, McIntoshes, or Pink Ladies on hand. Now, the goal is to get them to last long enough so you can enjoy every last one… but how do you go about doing that, exactly? Ahead, you’ll find all the apple storage tips and tricks you might have been sleeping…
There’s no overstating the benefits of social connection and the IRL gatherings that facilitate it. Spending quality time with a partner, loved one, or friend isn’t just a boon for your emotional health and mental state; it can support your physical well-being, too, contributing to the kind of social support that’s been shown to boost cardiovascular health and even ward off chronic disease1. But sometimes, it can feel like a one-on-one hangout involves a third party—except this one isn’t welcome nor is it even made of flesh and blood because, well, it’s a smartphone. If someone in your life is…
In all the years I’ve been using anti-aging skincare, my biggest challenge has been finding products that deliver results around the eye area. The crow’s feet, dark circles, and puffiness are endlessly stubborn, so I’m always on the lookout for exciting advances that might tackle these concerns. My latest discovery: SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye ($116), a next-generation eye cream and the brand’s second product formulated with its revolutionary anti-glycation technology (the first was a face cream). The eye cream fights multiple signs of aging including crepiness, crow’s feet, dark circles, dullness, and lack of firmness, and was so anticipated there…

Adulting comes with as much responsibility as it does freedom: You may not love, say, cleaning your bathroom or owning up to your mistakes, but these are very real things all adults have to do, at one point or another. Some of us, however, may refuse to take on these responsibilities, consciously or unconsciously avoiding the realities of growing up—much like the character of Peter Pan in James M. Barrie’s 1911 novel Peter and Wendy and the movies and plays based off of it. Aptly termed Peter Pan syndrome, such a denial of adult obligations doesn’t fly in the real…
Meet my morning skin ritual disguised as breakfast, full of delicious and tropical skin-loving ingredients! I’ve included sweet mangoes packed with vitamins A and C – your complexion’s favourite beauty allies. The tangy strawberries serve as a powerhouse of antioxidants to keep your skin radiant and supple. I especially love the chia seeds, a superfood known for its omega-3 fatty acids that help to maintain skin health, plus a scoop of Protein + Probiotics to nourish the skin cells. Finally, almond butter is loaded with Vitamin E to aid skin rejuvenation. Thanks to the frozen fruit, you can enjoy this…
