One of the biggest furniture pieces in your living room is hands down your coffee table. While a coffee table centers the room and gives you a place to set hot drinks down, some can even hide unsightly electronics, magazines, and small knick knacks. That’s where this adjustable coffee table from Wlive comes in. It has a lift-top design that raises the top portion up and over, allowing you to use it as a desk while also utilizing the storage space underneath....

Safe for use on the eyes, lips, and face, Youth to the People’s Superberry Dream Cleansing Balm transforms in texture once applied. Becoming an oil and then emulsifying to a milky texture with the addition of water, the balm was created to rid the face of makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, and any of the day’s grime that accumulates on the face. Formulated with beneficial skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid, this balm is an “actual dream,” one shopper reported....

You wish. Finding kitchen cabinets that fulfill all these requirements and are relatively affordable—a 2017 study found that most people budget and spend between $25,001 and $50,000 on their kitchen renovations. It can be daunting, and doubly so when you consider how quickly kitchen design styles shift. So when it’s time to update your kitchen, whether for functional or aesthetic purposes, you have to decide: Will you refinish or replace your kitchen cabinets?...

I’ve talked about it a little bit before, but I’m big sucker for a good mocktail or fancy non-alcoholic drink. I’ve shared my favorite strawberry mocktail, holiday punch, and even a homemade fruit punch before. Today is more of a Thanksgiving or fall drink – a caramel apple drink to be exact because what’s more fall than caramel apples. It’s fun for the kids but delicious enough that adults will enjoy it as well....

Taxes on an Inheritance Inheritance taxes are paid by the living beneficiary who receives an inheritance. Confusingly enough, both federal and state governments can apply estate taxes, which are levied against the assets that are bequeathed. When organized properly, these wealth transfers may be a financial boon that helps pay for college, launch businesses, and keep valuable properties within a family. However, to ensure that beneficiaries are properly prepared for the debt and tax burdens that might come with an inheritance, it’s best to hold a family meeting with an estate planner and legal advisor who can explain the implications for each state where an asset is held....

The key to the dish still feeling like lasagna is maintaining distinct layers in the pan. So first, there’s a layer of spicy bacon-infused onions, then broken lasagna noodles, basil-infused tomatoes, and finally, a generous amount of ricotta and shredded cheese. The result is nothing short of perfection; best of all, it comes together in under an hour.

Paint the Stair Railings Too often, transitional spaces such as staircases are overlooked as opportunities for bold design moves. But design pro Gina Gutierrez of Gina Rachelle Design didn’t miss a chance to make a statement. By painting the stair railings Pitch Cobalt, Gina draws your eye up the stairs, inviting you to explore the second floor. To balance the space, she painted an interior door the same hue but left the rest of the room fairly neutral so these splashes of color can shine....

The pieces are manufactured through a process that is almost entirely waste-free: The company donates carbon credits to offset its carbon emissions, and all its suitcases—which are completely vegan (the first luggage company to be so accredited by PETA)—are shipped in recycled packaging. The most popular piece may be the H7—its largest checked offering that is available in a multitude of colors and comes in standard and smart options—but the brand’s most innovative collection is the Circle One line....

When I first started using natural deodorant a few years ago (I made the switch with Alba Botanica’s deodorant), there weren’t many options so it was tough to find a good one that didn’t give me a rash (which can be prompted by baking soda), actually kept the stink away, and was clear so it wouldn’t leave white streaks on clothes. Since then, I’ve tried dozens of natural deodorants, and I can attest that there are plenty of natural alternatives that still reduce odor all day long—some even without a scent!...

We tested 27 electric leaf blowers in our Lab and evaluated them on their effectiveness, battery life, ease of use, portability, noise level, and value. For expert insight, we spoke to Gary McCoy, Lowe’s store manager. “An electric leaf blower is a low-maintenance machine that is both lighter and quieter than gas-powered models,” says McCoy. Our top pick for the best electric leaf blower is the Ryobi 18V One+ 280 CFM Jet Fan Blower because it’s lightweight and easy to handle, while still providing lots of leaf blowing power....
