Typically used to seal gaps and cracks around your home, the polyurethane-based foam creates a bubbly raised texture when applied to surfaces. In the interior design world, the coating has most commonly been used to create a foam frame around mirrors, often tagged as #cloudmirror or #popcornmirror on Instagram and TikTok. However, other items with hard surfaces, such as side tables, benches, and decorative vases, also work well for the treatment....

While you can certainly read, take a bath, or do something similarly relaxing, you can also do some simple stretching before bed. (Stretching isn’t just for before or after a workout, after all.) “Deep breathing and slow stretching slow the nervous system and calm the brain and body similar to meditation,” says Leslee Bender, Florida-based creator of the I Am Ageless workout program and the Bender Ball, who developed the following series of six soothing stretches....

“It’s helpful to always consider what the intended usage is for the pot,” says Stephanie Horton, the professional plant consultant behind Instagram account @botanicalblackgirl.

Think of a table runner as related to a tablecloth, which is its cousin with more coverage. A tablecloth spans the entire tabletop and overhangs the edges on all four sides, while a runner is slimmer, running the length of the table but not its entire width. Such decoration may seem too dressy for today’s casual homes and rushed meals, but we beg to differ. A little extra something special on the table is what family dinners, birthday parties, and holiday festivities need to celebrate life’s milestones....

We asked Jason Kazakos, Managing Director of Zebra Home Improvement Limited, about what factors to consider when shopping for the best tool kits. “The best tool kit will be robust, ideally waterproof, and the right size for your needs,” Kazakos says. “Too big and it could get unnecessarily overloaded and become too heavy to carry around, and, if it’s too small, it might not fit the most essential items.” He also recommended looking for tool kits with durable cases that can protect the tools inside....

If you’re mainly needing a ladder for indoor use, we recommend shopping for a step ladder since they’re more portable, easy to store, and generally tall enough to reach most areas of your home.

The Worst Thanksgiving Sides, According to Americans Everyone has an opinion on what Thanksgiving side dishes belong on the table. Honestly, I’m a bit shocked by the lack of appetite for candied yams (aka sweet potatoes where I live) and sweet potato casseroles. There’s just something about adding the perfect amount of sweet flavor to the rest of the savory items on the plate. To each their own, though. I do, however, completely understand the low interest in a salad....
