To curate a list of only the best products, we spent hours researching top-performing options while comparing factors like ingredients, coverage, finish, and shade options. We also spoke with Kelsey Deenihan, bareMinerals global makeup artist ambassador, for expert advice on shopping for—and applying—concealer for dark circles.

“Gardening gloves are essential,” says Karen Funkenbusch, extension specialist with the University of Missouri Extension. “I suggest wearing gloves for most garden-related activities. They can help you avoid scrapes, pricks from thorns, splinters, blisters, cuts from garden tools or equipment, and any potentially harmful substances that you may be using in your garden.” Of course, not all garden gloves are created equal. Some are ideal for weeding and planting, while others are great for heavy-duty tasks....

This new affinity for bold outdoor colors could be traced back to the difficulty of the past couple of years, says Lisa Tharp, designer and creator of ECOS Paints’ color collection Lisa Tharp Colors. “There is a greater need for celebrating what is good and letting go of decisions that, in the grand scheme of life, are not that important,” she says. “This means injecting more joy into the colors one chooses, and even into the selection process itself....

“The whole point of ice is to make (and keep) your drink cold, while also adding some dilution from the ice melt,” says Jason Percival, beverage manager at Himmel Hospitality Group. “Although it might seem counterintuitive, the best bet to keep the beverage cold without watering it down is to use plenty of ice so that it fills the whole glass rather than a few cubes floating on top.” Our team of experts tested 15 ice makers in our testing lab in Birmingham, Alabama, evaluating each machine based on water capacity, dimensions of the appliance, ice production time, ice cube shape, and the noise level of the machine....

“If you get a good humidifier and apply a healing ointment, chapped lips can heal nicely within a week or two,” says Doyle. “I also recommend that my patients avoid salty foods since exposure to these items can delay healing.” Doyle notes that if your lips aren’t healed within a couple of weeks, you should visit your dermatologist’s office. She also recommends a product with SPF for extra protection. Our top choice for the best chapped lip treatment is the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm, which is effective, budget-friendly, and contains moisturizing ingredients, as well as SPF....

Water the bale thoroughly for three days to ensure it stays damp, checking for moisture and heat by pushing your hand inside the bale. During the next six days, use a general-purpose liquid fertilizer to ensure that the bale has enough nitrogen to grow healthy plants. After feeding the bale, keep it damp for two more days before planting. Finally, when the bale feels warm but cooler than your hand, you’re ready to plant!...

I’d seen ads for this smart alarm clock pop up on my Instagram feed, but it took me a while to actually purchase it. I was originally waiting for a sale, but I ended up buying it at full price. It was a bit more than I was hoping to spend on an alarm clock that might not prevent me from oversleeping—but after it woke me up immediately for a few days in a row, I realized it was 100 percent worth the price....

“It would have been a lot cheaper to tear it down,” Rob admits. But as the proud new owner of a historic Prairie School home, dreams of a fabulous renovation danced in his head. Yes, the place had fallen on hard times. Yes, many of its historical elements had been covered up. “It had been 1980s-ized,” Rob says. “But I think if you live in Chicago, you should live in a home that honors this area’s architectural roots....

1. Flexible Lighting As the kitchen continues to transform into a multifunctional space, lighting plays a key role. “Lighting controls, and the ability to adjust your light to the task at hand, is an important trend,” says Greg Martin, creative director of design at Kichler Lighting. “This could be as simple as the ability to dim light levels or as complex as app-controlled color temperature and light intensity.” According to the 2022 Design Trends Report by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), app- and voice-controlled lighting will be as popular as traditional dimmers and motion-sensing lighting in the coming year....

“Invisibobbles are the perfect workout hair accessory—because they’re made of plastic, they can hold hair without absorbing sweat and their spiral design makes it so they won’t cause headaches, hair breakage, or leave you with any weird ponytail holder mark,” notes Laurel Berg, stylist and owner of Laurel Beauty Lab in San Francisco. “There are wet texture sprays and dry texture sprays,” adds celebrity stylist Chaz Dean. “Typically, a dry texture spray, similar to a dry shampoo, disperses powder throughout the hair to soak up oil and add a boost of volume....
