More than just a vanity piece (though it’ll make your vanity more photogenic than ever), Aesop’s Hand Wash is just as effective and much gentler on skin than even the most top-shelf antibacterial soap, cleaning off dirt, grime, and 99.9 percent of bacteria. And while other great household hand soaps like Mrs. Meyers and Public Goods accomplish as much, Aesop goes a few steps further by including an exfoliant petitgrain that lightly sloughs off dry, dead winter skin, and returns hands to their full softness and brightness—think of it as a quick and casual Biologique Recherche P50 for your digits....

The ornament box comes in four different options: black, gray, green, and red. I purchased mine in red with green trim and it’s easily identifiable among all my other containers as ornament storage. However, to make it even more recognizable, the label slot on the front makes it easy to know what’s stored at a glance. The square box’s lid and handles makes it easy to carry and grab out of storage....

Why smoke turkey? A bird cooked in woodsmoke takes on a more interesting character. Meat gains the complex, dusky, mellow-campfire notes of barbecue without sauce. These flavors pair nicely with cool weather and Thanksgiving sides. Smoking at higher heat can even crisp skin while retaining juiciness. And with the right smoker, the work isn’t much different from roasting. What You Need to Smoke a Turkey New to smoking meat? Begin with a plug-in pellet smoker....

Just when you thought you knew everything about your favorite fruit, according to the produce experts at Avocados From Mexico, there are a few major mistakes most of us are making when it comes to avocados. We promise your next bowl of guacamole will benefit. Myth 1: Avocado pits keep guacamole green. While this sounds like a neat trick, it simply isn’t true. Over time, guacamole exposed to air will oxidize and turn brown, as will any cut avocado....

Don’t be intimidated by what may look like intricate detail work. We avoided any cakes that require special equipment or fondant (which makes for a perfect-looking cake but doesn’t taste all that great). Instead, we opted for recipes with big wow factor that are still easy enough for anyone to pull off. Feel free to start with a store-bought cake mix, leaving you time for frosting and decorating the cake....

According to my France-dwelling friend, a trip to Paris is not considered complete without two things: visiting the Eiffel Tower and exploring a French pharmacy. French pharmacies have long been a treasure trove of skincare gems—the ingredient lists are short, the products non-irritating, and the chic packaging gives your shelfies an undeniable dose of French chic. While I’ve never actually been to France (it’s on the top of my post-COVID bucket list), I do have access to a pretty solid selection without having to travel overseas, thanks to my job....
