“Traditional rapeseed oil, once grown primarily for industrial purposes with levels of erucic acid greater than 45 percent, was eventually bred to an edible oil with less than 2 percent erucic acid. Canadians and Americans called this new oil canola oil,” explains Laura Cipullo, RD, founder of Laura Cipullo Whole Nutrition and Yoga. According to Cipullo, rapeseed oil is considered a close second to olive oil by many, especially when it comes to its benefits related to heart health....

I received a sample of the Dermora Foot Peel Mask last year to test out and, I have to admit, my expectations were low. My attitude didn’t change after I finished the mask and saw no change in the skin on my feet—but then a butterfly-like metamorphosis happened just a few days later.

The holidays are about to be in full swing and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with some Christmas cookies! These caramel cookies are one of my favorite additions to a holiday treat plate! These, peanut butter blossoms, and Oreo truffles. They’re so easy to make and they taste amazing. I don’t actually know where the trend of making salted caramel cookies started, but I love it....

“Wow! This stuff makes my skin so firm and smooth,” wrote a 32-year-old beginning to see fine lines. “This stuff tightens my skin and smooths out the wrinkles. It’s great as a leave-on overnight treatment.” If you haven’t used a pressed serum before, it feels slightly thicker than a gel or cream; reviewers describe the consistency as a cross between the original Hydro Boost and Vaseline. Thanks to that aspect, it keeps your skin hydrated through wintry temperatures—and just like Vaseline, a little goes a long way....

For those wondering where it gets its name from, Revlon confirms that the roller is made of volcanic stone that absorbs oil from the skin. Safe for use on the face, the roller is meant to be pressed lightly against the oilest areas of your skin. To buy: $10; amazon.com.

P.S. If sardines are a little too “fishy” for you, swap in olive-oil packed tuna. No matter what you choose, make sure to buy sustainably-fished sardines or tuna.

As avid Snapchat fans may know, this feature has already been put to use in several ways and can help users identify everything from dog breeds to wine labels, but this is the first time the feature has been applied to food ingredients....

There are very few cookies that we make over and over again in our house. Chocolate chip cookies, cut out sugar cookies, and these snickerdoodles. My oldest son LOVES snickerdoodles, so I had to find the perfect recipe for him to enjoy. These snickerdoodles are everything a snickerdoodle should be – soft, fluffy, chewy (no one wants crispy snickerdoodles), and super easy to make. Plus, they only use ingredients that most people keep in their houses regularly – butter, eggs, sugar, flour – you get it....
