One of the most fun parts about my job as a shopping writer is discovering new brands, and I first heard about Quince from my friend and fellow lifestyle writer, Nina Huang. No sooner had Nina mentioned that she had tried and loved a few of Quince’s pieces than I found myself eagerly perusing the online retailer’s website. I learned that the brand’s mission is to create beautiful pieces you want to wear again and again, and the way Quince favors neutral color palettes makes that easy....

But those high highs come crashing down as soon as you see your beloved fruits and vegetables have spoiled. For me, it’s a race against the clock to eat as much as I can; otherwise, I have to toss half-full containers into the trash. (And I’m not alone—the United States chucks nearly 40 percent of its food each year.) While there’s nothing wrong with eating tons of fresh fruits and vegetables quickly, I jump on any trick or tool that promises to extend the life of my farmer’s market purchases....

These best-selling classic shorts from Levi’s that have more than 7,900 five-star ratings and get people tons of compliments are another popular option. The high-waisted shorts have a worn-in feel and provide a great fit, per shoppers. You can thank its cotton and elastane blend for that. The casual shorts have a slightly distressed fray at the hem and are available in 25 washes, including traditional options, like blue and light indigo, as well as fun colors, like washed lilac and pineapple....

There are a few names that make repeat appearances in my skincare routine, but after testing out several Clarins products, the brand has become the one I reach for the most. That’s thanks to its transparent ingredient lists and the simple fact that these products actually work and do what they say they will—a frustrating rarity in the world of skincare. These products, however, have made quick and noticeable changes to my skin, targeting and treating my three biggest skin concerns: dryness, acne, and fine lines....

In the video, Tinx said she was actually influenced by her friends, supermodels Sara Sampaio and Jasmine Tookes, to buy one for herself. So what’s so special about this “adult sippy cup?” Well, everything really, but I’ll start with the fact that the sleek look makes it hard not to buy. I bought my 20-ounce one in black and get asked about it all of the time. At this point, I’m pretty much doing PR for an insulated tumbler....

I love the combination of sweet and tart together. It’s probably the reason these cranberry orange muffins are one of my all-time favorite breakfast recipes! These sugared cranberries do just that – combine the tartness of a cranberry with a little crunchy sweet sugar. They’re one of my favorite holiday snacks and great for adding on top of things like this red velvet cake or adding to a holiday dessert board!...

How She Made the Built-Ins To construct this DIY storage solution, Basnight first planned out the space using painter’s tape on the wall, marking where each shelf, drawer, and clothing rod would go. Once the space was mapped out, it was time to start building. On her blog, she detailed the entire process, from choosing the materials (she went with maple plywood), to cutting each piece, to spray painting everything and installing the drawers....

Well, maybe not that last one. If toilet cleaning doesn’t quite fit into your list of beloved romantic activities, you’re not alone. And you feel pretty much the same way about taking out the trash, folding laundry, and vacuuming. Relationship buzz-kills, every last one. For its Modern Love and Household Responsibilities survey, Yelp asked 2,000 Americans with partners (split evenly between men and women) how chores affect their relationships—and more specifically, which chores they look forward to the least....

I spent the last few years overhauling my beauty bag to swap out my longtime go-tos for cleaner options in hopes that my acne and eczema would improve. Thankfully, my new investments paid off, but I struggled to find an impressive mascara until Honest Beauty sent me their two-in-one lash primer and mascara to test. After trying nearly a dozen other options that disappointed me, I was delighted to find an under-$20 option that met my new standards, lasted all day and through workouts (with no flaking or smudging) while making my lashes look long and thick....
