You might already know about Evolvetogether’s popular disposable face masks—the ones that have historically sold out quickly due to demand, and racked up waitlists tens of thousands of people long in anticipation of their next release. But the brand has another pandemic-friendly product that customers are (virtually) lining up to buy: an anti-fog cloth called the Fog Eraser. It’s a reusable dry cloth that uses nanotechnology (yes, really) to prevent fog and remove bacteria from hard surfaces for up to 24 hours....

Take a Virtual Tour of the Real Simple Home Here! “We wanted to take the original kitchen and give it some life!” she says. “We are not afraid of playing with color, texture, and metals, so our goal was to marry the coastal theme with a traditional modern aesthetic.” The kitchen had a great foundation to start, but Gina’s aim was to improve the flow of the space and add much-needed storage....

Trying new restaurants and sampling different cuisines is one of my favorite things to do, but I also love to cook at home. I consider myself to be an adequate amateur chef (if that’s even a thing). From researching recipes, to creating weekly menus, and picking out provisions (aka grocery shopping)—I find that making home-cooked meals is both gratifying and therapeutic. For the sake of our health and being fiscally responsible, I try to cook at home five to six nights a week....

In a video that got over half a million likes on TikTok, user @simplysalfinds shared how much they love it. At first glance, Homca’s cushion certainly doesn’t look like any ordinary pillow. The memory foam pillow has a unique shape that keeps the user’s head and neck propped up and aligned with their spine. Grooves on either side of the headrest make it more comfortable for users to roll over on their side and move their arm under their head—so it can be used by back, side, and stomach sleepers....

Recommended Washing Frequency The following recommendations are meant as general guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. Remember, a sniff check is still a quick and easy way to determine when it’s time for a wash. And of course, common sense applies here: Even if you can get by with washing a particular shirt every five wears in the winter, you’ll have to wash it more often during the sweltering summer months....

According to Rose, the frequency at which you should wash your sheets boils down to the season and your nightly habits. “Your sweat level, what you wear to bed, and whether or not you snack in bed all affect how quickly your bedding gets sullied,” Rose says. “A woman sleeping in pajamas during a crisp spring is different from a sporty teenager who sleeps in boxers during a hot summer....

Thanks to us lazy people, it’s easier than ever to multitask with a single product. (Just remember to sanitize brushes and avoid cross contamination if you use the same product on a lip then an eye.) While no two capsules are exactly the same, here are a few common elements that experts say comprise an ideal capsule makeup collection. The rounded tip on the dome brush is multifaceted and can be used beyond shadow work....

Plus, spending a little time cleaning your brush will also help ensure it works better. The hair that gets stuck in the bristles can get in the way of allowing the brush to perform at its highest level and serve its intended purpose, notes Shelly Aguirre, a stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. The good news? Cleaning your hairbrush, no matter what kind it is, doesn’t have to be a complicated or time-consuming process....

How to Broil Hamburgers in the Oven If you don’t feel like dealing with your grill to make burgers, then your oven is the way to go. The broiler provides high, direct heat that cooks burgers quickly and gives them a nice char. How to Cook Hamburgers on the Stove Cooking hamburgers in a skillet may be the simplest method around, and it’s a delicious one, too; the burgers will cook in their own rendered fat, yielding juicy, flavorful meat....

Another way to keep guests from congregating around the bar—and to save money—is to serve “a signature drink that you can put in pitchers or dispensers with cups next to them” throughout your home. For the dining table, Lee suggests using your sofa as seating and putting a table next to it....

Odorous House Ants vs. Carpenter Ants Two of the most commonly seen ants inside a home are odorous house ants and carpenter ants. Odorous house ants are tiny (less than 1/8 inch in length), and while bothersome, don’t do much damage except ruin the sugar in your sugar bowl. You’ll see them marching in a line on your kitchen counters or bathroom wall. Carpenter ants, however, feed on damp wood and can cause significant damage....

As a result, endless articles and workplace initiatives have focused on how individuals can achieve work-life balance both in remote positions and in offices. But more recent trends are showing that workers are challenging where the responsibility lies. “What the ‘Great Resignation’ is showing us is that employees are demanding more from their employers than ever before,” says Emtrain CEO Janine Yancey. “And a work-life balance is now one of the most important factors in their decisions on where they will work....

The Center for American Progress reported that four times as many women than men dropped out of the labor force in September 2020—roughly 865,000 women compared with 216,000 men. The Washington Post, meanwhile, declared the coronavirus childcare crisis would set women back a generation; CNN said the United States job market may never be the same, as a result of all the mothers leaving the workforce to care for children....
