The concept behind the magnets is painfully simple: Display the magnet on your dishwasher, and flip the magnet to the “clean” side when the dishes are clean, and the “dirty” side when the dishes are dirty. While you might be tempted to DIY this hack, these magnets come with an adhesive metal plate to keep your magnet secure because apparently, not all dishwashers are magnetic friendly. They’re also made of durable PVC material and a high-gloss polish that won’t damage your dishwasher....

Unlike most silverware holders that lay flat and take up the majority of a drawer, this “genius” find features a unique stacked design.

It turns out poor laundry habits can wreak havoc on your clothes, and according to Drew Westervelt, founder of hypoallergenic laundry detergent HEX Performance, the cardinal rule of washing clothes is one that’s regularly broken by even the most adept laundry pros. “Never ever use fabric softener,” he says. “Regular fabric softeners were not made for today’s workout clothes.” The reason for this is because most workout clothes are now made with synthetics, a new type of fabric that’s not well-suited to harsh softeners....

Dutch baby pancakes, with their crispy edges and soft, pancake-like centers, are the perfect blank slate for any number of flavors. Because I love anything given the Cacio e Pepe treatment, I decided to add Pecorino cheese and a lot of black pepper. The result is a five-ingredient dinner ready in just 25 minutes—and kids will not only love how it tastes, but they’ll have fun watching it puff in the oven....

Per the 2021 data, the number of Instacart orders containing chicken wings doubled during the week leading up to game day. This translates to 1 in 25 customers purchasing chicken wings prior to kickoff. What’s more? An Instacart survey found that Americans also have strong preferences regarding exactly how their game day wings are prepared. For example, 33 percent of respondents prefer fried wings over baked, which got 23 percent of the vote, while 39 percent of those surveyed enjoy a mix of both....

The shift from working in an office to working from home was sudden and unexpected for many, especially those who live in apartments or homes with rooms already serving a predetermined purpose. So, the must-have home accessory became a desk that could serve a dual décor purpose or be tucked into a smaller corner. From a desk that leans against the wall and looks like décor to a simple hutch, we found eight desks ideal for small spaces — and prices start as low as $63....

Dust the Air Vents If you have central air in your home, now is the time to dust the air vents. If not, all of the dust that has accumulated will circulate around the room when you switch on the AC. For a quick clean, use the nozzle or brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the outside of each air vent. For a deep cleaning, turn off your heating or air conditioning before unscrewing the air duct cover....

I’ve managed to squirm my way out of learning it over the years thanks to some nifty hair hacks that give me the soft waves I prefer (like sleeping in a braid), but the truth is, I’m so clueless around a curling iron and other heating tools, that recently at my friend’s wedding I had to ask a fellow bridesmaid to do my hair for me. To be frank, I don’t really think I’ll ever feel the urge to truly master using a curling iron....

As someone who dislikes the flavor of coconut, he was skeptical,but I reassured him he wouldn’t taste it. He warmed it in the microwave until it was liquefied, measured the specified amount, added it to the mix, and proceeded as usual....

But first, what is CBD oil? It’s one of the many naturally-occurring chemical compounds present in the flowers and leaves of cannabis plants, found in both marijuana and industrial hemp. Unlike THC (the psychoactive element of cannabis), CBD cannot get you high, no matter how much you take. CBD exists in endless creams, balms, and beauty products, but the most popular way to using the product is by consuming the oil itself....

We began this tradition because we lived away from extended family so Christmas Day always involved just the three of us....
