To buy: $19; amazon.com. For something so ubiquitous in recipes and meals, garlic can easily be forgotten as the ingredient to spice up and add a hint of oomph to your pasta, chicken with potatoes, and more. That makes keeping a few heads in your kitchen all the more worth it, so keeper jars that make it last longer can be unbelievably helpful. It’s especially important to use jars that promote air circulation, so the best options—like Fox Run’s garlic jar—have ventilation holes to keep garlic fresh and dry....

To buy: $20; amazon.com. “Absolutely in love with this dress. The high quality, soft, stretchy fabric is cut just right so that the dress hangs in a way that is non-clingy,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The quality of this dress is spot on, and the fit is so very, very comfy,” added another delighted shopper. The swing dress is available in 15 solid colors, neutral patterns, and even a few bright styles in sizes XS to XXL....

If you order the bag now, you’ll receive it before Christmas. But holiday travel is not all this lightweight carrier is good for—you can also bring it along to tailgates, potlucks, picnics, and other year-round events. If you plan on bringing a few casserole pans to a function, there’s even a double decker option that holds multiple dishes at once. To buy: $18 with coupon (was $20); amazon.com “So on Christmas Eve, we packed some hot dessert into [the carrier] and covered it in foil to take to my son’s house,” one shopper wrote....

This midi dress is ideal for outdoor events and spring functions; it’s designed with a lightweight and breathable rayon fabric that won’t cling to your body, allowing you to wear it even on the warmest spring days. Although it’s relatively thin, shoppers consider the dress to be high quality due to its soft texture and lining that makes it non-sheer. It’s also extremely flowy and allows the breeze to cool you down as you walk....

While a standard countertop is simply a horizontal slab, a waterfall counter also has stone edges that drop down to the floor. The look is decidedly luxe, but because it requires much more stone than a traditional counter, it can easily eat up a kitchen renovation budget. Also, to get the edge of the counter to look perfectly seamless, the fabricators typically use a computer numerical control laser cutter, a process that adds a steep extra expense (starting at about $1,000)....

Utopia Bedding is known for its high-quality bedding and bath products, which range from comforters and sheets to fluffy towel sets that are also well-priced. This flannel fleece blanket is yet another addition to its wrapped-in-comfort lineup, made from 100 percent polyester with a luxurious two-sided pile. To create your warmest experience, choose from a four-option size range designed with your bed in mind, including a fleece throw blanket (60 by 50 inches) all the way up to a king-size fleece blanket (102 by 90 inches)....

Post-Invisalign, it became nearly impossible to find a toothbrush soft enough to use on my teeth without simultaneously spitting out a pool of blood. And I could forget about flossing—the sawing motion of thread would feel like blades slicing at my gums, and I was left with no choice but to put a pause on my formerly impeccable interdental habits. As much as I wanted to be content with my simplified oral routine, I couldn’t get my dentist’s words out of my head: Not flossing is the same thing as letting bacteria throw a block party on your teeth (ick)....

Three Ships is a woman-owned, high-quality, affordable, and sustainable skincare brand that harnesses the power of naturally-derived ingredients. I read tons of reviews and was intrigued by the fact that other sensitive-skinned folks saw astounding results without irritation. The brand offered me a sample to try about a month ago, and it’s been in my skincare rotation since. You can grab a jar of 30 sets (or 60 patches) of the Brighter Days Eye Masks for $29, but for today only, Three Ships’ Cyber Monday BOGO Sale means you can buy one and get one free....

This cable management tray, though, instantly made my space look and function better. I no longer have to reach down to grab my phone charger, the thick wires from my monitors no longer snake around near my feet, and the big block for my laptop charger is out of sight. To buy: $24; amazon.com. The installation process for the tray is quite easy—there’s even a printable cut-out template you can follow to make the process painless....

TikTok, as a platform, is incredibly creator-friendly. (Facebook, on the other hand, has become more and more business-focused.) There are thousands of financial education videos on the platform, providing advice and guidance to pay off debt, save, invest, and more. The majority of these videos—my own money education videos included—are passionate about financial education as a form of protest, and making money conversations inclusive. TikTok is the only main social platform that currently has more people consuming content than creating it—and it’s the future of personal finance education....

The moment these trays start to overflow, it’s a signal to relocate extra spices to the cabinet or finally tackle that paperwork. Rather than attempting to maintain a flawless countertop all 365 days of the year (a worthy, but entirely unrealistic goal), the tray method makes your kitchen look perpetually tidy without daily organizing. We Tried It! Our former editor-in-chief, Liz Vaccariello, put this trick to the test. To reclaim her kitchen counter from her #clutterhusband (“a neat but prolific pile maker”), Liz introduced a rectangular tray to collect everything from mints to medicine bottles....

In just 15 virtual minutes, here’s what I learned: getting older isn’t something you should fear, you don’t have to feel pressured into taking care of yourself by yourself, and blue mascara only looks cute when a professional does it. For starters, congratulations on the partnership! Can you tell me what about L’Oreal’s new campaign speaks to you—and why you find this partnership meaningful? Viola Davis: You know, I think what gets me is L’Oréal’s commitment to women of all ages and all colors....

Like the brand’s eye gel, the face mask comes in an unassuming white container with a silver lid. Inside, you’ll find a lightweight cream made of Australian pink clay and packed with moisturizing glycerin, soothing shea butter, and antioxidant-rich vitamins E and C. It also has something called retinyl palmitate, a gentle type of retinoid derived from vitamin A that acts as an exfoliator and helps unclog pores. These ingredients work together to exfoliate the skin and minimize pores while brightening overall complexion....

Designed to be worn every day, Warner’s This Is Not a Bra is made from a combination of nylon and spandex. It has full-coverage cups that lift and shape but don’t let you spill over, plus an underwire that’s encased in an extra layer of satin, so it won’t dig or poke into your skin. Reviewers say that “the bra line doesn’t show under T-shirts”—which means it can work for a variety of different tops, including silk blouses, thick sweaters, and button-ups....
