Awaken entered the world on January 6, yet early reviewers can’t say enough good things about the power-packed formula. “No one will know that you’re burning the candle at both ends with this,” wrote one person. “Dark circles faded away. Puffiness went poof! Disappeared. I definitely look more well rested, despite the few hours I manage to sneak in.” Most eye creams make you wait weeks, if not months to see results, but per shoppers who saw their puffy eye bags deflate “almost instantly,” this one’s cracked the code for fast consequences....

“You don’t need any product or any other tool,” says Shannon Davenport, the founder of the skincare company Esker Beauty. “It’s just you and the brush, which I think is why it’s such a satisfying process.” She has spent more than a decade researching consumer, design, and beauty trends, and she says dry brushing is one of her favorite rituals because it’s time-tested and simple. One small warning: “It can be quite scratchy and stimulating using a brush on your dry skin,” she says....

What Are New Potatoes? New potatoes are potatoes that are dug up early in the season—they’re softer, with wispier skins, and smoother, often creamier textures than their adult counterparts, yet they’re mature enough to eat and taste delicious. Any potato can be a new potato, as long as it’s harvested at the right time. And just because a potato is small, doesn’t mean it’s a new potato—creamers, fingerlings, red potatoes, and more may be bred to be smaller in size, but are harvested at full maturity—like a cherry tomato compared to a beefsteak....

Those of a certain age will, of course, remember the 1990s dot-com boom and all the millionaires that were created thanks to stock options. Among the most notable recent examples is Tesla, founded by now-billionaire Elon Musk. Like so many other companies in the tech space, Tesla offers stock options as part of compensation packages. But in the case of the pricey electric vehicle maker, the options are offered to all employees, not just executives or managers....

However, as with any permanent cosmetic treatment, veneers are a big commitment, so it’s important that you know what you’re getting into and which veneer type you want. We tapped multiple dental experts to help you navigate your veneer decision. What Are Veneers? Simply put, veneering is the process of placing a thin shell of material over a tooth to change its color, size, shape, or texture. “A well-designed set of veneers will improve a smile and provide major lip support....

Similar to the guessing game with jellybeans, you can also fill just one large glass container with candy eggs and have guests estimate how many are inside. The closest number (without going over) wins a prize!

This season, Girlfriend Collective has a premium selection of leggings in various lengths, styles, and colors. The brand’s sizing is inclusive, with designs that range from XS to 6XL. I’m currently eyeing the Compressive Pocket Legging, available in five “essential” shades—Plum, Midnight, Black, Moss, and Earth—as well as one limited-edition hue called Lollipop that’s a bright, warm “true” red. The shade’s simply made for the holiday season, but it looks good year-round, too....

The researchers examined the data of 968 participants of the Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study (MSLS), which looks at cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive functioning in adults. The participants ranged in age from 23 to 98. A Nutrition and Health questionnaire was used to measure the participants’ demographics and lifestyle characteristics, as well as their dietary intake. They self-reported how frequently they consumed a list of foods, including meat, fish, eggs, breads, vegetables, nuts, and chocolate....

There’s a commonly held belief that if you pluck it, many more grays will follow in its wake. This is actually a myth—what you do to a single strand can’t spread like contagion. “The surrounding hairs will not turn white until their own follicles’ pigment cells die,” says Trey Gillen, hairstylist and creative director of education at SACHAJUAN. Reasons Not to Pluck Gray Hair There are almost zero benefits to the temporary departure of a gray strand, and you might actually cause some damage....

This ‘healthy food’ category also presents a very limited view of health and how food influences your health, says Sherry Lin, RDN, registered dietitian at Your Life Nutrition. What’s typically labeled as healthy fast food is often talking about food that benefits physical health. “Health for me is more holistic,” Sherry says. “It’s more than what the food does for me physically—it’s also how food impacts my mental, emotional, social, and cultural health....

How Often to Clean Copper Copper reacts slowly with the oxygen in the air—a process called oxidation. The process produces copper oxide, a brown or black compound, or tarnish. Eventually, other chemicals from the atmosphere like sulfur will turn the “tarnish” blue or green. How often you should clean your copper pans and other pieces depends on how shiny you wish to keep them. If you love a brighter shine, clean the pieces every three months....
