Along with spurring many to begin working remotely, the pandemic led to an increase in people forgoing the gym for home workouts. The phenomenon has been well documented by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and recent studies, including one that found two in three Americans discovered they don’t need a gym to stay in shape because of the pandemic. So instead of starting the new year with a gym membership, you might consider revamping your home workout setup with a few new pieces of exercise equipment....
The Alo Yoga Airbrush High-Waist Bootcut Leggings are made with what the brand calls its sculpting performance Airbrush material, which is incredibly soft, comfortable, and sculpting thanks to its compressive four-way stretch that holds you in without pinching or squeezing.

In fact, these pajamas are so cooling, they almost feel icy to the touch. To buy: from $40; soma....

Adding the rum at the end ensures the alcohol doesn’t burn off during cooking. However, the hot cider tastes great even without the rum if you want a non-alcoholic version. Don’t be intimidated by the molasses section in the grocery store. You might see molasses labeled “unsulphured” or “blackstrap.” Either will work well here, but blackstrap tends to be more bitter.
