Take the guesswork out of your Easter egg hunt this year by embracing natural egg dyes.

To make the process even more confusing, what you see on the walls may not stay consistent throughout the day. No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you: Different angles and lighting—natural or artificial—can dramatically transform a color. “That perfect pale grey during the day can sometimes look very violet or blue at night, which will drive you crazy over time,” says Erin Gates, designer and the blogger behind Elements of Style: Designing a Home & a Life....
To buy: $65 (was $90); amazon.com. New to the love of Uggs? Try their most classic style: the Women’s Koola Short Fashion Boot at 28 percent off.

“Pumpkin is bursting with health benefits beyond what you might think!” says Maggie Michalczyk, RDN, author of Once Upon a Pumpkin. It comes in at around 50 calories per cup and packs vitamins E, C, and A, as well as potassium and fiber.

Not every sweater set makes the cut. If you’re wearing it constantly, you’ll want a high-quality fabric and construction to last throughout the season without showing signs of wear. You’ll also want a timeless cut, minimal pilling, and a soft-to-touch feel that will make each moment feel indulgent. When Christy Dawn sent me the Carson Sweater and the Carson Pant to try, I relished in the combination. I received the set in a creamy oat color, but it also comes in a light brown cacao shade....

And with so many little fixes popping up in our new home, I was shopping on a budget, looking for something I could use for just about any recipe. Our editors adored the Our Place Perfect Pot’s eight-in-one clever, do-it-all capabilities, so I decided to put it to the test....
I was hesitant for two reasons: One, I assumed it wouldn’t work on my thick, coarse hair, and two, I wasn’t sure if it would style my hair to the same level of satisfaction as my usual trio of hot tools (blow dryer, straightener, and curling iron). Luckily, I have my sister, who’s been a professional hairstylist for five years and my personal hairdresser my whole life. She insisted I give it a try....
About 10 years ago, I was visiting a chef friend in Israel. She made a version of this tahini sauce for my toddler son, drizzled over cucumbers and radishes and served in a bowl. Liam was an adventurous eater, and I knew he liked cucumbers, but I figured he would ignore the radishes. But Liam finished the bowl—every last cucumber and radish—and asked for more! I credit it all to that sauce....
