I came to cast iron reluctantly, as a sacrifice for the planet and my health on par with my decision to use mediocre laundry detergent and pasty sunscreen. I was too crunchy for nonstick, so I bought a heavy pan that I couldn’t wash, like the environmental martyr I aspired to be.

I remember the first time I ever heard of laundry bluing. I was a tween reading one of the Anastasia Krupnik books in Lois Lowry’s beloved series. Krupnik had a penchant for hilarious mishaps, so when she added something called bluing to a load of white laundry, I braced for the worst. But no disaster ensued. After consulting a dictionary, I learned that bluing was a type of whitener, so there was no need for concern after all.

Although I’m never not in the mood to jump right into fall as soon as August hits, I’m trying to learn to appreciate the late summer and not rush through it. And these plates from Dollar Tree are helping me do just that. Spotted by a Dollar Tree Instagrammer, these gorgeous dishes would look so beautiful on a late summer dinner table and are totally leaning into the coastal, beachy aesthetic.

It may still be firmly summer, but The Home Depot is already thinking ahead — like, way ahead, and I’m not mad about it. The home and hardware store just launched its holiday collection today, and you can finally get your hands on last year’s viral pre-lit faux Grand Duchess Christmas Tree, as well as tons of other faux greenery, outdoor Christmas decorations, inflatables, lights, and more.

I usually travel in spring and early summer, so I don’t always get around to starting my garden until summer is in full swing — maybe you can relate! To complicate matters, I sometimes plant my late-summer garden in a cold-weather region of France, where I live part-time, and sometimes in mild San Francisco. But this doesn’t bother me at all, since I have learned over the years that it is entirely possible to plant (and grow!) veggies and flowers in August, no matter what part of the country you call home.

Laundry? Yeah, it’s probably my least favorite chore. If there’s any way to avoid doing laundry, I’ll take it — no question. It’s not just that the process is tedious and annoying, although it definitely is, but I also don’t have nearly enough storage space for all my clothes. The thought of going through them to declutter sounds even worse. And, let’s be honest, bending over to pull clothes out of the laundry basket? Not exactly my idea of fun.

Eight years ago, I packed for the ultimate honeymoon around Italy. My husband and I traveled from Venice through Florence and Rome before logging beach time around the Amalfi Coast. Being the fashion girl that I am, I planned my outfits, shoes, and accessories well in advance — all with a theme and carefully considering each day’s activities (like a farfalle print dress for a pasta-making class in Firenze).

Roselyn Quell moved to Cleveland “on a whim” in March of 2024, after falling in love after only one visit to the city! “Somehow, I managed to sell my home in Erie within a day, buy this house immediately after, and move in within two weeks,” she writes. “When there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

As a small-space dweller, I love seeing how other renters optimize their apartments, either in TikTok videos or in Apartment Therapy’s House Tours. It’s true that the less space you have to work with, the more creative you get with how you use it. I’m always especially impressed by how people break up studios or apartments with open floor plans. Some place bookshelves in the middle of long rooms and adorn them with plants and other decor. Other people opt for curtains, which can give the apartment a breezy, ethereal feel. But if you’re looking to divide up your own space, you don’t necessarily have to go to such lengths to do it.

Soul food, a favorite from the South, is loved by many Floridians who used to live up North. Florida is home to popular soul food places like Seth's and Happy Soul. Unfortunately, another favorite, Angel's Soul Food in Sanford, has been closed after a state inspection.

Since spring, you might have put your garden on autopilot, doing minimal tasks like running the sprinkler through dry spells or adding a little fertilizer here and there (and no shame in that — lazy gardening is gardening too!). But even though outdoor temperatures still indicate summertime, routines are now settling in as the days slowly get shorter. That means there are some fall-related tasks you might want to start thinking about in your garden.

When it comes to corn chips, Fritos reign supreme — and it’s easy to see why they’ve garnered a massive fan base for decades. They’re far thicker and sturdier than many tortilla chips with a satisfying crunch that rivals even the best kettle chips. Fritos Scoops are the ultimate vessel for dips, and the Honey BBQ Flavor Twists are a must-buy snack at the gas station. They are also a beloved topper on chili or the base for a hearty dinner in the classic frito pie. While I don’t have them often, I will absolutely snack on them if they’re around.
