The Retro DIY Trick I Use to Keep My Home Smelling Like a Magical Woodland All Winter Long

But sometimes smells can be a little trickier. There’s always the classic candle for winter vibes, or even a simmer pot. But for my part, I like to use an old-school DIY trick to keep my home smelling like the perfect blend of cinnamon, rosemary, clove, citrus, and pine around the holidays: making my own scented logs.

I Tried the Viral Holiday Pool Noodle Hack — Here's What You Need to Know Before You Try It

In the summer, my family loves to spend as much time outdoors as we can — especially in the pool. All of our pool toys go into storage once the season is over, and I haven’t generally given them a second thought until spring. But a few years ago, when pool time was long over, I was getting my boxes of holiday decorations out of the garage and some pool noodles rolled off the top shelf from where the summer supplies are stored. I had a “eureka” moment: These could get a second life through my hol...

Reynolds Settles the Debate: This Is How Many Times You Can Reuse Parchment Paper

It’s the time of year when everyone is in the kitchen baking cookies. Flour, butter, and sugar are ready to be mixed, shaped, and shared. Savvy bakers know that a key ingredient for batches of perfect cookies is a roll of parchment paper.

A layer of parchment paper underneath cookie dough will allow it to bake more evenly. The nonstick quality will help prevent baked goods from cracking or breaking when sliding a spatula under them and lifting them off the baking sheet when they are finished. A

Why You Should Never Line the Bottom of Your Oven With Foil

Maybe you just cleaned the oven or you just had a brand new one delivered. We love baking but no one likes to make a mess to leave behind in the oven that needs to be cleaned yet again.

The Sneaky Way Fast Food Restaurants Are Getting You To Spend More Money
