Better Homes & Gardens is a go-to resource for home ideas, food and recipes for everyday and special occasions, and garden know-how that can’t be rivaled. Our early magazines dealt almost exclusively with garden topics, but as the years—and our name and logo—progressed, we’ve been busy adding to our encyclopedia of home helpers. We built a first-of-its-kind “taste-testing kitchen” in 1928, and by the 1970s, we had over 7 million magazine subscribers....

Should you consider using aloe vera for more than just a topical solution for sunburn relief and start sipping the pulpy, thicker-than-water juice? Given that people have compared the taste to everything from laundry detergent to a more bitter wheatgrass, we thought it necessary to turn to experts to separate fact from fiction. What Is Aloe Vera Juice? “Aloe vera juice is extracted from the green outer leaf of the aloe vera plant,” says Rachel Berman, a registered dietician in New York City....

They might be called skirt hangers, but the Zober hangers can hold just about anything, including pants, dresses, and jackets. And the best part is, they’re on sale.

SUVs, for example, cost a lot more money than smaller cars—but what if you only want to drive one occasionally? Perhaps you need one for road trips in the summer, or for your kid’s baseball season, but the rest of the year a sedan works just fine. Car companies have been attempting to roll out their own versions of the popular subscription model for a while, and many consumers are very interested....

“The transition between seasons is a big contributor to skin changes,” says Howard Sobel, MD, board-certified dermatologist in New York City and founder of Sobel Skin. “When the temperature and humidity drop quickly, skin works harder to maintain its hydration.” The extra effort can lead to inflammation spikes, especially if you’re prone to skin conditions like rosacea. Add gruesome indoor heating and tiresome back-to-school schedules, and your skin is probably crankier than a kindergartener in school....

The good news? Correcting dry, dull, or irritated skin doesn’t have to be a hurdle, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. Good skincare requires so much more than a few pricey lotions and potions. Brighter, smoother skin starts with what you put in your body, rather than what you put on your body. We spoke to some experts for their take on how to brighten your skin from the inside, even when it’s cold, dark and gloomy outside....

Solution: Don’t put dirty rags back in the closet. It’s too hard to distinguish between clean and dirty ones. Launder them after use. Keep small clean rags in a hanging bag so you don’t have to worry about folding or stacking them. Larger towel rags can be stacked on a shelf. Solution: Position your vacuum cleaner front and center, so it’s easy in, easy out. Hang the hose on a hook to free up floor space and to keep from tripping over it....

Last year I shared some of my absolute favorite camp games. Little did I know that this year that camping and playing outdoor games with large groups would be restricted. Today I’m sharing a couple of printable camping games you can play with a smaller group or just your family. Or with larger groups when camp themed birthday party games and group campouts are a thing again! So grab yourself some cookie s’mores, build a candy campfire, and play these fun printable camping games for one of the best indoor campouts ever!...

Now, the platform has set its sights on a new space: job applications and the recruitment process—which, if truth be told could use a bit of modernization and rethinking anyway. In an announcement made earlier this month, the platform launched “TikTok Resumes,” a pilot program aimed at, in the brand’s words, “enhancing TikTok as a new channel for recruitment and job discovery.” Yes, you read that right: TikTok is branching into showcasing resumes, perhaps aiming to be the LinkedIn of a much hipper generation....

“Itchiness is another hallmark symptom,” says Joshua Zeichner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. “It usually develops on the inside of the elbows and behind the knees; however, it can occur almost anywhere on the body.” But eczema looks different on everyone, which is why it’s still a mystery to even the most well-versed dermatologists. While some only remember it as a childhood experience, others never seem to shake it off....

When it comes to making Christmas treats, there are three types in my mind. First, classic Christmas cookies like peanut butter blossoms, cut out sugar cookies, and ginger molasses cookies. Maybe even a little white chocolate sugar cookie fudge. Second, super easy Christmas treats like these chocolate thumbprint cookies and these Oreo truffles. These are the ones that you can whip up in just a few minutes! And third, fun Christmas cookies....

If you can’t find a trash can, Sharon Lowenheim from Organizing Goddess recommends reserving an outside pocket of your purse to stash wrappers and other refuse....

Now you have to decide how long of a cruise you want to go on and which ship.
