I SHOULD HAVE RENOVATED my kitchen three years ago. Maybe four. When the ice maker died and the back left burner stopped lighting, that should have been a clue. Other signs: the rubber seal on the fridge door fraying and the spring on the dishwasher door giving out. I was in renovation denial. There were so many aesthetic decisions, financial decisions, the inevitable design disagreements with my husband. And, of course, the reality of living without a kitchen was daunting! The upside of my renovation procrastination was that I had more time to save and shop around for the right contractor and appliances and discounts. That’s right. You might think the editor in chief of Real Simple waves a magic wand and, voilà, a new kitchen appears (thank you…

DIOR ADDICT LIP TATTOO These vibrant tints go on like creamy gloss (no mirror needed) but dry in seconds to become a transfer-proof stain that lasts an impressive 10 hours. Our tester was shocked she never had to reapply. The brush deposits a comfy watercolor-like veil onto lips so you always look done—but not overdone. HELLO BPA-FREE TOOTHBRUSH WITH CHARCOAL BRISTLES One: It looks chic in a cup next to your sink. Two: Its supersoft, tapered charcoal bristles make brushing efficient and painless. DESIGN. ME HOLD.

1 MAKE USE OF WALL SPACE Keep shovels, hoses, and other equipment off the floor and within reach on wall-mounted racks. Organize zones by season and rotate when appropriate. 2 CREATE EASY ACCESS Display large or frequently used tools on a sturdy steel pegboard for grab-and-go efficiency. 3 CATEGORIZE DRAWERS Put power tools and accessories in one drawer and hand tools and attachments in another. Stash fasteners and hardware in old jars or takeout containers. 4 SUBDIVIDE SHELVES Maximize shelf space with bins that corral balls, small gardening gear, and other utilitarian supplies. Also, if you buy household goods in bulk, a shelving system lets you quickly check what you have and what needs restocking. 5 PROTECT YOUR STUFF Place holiday decor and other rarely used items in airtight…

1 STOP SPOT-TREATING YOUR ZITS “If you get regular breakouts, treat your whole face as opposed to just the zit,” says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “This way, rather than playing catch-up, you can prevent pimples from developing to begin with. The face is made up of thousands of pipes connecting oil glands to the skin’s surface, and we don’t know which one will become clogged next. Apply a pea-size amount all over before bed.” WE LIKE: Differin Acne Treatment Gel, $12; target.com. 2 PAIR YOUR SPF WITH AN ANTIOXIDANT “Antioxidants are like insurance policies on your sunscreen,” says Zeichner. “They help reduce any inflammation. Apply one under your sunscreen during the day, then slather…

1 HAVE A STRATEGY Stick to this no-fail formula for a weeklong trip: Pack one dress, six tops, three bottoms, two bras (nude and black), two workout outfits, nine pairs of underwear and socks, and a set of pajamas, says Hitha Palepu, founder of the travel blog Hitha on the Go and author of How to Pack. Opt for clothing made of fabrics that are less likely to rumple, like ponte, stretch denim, and polyester blends. Choose two pairs of shoes—three, max. For most locales, you’ll be fine with sneakers, heels, and sandals or flats. 2 MAKE A LIST IN ADVANCE Start thinking about specific garments a week before you depart to sidestep snafus. “This will give you plenty of time to do laundry, collect dry cleaning, and make…

“You always have a choice to make someone’s day better or worse. Choose wisely.” —JESSICA L., MOTHER OF TWO, GREENLAWN, NEW YORK “The only things you’re in charge of are your effort and your attitude.” —BRIG S., FATHER OF TWO, NASHVILLE “Just show up.” —ANNETTE UVENA, MOTHER OF TWO, HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK “You are capable of great things. That’s why I expect great things.” —CHRISTI WAMPLER, MOTHER OF TWO, KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE “Please and thank you are two of the most powerful things you can say. Say them often.” —SEAN PHILLIPS, FATHER OF ONE, NEW ORLEANS “Always look deeper than the beauty on the outside.” —JENNIFER BERDING, MOTHER OF TWO, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY “The harder choice is almost always the right choice.” —ADRIENNE PORZIO, MOTHER OF TWO, PITTSBURGH “You become an…

K.K. ASKS… Thirty years ago, I married into a large family that gathers frequently, often at my house. I’ve started to resent one branch of the family for their failure to do anything to help. They’ve never hosted, cleared a table, emptied the trash, or even washed one dish! At first I attributed this laziness to youth, but after three decades, these ladies are now all wives and mothers, and I have seen no improvement. The rest of the family will make requests like “Let’s all pitch in,” but they fall on deaf ears. Do you have any advice for how to fix this 30-year problem? If I were a young woman in a large family where the presumption was—as it seems to be in yours—that only the women…

When we feel tense or anxious, we tend to tighten our jaw, furrow our brow, or purse our lips. Just relaxing the face can shift our mood. Close your eyes and feel the air rushing past the tip of your nose. Notice how feeling the breath right there softens the throat. Imagine your inhale inflating your cheekbones just a little bit. With each exhale, allow your cheeks to get softer and heavier. Feel the jaw relaxing. Can the corners of your eyes get heavier too? Ever so slightly, lift the corners of your mouth. Take 10 breaths, giving the small muscles of the face some time to unclench, and notice your mood becoming a little lighter.…

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH: For the most hygienic and effective cleaning, experts recommend starting fresh every three to four months or when you notice the bristles becoming frayed. If you’re keen to cut down on waste, consider Quip (from $25; getquip.com), a service that mails you a fresh head to pop onto the same handle every three months. SHOWER LOOFAHS: The synthetic mesh you use to get your body clean can also be a breeding ground for bacteria. Hanging it to drip-dry will help, but you’ll still want to swap in a fresh one every two months. KITCHEN SPONGE: Microbiologists have found that kitchen sponges can harbor 82 billion bacteria per cubic inch—and the strongest bugs survived even after the sponge was microwaved. Toss and replace every one to two weeks.…

Canned tuna has come a long way since the mayo-laden sandwiches of our youth. You can find great-tasting, sustainably caught tuna right at your local grocery store—no special ordering necessary. Check the label for “pole and line caught” (or “pole caught”) and the blue Marine Stewardship Council seal, two good signs you’ve chosen an environmentally friendly variety. Unmold tuna on top of crunchy romaine or incorporate it into a bracing Niçoise-inspired pasta salad. Tuna cakes that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside hit the spot eaten alone or on a toasted bun. And who knew a sophisticated canapé, salty with capers and cream cheese, could come from a tin can? Quick Ideas 1 TUNA-ORECCHIETTE SALAD Toss 12 oz. canned tuna with 8 oz. cooked orecchiette, 1½…

UNCOMMON SOLUTIONS TO EVERYDAY PROBLEMS For parlor-worthy scoops, take the ice cream out of the freezer five minutes before serving, says Lauren Wilson, founder of Sweet Lo’s Handmade Ice Cream in Seattle. If it’s a pint container, pull the scooper around the outer edge for a perfect sphere. Have a quart or gallon container? Start away from your body and pull the scoop toward you. Try to skim the scooper across the top instead of digging in. Another trick: Dip your scooping tool in water between scoops to prevent ice cream from sticking to it, says Bella Loggins, director of retail operations for McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams. Before returning the sweet stuff to the back of the freezer (never the door), add a piece of waxed paper under the…

NOT LONG AGO, MY ELDERLY MOTHER, Anahid, was watching CNN on her beige sofa when an ambulance screamed outside her home, drowning out the sound of the newscast. A fire engine whined, too, both vehicles screeching to a stop that September afternoon. Frantic shouts followed, prompting my 85-year-old mother to peek through the arched windows at the commotion. Cars have always collided at this accident-prone intersection in Los Feliz, a Los Angeles neighborhood adjacent to Hollywood, and in the pre-cellphone era, she used to usher the dazed drivers inside to use her phone and calm down with a glass of water. “What is going on?” she asked the swarm of strangers after exiting her house. “Some old man just died,” replied one. “No one knows who he is.” My…

WORK, MONEY, AND HEALTH ADVICE FOR BUSY PEOPLE It seems whenever we pay for something—whether ski rentals and cellphones or concert tickets and car rentals—we’re asked whether we want to fork over more money to safeguard our purchase. And while playing it safe is a good life mantra, those $10 to $100-plus extras add up. “For in-the-moment purchases, providers capitalize on your fear of the unknown,” says Jennifer Fitzgerald, cofounder and CEO of Policygenius, an online insurance marketplace. Anxiety about being liable for the unexpected (a hurricane? a car crash?) and taking a hit to our savings drives us to say yes, she says. But insurance is not always necessary. Our guide breaks it down. Furry Family Members PET INSURANCE Buy it. “It’s heartbreaking to watch families have to…

APPLIANCES Refrigerator MAKE-IT-LAST HABIT: Condenser coils—the large, radiator-like element at the back of or under the appliance—remove heat from your refrigerator and freezer. When dust and dirt stick to the coils, the machine can’t shed heat as efficiently, which can mean higher utility bills and costly repairs. Check the owner’s manual to see how often to clean the coils; use your vacuum’s brush attachment. TROUBLESHOOTING: If your refrigerator sounds like it’s straining, make sure the condenser coils are clean, there’s at least one inch between the fridge and the wall for adequate air flow, and the gasket (door seal) is not dry or cracking. Dishwasher MAKE-IT-LAST HABIT: Adhesives from jars of jelly or pasta sauce can clog the filter and hose. So can the oils and dirt from things…

Paint Your Front Door GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES. You’ll need a drop cloth, a bucket, a sponge, dishwashing liquid, dry rags, a medium-grit sanding sponge, a vacuum, painter’s tape, primer, spackling paste or wood filler, a 1½- to 2-inch angled brush, a high-density mini foam roller, and paint in your chosen color. FOR A SMOOTH PAINT JOB, take the door off the hinges and lay it over a pair of sawhorses, says painter Brian Bedenbaugh of Blue Sky Painting in Rochester, New York, and the site Thumbtack. If painting outdoors, do so in the early morning or late afternoon (direct sun speeds up drying, which can cause bubbling). Tape cardboard across the empty door opening or install a baby gate to prevent kids and pets from wandering through. Remove hardware…

How to Make the Best Grilled Corn Want sweet, juicy, lightly charred grilled corn? Start by picking the best ears at the market. If you can, buy local; the sugar in corn begins converting into chewier starch as soon as the ears are picked. Look for firm, green husks and yellow to light brown silk tips. When you’re ready to grill, keep it simple: Cook over medium-high, rotating the cobs often, until kernels are evenly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. For the smokiest flavor, pull back the husks and remove the silks before grilling (or remove the husks altogether). For less-charred flavor, steam the corn by pulling the husks back over the kernels before grilling. How to Grill Fish Without Having It Fall Apart HEAT, CLEAN, AND SEASON YOUR…

MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS IN A MODERN WORLD WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, my dad—a former air traffic controller—constantly urged me, “Make a decision and make it work.” It was his way of encouraging me to stop second-guessing myself, which I was all too prone to do, and to realize I was in control of my life. I follow his advice to this day. (He also used to say, “Don’t f—up. And if you do, don’t get caught,” but that’s a story for another time.) Despite my dad’s wisdom, the only phrases on repeat in my own house these days seem to be “Keep your hands to yourself!” and “Don’t forget to wipe!” Not exactly inspiring. “We constantly repeat ourselves as parents, whether we’re imparting wisdom or not,” says Zelana Montminy,…

I used to be distracted with work for the first few days of every vacation because I don’t turn it off and on easily. Now I know that I have to have a system in place to release work thoughts. When I’m with my family, we bookend the trip with some kind of relaxing activity. We might sleep in on the first and last days, at a minimum. We don’t schedule anything. That helps me put away the work thoughts and transition into relaxing. Being intentional about the transition is so important to me. One goal I have when I vacation is to stop multitasking and just focus on a single thing at a time. I use the vacation to experiment with letting go of the world I’ve…

POD COFFEE MAKER: Filters usually need to be changed about every two months; check the owner’s manual to be sure. VACUUM: If you vacuum weekly, wash the filter in soapy water once a month and let air-dry. The filter should be replaced annually. STOVE HOOD: Aluminum grease filters should be cleaned every three months with soap and warm water. Charcoal filters need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months. HUMIDIFIER PANEL: Replace the filter once each heating season. FURNACE: In general, if you have one- or two-inch filters, change them every month or two. Thicker filters should be swapped out every three to six months. If you have pets, lean toward more frequent replacements. BATHROOM FAN: Clean it twice a year. If the fan cover can be removed,…
