Winter is coming and with it, a lack of color! But just because all those winter conditions bringing blankets of snow cover so much of the color that breathes life into our daily doings, doesn’t mean we can’t add in some cool hues of our own to have our homes looking spring- and summer-like all year round.

While festive poinsettias are gorgeous and can add a pop of color, there are plenty of plants and flowers that can add vibrancy to your home’s style, especially during the holiday season. To help you figure it all out, we share some of the brightest and beautiful plant varieties that will thrive indoors this winter.

The forceful winds slapping you left, right and center can only mean one thing: winter is coming! And for most of us, that means lots of dry skin.

Our skin takes a beating not just from the punch of cold air outside, but the hot, dry air inside. The change in temperature leads to a dead skin graveyard sitting on our face all season long, dulling our appearance. Without the dramatics (or the legit. fear of a zombie complexion), just know it’s totally bad for your skin — especially when it starts to flake and get patchy.

It’s Thanksgiving time for those of us in the United States and in addition to a big holiday meal, there’s one thing that many Americans are looking forward to: Black Friday deals.

Retailers run some of their biggest, splashiest sales and specials on Black Friday, often prompting large crowds at brick and mortar stores and driving major online sales through the weekend — even into Cyber Monday. It’s a holiday weekend where many, many people will be buying many, many things as they try to score the best deal and clear up their Christmas lists to boot.

But all that shopping and its associated stuff can get overwhelming, which is why more and more people are turning to minimalism both as a guiding principle for consumerism and as an aesthetic for how they live their lives and operate their homes. So, as we gear up for Thanksgiving and before you dash out the door for Black Friday, here’s a brief overview of what minimalism is, and how it might help you keep your stress low, your wallet fuller, and your holiday happier this year.

Often seen as a comfort food that sticks to our bones during those cold winter months, soup has made a lasting impression on our dining tables. In many ways, soup is the one food that can hug you back.

The soup market has skyrocketed in the past five years, but it doesn’t come without controversy. While canned soups are an easy option to satiate our hunger in the dead of winter, many are concerned of the sky-high sodium levels. Not only does high sodium cause bloating and raise blood pressure, but it can also make you feel extremely lethargic. That’s no fun especially during these dark winter months.

Just in time for the colder weather, we help you get started on adding delicious, homemade soups to your weekly menu. From stews to chowders to the exotic, these recipes full of fiber, nutrition, and flavor are bound to keep you snug this winter. They’re so tasty you’ll need to make enough for leftovers!

There is no holiday season more identifiable with American traditions than Thanksgiving! And of course, one of the more cultural aspects to a solid holiday season like this month’s is a good beer to accompany every festive meal you’ll be gobbling up.

With Thanksgiving being all about a holiday that revolves around food, football and snacks, don’t just settle for any beer to complement your courses this year. Once the temperatures dip and the leaves start to turn, it’s time to welcome sweater weather and break out a nice, spiced and sweet, toasted brew that might even top grandma’s pumpkin pie served up after a mouthwatering turkey.

To help you make your decision this season, we take a look at six delicious pumpkin beers to enjoy the season and embrace all things pumpkin spice!
