The table seats eight people comfortably when it’s fully extended by way of a two-foot leaf that hides sleekly underneath the solid acacia wood top.

An appliance garage cabinet can be any space that tucks countertop appliances—think microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, and the like—out of sight. They often sit on countertops, as an extension of upper cabinets but can also be part of a floor-to-ceiling cabinetry installation or a pantry. Morley von Sternberg/ArcaidImage/Getty Images Calling appliance garages a trend might be generous—they’re more of a design or storage tool, like kitchen islands, whereas farmhouse kitchen décor could rightfully be called a trend....

This Wednesday, Quaker Oats (owned by PepsiCo) announced that it will be retiring the 130-year-old Aunt Jemima brand and logo. “We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Kristin Kroepfl, the VP and CMO of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release cited by CNBC. “As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers’ expectations....

But budgeting can be easier said than done. It can be hard to figure out how to get started, and even harder to stay on track. Maybe you’ve remembered to budget for your kids’ sports registration fees, but not their uniforms—or maybe you’ve budgeted for gas, but not to replace your windshield’s glass when it cracks. That’s where backward budgeting comes in. It’s a technique that economists say is the best way to make a realistic budget....

The Best Food at Disney World If you didn’t know already, I’m a bit obsessed with Disney. Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Disney movies, and Disneyland. Anything Disney, I’m in. One of my favorite things about Disney is the food. Give me all the Mickey shaped food. And all the Dole Whips. I even have a collection of Disney food pins. It’s kind of the only thing I really collect, everything else in our Disney pin collection is kind of a mashup of everything my son thinks is cute....

Envision this: Instead of a pile of half-finished notebooks and random Post-Its cluttering your desk, you would have one notebook. One single journal that acts as the ultimate to-do list. Founder Ryder Carroll, the man behind the bullet journal, says the concept was almost 20 years in the making. “The roots of the bullet journal came from me having a lot of problems learning in school, especially when it came to taking notes,” Carroll says....

This past year has been no different. With the dawn of the coronavirus pandemic came a major switch in our wardrobe. High heels were replaced with comfortable slippers, and loungewear replaced workwear. Though we expected to see clothing companies shift over to the production of gloves and face masks, we didn’t anticipate the rise of stylish, germ-fighting clothes. Antibacterial clothing is the newest category that retailers are implementing to appeal to anxious shoppers....

A recent study from Principal Financial Group showed that about three in 10 workers have concerns about not being able to retire when they want to. As daunting as the retirement readiness question may be, it’s one that most of us will have to address sooner or later. Of course, you can answer this question with some degree of certainty. To help you with the deliberations, we asked financial advisors and retirement experts for guidance on how best to determine whether you’re ready to draft a permanent “out of office” reply....

Avocados are incredibly nutritious, versatile, and they taste kind of like butter. What’s not to love? Well, their shelf life is pretty undesirable. What’s more, these little fruits are pricey. Having to waste a ripe—or even overripe—avocado is the worst. So we’re here to answer the question all avocado lovers want to know: Can you freeze avocados? Yes, if you do so correctly. How to Freeze Avocados Follow the simple steps below to properly freeze your extra avocados, then put them to use in these delicious smoothie recipes....

Cariuma, the under-the-radar shoe brand beloved by shoppers, has launched three new colors of its ultra-popular Oca Low sneakers. Now available for pre-order in bright pink, violet, and tangerine, the bold shoes are perfect for standing out in a sea of white sneakers. The Oca Low shoes have racked up a 34,000-person waitlist in the past, according to Cariuma, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the three new colors sell out before you know it....

A few months ago I tested out a whole bunch of different cookie recipes. Peanut butter blossoms, cut out sugar cookies, and even some chocolate chip pudding cookies. All of them are super yummy but out of all of the recipes that I tried, these Rolo cookies are the ones I still crave all the time. I haven’t made them since mostly because I ate the entire batch, with a little help from my neighbors and toddler....

Consider installing a large mirror along one wall to visually expand the limits of the room. If placed strategically, a tall rectangular mirror can even give the illusion of a room beyond the room. And in a cramped kitchen, consider placing a mirror behind the sink to give the impression of a window. Plus, this placement will let you see the rest of the room while you’re washing dishes. RELATED: These Stylish Furniture Pieces Have Secret Storage—And They’re Absolutely Genius Finally, avoid the temptation to line up all of the furniture along the walls in hopes of showing off empty space in the middle of the room, a move that will only make the room awkward to navigate....

The lazy girl in me tries to air dry as much as possible, but preferably without having a mop of hair clinging to my shirt. So I found the best solution in Crown Affair’s The Hair Towel, and nothing has been as game changing for my hair care routine like this. The brand sent the towel to me to test at the end of last September, and I’d had it on my social media radar for a while prior to receiving it for trying....
