We also know that a happy gut is a healthy gut. Although constipation can be linked to more serious medical conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it’s often our diet that is the culprit. The good news is, it’s not too difficult to start adding in the foods you need to keep things moving. Give it some time. “If you can make a consistent lifestyle change for two weeks, you’ll likely start to see some changes,” says Sanaa Arastu, MD, a gastroenterologist with Austin Gastroenterology....

And what does pasture-raised, free-range, and antibiotic-free even mean? We asked Yankel Polak, the head chef at ButcherBox (which delivers top-quality chicken, beef, and pork directly to your door) to answer some common chicken questions. Boneless Cuts Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: These are cut from the chest of the bird, with the tenderloin removed....

For that reason, I decided to learn a single eyeshadow pattern that I could recreate with any color combo I chose. So when I genuinely got into makeup in high school, I looked up a smoky eye tutorial that Michelle Phan had posted on YouTube, and it became my road map for eyeshadow for my entire life leading up to the end of college. It wasn’t until Instagram became more popular and more Asian-American makeup artists became well-known that I found other Asian people who were finding ways to get creative with their eyeshadow....

How to Secure Cheaper Rates Sure, travel sites alert you of the best available times to book. However, some hotel rates simply aren’t available online. Hotel prices are subject to change just as quickly as flights, but unlike major airlines, travelers can opt to call hotels directly to save. Prior to booking your next hotel stay, give the front desk a ring and inquire about their package rates, member rates, and pre-purchased inventory blocks to make sure you’re securing the most affordable room option....

In addition to rough estimates of cook times, which may vary depending on the type and model of grill you are using, we’ve also provided a range of internal temperatures for each food so you know exactly when it’s ready and safe to eat....

Still, it’s important to note that writers who do self-publish have to take on a lot of the work that a traditional publisher would do. Proofreading, copyediting, formatting, and cover art are all now the responsibility of the author—who might not be particularly good at any of these key elements of traditional publishing. And marketing still needs to be done to get the word out to would-be book buyers. So, all that said, is self-publishing really worth the hassle—and the money?...

Understand your undertone When shopping for foundation or concealer, your undertone plays a major role in choosing the foundation or concealer shade that is right for you. But first, a clarification: Skin tone is the color we see on the surface of our skin, but the undertone is the hue under the surface. “Every color that you choose will either complement or contrast the undertones of your skin,” says makeup artist Amanda Bell....

Start With a Clean Slate If you’re wondering if you have to pull everything out of your cabinets, the answer is yes. But stick with us. We get it! This part sounds like a lot of work but it’s worth it in the end. “Organizing your space is also an opportunity to clean your space. Take everything out and wipe down those cabinets!" Hines says. “Additionally, this is a chance to get your eyes on and make decisions about everything living in your cabinets; there is so much we don’t see because it’s piled in and hidden,” she explains....

How to Store Pumpkin Pie: Homemade or Store-Bought Your local supermarket is stocked with a ton of pumpkin pies this time of year, and you may have noticed them lined up on tables, rather than sitting in the fridge or freezer sections. That’s because store-bought pumpkin pie has preservatives. If you buy pumpkin pie that’s been sitting out, you can continue to store it on your kitchen counter until the sell-by date, and generally a few days past that....

At their worst, they’re flat, rubbery, and bland. Instead of risking the latter scenario (and disappointing my hungry roommates), I discovered the ingredient that makes every frittata foolproof. It’s yogurt, and it adds just enough richness and moisture to make the best frittata you’ll ever eat. Try it in this recipe (one of my personal go-to’s for an easy weeknight dinner), or customize it using my formula below. I prefer to use Greek yogurt, but any full-fat plain yogurt will do....

Merit Beauty continually stands out as a clean and carefully curated brand, so when I heard it was launching a Bronze Balm last month, I knew I needed to try it. The already internet-beloved bronzer crayon comes in five shades for fair to deep skin tones; I received a sample of Merit Beauty’s Bronze Balm in clay (an ecru-bisque shade) to test. To buy: $30; meritbeauty.com. As soon as I applied the vegan Bronze Balm, I noticed how creamy it felt against my skin due to the moisture-locking vitamin E and fatty acids—it was also formulated without acne-triggering ingredients....
