  • A Fun Way to See the Most Popular Halloween Costumes Near You

    ,

    At this point, you’ve probably guessed that we get really into Halloween. Really into it. Even if we don’t have particular plans for the holiday, we’ll come up with some…just because we (or, okay, maybe just I) love any excuse to dress up ridiculously for a day. The downside? When half the people at the…

  • The Most Comfortable, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes You’ve Ever Seen

    Wearing skimpy, skintight costumes you have to constantly tug and readjust all Halloween night (while shivering, since it’s Oct. 31st and all) is just one school of thought. You could be totally, ridiculously comfortable. These costumes are pretty much like wearing pajamas, and you only have to buy one thing to nail your entire look.…

  • Emily Henderson’s Secret for Choosing the Right Wall Color

    Choosing the right paint color always seems much more straightforward than it is. Go to the store. Pick a color you like. Boom! Done. Only paint colors never look quite the same on your walls as they do on the swatch, and the color you love, love, LOVE one week you can absolutely loathe the…

  • Reclaiming Mondays: The Test Kitchen Playlist

    Whether we’re in the middle of a photo shoot or testing recipes, when we’re in the Delish test kitchen, we’re always playing music. It’s part of the office’s fun vibe — after all, we’re making tater totchos and homemade Hot Pockets here, not splitting atoms — so I’m always on the lookout for new songs…

  • I’m A Sucker for Free Cupcakes

    ,

    If you wanted to ensnare me, you wouldn’t need an elaborate ruse. Just leave a trail of free cupcakes (no matter how questionable), or have a person dance around in a giant cupcake costume, and curiosity will compel me to follow the trail.

  • Is It Too Soon to Start Planning for Halloween?

    It’s not quite October yet, but the air is turning crisper, the temperature’s starting to drop (at least a smidge), and the world’s talking about pumpkin-spiced everything, so naturally, we’ve got Halloween on the brain. Today marks the launch of Collegiate Cook’s #Halloween15 series, where the site will post one new All Hallows Eve-themed recipe…

  • 5 Fall TV Shows to Get Psyched About Watching

    Every September and October brings a whole new round of shows to watch — some great, some mediocre at best, some destined to be canceled before ever airing a fourth episode. Here are the five I’m most looking forward to catching (and, oddly enough, most of them seem to be on NBC).

  • 7 Songs Written By Celebs You Wouldn’t Expect

    It’s fascinating to me how many famous musicians have penned hits for other celebrities. So much so, in fact, that I recently fell down a digital rabbit hole looking up who wrote what — and, naturally, I had to share my findings with you. Are there any hits I’ve overlooked? Tell me in the comments!…

  • Target’s Getting in On the Beauty Box Game Too

    Like many people, I rarely open retail email blasts, unless it’s the weeks leading up to Black Friday. But this one made me click the subject line before my brain could even fully register the subject line: New Beauty Box. Just $5. It was from Target. Target? We’ve covered all kinds of beauty boxes here…

  • Watching The Cookie Man’s Treats Being Made Is Oddly Mesmerizing

    I’ve been known to take a sudden detour when something catches my attention. Particularly when it smells like freshly baked cookies. While the scent wafting from The Cookie Man in Cairns, Australia, initially caught my attention, I found myself standing in front of the shop for a full two minutes, awkwardly telling the baker I wasn’t…

  • 5 Ways to Savor Summer This Labor Day Weekend

    Though summer doesn’t technically end until Sept. 23rd, our minds tend to start shifting toward fall just after Labor Day. The long weekend feels like a last hurrah, so why not do it up big, before you start getting consumed by sweater weather and all things pumpkin spice? Consider this your Labor Day weekend must-do…

  • 5 VMA Looks That Set the Stage On Fire

    Hands down, the biggest thrill of the VMAs is its sheer unpredictability. The show’s big, milestone moments can earn a celeb at least a few days’ worth of PR — see: Lil’ Kim’s strategically placed seashell ensemble in the late ’90s, Britney dancing with a boa constrictor in the early 2000s, Miley Cyrus introducing the…
