2019 is the Year of the Homebody—And We’re So Here for It

December 16, 2018 at 06:30PM Are you noticing the seismic shift of what used to be weekends spent out sipping wine and munching on apps has turned into eating cauliflower pizza while soaking in a bubble bath? It’s official: Being a card-carrying homebody is now more acceptable than ever. Call it the JOMO effect—but what ups the ante from a standard night on the couch to a true moment to recharge your batteries is the little touches. Like, for example, the clean-home essentials from Caldrea, which transform your living room (or kitchen, or bathroom) into a fragrant oasis you might never want to leave again. On that note—and a decidedly festive one, as well—we hosted a cozy evening of manis, make-your-own flower bouquets, and gift wrapping at New York City’s tenoverten salon celebrating the power of scent and serious relaxation. For a play-by-play on how to recreate the magic (and some last-minute gifting ideas, to boot), take a peek inside. Scroll down for some homebody inspo on how to make your space feel like a sanctuary for self care.

Guests were greeted by this cheery sight before heading into a room full of plush chairs and magical aromas. Photo: Tim Gibson for Well+Good As attendees filtered in, they sipped on pink

Is avocado toast actually just “mushy”? I don’t know anything anymore after watching these kids try it

December 16, 2018 at 02:21PM Who doesn’t like avocado toast? You might not like handing over a stack of dollar bills for your toast. You might not like the “toast” part—and choose to eat the keto-friendly “breadless” variety instead. But most people, if they’re handed a plate of the stuff, are going to be pretty excited about it. But kids? That’s a different story, as this video from the Kids Try series on YouTube shows. And the most shocking thing I learned: There is a future coming where avocado toast is something that “old people” like. Let that sink in. In the video, several baby foodies did a tasting of the prized go-to dish among millennials,who the host explained are people born between 1981 and 1996. “Those are old times,” one boy says. Ouch, kid. You really never know what kids are going to say—which is one of the most delightful things about them—or what they’ll like. I mean, have you seen that adorable video where the little girl wants Alexa to play “Baby Shark” right now? And she’s hardly the only one. How can anyone like “Baby Shark” at that level of intensity? Also, Frozen was good. It was fine. But the “Let It Go” hysteria gave me Children of the Corn vibes. (That’s a reference you’ll get if you were around well before the old times of 1996.) So I was really interested to see how these kids would react to avocado, that healthy fat fave with entire restaurants dedicated to it.
