14 Best Advent Calendars for Teens to Unwrap the Magic of the Holiday

　　Teens are almost as hard to buy for as your mother-in-law (and they're equally as judgy). Buying an advent calendar for teens is a tall order. They're still very much a fan of the ridiculous, but you need to toe the line between childish and grown-up. My own tween and teen are notoriously hard to please, so I made sure...

25 Stocking Stuffers for Teens That Sleigh the Day

　　Teens are the hardest bunch to buy for. Their desires are as changing as the trends, and it can feel impossible to keep up. Not surprisingly, buying stocking stuffers for teens can feel like a chore, but don't worry, I've done the dirty work of text chaining a too-large, too-eager-to-chat group of teens to find out what they really want...

The 15 Best Video Games for Teens, Recommended by Real Teenage Gamers

　　My son is 15 years old, and when I tell you that he had very specific thoughts about the best video games for teenagers, I am not kidding. “What platform?” “How old are the teens?” “Are they newbs?” “PC Games aren’t for baby players.” “You probably can’t recommend GTA, but everyone I am friends with plays it.” You’re right, son,...

42 Gifts for Tween Girls to Show You Understand Who They Are

　　Tween girls — those nestled in the perennially awkward ages between 9 and 12 years old — are mysterious creatures indeed. They’re not quite “children,” but they surely aren’t yet teenagers. They’re flexing their desire for independence — all while not yet knowing how to load a dishwasher or fold their own laundry. Their interests seem to change as often...

The 12 Best Stretch Mark Removal Creams to Actually Improve Your Skin’s Appearance

　　If you have stretch marks, you aren't alone. Up to 90% of people have them somewhere on their body. They're nothing to be ashamed of and nothing you need to cover up. However, many of us, myself included, don't love the look of them, and that's where stretch mark creams come in. These super-moisturizers can help reduce the appearance of...

30 Baby Shower Gift Ideas They Don’t Know They Needed

　　Buying things for a new baby can sometimes feel overwhelming: these little humans have absolutely nothing (they’re born naked!) and, not only that, they need a ton of stuff non-parents don’t even think to get. That’s not a dig at new parents, by the way: why would you know this stuff before you have to? How would you know? That’s...

The 9 Best Protein Powders for Breastfeeding That Don't Taste Like Absolute Garbage

　　Breastfeeding can be depleting, especially if you aren’t consuming enough protein and other nutrients in your diet. It isn’t always easy to take a break from taking care of your little one to take care of yourself by eating the right foods that’ll give you sustainable energy — we totally get that. But breastfeeding is an especially important time to...

10 Under-$40 Valentine's Day Crafts Your Kids Will Love

　　Getting kids crafting is one of the best ways to encourage their creativity and get them off tablets and away from screens. I love Valentine's Day crafts for kids because creating these gives them the ability to make gifts or tokens for the people they hold dear. If you grew up in the '90s, chances are, you did quite a...

20 Easter Egg Decorating Kits for Your Family's Craftiest Holiday Yet

　　I always have really grand plans about decorating Easter eggs with my family. I save articles and infographics on common natural items that make for great natural dyes (onions! beets! blueberries!). I watch YouTube tutorials about how, with just a pair of pantyhose and flowers, you can have Instagram-worthy Easter eggs in minutes! I text my super crafty friend, asking...
