Passover, the weeklong Jewish celebration of freedom and the start of spring, begins tonight at sundown. When the clock strikes quarter past seven, observant Jews everywhere will sit down for a lengthy Seder, which is essentially a ritual re-telling of the story of the Chosen People’s exodus from Egypt, punctuated with symbolic food and drinks, and

Admit it: We like to get in on the action at the craft tables during our kids’ birthday parties. I’ve been known to get consumed and even take over as my little one is making a bead bracelet or painting a piece of pottery (“No mommy! Let ME!”). So when we attend baby showers, we grown-ups can fully

When you’re not tied down to a color scheme, you can really go wild with creativity for every aspect of the party: food, décor, activities and party favors. The results, especially in

For years there’s been an emphasis on making sunscreen a part of your daily life—not just when you hit the beach. But the white lotion is sticky, thick and doesn’t blend well. Who wants to apply that under their makeup daily? Our foundation would never approve. Instead we’ve got a few ways for you to add SPF

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Shakespeare’s famous line in Romeo and Juliet often prompts debate. Are names really of no importance, and is it the true substance—the being, the soul, the unnameable—that really counts? In most cases, yes.
