Whether it’s an acquaintance, loved one, potential partner, or ex. As the temperatures begin to drop, you may be inclined to stash away the blender and give bone-chilling frozen smoothies a break (at least for a few months).

Laying off the caffeine? Look no further. Ready or not, here they come: the holidays are right around the corner! With October now behind us, Thanksgiving is mere weeks away. If the thought of turkey day (and the sheer amount of cooking prep it requires) is already stressing you TF out, fear not. Sur La Table…

An intuitive eating expert explains. As the holidays draw near, one of the biggest struggles is often finding the perfect stocking stuffers that are both meaningful and delightful.
