«I love Beis as a luggage brand overall—all of their luggage has genius storage features and it's all gorgeous. I just took the Mini Weekender to Florida and it fit perfectly under the seat as a personal item, has shoe and laptop compartments, and has a pocket turned loop for securing it to your roller luggage bags.»

«Skip the plastic bag when packing your carry-on. This clear pouch keeps liquids and toiletries organized, plus it's reusable, easy to clean, and comes in a variety of colors.»

«I bought this jumpsuit so long ago that I'm actually (pleasantly!) surprised it's still sold, but this is my #1 go-to forever travel jumpsuit. The material is lightweight without feeling thin or flimsy, and it's much cuter than leggings. It's the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication, and I wear it on almost every trip. Years in, it's still in great shape, too, so it can hold up to pretty much any travel adventure, whether that's hours on a plane or being balled up in a suitcase for a few days.»

When we find a new TikTok trend perfect for our fellow home decor lovers, it's only right that we share. Though the coastal grandmother aesthetic took the cake as last year's favorite lifestyle to replicate (and it's one we still love to this day), TikTok has coined yet another summer aesthetic: the «tomato girl.»

There's nothing more frustrating than trying to fall asleep in a hot bedroom during the hottest nights of summer. An air conditioner is the easiest way to fix your overheated bedroom. But if you don't have one, or can't afford one, you don't need to toss and turn in discomfort. There are other, more affordable ways to make your bedroom cooler.

One thing about us: Southern Living editors love plants. Whether it’s a windowsill herb garden soaking up sun in the kitchen, a blooming bouquet brightening up a beautifully designed room, or a flowering tree enlivening the landscape, we have a deep appreciation for greenery. In the South, we have affinities for many different kinds of plants, flowers, and trees, many of which connect us to memories of our families and friends. With that in mind, we asked our editors what plants they love. They came up with a bunch of great plants, some of which they tend in their gardens and others they love to encounter in the landscape season after season. On this list, you’ll find some classic herbs, showy flowers, and a couple of trees with distinct personalities. These are our editors’ favorite plants–what are yours?
Tom Sterenberg is sharing some photos today of roses he’s grown in the sometimes difficult climate of the Canadian prairie.
Summer is the best time to take a step back, slow down, and spend more time doing things we enjoy under the sun or in the comfort of our homes.
Now that it's officially summer, the BHG editors have been busy hosting backyard gatherings. Whether you're having the neighbors over for a casual dinner or throwing an all-out garden party, we've got you covered with our favorite outdoor essentials.
Warm weather and sunny days mean that beach days are ahead. Whether you love to ride the waves or prefer to spend the day lounging in the sun with a good book, the right gear can make or break a good beach day.
Chelsea is always inspirational but there are some years when the excitement ramps up a notch, and this is one of those years. There are so many superb show gardens to steal ideas from, so many important messages to absorb, that it has been difficult to narrow it down. The plantsmanship is breathtaking, the designs imaginative and the themes thought-provoking, many of the gardens demonstrating how we can garden more sustainably in this era of climate change. From Cleve West’s atmospheric ruined house to Chris Beardshaw’s immaculately planted woodland glade, there is so much at the show to learn from. Here is my pick of the crop.
