While it may not be the conventional choice, adding touches of red to your bathroom can make it feel vibrant and invigorating—setting the mood for when you're trying to wake up and take on the day in the morning.

When you’re in the throes of baking or preparing your morning toast, not much is worse than having to wait for your butter to reach room temperature (except for maybe struggling to spread it when it’s chilled). If you’re constantly forgetting to allow butter to reach its ideal softness (which takes about 30 minutes to an hour), there’s an underrated kitchen staple you may want to look into: the butter crock. A butter crock can keep your butter at the perfect texture for up to a week—without being stored in the fridge.

They recently decided it was time to invest in themselves by remodeling their primary suite.”
