In the thick of winter, dry skin needs as much moisture as it can get. Lack of hydration results in rough patches, dullness, and that uncomfortable tight feeling, so there’s no better time than now to break out those effective skin savers. But not all moisturizers are created equal, which is why you should consider opening your mind (and your beauty cabinet) to serums for higher concentrated formulas that penetrate the skin faster than traditional lotions. Read on for seven body serums to use when a regular moisturizer just won’t cut it.
Salad isn't known as being a winter comfort food, but seasonal produce like persimmons, squash and pomegranate make *perfect* salad toppings this time of year. After indulging in holiday goodies for the last few weeks (months?), your body will be craving a nutrient-dense lunch or dinner this winter. Stay healthy and keep your immunity up by getting your veggie servings in for the day with these filling and delicious winter salads.
Quick and Easy Winter Salad Recipes We'll Be Making This Month

Twelve Superfoods Salad
Averie Cooks

Minimalist Baker
BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
Jackfruit is that magical produce that seems to perfectly replicate meat in almost any dish. Thanks to its growing popularity, it's become relatively easy to find in grocery stores. Just make sure you buy a young green jackfruit in water, not brine or syrup. This is the key to achieving proper flavor and texture. Then all you need to do is sauté and add A LOT of barbecue sauce. (via Minimalist Baker)
Natural Girl, Modern World
Mushroom Stroganoff

Hot for Food

Vegan in the Freezer
Dairy-Free Herbed Scalloped Potatoes
Potatoes baked into a casserole that's covered in a creamy white sauce is comfort food at its best. All you need to do is sprinkle a few herbs on top for a little somethin' extra.

Lazy Cat Kitchen
Vegan Pad Thai
Pad Thai is one of the easiest dishes to veganize because it already comes layered with an array of crunchy vegetables and cubes of tofu. The tricky part is substituting the fish sauce, but this is actually easier than it seems. You can either buy a non-fish-based fish sauce, or simply prepare your own by infusing soy sauce (or tamari) with a bit of seaweed and dried mushrooms.
Feasting on Fruit

Baked Aloo Samosas
Indian food is great because so much of it is already vegan. And samosas might be the ultimate choice because they can be an appetizer, a finger food, or a meal. Plus, they're concocted with a host of spices and dipping sauces that will keep your taste buds intrigued and wanting more.
Minimalist Baker
Vegan Sloppy Joes
If you never had sloppy joes growing up, there's no time like the present to give them a try. This warm sandwich is sweet, smokey, and savory all at once, and it can be made with everyday pantry items. This vegan version uses lentils instead of beef and is no less satisfying for it.

The cauliflower is marinated and then dusted in cornstarch and sesame seeds to form that crispy crust we all love. Now vegans and carnivores alike can get in on some of that General Tso’s action.
No Recipes
Vegan Spinach Dip
A blend of soft tofu with raw cashew nuts creates a satiny texture that's complemented by the spinach for an appetizer that tastes indulgent but won't have you regretting your snack choices.
Peas & Crayons
Vegan Grilled Cheese
Something about that ooey-gooey yumminess of grilled cheese is simply unbeatable. But the best part of this sandwich isn't even the cheese; it's the ability to be a blank canvas onto which you can add an array of herbs, spices, chutneys, pickles, and jellies. The world is your oyster here — go wild!
Karissa's Vegan Kitchen
Vegan Meatball Subs
When you wrap chickpea meatballs in carbs, smother them with marinara sauce, and top with a sprinkle of vegan Parm, the result is irresistible. If you make a huge batch of meatballs and then freeze them, this recipe becomes so simple that there's a high probability it will become your fave Friday night staple.

The chokehold Trader Joe's has on me is atrocious. They truly can do no wrong with their wide array of snacks and sweet treats, and I really appreciate that my TJ's grocery hauls are typically way cheaper than if I did my shopping elsewhere. Trader Joe's is packed to the brim with delicious, life-changing finds under $10. So, if you're balling on a budget (but still want to make room for a lil' 'treat yourself' time), look no further than this list of my absolute favorite finds!
Let's dive into the best Trader Joe's buys you can add to your cart for under $10!
Trader Joe's
Organic Joe Medium Roast Ground Coffee
For just $6.99, Trader Joe's medium roast coffee tastes divine. No matter how you brew it, I promise you'll be thoroughly impressed.
Trader Joe's
Non-Dairy Oat Creamer Gingerbread
Trader Joe's collection of $1.99 non-dairy creamers are all delicious, but this limited-time seasonal offering is the literal cream of the crop.
Trader Joe's
Teeny Tiny Pecan Pies
Nothing says 'bougie' quite like finger foods do. Take the sweet route with this grouping of $4.99 tiny pecan pies!
Trader Joe's
Shaved Parmesan, Romano & Asiago Cheeses
I love topping salads, pastas, and soups with this $3.49 blend of shredded cheeses. Once it gets melty is where the fun really begins.
Trader Joe's
Cheesy Herby Biscuits
Biscuits are undoubtedly a considerably fancy thing to make yourself, but luckily you don't have to put in all that effort just to please a crowd, thanks to this $4.99 box o' biscuits!
Trader Joe's
Butter with Brown Sugar & Maple Syrup
This $2.99 butter infused with brown sugar and maple syrup will instantly elevate any piece of toast or baking project you've got going on.
Trader Joe's
Dark Chocolate Ganache Mini Sheet Cake
I'm simply obsessed with these $4.99 sheet cakes from Trader Joe's. They come in all kinds of flavors, but who can ever resist chocolate?! This is an easy (yet impressive) grab-and-go buy to bring to the office for your team or to share with the fam at home after a long week.
Trader Joe's
Truffle Dip
In my mind, truffle equates to some real fancy stuff. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this creamy dip was just $5.49!
Trader Joe's
Steamed Vegetable Soup Dumplings
I will live and die on the hill that Trader Joe's soup dumplings are some of the best ready-made options around. This $3.49 box is my go-to if I simply don't feel like cooking dinner (which happens more than I'd like to admit), but still want something warm that's gonna fill me up.
Trader Joe's
Sliced Black Truffle Monterey Jack Cheese
Another fun truffle find! Kick your grilled cheeses up a notch for just $4.99.
Trader Joe's
Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip
This is another one of my TJ's must-haves. If I don't buy this $3.79 box every single time I go, I at least buy it every other visit. Yummm.
Trader Joe's
Coffee Bean Blast Ice Cream
They are not kidding when they say this ice cream is a true coffee blast. It's so full on flavor, luxuriously creamy, and for just $4.49 a pint, I think that's pretty dang good.
Trader Joe's
Chocolate Brooklyn Babka
This rich babka bread is laced with lotsa chocolate. You can get the loaf for $5.99, but beware: it's gonna go fast.
Trader Joe's
Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste
This bourbon-y vanilla bean paste is so fun to use for cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and the like. It has a perfect smoky, woody finish (but still sweet), plus a little goes a very long way. Snag it at your local TJ's for $4.99.
Trader Joe's
Speculoos Cookie Butter
I fear I could eat this entire jar of cookie butter in one sitting. It always tastes expertly crafted and undeniably sweet. I love putting it on toast, ice cream, and even in my morning coffee. The jar sells at $3.99!
Trader Joe's
Candy Cane Green Tea
This $2.79 green tea has become a wintertime staple for me since I discovered it at Trader Joe's last year. I've already bought 3 boxes to stock up for the season.

When you connect with a fictional character, and that character dies within their story, it's actually very normal to experience real feelings of grief. Author Oscar Wilde wrote that one of his "greatest tragedies" was the death of the fictional Lucien de Rubempré. He was so upset about it, in fact, that "it haunts me in my moments of pleasure. I remember it when I laugh." And that was in 1899!
If you're a TV fan, you probably know this pain first hand because we've had to say goodbye to a ton of characters in the last few years. After Outer Banks lost one of its beloved characters on November 7, fans flooded social media, proclaiming they felt like they'd lost someone from their own real life. And based on this Reddit thread of the TV deaths that "totally destroyed you emotionally,"OBX fans are definitely not alone. Do you agree with these picks? (Spoilers ahead! But you knew that.)
Keep reading for the most upsetting TV deaths we're still recovering from.
JJ Maybank from 'Outer Banks'
Jackson Lee Davis/Netflix
Okay, considering this one's the most recent, I have to lead with it. Rudy Pankow's JJ died in the final episode of Outer Banks season 4, which was extra devastating for viewers hoping to see a happy ending with Madison Bailey's Kiara. One viewer told me "it feels almost like the show died along with him." Woof.
Marissa Cooper in 'The OC'
Warner Bros. TV
The OC's Marissa and Ryan are one of the ultimate 'ships of the early-2000s...so watching her die in his arms at the end of season 3 almost made me stop believing in love.
Sarah Miller on 'The Last of Us'
Shane Harvey/HBO
Sarah's future is literally so bright when we meet her in The Last of Us. She's spunky and clever, which makes her end one of the saddest TV deaths in recent history. And the fact Joel (Pedro Pascal) screaming "Tommy help me!" was improvised? I need 5-7 business days to process.
Glen Rhee from 'The Walking Dead'
Gene Page/AMC
Viewers of this zombie show will never forget Glen's (Steven Yeun) death-by-baseball-bat, which came in season 7, episode 1. "I couldn't watch that show anymore after that," one Reddit user admitted.
Charlie Pace from 'Lost'
ABC/Disney
The way Dominic Monaghan brought complexity to the character of Charlie — and made everyone fall in love with him — is a really beautiful thing. Even if his death marked the end of an era in the show. "A lot of the LOST deaths were sad, but that one was brutal," another Reddit user adds.
Joyce Summers in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
Warner Bros. TV
The only thing worse than losing your favorite character is seeing them suffer a loss. Case in point: Buffy losing her mom in season 5, episode 16 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Despite the fact this episode aired 23 years ago, it's still "TOO SOON"for some.
Lydia James on 'One Tree Hill'
Warner Bros. TV
Speaking of moms, watching Haley deal with her mom's death throughout One Tree Hill season 7 is one of the most heartbreaking arcs on TV. I'm so glad she has Nathan to lean on, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch.
Hodor in 'Game of Thrones'
HBO
Game of Thrones is literally filled with tragedy, so when a character death leaves its fans speechless, that's how you know it was a bold choice! "I cry everytime :(," one Reddit user says.
Catelyn & Robb Stark from 'Game of Thrones'
HBO
Another GOT death we're still reeling from? Catelyn and Robb Stark at the Red Wedding. TBH, everyone from the Red Wedding #iykyk.
Bellamy Blake on 'The 100'
The CW
I'm pretty sure The 100 fans all thought the same thing when we got to the final episode of the show: "What?!" To spend 6 years of watching Bellamy and Clarke flirt (and actors Bob Morley and Eliza Taylor get married IRL) only to see her kill him in the end still infuriates me.
Lexa in 'The 100'
Cate Cameron/The CW
Not to mention the fact The 100 had already killed off Lexa, another one of Clarke's love interests, in season 3. One X user called it one of the "top saddest scenes" in the whole show.
Eddie Munson from 'Stranger Things'
Netflix
Outer Banks isn't the first time Netflix viewers have experienced a devastating TV death — Eddie Munson's sacrifice in the final episode of Stranger Things 4 will go down as one of the saddest deaths ever! "One of the few times that a TV show actually made me shed a tear," says another Redditer.
Michael Cordero Jr. on 'Jane the Virgin'
The CW/Warner Bros. TV
This is my most memorable TV death — and one of the first times I was really upset! When I reached the Jane the Virgin season 3 episode where Michael dies after his LSAT exam, I curled up on my roommate's carpet and cried so hard she thought I'd gotten denied from study abroad. Yes, I was that upset.
Amber Volakis on 'House'
Fox
While TV deaths are already hard to cope with, they can feel like they affect us even more when they cause drama between other characters — like when Wilson's girlfriend passes away on House. One Reddit user points out how it "was a toughie. More so because of how it affected Wilson and caused a wedge in his friendship with House."
Fry's Dog Seymour Asses in 'Futurama'
Fox/Disney
Okay as painful as human deaths are, pet deaths are just as bad! After "Fry's dog in Futurama" died, one Reddit user "was never the same."
Sybil & Matthew Crawley on 'Downton Abbey'
Joss Barratt/Carnival Films
Downton Abbey proved it wasn't afraid to go there when fan favorite Sybil died after giving birth in season 3.
Matthew Crawley on 'Downton Abbey'
Carnival Films
Oh, did I mention the show also killed Matthew in a car accident during the Christmas special that year? Happy holidays, I guess.
Derek Shepherd on 'Grey's Anatomy'
Richard Cartwright/ABC/Disney
Even people who haven't seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy can tell you McDreamy's death changed the show forever!!
Dr. Green from 'ER'
NBC
And speaking of medical dramas, Anthony Edwards' devastating TV death absolutely wrecked one Reddit user, who says "I’ve never cried at a character death before. I stopped watching after he died." All too relatable.
Every Single Death On 'The Sopranos'
HBO
Y'all know we couldn't make a "Devastating TV Deaths" list and not include The Sopranos. Christopher, Johnny Sack, Cosette — you name it, we probably cried.
Jen Lindley on 'Dawson's Creek'
Warner Bros. TV
We fell in love with Michelle Williams on Dawson's Creek — which means when she died (during the series finale no less!!!) we were totally inconsolable.
Danny Matheson in 'Revolution'
NBC
I'll be honest. This is one devastating TV death that totally derailed my interest in the show. RIP Danny, RIP.
Allison Argent in 'Teen Wolf'
MTV
Allison (Crystal Reed) dying in Scott's arms while "Look Out" by James Vincent McMorrow plays in the background? I'm still not over it.
Enzo on 'The Vampire Diaries'
The CW
And finally, I can't NOT include Enzo's death on The Vampire Diaries both because of how difficult it is to watch, and because Bonnie deserved so much better — on every single front.
