Experts share the secret to side-stepping tariff price hikes when shopping for clothes

6 days ago | nbcnews.com | Ashley Morris

Adding to your wardrobe may get more expensive in the coming months. Although the newly-announced tariffs have been paused for the time being on most countries, once the impact hits, the effects will be virtually unavoidable.

Shopping secondhand.
Yes you can buy plants online, but should you? Here's what experts say to look out for

1 week ago | nbcnews.com | Ashley Morris

I love plant shopping as much as the next gardener — when I’m running errands, I love grabbing a new bloom from my local grocer, plant shop, or even at clothing stores like Uniqlo. However, buying plants online eliminates the need to lug them home on the train or bus (which is usually my dilemma). It also opens you up to plant varieties you may not come across in your local shop, and, like all online shopping, gives you plenty of time to browse and research before making a choice.

This is your excuse to get an at-home foot spa — experts want you to have one

1 week ago | nbcnews.com | Ashley Morris

Although I spend a lot of time on my beauty routine, I admittedly pay a little less attention to my feet, which is where an at-home foot spa can help. When you don’t have the money or time for a pedicure at the nail salon, a foot spa can work as an alternative for treating dry, achy soles. Just like a pedicure, they’re not 100% necessary, but they can be a relaxing, rejuvenating facial for your feet.
