A hearty, healthy congrats to our friends at Quaker Oats for earning the Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem, awarded to food products that make it easier to stick with good-for-you meals and snacks. “Whole grains like oats can make any meal more nutritious thanks to their combo of fiber, vitamins and minerals,” says GH Nutrition Director Jaclyn London, M.S., R.D.

SPRUCE UP THE ENTRY Set the scene for a warm welcome in the most high-traffic area of your home 1 TRAP DUST. Reach for a microfiber cloth, which instantly grabs and holds on to particles instead of pushing them around. 2 CONCEAL PAPER PILES.

Fewer than 1% of the women who audition for the famed Radio City Rockettes make the roster, but Alyssa Epstein, 36, is one of them. Ironically, fewer than 1% of women under 40 get breast cancer, but she’s a member of that club too. In 2016, a routine checkup led to a shocking diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer that, unchecked, can become invasive. Alyssa, whose grandmother had breast cancer when she was in her 40s, elected to have a double mastectomy, thus avoiding chemotherapy and radiation — and getting back into her dance shoes ASAP. Less than six months after her first surgery (she later had reconstruction), Alyssa returned to Radio City and reclaimed her spot in the chorus line. “The Rockettes…

RACHEL ROTHMAN CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST Q How do I hang our outdoor decorations… safely? Go for plastic hooks. When used to hang lights, metal hooks or nails can damage wires. We like Command Outdoor Light Clips. $27, amazon.com Avoid extension cords. Choose a surge protector labeled “UL-approved,” and be sure the sum of the wattage of your devices does not exceed the rating on the package Pick LED lights labeled for outdoors. They last longer and use less energy than traditional incandescent string lights, and outdoor versions stand up better to wind and weather. Find a friend. Hang lights with someone who can pass you supplies and keep a ladder steady for you. (Make sure it’s a nonconductive fiberglass ladder, since you’ll be close to electricity.)…

Make a list; check it twice “Failing to plan ahead always leads to unnecessary impulse buys during the holidays,” says Skirboll. Write down a plan of action: Note whom you need to shop for and where to get what, then suss out prices online so you’ll know you’re not overpaying. Start in the back “When there’s a storewide sale, what’s by the doors has most likely already been picked over,” says Skirboll. “You’ll find more options in the back, since shoppers tend to go there last or skip it altogether.” Buy in bulk If you enjoy wine all year, stock up now. “This season, you can get wine and Champagne for up to 30% off,” she says. Treat yourself Make a list for yourself as you shop. It’s a great…

CAROLY N FORT É HOME CARE LAB DIRECTOR Q There are candlewax drips on my wood coffee table! What’s the best way to remove them? A: Wax is easier to remove once it has hardened, so let it dry (help that along by holding a plastic bag filled with a few ice cubes against the wax until it's brittle). With a credit card, gently scrape up the hardened wax, being careful not to damage the wood’s finish. Then, using a clean cloth, apply an adhesive remover like Goo Gone (not for unfinished wood) and wipe away any remaining bits. Finally, polish and buff as usual to camouflage any marks. Next time, of course, you can place candles on stable, heat-resistant dishes large enough to catch any drips.…

DR. MEHMET OZ MEDICAL EXPERT Q With all the holiday hugging, how do I avoid catching something? DR. OZ SAYS: It’s the worst time to be sidelined, so I’m going to help you stay well this season. Get the flu shot. December and February are peak months for flu, so it’s not too late. Remember, children under 6 months old can’t receive the vaccine, but they can definitely get the flu. Washing your hands frequently also helps prevent the common cold. Go outside! Colds come from viruses, not just being chilly. In fact, people often get colds in the winter because they’re inside with others who are coughing and sneezing. Get some fresh air to boost your overall health! The Oz family heads outdoors for our annual Christmas football classic. Make…

What began as a lighthearted fashion challenge in 2009 — to wear a dress every day in December — has morphed into an annual anti–sex trafficking campaign uniting women around the world. “Initially, I just thought it was fun,” says Blythe Hill. But when the challenge went viral, she realized she had a platform to address a cause she felt close to. “I was molested by someone I trusted and carried the weight of that shame for years,” she says. “It made me question my lovability and value as a person.” Helping other victims became her priority. She incorporated a crowdfunding component into her Dressember challenge and has raised more than $3 million so far for anti-trafficking organizations. She also sells cool, affordable dresses that are ethically made by sex-trafficking…
