You’ll never regret carving out time to do something special (or something rather ordinary) with your daughter, so here are 17 ideas for activities the two of you can do together in 2020. Start the new year off on a fun note, whether you’re tackling a Pinterest DIY or road tripping across the South, these activities will create lifelong memories that will certainly be unforgettable.

We Tried 6 Popular Deodorant Brands–And These Are Our Favorites

Pitted against the Southern heat.

Let's face it – armpits aren't exactly the most glamorous body part. But, we’d all notice if the person next to us stopped paying attention to their maintenance. Deodorant, especially when faced with the heat and humidity of the South, is an important part of our beauty routine, so picking a product that keeps us dry and smelling fresh is key. We tested out some of the most popular deodorant brands to see which one really fit a Southerner’s needs. We’ve ranked each deodorant based on a few criteria: how it holds up during a work day, how it holds up against exercising, and, overall, how it performs for a full 24-hour day. While some deodorants overpowered us with their scent and fell flat against our work out routine, there were a few underdogs that surprised us with their diligence. Another tricky issue with deodorant is texture and color: which products leave streaks on your clothes and which leave you feeling like you haven't swiped on enough? Our winner was surprising.

The Best Anti-Aging Foods

The Best Anti-Aging Foods

A few favorites to add to your diet.

While most of us are content to act our age, the truth is that no one wants to look their age. Before you spend extra dollars on the Crème de La Mer, reach for the Botox, or start Googling the best plastic surgeon in Palm Beach, there are some less invasive, more cost effective, and much tastier options for fighting the effects of aging: the food you're eating.

Foods that are antioxidant-rich can help reduce some of the outward signs of aging, by combatting free-radicals, helping to reverse sun damage, and trying to keep collagen where it belongs. Remember, though, that even if you eat all these foods, exercise, sunscreen, a low-stress lifestyle, and a good night’s sleep are equally important parts of your anti-aging regimen. But still, blueberries are much more delicious than Botox.

Here are some of the top anti-aging foods to add to your diet, including Southern favorites like watermelon, greens, and sweet potatoes:

25 Healthy Late-Night Snacks to Curb Those Midnight Cravings

We’ve all been there before. It’s just past midnight. You’re sitting on your couch getting ready to wind down for the night. You dog-ear your book and turn off the television but, on your way to your room, you’re hit by a sudden craving. Chocolate? Potato chips? Ice cream? You wander over to the kitchen, and faced with bags of snack foods and confectionary sweets, you eat an entire post-dinner meal that leaves you feeling sick and sluggish.

It can be difficult to break the habit of late-night snacking, and luckily you don’t have to. We’ve put together a collection of our favorite healthy late-night snacks that are completely guilt-free. If you’re craving something salty, try out some toasted nuts or olive oil popcorn with herbs. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, cinnamon apples or banana split “nachos” just may be the perfect solution. If you want the best of both worlds, enjoy some sweet-and-salty peanut butter dip. These healthy recipes are a great starting point for breaking old snacking habits, but any midnight snacks can be enjoyed in moderation (read: it’s totally okay to break into those addictive cheese crackers every once in a while).

The Best Life Lessons We Learned From Children's Books

They still have a lot to teach us.

Children’s books are full of wisdom. They contain some of the most important, well said, and beautifully told advice that can be found in the literary world. It sticks with us long after we’ve graduated to chapter books, and it is formative. This advice applies to elementary school, grown-up life, and beyond. It’s true though, after childhood, we tend to leave the children’s books on the shelves to gather dust. That is, until our kids reach for them and we rediscover them once more. Revisit your favorites, from Corduory to The Berenstain Bears, and remember the lessons they taught you growing up. We would do well to reread a kid’s book every now and again. They have lots to teach us at every stage of life. We should treasure their simple lessons, because they always, always apply.
