There’s nothing in the world that means more to us than a quality TikTok find. Just this past month alone, users have inspired us to buy a shockingly affordable (and effective) pack of camel toe-preventing thongs and a wrinkle-erasing eye gel—then its dupes because, of course, it sold out. Now, we’re running to the virtual shopping aisle of Juno & Co to buy its $15 cleansing balm, because we’ve simply seen too many rave reviews not to.

It all started when @rogerwh0 posted a video using the balm all the way back in March. In in, you see just how effective the milky gel can be at removing makeup and sunscreen.

“As someone with combo oily skin, I love how the Clean 10 balm breaks down excess oils and impurities without leaving a greasy feel or stripping the skin,” they said. Months later, the brands hashtag has over 118 million views—the majority of which are for reviews of this product.

In the minute-long video, you can watch as the beauty guru gently rubs the cleanser in her hands before applying it to her made-up face. As she places pressure on her face, her eye shadow, mascara, and foundation literally drip off her skin. It’s strangely satisfying to watch, tbh.

“It’s actually melting off?” she said of her makeup. “What the heck, I was not expecting this!”

This melting effect is all thanks to the oil-based cleanser’s 10 ingredients, which include vitamin-rich Japanese Barley Magic, Vitamin E, and orange peel oil. Per the brand, these enriching ingredients combine to brighten skin, reduce dark spots, and cleanse without stripping away any essential natural oils from your face.

Don’t let the idea of an oil-based cleanser scare you, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. A general rule of thumb in the skincare industry is that the dryer your skin is, the thicker the oil it’ll produce. So, when you cleanse it with oils and hydration, it will produce less of this acne-causing oil.

“It’s the best cleansing balm on the market,” wrote one reviewer. “I always had a hard time taking my makeup off but this is like butter”

A relaxing spa pedicure is a welcome treat year-round, even when you do it yourself. However, getting that pedicure and keeping the polish pristine as fall settles presents a formidable challenge.

But never fear, spa-loving readers! I’ve got a few tips to keep your toes polished to perfection no matter how chilly the season! Follow these recommendations and keep your toes warm in cool temps and perfectly painted.

Note: Those who frequent inexpensive nail salons should be forewarned: the old plastic-bag-around-the-toes trick is sure to backfire, leaving your recently purchased pedicure wrecked. Be sure to refuse this treatment if offered!

Keep Your Feet Smooth

Instead of spending a lot of money every few weeks having your calluses removed, invest in a pumice stone to regularly maintain your soft feet.

You can purchase these relatively cheaply, and they will prevent you from having to pay for those expensive treatments at the salon when it’s too late for a pumice stone. Plus, the better your feet look, the better your pedicure will look!

Moisturize (But Avoid Scented Lotions)

Moisturizing your feet on a regular basis can make your pedicure look brand new because it keeps your skin and cuticles soft and hydrated. However, if you’re someone who likes scented body lotions, beware!

Synthetic fragrances of any kind can cause your nail polish to crack. Instead, just make sure that the lotions you are using to moisturize are unscented.

Don’t Forget the Base and Top Coats

Before having color applied, don’t forget your base coat! It helps to give the color something to sink into besides your actual nails.

Then, once all is said and done, make sure to have a top coat applied to give your nails a superhero protection against the elements! Not to mention, it also allows for a quick-dry, high shine, long-lasting pedicure.

Cuticle Oil

Cuticle oil, commonly made of vegetable oil, vitamins and citric acid, is a moisturizing product for your nails. It doesn’t just keep your feet soft and moisturized. It also keeps your nail polish from chipping and in cases of extreme damage and dryness, it can restore your nails back to health.

Give Your Nails Time to Harden

I know that for some of us, it’s easy to get impatient once the pampering is complete, but take some time to allow your fresh polish to dry. In those cases when you just can’t spare a few extra minutes, ensure that your nails are dry by using a quick-drying spray.

But not just any spray will do. Try OPI’s rapid dry ($10.95 at Ulta) – this product is used at many of the upscale salons and spas I have visited in my travels. Give this power-packed spray a spritz and then wait a minute or two to help strengthen the lacquer.

Go a Shade Darker

Here’s a pro tip: If you go to the spa for a pedicure, be sure to keep a bottle of polish at home that is a shade darker than the original color you used for your pedicure. That way, when it starts to chip, you can go over your older pedicure with the darker color. This will help touch up your pedicure and lengthen its life!

Or, if you would prefer the color is the same, simply BYOB (bring your own bottle) to the salon. That will ensure you’ll be able to touch it up in the coming weeks.

Invest in Pedicure Booties

Last, but certainly not least, make the best of a sticky polish situation, by keeping close-toed shoes far from perfectly pedicured toenails. Though it seems an odd choice for the coolness of late fall in Chicago, or other similar climates, sandals are best.

Or, if pampering pedicures are your weekly or bi-weekly escape, invest in a boot certain to keep you warm and your polish intact ($58 to $78 at Bootie Pies). Designed with the spa maven in mind, this boot touts an open toe and a zippered back to easily slip pedicured feet in without incident.

Once your toe polish is hard and dry, cap up your Bootie Pies with the patent-leather toe covers, turning your perfect pedicure footwear into your favorite boots!

With the winter holidays just around the corner, many of us are wondering how we will handle getting together, in whatever form, with certain people, whether they are family or friends.

We all have those people with whom we’ve had a falling out or a breakdown in communications. So today I want to cover one of the most important lessons I’ve learned from tens of thousands of Chicken Soup for the Soul stories – the importance of using the power of forgiveness.

Basically, without forgiveness you’re stuck. And it doesn’t feel good to harbor all that resentment. You just relive the same hurt again and again.

Put the Past in the Past

In fact, you need to put the past where it belongs – in the past. Why are you reliving that pain, that insult, the terrible thing that person did to you? The past belongs behind you. Don’t bring it with you into the present, and then the future. You’re letting that person, and that person’s behavior, control you.

Imagine you’re wearing a heavy cloak and all the resentments and hurts are sewn onto it. You’re carrying all of them around with you, weighing you down! Now stand up straight, shrug off that cloak, and leave it behind you where it belongs – in the past. Step forward now – free and light. The past is behind you.

“Forgiveness” doesn’t mean you are excusing bad behavior. What it actually means is that you’ve made a conscious decision to stop reliving the bad events that happened.

Pay Attention to What Motivated the Other Person

One easy way to shed that resentment is to think about what motivated the person who wronged you. What if he or she wasn’t really trying to be awful? We had a wonderful story about this in our book about the power of forgiveness.

Imagine this scene: The front door slams. Judythe Guarnera opens it and sees her husband of almost 30 years tromping across the front lawn. He looks back at her in the doorway and quietly says, “You’re wrong, you know. There was never anyone else but you. No one. Ever.”

Judythe starts crying and thinking about the early years of their marriage and how in love they were. They built a life together, going through all those start-up years – you know, the ones when you scrape the money together to buy a house, have those little kids, and live simply. It’s a joint effort and you do it together.

Then, somehow, Judythe and her husband started to grow apart. When they became empty nesters, she finally got to finish her college degree, something that was personally fulfilling but didn’t seem to change the negative path their marriage was on.

When they eventually decided to get a divorce, it was acrimonious. They battled endlessly and said a lot of things to each other that could never be taken back.

Judythe joined a divorce support group, but she was still stuck – she hadn’t found a good way to shed all her resentment and anger and move forward. Then a wonderful, insightful speaker addressed the group and said, “Repeat after me. In my marriage I did the best I could.”

Everyone in the room said it. Then, the speaker told them to say, “My spouse did the best he or she could.”

Now there was silence. No one was willing to say that! The speaker started to persuade them, saying, “Who would choose to do their worst?”

Assume Other People Did Their Best

That speaker was right. I think if most of us think back to whatever relationships have failed for us – a marriage, a friendship, a work situation – we know that we did our best. So why can’t we assume that the other people also did their best? They might not have done a good job, but if they were trying, it’s a lot harder to be angry with them.

Judythe thought about this a lot, and she realized that her husband probably had done his best, just as she had. She says, “It took a while before I could embrace that idea and forgive my husband and myself. He wasn’t the best husband for me, and I wasn’t the best wife for him. But I had loved him and had really intended to do my best.”

She said that when she thought about her own past, she saw that it was indeed made up of all her best efforts.

And so was her husband’s.

Make Forgiveness Your New Superpower

There is a Chinese proverb that says, “Gold cannot be pure, and people cannot be perfect.” When we learn to reevaluate our own behavior in light of our own imperfections, we become less judgmental of others as well. That makes it easier to use your new superpower – forgiveness.

What I love about forgiveness is that it gives you the opportunity to literally change your life in one second. All you have to do is decide that you’re going to do it. It requires no time, no money, no sweating… you don’t even need to talk to anyone!

Even the person you are forgiving doesn’t have to know. So go ahead and shrug off that heavy cloak and get ready for a wonderful holiday season.

Are you holding onto grudges and resentments? Are they keeping you from fully enjoying the present? Are you ready to put the past where it belongs – in the past? Can you accept that we all try, however flawed our efforts might be?
