1. R&R: Dark Circles, Be Gone!

Banish those dark circles and relax at the same time, thanks to organic rosehip oil.

2. Workout of the Week: Half Burpees

Half burpees are the perfect way to get in a quick workout. Start in a high plank position, skip the push-up, jump your feet forward and reach your arms overhead without jumping, jump your feet back to the high plank position and repeat. Their low-impact design makes them friendly for all fitness levels (and for a lot of joint issues). [Swirled]


3. What to Watch: “Making It”

Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman host the crafting version of the “Great British Bake-Off” in “Making It.” The delightful comedians challenge DIY experts to make all sorts of creations, and you get to watch the magic happen right in front of your eyes. Bonus: You will get to enjoy plenty of puns from Poehler and Offerman. [Hulu]

4. What to Read: “Weathering” by Lucy Wood

Ada and her daughter Pepper move back to the town Ada grew up in after her mother, Pearl, dies. Ada’s initial plan is to sell the old, rickety house and say goodbye to the leaky ceilings, the pounding river the house sits next to and the one-hour trek into town, but something — someone — is pulling her back. Weathering delicately follows Ada, Pepper and Pearl as they make sense of their lives (or death, in Pearl’s case) and their relationships with the house that molds them all. [Amazon]

When buying salad greens, buy the flattest bag possible to ensure freshness. The air is sucked out of salad greens packaging, and as they age, they emit gas, which makes the bag puffier.

With a sauce made from pumpkin puree, brown butter, garlic, heavy cream and parmesan, you’ll be in autumnal heaven in no time. [Swirled]
