Why should mimosas get all the Champagne-splashed fun? This insanely easy cocktail is inspired by the classic brunchtime drink — just sub out the OJ for apple cider. The key to the perfect Ciderini (or mimosa, for that matter), is a one to one ratio of juice to Champagne, where you pour the bubbly first, […]

Last-Minute Halloween Costumes That Don’t Suck (2014 Edition)
Because you couldn’t settle on a costume idea, and now it’s too late to spend 32 hours custom-making your own Comic Con-worthy look. Because you had no plans for Halloween, until that Facebook invite came in half an hour ago. Because you don’t want to spend $90 on a chintzy polyester little nothing of an […]
#Halloween13: Pretty Little Liars Costume Ideas
We can’t tell you who A is (does anyone REALLY know?), but we can help you come up with a Pretty Little Liars costume that would make Allison DiLaurentiis wickedly jealous. Dressing like the Liars is easy, thanks to their clothing line at Aeropostale. However, Hannah, Aria, Spencer and Emily’s looks aren’t so definitive that […]
#Halloween13: Pumpkin Cake Truffles
When we love something, we really love it. Like, Dane-Cook-impersonating-Celine-Dion lurve it. And since our cake and cookie truffles remain some of our most popular posts OF ALL TIME, we decided this year needed its own spin on the treat. Meet the pumpkin cake truffle. It’s a five-ingredient dessert that uses the same pumpkin puree […]
#Halloween13: Arrow Costume Ideas
Superheroes have never been hotter on TV. Case in point? The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But the real gem among these? Arrow. Beyond Stephen Amell’s Ninja Warrior-like training skills, the show surprised everyone with its gritty take on what could be one cheesy, cheesy character. Plus, it’s virtually Spandex-free, so you can look […]
#Halloween: Iggy Azalea/Clueless Costumes
If you didn’t spend half of summer drumming your fingers on your steering wheel, warbling “I’m so faaaancy” slightly off-key, you clearly didn’t spend a second within arm’s length of me, because I blasted that song pretty much every chance I got. And then, when I saw the Clueless-themed music video, I lost it. One […]
#Halloween13: Pepperjack Cheese Dip with Oven-Baked Fries (Day 8)
When it comes to hosting a party, snacks are every bit as important as music, and Halloween is no different. I’m all for having a full dip bar, so you have plenty of options to choose from. In addition to the classics — French Onion, Ranch, salsa — and last year’s pick (Spooky Spicy Black […]
#Halloween13: “Shake It Off” Taylor Swift Costumes
Katy Perry used to be the reigning queen of #Halloween13, but last year, a new pop star to emulate emerged: Taylor Swift. The country-turned-pop singer has been our most popular costume to date, so this year, we HAD to create a few new looks in honor of 1989. Here are two Taylor Swift costume ideas from “Shake […]
#Halloween13: Bob’s Burgers Costumes (Day 6)
Oh, Bob’s Burgers. You had us with your pun-erific Burger of the Week signs. Then cemented it with Linda’s “Porcelain Babies” song. If you want to be comfortable — and not invest too much in your wares — we’ve found your ideal costume. Plus, it gives you an awesome excuse to rock a fake mustache […]
#Halloween13: House of Cards Costume Ideas (Day 5)
When it comes to Halloween costumes, there is none creepier than Frank Underwood. Except for maybe his wife, Claire Underwood. Okay, it’s a tie. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are delightfully horrifying as the Congressional power couple. Any old suit and fitted shift dress would work, but to really nail the look, focus on the […]
