If you spend every night tossing and turning, it may be because there are negative environmental factors you're so used to ignoring, you no longer even notice them. Whether the culprit's a duvet insert that inevitably shifts to the bottom of the bed or a pesky streetlight shining outside your bedroom window , there are simple design solutions to solve these common problems —and help you catch just a few more Zzzs. The Problem: Too many night shifts. As in, your duvet insert is always shifting around inside the cover. Our Solution: This is actually an incredibly easy problem to fix, yet many people put off doing anything about it (or don't even know it can be solved!). All it takes is a trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to pick up some life-saving (well, at least sleep-saving) Comforter Clips ($6 for 4), which attach your comforter to the corners of the duvet cover. For a DIY solution, Martha Stewart recommends sewing two pieces of fabric tape to the inner corners of your...

In our new series Pregnancy Diaries , we ask expecting women to jot down every pregnancy-related detail of their lives for a week. (Special thanks to New York mag and Refinery29 for the inspo.) Work-related conundrums, struggles with IVF, and a whole lot of nausea, ahead. For our eighth entry, we have a 33-year-old part-time publicist from Connecticut who’s 25 weeks along. She and her husband of almost eight years have a “spirited” two-and-a-half-year-old girl, and don’t know the sex of baby number two.  How long did it take you to conceive?  It took just a couple of months to conceive baby #2. My cycle has tended to fluctuate month-to-month since having my daughter, so it was a bit of a challenge to track accurately. We’ve been incredibly fortunate and have not experienced any fertility issues to-date. Any other details relevant to your pregnancy? Our daughter was born three weeks and one day early, and I gave birth less than three hours after my water broke. This is known as precipit...

For many, back-to- school shopping means creating a home away from home: The dorm room. So, how do you make that room yours when you're working with ugly, standard-issue furniture and very little cash? Avoiding the generic, drab, crappy-chic look is a challenge, but with a little ingenuity — and a clear concept — it's easy to make a space that reflects what you love. Advertisement For me, decorating can be a lot like getting dressed: I start with something I like, and build around it. In my current apartment, I really wanted to hang a picture of shoes on the wall — my red heels next to my boyfriend's black and white oxfords. Once I decided that, black and white and red were "my colors." The red couch and black and white zebra rug fell into place, and, when shopping, I didn't even look at anything blue, pink, orange or green. Colors that flatter your skin tone are going to look great when you're surrounded with them — when you start living in the glow of...

At 8:00 p.m., the ms Westerdam feels like Grand Central Station at rush hour. Well- dressed guests sashay to and from the Vista Dining Room and Lounge. The bars buzz with the clinking of martini glasses and the small talk of new friends. Out on the Ocean Bar’s dance floor, long- married couples dust off their ballroom moves. By midnight, the ship is a ghost town. A few stragglers linger in the bars, and the DJ at the Northern Lights disco plays to an empty house. The only people left in the casino are the dealers packing up their cards and dice. Is this lack of nightlife due to a busy schedule at tomorrow’s next European port-of-call, or is it because the Westerdam ‘s passenger roster has so few guests under the age of 65? It certainly isn’t the fault of the elegant public areas or their resident musicians. After spending 10 nights cruising the western Mediterranean on the Westerdam, I’ve decided [% 9823 | | Holland America %] and its classy ship cater to a certain kind of tr...

The following is from Adam O'Riordan’s short story collection , The Burning Ground. The Burning Ground is a collection of eight stories about men haunted by their past: from a painter tormented by memories of a lover to a father trying to rekindle a relationship with his son. Adam O’Riordan’s poetry collection In the Flesh won the Somerset Maugham Award , awarded to the best writer under the age of 35. He is an academic director at Manchester Metropolitan University . Alannah would always come at two o’clock as she had on her first visit. But they never talked about how they might exist outside of the confines of the studio. Then at Easter a fortnight passed without her visiting. He had delayed his own trip to see his sister in Harrogate. By the third week, when two o’clock came he was pacing the studio, snapping the slats in the battered brushed-metal blind, peering down on to the parked cars on the street below. He had first met Alannah and her husband at the same party. He had...
