Can You Eat Your Way to a Longer Life?

Five Members Edition stories are unlocked for one week, starting with a question that interests nearly everyone: Can what we eat help us live longer and healthier? Mediterranean-style eating has long been linked to healthy aging, and research suggests it may even help maintain telomeres, the protective structures at the ends of chromosomes. Our grocery list includes berries, salmon, olive oil, farro, microgreens and purple sweet potatoes. Even coffee and dark chocolate make the cut, with a few caveats. See which foods ​you should reach for.

She also considers flowers, food, donations and one gesture that should be made after the gathering rather than during it. See how to offer comfort with consideration.​

Makeup Rules Worth Breaking After 50​

Makeup artist Mally Roncal has a message for women who rely on powder foundation, heavy under-eye concealer and perfectly drawn brows: There is a fresher way. Her advice includes matching foundation at the collarbone, applying concealer only where it brightens and adding a touch of shimmer at the center of the eyelids. The result is less about hiding age than bringing light and definition back to the face. ​

The Halloween Costumes Gen X Has Been Waiting For

​Forget vampires. How about going as a VHS tape that was never rewound, or the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! champion you once dreamed of becoming?
