Salvatore Ferragamo Amo Body Lotion 200ml

On our home improvement radar: bath upgrades, facelifts for stairs and sinks, and how to borrow tools without bugging your neighbor.

The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, calls for us to spend time in a woodland environment to lessen stress, lower blood pressure, and mellow angry thoughts. If you are lucky to live or visit somewhere where you have a night sky dark enough to see the Milky Way, "sky bathing" can be even more transporting. In this month's easy living issue, we hope our readers will stop and think about how they feel when they have nothing over their head other than little fluffy clouds or a dome of stars and planets.

Small changes make a big difference. Treat yourself to some new home decor that will elevate your space without breaking the bank. From area rugs and wall mirrors to bath towels and bedding, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite finds from Bed Bath & Beyond.
