There are plenty of things I don’t exactly love about the winter months, and more frequent headaches land near the top of the list. After a recent days-long throb, unhelped by my usual go-to remedies, it occurred to me: maybe I’m just dehydrated.
Let it be known that I’m very attached to my emotional support water bottle, but I know for sure that I’m filling it up less during the winter months (slow sips of warm tea are way more appealing than chugging ice water when it’s already freezing outside). But with a bit of research, I discovered that hydration is arguably even more important in the winter than it is in the hottest months, because your body works extra hard to humidify the cold, dry air.
Given this new intel, plus the pulse between my temples, I figured the start of the year was the perfect time to commit to better hydration. And for a little help in kicking off my new era, I (obviously) turned to TikTok. There, I stumbled upon tons of #flavoredice content—and, within minutes, the 20-million-views-worth of freshly-frozen, pastel cubes had me mesmerized and convinced enough to try it.
I ordered a stock of fresh juice, a few variations of electrolytes, and a countertop portable ice maker, and voila: I’ve been crunching my way to hydration ever since. With this portable ice maker, which is on major sale at QVC right now, I’ve erased the notion that drinking water is a chore (or a bore).
I’ve been living for a mid-morning pick-me-up of pomegranate-grapefruit hunks. And they’re so simple to make: I open the lid, add water and a splash of each juice to the “max” line, select either large or small cubes, and wait seven minutes before savoring a serving of blush-pink ice. When I want to switch gears for an afternoon cup of frozen black tea (seriously, try it), I don’t have to worry about leftover flavors creeping in or residue sticking to the machine, thanks to the Igloo’s self-cleaning function.
Some days, I add flat or sparkling water to my cup of cubes and let the flavor dissipate as they melt. Other times, I go liquid-less and treat the ice like a little hydration snack. And when I’m feeling really fancy, I serve up ice with cocktail garnishes like rosemary sprigs and lemon twists that make me look like a hostess extraordinaire when my friends stop in. Psst: They don’t need to know how effortless it is.
So if you’re looking to get in on the viral TikTok trend *and* keep yourself hydrated as you kick off 2024, join me in my flavored-ice era. Trust me—it’s chill.

We often think about sex toys as a solo activity—however, that's definitely not always the case. True, a self-care sesh with a quality toy is never a bad idea, especially on Valentine's Day. But even if you're coupled up, there are plenty of ways to play as a pair with tech-forward sex toys from Lovense. The brand specializes in a wide range of vibrators, suction toys, and more, most of which are designed to be used in tandem with your partner's device (thanks to cool Bluetooth technology and an easy-to-use app), even if you're across the country. So, whether you're together IRL or chatting long-distance this February 14, you'll feel closer than ever. Best of all, the Lovense Valentine's Day Sale is already live, so you can score up to 55 percent off on the brand's best sellers in preparation for the big day. Ready to get vibing? Scroll on to learn more about the sale, which runs now through February 16, plus shop the Lovense toys the W+G team has an eye on.
Take 53 percent off this small-but-mighty vibe that clips discreetly into your undies. The ergonomic design and quiet motor offer three intensity levels and seven vibration patterns—all controlled with the Lovense app.
This duo is crazy impressive, especially if you're in a heterosexual LDR. No matter how far apart you are from your boo, you can sync this sleeve masturbator (Max) and rabbit-vibe (Nora) to respond to each other's movements. Each device is made with body-safe materials and comes with an extensive range of vibrations you can control via the Lovense app. Plus, at 53 percent off, bundling these two toys is a real steal.
Waterproof: Nora-yes, Max-no | Vibrations: Customizable with the app or your partners movements | Runtime: Nora-4 hours, Max-1.5 hours
This suction toy is the perfect addition to any collection. The Tenera 2 (now 50 percent off) uses pulses of air and a soft silicone tip to stimulate your clitoris, all while fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand.
