    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    Some containers have all the sun. These shady planters, though, are having plenty of fun sans sun. We’ve gathered all of our favorite shade-loving containers to inspire your planting this season. If you have a shady yard or want to perk up a shaded spot in your home, at your front door, on your porch, or around your patio, put together a pretty shade-loving container that’s also easy to care for. Plants like caladiums and creeping Jenny will thrive in the shade, and they’ll also add great color and movement to your planters. If you’re looking for the best plants for the shade and great flowers that thrive in shade, also reach for impatiens, coleus, sweet potato vines, mazus, vincas, torenias, violas, petunias, pansies, hellebores (Lenten roses), hostas, astilbes, and trilliums. They look great and will thrive in full to partial shade. Shade-loving flowers aren’t too hard to find. Ask around at your local garden store, and you’ll be able to locate the ingredients and put together any one of these shade-tolerant container ideas. Also, in regards to your container, don’t forget to think vertical. We love pots and planters, but a hanging basket is another great option, as is an elevated planter, which will make a statement and take advantage of any vertical space.

Best Foundations with SPF
Credit: Clinique
When it comes to skincare, the most important step is oft the most skipped: sunscreen. In a perfect world, it should always be the final thing done before even thinking about grabbing the concealer or running out the door. But we’re not perfect, and sometimes it’s easier to just trick ourselves into doing it daily by combining it with something else: foundation. To our laziest inner selves and harmful UV rays, an SPF-infused foundation says “checkmate.” And we’ve rounded up the very best of the best.These multi-tasking foundations help create a smooth complexion, while protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun that you encounter on a daily basis. All without adding another step to your regimen. These SPF foundations will incorporate seamlessly into your makeup routine to give you peace of mind that you are keeping your skin healthy and safe from the sun, even when you’re not at the beach or pool. Whether you prefer a powder, a liquid, a convenient compact, a CC cream, or a tinted serum, you’ll find a foundation with SPF on this list for every skin type and budget.
