Winter in New York City is undeniably active: streets packed with shoppers, holiday markets running at full tilt, and cultural institutions operating on overdrive. While energizing, the holiday season can also be exhausting for locals. A quick winter weekend getaway is just the thing to provide rest and restoration for busy city-goers, whether that means an off-grid cabin with a hot tub in upstate New York or an escape to a countryside resort near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. When daily routines involve dodging midtown gridlock or cramming onto cold subway platforms, a weekend outside the city feels like…

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Design has a way of transforming the ordinary into something artful. The curve of a handmade mug, the texture of linen draped over a table, the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly proportioned lamp—these details remind us that beauty and function aren’t separate things, but partners in how we live. When it comes to gifting, I always gravitate toward pieces that carry this spirit. The ones that make everyday rituals—morning coffee, setting the table, lighting a candle—feel a little more intentional. These are…

Buttery mini croissants are soft and tender in this stuffing, but some of the bread, reserved to layer on top, creates a flaky, golden top for the best of both worlds.The classic stuffing flavors of sausage, celery, and apple get an added rich texture and flavor from the French croissants. The make-ahead components, like letting the bread sit out overnight or even assembling the casserole a day in advance, make this dish perfect for easy entertaining. Mini croissants give this sausage stuffing a prettier presentation than standard bread cube, but it’s also got all the flavors you look forward to,…

Ceiling fans provide a cost-effective and elegant way to make living spaces more comfortable. They don’t lower the room temperature, per se; instead, they circulate air throughout a space, making those in the room feel cooler by helping warm air evaporate from the skin. Today’s ceiling fans come in various sizes and styles; some even offer smart connectivity. Whether you’re upgrading your lighting and electrical fixtures or simply want better airflow, a quality ceiling fan can make a big difference in both comfort and energy efficiency—especially quiet ceiling fans for bedrooms and offices. We wanted to develop a roundup of…

For my latest trip to Oahu, this time to surprise my father and take him out for his 80th birthday, I decided to fly Basic Economy. I’m here this week. Originally, I planned to splurge on First Class for $1,600 roundtrip because the flight was on the Boeing 777 300ER, my favorite plane with solo first class lie flat beds along the window. But in the end, I could not bring myself to pay that much, largely due to my frugality. We have had such a strong stock market in 2025 that part of me felt it was fine to…

I’ve been on over 30 cruises and I still remember my very first one, a three-day weekend out of the Port of Los Angeles on a Carnival ship in the late 90s for a bachelor party. I did not want to go because I thought I would feel trapped, claustrophobic and miserable. Instead, it was completely the opposite. Even on that old, low budget Carnival ship, I found plenty of food, endless entertainment and the thrill of waking up each morning in a new place. That weekend turned into an obsession. Since then, I have sailed on some of the…

President Donald Trump offered his clearest timeline yet for the proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend,” telling reporters on Monday, Nov. 17 that payments would likely start “in the middle of next year, a little bit later than that.” He said the checks would be aimed at “individuals of moderate income” and funded by what he describes as surging tariff revenue.Yet even as Trump tightens his pitch, his own Treasury secretary has introduced new hurdles; most notably that Congress would first need to sign off on the plan.Trump Sets a Date: Mid-2026Depositphotos Photo by MehaniqSpeaking in the Oval Office during an event…
