El Capitan was born of fire. The 3,000-foot-tall granite cliff that rises up from the present-day Yosemite Valley in central California started forming roughly 220 million years ago, when ancestral North America collided with a neighboring tectonic plate under the Pacific Ocean. The slow, grinding impact forced the Pacific plate beneath what is now California, igniting a subterranean pressure cooker that liquefied the earth’s deepest rock layers into red-hot magma....

An airport in California is stepping back in time to an era when family and loved ones were allowed to meet travelers at the gate. The Ontario International Airport, which sits about 40 miles east of Los Angeles, will introduce a new program that allows non-travelers to secure an online visitor pass and access the post-security side of the terminal, according to the airport. These non-travelers will then be able to either greet loved ones at the gate or hang out with them before they depart....

Summer is in full swing, and that probably means you’re enjoying the beach, pool, lake, or maybe even just some sunshine in your backyard. For a day on the water, you’ll need a quality swimsuit, and with so many options out there (one-pieces, bikinis, tankinis, oh my!), it can be hard to find one that’s on-trend, flattering, durable, and affordable.

The tumultuous marriage between Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott may be on pause right now as the couple is reportedly exploring life apart. That doesn’t mean a divorce is happening just yet because there may be a few financial issues holding them back. The duo is “going through with a trial separation,” according to a friend in their inner circle who spoke to Us Weekly. Spelling and McDermott aren’t ready to pull the plug on their marriage just yet because “they know divorce will be expensive,” another insider added....

When you have a quality beach chair, any place on the sand instantly becomes the perfect spot. But, as any avid beachgoer knows, not every beach chair is made the same. Some can be difficult to open and too cumbersome to carry with all of your beach gear. Others are just downright uncomfortable to sit in, especially if you’re someone with an achy back and sore knees. One beach chair that shoppers say always delivers is the Sunflow Chair, which shoppers love for its compact construction and ergonomic design....

Brad Pitt is making a major real estate move in the new year as he’s reportedly selling the $40 million Los Angeles estate that he once lived in with Angelina Jolie and their six kids. The property was originally bought by him in 1994, long before he became involved with Jolie, and he was able to scoop up neighboring lots to make it an A-list compound. The 1.9-acre estate has some pretty impressive amenities that should entice a buyer who has a large family or who loves entertaining at home....

No makeup look, whether you’re dressing up or down, is complete without the perfect mascara. However, finding the perfect mascara can be a quest of its own.

Well, we found one that’s lengthening, non-clumping, and separating; all for only $9!...

Madonna, is that you? The 62-year-old singer took to social media sharing photos of herself hoping to inspire others to get out and vote in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle weren’t all about work on their trip to New York City for the Ripple of Hope awards. They were able to have a night on the town without their two kids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1. Well, sort of. It was the Duke of Sussex who charmed the audience at the event hosted by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization on Tuesday. He showed off his royal sense of humor by grabbing the mic and telling Kerry Kennedy that the gala was more than he expected....

Wednesday was a tough day for the royal family as they started the final process of saying goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II before her funeral on Monday, Sept. 19. They are not only mourning the loss of the Queen, but the royals also grieving their beloved family member. Seeing Prince Harry in a very emotional state is a reminder of how close they were as grandmother and grandson. After the solemn procession of bringing Queen Elizabeth’s casket from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, Prince Harry was spotted covering his eyes with his hand — presumably to wipe away tears — as he held the official program in his hand....

The next big hurdle for the royal family to get through is the July 1 statue unveiling on what would have been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday. The day is obviously an important one for both Prince William and Prince Harry, but they want to honor their late mom in their own way — not together. Royal experts were hoping that the feuding brothers would find a way to create “a joint statement and speech,” per The Sun, but it looks like that won’t be the case....

Trains have always held a certain romantic allure, but there’s a way to ride the rails in the open air with fresh breezes, unobstructed views, and a dash of exercise. Railbiking — an outdoor activity that gives you the power to pedal the tracks — is becoming the next trend in adventure travel. Rebecca Deurlein I stumbled upon railbiking — literally stumbled — as I was crossing the train tracks in Hood River, Oregon, and saw the bright red, side-by-side tandem bikes resting on the rails....
