Airbnb has changed the game when it comes to vacationing. No longer are travelers beholden to where they can find a suitable hotel. Instead, vacationers can go almost anywhere and stay for as long as they wish, thanks to people sharing their homes with the world. Though we like to think every Airbnb is special, some are a bit cooler than the rest. On your next domestic trip, we suggest checking into one of these cool Airbnb rentals, each offering something special....

Sure, spring might be behind us, but it’s never not a good time to elevate your cleaning game. And at Costco, you can score a highly reviewed, super-popular, difficult-to-find Dyson vacuum for more than $100 off. But you better hurry, because this deal certainly won’t last long. Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do....

Looking to see a meteor shower this year? You’re not alone. A recent Travel + Leisure Co. survey found that 63% of respondents said they would travel to get a better view of night-sky phenomena. Fortunately, there are plenty of places that offer optimal viewing conditions — particularly Dark Sky Places, certified by the International Dark-Sky Association. Of course, those destinations are usually fairly remote, far from any light pollution, which makes them a little tricky to get to....

Though most visitors know it as a tourism wonderland, Florida is becoming an eco-friendly paradise to boot. Unsurprisingly, the Sunshine State produces more solar power than most others, and now it’s encouraging mass adoption of electric vehicles (EV). Currently ranked second in the nation for EV ownership, Florida is making quiet but undeniable progress toward a more sustainable future. Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), America’s largest electric utility and the main provider of energy in Florida, recently launched the EV Expressway, an online toolkit for EV owners and renters to plan their routes....

The Bryant family is doing what they can to focus on healing. In a message to fans shared over the weekend, Vanessa Bryant revealed that she and her eldest daughter, 17-year-old Natalia, have blocked Instagram fan accounts devoted to her late husband Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna — and their reason for doing so is understandable and heartbreaking in equal measure. In an Instagram Story posted on Saturday, Vanessa explained why she and Natalia ultimately made the difficult decision not to see fans’ tributes to Kobe and “Gigi....

Sure, snow is beautiful. But do you really need Jack Frost nipping at your nose to know it’s the holiday season? We think not. This year, consider trading in your chunky-knit Christmas sweaters and fleece-lined slippers for swimsuits, sunglasses, and tank tops. We’ve scoured the globe for hotels and resorts with good year-round weather and exceptional yuletide festivities. All of these properties practically include blue skies in the room rate and have holiday meals, décor, and activities, all set against a balmy, sunshine-filled backdrop....

Finding a good eye cream is as hard as finding the perfect shoes for that long-awaited night out. This one doesn’t make you feel good, this one doesn’t feel right, and then you’re back to square one. However, it’s almost pure ecstasy when you find the right one — and that especially goes with eye creams....

I’m no stranger to a bike desk — having fallen in love with my silly little WFH hamster wheel more than a year ago. But my one gripe, if I have to name one, is that my bike desk is large. She takes up an entire corner of space and isn’t particularly easy to break down and hide away when it’s not in use....

Interest in vacation homes reached a high point during the pandemic. Along with the desire for seclusion, working at home became a reality for millions, in addition to those already able to do their jobs remotely. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, households with someone working from home reported higher levels of income, placing them in a better position to purchase a second home. Although demand has recently dropped with rising interest rates, many Americans are still seeking an escape from cold winters or hot summers, a place to gather for family vacations, or simply a change of scenery....

As a third-generation Kenyan and second-generation safari operator, Jay and with his wife, Brandi, thrive on being approachable and aligned with what they know best, the African continent. Whether it’s planning a privately guided, multi-generational family safari or curating a honeymoon for a couple who wish to feel connected with the wilderness, the Parmars encourage travel to remote destinations such as Time + Tide’s Kakuli Camp in Zambia and Great Plains Conservation’s Selinda Camp in Botswana....

If there is one thing we are cautious of, especially during the warmer months, it’s how much sun exposure we are getting. We do our best to wear sunscreen every day, especially when we go on vacation to the beach where the UV exposure can be very high. If you’re like us and enjoy that extra protection, you probably always bring a beach umbrella to provide shade for you and your family....

There’s the rush to the bakery section to load up on pumpkin pies and other seasonal treats, and then we usually look at the frozen section and paper goods, too. But Costco always has something else to catch our eye (and fill our carts), from furniture to clothing....

If you’ve ever stepped on one of those LEGO bricks, you’ll immediately understand the need for storage. Those little plastic pieces that create hours of fun for your kids, and adults, can be quite painful underfoot. But it happens easily as the small pieces can get lost in the sofa, kicked under the bed or dropped under the dining room table while building those masterpieces. It would be great if we could just store the pieces in the box they were originally purchased in but (trust us, we’ve tried) that cardboard doesn’t last for long....

Delta Air Lines is preparing for a busy July 4 weekend. The airline announced Tuesday that it’ll waive all change fees from July 1 through July 4. Additionally, Delta issued a systemwide travel waiver for fare differences. Customers who re-book their flight must keep the same origin and destination cities and must travel by July 8. Travelers who do need to re-book or change their travel plans can do so via My Trips or the Fly Delta app....

Department of Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg said air travel should be smoother by the holidays following a summer of mass cancellations and delays. “I think it is going to get better by the holidays,” Buttigieg said during a Thursday appearance on the The Late Late Show with James Corden. “We’re really pressing the airlines to deliver better service…they need to be ready to service the tickets that they’re selling." To hold airlines accountable, the DOT has also launched a new website detailing airline compensation policies and proposed a rule change that would require airlines to issue a refund for a delayed domestic flight....

There’s a reason why Zion National Park was protected back in 1919 — the expanse of land in southwest Utah is both beautiful and historic. The massive red, orange, and pink sandstone cliffs shoot vertically out of the ground, forming scenic canyons once walked by native people. Today, those same paths remain, giving park visitors a glimpse into what the landscape might’ve looked like long ago. Perhaps most impressive are the park’s slot canyons — narrow pathways surrounded by sheer rock walls — and the surprisingly lush Emerald Pools, which are fed by waterfalls....

When a hard seltzer just won’t cut it, reach instead for a cool glass of frozen rosé — or, frose.

Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do....

More than 25 years after The Mighty Ducks skated onto the screen, the first episode of a new sequel series, Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, premieres on Disney+ today. Although the original Ducks were the lovable underdogs that everyone loved to root for, the 2021 Ducks are ruthless. When 12-year-old Evan Marrow (Brady Noon) gets cut from the Mighty Ducks, his single mom Alex (Lauren Graham) is furious. Marrow loves playing hockey, but was told that he wasn’t good enough to play in the 12-14 league....
