Things are a little different in the Upside Down. No, not the Upside Down you’re thinking of. There is a house in South Africa that actually looks like it’s been turned over on its roof, gaining it the apt title, the Upside Down House, according to the Associated Press (AP). While this little house-slash-art installation may seem quirky, don’t worry – you’re not actually traveling to an alternate dimension, though you may be able to recreate the photo version of Fred Astaire’s famous dancing-on-the-ceiling moves....

Say cheese! Kate Middleton recently attended the National Portrait Gallery’s Hospital Programme at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital for a creative workshop for children and turned one little boy into a photographer. The event was established to show how art can aid in children’s happiness and health, and the mother-of-three appeared joyful as she worked with the kids on doing just that. At one point in the event, the 38-year-old was handed a beautiful red and white wreath, which she proudly posed with while a 10-year-old heart patient, Luke Wheeler-Widdison, snapped her photo on a blue polaroid camera....

Turkish Airlines’ customer service and food are so widely complimented among travelers that the odds are definitely in your favor with this airline. I’ve truly never seen so many rave reviews about airline food — apparently, the best-spiced food in the skies is on board Turkish Airlines. So while you’re standing famished in the Turkish Airlines check-in line, take comfort in the fact that your in-flight meal may be significantly better than you were expecting....

United Airlines has opened a nearly 30,000-square-foot lounge, its largest in the United States, featuring amazing views, spa-like shower suites, and a barista-served coffee bar. The new club, which is located in Terminal C3 at Newark Liberty International Airport, features more than 480 seats and was designed with locally-sourced art and furniture all with enviable views of the Manhattan skyline, according to the airline. The club opened just in time for Memorial Day Weekend during which more than 2....

If your sanity is hanging by a thread at this point in quarantine, you’re not alone. Our spirit animal Kate Beckinsale took to Instagram to share her latest invention and pretty much confirmed that we’re all on the same level of crazy right now. Beckinsale has been spending lots and lots of time alone with her fluffy Siberian cats Willow and Clive and documenting their adventures — most recently, the actress fashioned a “lettuce hat” for her cats, and Clive’s grumpy cat reaction is cracking us up....

Alexander Skarsgård, Ikea, meatballs, Abba, and reindeer aren’t the only reasons to love Sweden, especially if you’re a mom or dad to a little one. Ubiquitous high chairs, changing tables, and playgrounds are a few other things traveling parents might fall in love with in the Scandinavian country, as I did recently while road tripping around the heart of Sweden with my husband and our 18-month-old daughter. I knew ahead of time that Norse nations had a reputation for their wonderfully generous — justifiably so — parental leave programs....

It’s unclear what exactly Trader Joe’s puts into its Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups to make them so addicting, but one TJ’s fan just found a way to make them even more irresistible. If you’re not eating your Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups frozen with sea salt sprinkled on top, then you’re not living life to its fullest yet. “One of my favorite sweet treats is freezing these dark chocolate peanut butter cups and adding some sea salt on top,” @traderjoesobsessed wrote in their July 28 Instagram caption....

With more than 1,600 miles of shoreline touching the states of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Lake Michigan is home to many beautiful sandy beaches. In fact, the region has been nicknamed “The Third Coast” of the United States after the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Several islands as well as inland lakes and rivers near its shores add to the beauty and accessibility of Lake Michigan. Water temperatures are chilly, especially in the northern area, and rarely top 70 degrees, even in summer....

There are extraordinary hotels, and then there are extraordinary hotel suites. Spanning thousands of square feet — and usually costing thousands of dollars — these accommodations are truly over-the-top, whether because of their grand scale, sumptuous décor, or jaw-dropping views. Frankly, they’re nicer than most homes, but then again, a good hotel should provide an escape from the everyday humdrum. So, if you’re looking for the most impressive hotel suites for an exceptional vacation, here are 15 to tickle your fancy (and we mean fancy)....

Seeing as we are all in the midst of a pandemic, large get-togethers and events are out of the question . . . or so we thought. The CDC states that “Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area” are considered to be in the highest risk category. However, that hasn’t stopped President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for sticking to their annual traditions....

Griscavage excels at complex, multicountry itineraries in Europe. What keeps the trips from feeling overwhelming is a balance between engagement and relaxation. After arranging sightseeing in Rome, she makes sure to send clients to Positano for some beach time. “Europe came back with a vengeance this year!” Griscavage says. Last summer, she helped a family of six on a comprehensive Ireland tour, beginning in Dublin with the classic sights, before heading to the harbor town of Cobh, which was the emigration point for over a million Irish and the last port of call for the ocean liner Titanic....

English actress and model Elizabeth Hurley is just one of a few prominent figures who are sick and tired of what UK tabloids have to say these days. Hurley isn’t taking them to task for their treatment of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, though — she’s seen a few headlines about herself in need of correction, and she figured she’d remind these outlets she’s got a post more attention-grabbing than any of their headlines: a newly revealed naked photo....
