LIFESTYLE: CHIC BACHELORETTE TRIP IDEAS
Bachelorette trips are getting a glow-up—less matching sashes, more matching linen sets. From mezcal tastings in Mexico City to wine-fueled sunsets in Santa Barbara or bike rides through Nantucket, these Airbnb picks prove you can celebrate in style without the inflatable decor.
BUSINESS: SINGLE-TAP ADD TO DELIVERY
Amazon has rolled out a new single-tap ‘Add to Delivery’ feature for Prime members, which allows the accountholder to quickly add eligible items onto existing delivery orders at no extra cost! You can undo the addition immediately if needed actually, and Amazon has reported that the feature has already been used over 50 million times. Convenience or chaos incoming?
WELLNESS: BREAST CANCER IS RISING IN YOUNG WOMEN
Breast cancer rates are rising among women under 40—and experts say early screening could be life-saving. Even if you don’t check every “high risk” box, knowing your personal risk factors (from family history to hormones) and advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office could make all the difference.
If you’re someone who can almost hear fall, yes hear, then this is a track you’ll love to have playing in the background as you work, clean, or relax. Fall means hearing crisp leaves get crinkled as they get stepped on, smooth jazz, and the pitter patter of feet moving around cute streets, that’s what you can expect with this!
IN COLLABORATION WITH
At Noteworthy, scent is personal—because you’re not a “one-size-fits-all” kind of person. Take their quick (surprisingly spot-on) scent quiz to find perfumes that match your personality and main character energy.
Bonus: you’ll get $25 off your favorite full-size bottle, and every fragrance is paraben-free, phthalate-free, and dye-free. If you need a place to start, try n.743—a dreamy blend of tuberose, jasmine, magnolia, and warm woods that’s basically confidence in a bottle.

ON ATTRACTION: “Self love is the highest frequency that attracts everything you desire.” - ANONYMOUS
When you truly love and value yourself, you naturally align with positive energy—drawing in better opportunities, relationships, and experiences. In other words, self-love sets the tone for everything else you attract in life.
VALENCIA, SPAIN
EAT: Casa Carmela is a classic spot in the Cabanyal neighborhood & is famous for the traditional wood-fire paella it serves. If you’re a paella + seafood lover, you’ll definitely want to reserve a spot rather than drop by. You can expect to pay 40-60 euro per person. For a modern, high-end option with a creative Mediterranean cuisine, you need to try Lienzo. They offer tasting menus, a minimalist chic interior, and the name translates to “canvas” in English. P.S — its Michelin rated & reservations are definitely recommended.
STAY: The AC Hotel by Marriott Valencia is conveniently located near the City of Arts & Sciences and within walking distance of many attractions. If proximity to sightseeing + frolicking is your jam, this will be your place. For a more boutique, design-forward hotel, you should look into Hospes Palau de la Mar. It combines historic charm + offers modern amenities.
DO: You can explore the Turia Gardens (Jardín del Turia) if you’re in the mood for an outdoor-sy activity. This reclaimed riverbed turned park stretches through the city and is perfect for walking, biking, or relaxing. If museums are your thing, visit the City of Arts & Sciences and the Science Museum. It’s actually a futuristic architectural complex with museums, an aquarium, and interactive exhibits.
