By Tara Massouleh McCayPublished on June 21, 2025 Credit: NurPhoto / Getty Images One of the many pleasures of grocery shopping is coming home with an unexpected treat. Whether a limited-edition flavor of Goldfish or a new barbecue sauce, a bright spot in your basket or cart can greatly improve your entire errand-running experience. It’s part of what makes those center aisles of ALDI (also known as the ALDI Finds aisles) so fun to explore.

Every town has its nostalgic spots—ice cream shops, deli counters, old-school diners—that seem to have cheated time. These are the places where servers still wear striped aprons and paper hats, where you can still order an egg cream, and where a tuna salad sandwich still only costs a dollar or two. While the modern world rages outside their four walls, everything inside is immune to the tyrant of time. We love these places because they remind us of simpler days.

You might be surprised to learn that most people don’t. By Tara Massouleh McCayPublished on June 16, 2025 Rules and etiquette around tipping have changed rapidly over the past few years. Everyone has always known to tip the big three: servers, hair stylists, and bartenders. And most folks know to tip valets, nail technicians, and bellhops, too. But now it’s also standard to be asked for tips on takeout orders or when we order food at a counter.

The Outer Banks are a string of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina that run 120 miles from the Virginia border to Ocracoke Island. A popular vacation destination, Southerners can’t get enough of this area’s natural beauty, laidback attitude, and rich history. For that reason and many more, we named the Outer Banks our 2025 Vacation of the Year.

Here for the first time in forever to say that everyone should read Chanel Miller’s “Know My Name” not only because her story is so important but because the writing is so. damn. good.
What I don’t understand about Christmas is how it makes so many educated people forget how to use the plural “s” and not make it possessive. Just why? Who do the Smith’s belong to?
We’re watching the Tennessee game with my mom rn and her last comment was: “See there he goes not making it. I don’t like him sometimes,” in reference to Najee Harris gaining 5 yards on a run. But honestly she’s not wrong. We all know who the real Harris running back is.
