4 days ago | nicenews.com | Rebekah Brandes

In a perfect world, no one would ever bicker or fight with the people they love, but over here in reality, arguments happen. Sometimes they’re over politics or instances of hurt feelings, other times over what temperature the thermostat should be set to. Since arguing is inevitable, the best we can do is get better at it.

About 50 miles off the coast of South Korea, a group of women — some of them in their 80s — start many days by free diving into frigid waters to collect conch, sea urchin, abalone, octopus, and other ocean dwellers for their communities to eat.

New York Hudson Valley Hiking Trail Gets Eco Makeover

1 week ago | nicenews.com | Ally Mauch

The Breakneck Ridge Trail is one of the most popular day hikes in not just New York state but the entire country — the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference estimated in 2018 that the destination receives around 100,000 visitors each year.

“Nepo Baby” Jack Henry Robbins Stars in PSA for Real Babies

The 36-year-old has been playing off the recent discourse around “nepo babies,” or people who may have gotten a leg up from having successful parents, by unabashedly (and jokingly) using his famous mom and dad for clout. Now, Robbins is lending his humor to a more serious cause: helping real babies.

Viral Instagram Account Highlights “Cheap Old Houses”

2 weeks ago | nicenews.com | Rebekah Brandes

Old homes are distinctly beautiful, not merely aesthetically — some certainly don’t fall into that category — but also for the history they preserve. Countless people on social media belong to groups or follow accounts dedicated to these kinds of houses, some of which were built hundreds of years ago.
