Everyone should walk away tonight with a lovely piece of hand-dyed fabric made from our own leaves,

We churn our own butter, roll our own oats and support a root to leaf ideology, meaning that if an animal dies or a vegetable is harvested for food we will maximise its entire potential, respectfully.

While craft beer breweries in the U.S. have been on a slight decline, the industry's creativity and ingenuity have helped beer giants like Anheuser-Busch grow their portfolios while allowing independent breweries to truly shine. Apart from being independent and creative, craft beer breweries have also been applauded for their sustainable, eco-friendly practices like using recycled packaging materials, repurposing spent grains, and exploiting renewable energy to fuel the brewing process.

A new kind of warehouse has just popped up, nestled in seven acres of forest in northern Indiana. It's the latest delivery station for Amazon, one of hundreds of logistics centers around the world that handle the package sorting and van loading for last-mile delivery. But while this delivery center will be doing all that standard work, it's also acting as a living laboratory to test out what the future of Amazon's delivery stations-and maybe the future of warehouses writ large-will look like.

Glitzy renovated kitchens make everyone ooh and ahh - the new appliances, the fancy flooring, the latest cabinets. Behind those renovations, though, is a hefty price tag. According to Realtor, the kitchen is the most expensive room of the house to remodel, averaging around $27,000 in the United States. For some homeowners, this kind of price tag is either completely unattainable or altogether not worth it, so they're choosing to embrace their old-fashioned kitchens instead.

At Baoshan No. 2 Central Primary in , OLA Shanghai collaborated with China and to create a playground that integrates movement and creativity. The design takes inspiration from the form and logic of a simple 2×3 LEGO brick, translating its modularity into spatial and athletic functions.

As someone who prefers lighter styles of red wines, the creeping chill of autumn is the perfect nudge I need to make room for more robust options, too. Cabernet sauvignon is a classic choice when it comes to bolder red wines, and there are countless regions around the world that have perfected its iconic characteristics. Depending on its environment, it can have a strong, rugged character or display a riper, sometimes jammy palate.

Despite containing absolutely zero fish or animal products, the company claims that Zeroe looks and tastes just like the real deal.

Syracuse is a city defined by resilience, community pride, and a deep connection to education and sports. Known for Syracuse University, the Carrier Dome, snowy winters, and its place as a gateway to the Finger Lakes, Syracuse thrives on tradition while leaning into change. From Marshall Street's student energy to family neighborhoods in Eastwood, the art scene in Armory Square, and the calm of Onondaga Lake Park, life here balances history and progress.

I live in a country where deliveries, whether they're goods or food, are pretty common. You see a ton of motorcycles on the road and most of them are either ride-sharing or door-to-door delivery. It of course adds to the traffic congestion in an already notoriously congested city. But if you live in a place where that is not a problem, you probably are looking forward to the day when automated delivery will be a part of the normal, every day life.

The Filter, like the rest of The Guardian, will be paywall-free and will rely on affiliate revenue. This has worked well for The Filter's U.K. offering - The Guardian told Digiday that The Filter received 62 million views and 8 million clicks through to retailers in its first year, leading to a "significant volume in sales," though they didn't provide details on those numbers.

Back Market, the online refurbished tech marketplace, offers buyers who want to save money on electronics (and reduce e-waste) good-as-new products repaired by experts. Starting today, the retailer has taken the process to its first-ever brick-and-mortar store, where buyers can shop for secondhand phones and laptops in person -- just like at an Apple Store. The company's pilot store opened its doors on Wednesday in New York City's Soho neighborhood, inviting consumers to see and touch repaired devices before buying them.

Developed by COIMA and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the project has been envisioned as both a temporary residence for athletes and a long-term urban asset for the city. Delivered in 30 months and ahead of schedule, the Village is located within the Porta Romana railway yard, and comprises six new residential buildings and the restoration of two historic structures: the former Squadra Rialzo locomotive workshop

For New Yorkers, the search for the perfect vape cartridge often comes with compromise. Too many cartridges clog halfway through, deliver weak flavor, or feel inconsistent from one pull to the next. When you're spending money on a product that's supposed to offer convenience, flavor, and potency, settling for anything less than reliable is frustrating. The best vape carts go beyond getting the job done-they enhance every session. They offer high THC levels, a true full-spectrum effect, and smooth, clog-free performance.

From Michelin-starred restaurants to buzzy neighborhood cafés beloved by locals, the city balances creativity with refinement while staying true to its roots. With farms nearby, many chefs source directly from local growers, weaving peak-season produce into everything from pastries to cocktails. Atlanta's restaurants are also where chefs from around the world share their stories, adding their own unique flavors to the city's fabric.

For years, Europe's big cities-Paris, Berlin, Barcelona-were the dream destinations for young people seeking opportunity, culture, and nightlife. But recently, a surprising shift has begun. More and more Gen Z Europeans are turning away from these bustling hubs and relocating to smaller, quieter towns often dismissed as "boring." This trend isn't about rejecting excitement altogether. Instead, it reflects a generational desire for balance: affordable living, community connection, and sustainability.

Stations and depots across the London transport network have been transformed with gardens as part of an annual Transport for London (TfL) contest. The In Bloom competition, which started in 1910, sees TfL staff decorate stations and depots with flowers, fruits, vegetables and plants. To celebrate TfL's silver jubilee, the new Best Theme award was introduced, won by Highbury & Islington station. South Tottenham station won the top prize, the Best in Show award, as well as the Best Cultivated Garden.

Hash has a long cultural lineage. From the mountains of Morocco to the traditions of Nepal and India, hashish has been celebrated as a concentrated expression of the cannabis plant. It is cannabis in its most artisanal form, crafted to highlight trichomes-the sticky, resinous crystals that carry cannabinoids and terpenes. In New York's emerging legal market, this tradition finds new life through small-batch brands committed to craft, purity, and authenticity.

Revelers were treated to a flavor-packed journey through two decades of dining, from the street-food-forward (spicy tofu-skin noodles from Xi'an Famous Foods) to the downright decadent (Tatiana's truffle-and-caviar-topped oxtail rangoons).

Whenever there's a change of season, I open up my windows, air out my apartment, and give my bedding a refresh. But not just any bedding - I share a bed with a hot sleeper, so the best material for us to have a good night's sleep is organic cotton. I love the natural look and feel, plus it's temperature-regulating, soft, and chemical-free.

To create a definitive guide to the best hotels in the Maldives is no easy feat. The archipelagic country sets the standard when it comes to superior island living. It's where overwater stays come as standard, privacy is a given and natural beauty is all around. The calibre is sky high. Boutique stays and lo-fi boltholes are a rarity. Instead, world-class hotels are spread out on their own private islands, nestling state-of-the-art spas and multiple restaurants amongst lush jungles, pristine beaches and house reefs.
