Like many people who have been working from home the past two years, I pretty much stopped wearing shoes altogether once Covid started. But after a few months of going barefoot, I noticed my feet started to feel sore and my body ached thanks to hard floors and zero arch support. My solution was to start wearing slippers around the house — the only problem being that all of the options in my slipper rotation were fuzzy and super warm, and my feet tend to overheat....

A stroll through Lisbon’s hilly streets immediately reveals why the capital has recently become a social media darling: It offers a delicious visual feast that does very well on Instagram. Colorful azulejo tiles that decorate most walls as well as the stone mosaic pavements, known in Portuguese as Calçada Portuguesa (both distinctly embedded in the country’s cultural heritage), have captivated jets-etting aesthetes. But scrolling through the Lisbon hashtag on Instagram, which at the moment features nearly 8....

Airbnb is growing up. The scrappy startup, founded in 2008, has emerged as a major competitor to hotel companies around the world—and it has ignited a passionate community of followers and dissenters alike. Just this week, it launched partnerships with Virgin America and American Express, allowing guests to gain frequent flier miles from their Airbnb bookings or pay for their stays with rewards points. And later this week, it’ll gather up its top hosts in Paris for a get-together of epic proportions—proving that the company has strength in numbers against a host of impending lawsuits in San Francisco and beyond....

People are overworked and burnt out, and we seem content to treat this as a fact of life. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, the issue that Americans are so overworked — one-third of all American workers haven’t even taken a vacation in over two years — is precisely why we should be making a commitment to take more time off in 2020. According to the mattress review website Sleep Judge, the United States is one of only a handful of countries that do not mandate a set number of vacation days....

A Disney spokesperson confirmed the addition to Travel + Leisure, but there aren’t many details — or photos of the upcoming figure — available yet....

Eighties ladies (and gents), your dream home is waiting for you. The quintessential Southern home from “Designing Women,” owned by the illustrious Julia Sugarbaker in the show, is officially up for sale.

In early November, the vineyard-covered hills of Umbria are splashed with vibrant, rusty red — the telltale hue of native Sagrantino grapevines. It’s a rustic, painterly landscape, dotted with the silvery-green foliage of olive trees. But inside a red-brick barn turned oil mill in the town of Bevagna, I was captivated by a beautiful but decidedly more man-made scene. Wedged between white-tiled walls stood an industrial grinder — a hulking metal contraption of cubes, funnels, and spigots....

In January, the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in Washington County, New York said it’s prepared to put $700,000 into renovating the home where the women’s rights activist lived during her youth. According to the Times Union, the office bought the foreclosed property in 2006 at auction for just $1.
