( ) A car vacuum is great for the floor mats and seats, but this slime-like gel can tackle all of the nooks and crannies. Press it into air vents, cupholders and other hard-to-clean spots, then pull it away slowly to remove dust and debris. Give kids a good laugh with this toot-tastic treat, which smells— and tastes? — like cherries. Cue the fart jokes (sorry, parents). Hot take: Our Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini suggests you skip th and pick up this potent, moisturizing balm instead. She's not the only one who stands by this fragrance-free favorite — thousands of Amazon reviewers say it effectively treats dry, cracked lips, with that "it's incredibly hydrating without being greasy" and the "effects last for hours without needing constant reapplication."

This little doodad ensures that shampoo and other treatments are evenly distributed, ultimately giving her better bang for her buck. Plus, , "it makes it feel like you are getting your hair professionally washed at the salon." Maybe there's a "big dumb cup" waiting for her underneath the tree. Or maybe she already has a collection of 'em. Either way, she'll love dressing up her tumbler(s) with these silly (yet stylish) straw covers. UNO is having a bit of a resurgence right now, so why don't you kick things up a notch with this new-and-improved version? "It is chaotic, fast-paced, and can easily turn casual players into cutthroat revenge-seeking enemies," one customer raved. That's because the rules are stricter and the actions are way more brutal (like Skip Everyone and Wild Draw 10). Talk about a tea-riffic stocking stuffer: Place any loose-leaf variety in the base of this flower, then watch the flavors blossom as it steeps in hot water. "It stands well, defuses well, and washes well," adding it's a "cheerful addition to my tea cup." A whopping 90,000 Amazon shoppers picked up this sensory squish in the last month. The reason: "It is satisfying to hold and squish without being too squishy. There is a slight firmness to it," , plus it "doesn't have the sticky gross feeling that comparable products can have."

"Eliminates the need for dozens of rolls of plastic wrap, so saves money and the environment at the same time," There's more than meets than eye to this retro-inspired speaker. It looks like a mini version of Crosley's popular turntable, but it has all the modern-day tech to play up to eight hours of music via Bluetooth. He's spent a near fortune on his clubs, and now he'll be able to properly care for 'em. He can clip this brush onto his belt or bag, so he can quickly remove dirt and grass before his next play. Mix a little soap and water in the squeeze bottle for a deeper clean. ( ) See all of our in one spot. We've got gift ideas for all the different people in your life — , , , you name it.

The Post and Courier recently reported that we are nearing the point where half of our state’s residents will have been born elsewhere . I am a third-generation Charlestonian. I was born here, my parents left when I was very young, and I grew up in New Jersey but returned every summer with my family to visit my mother’s side of the family. I still have a New Jersey accent. It's something that will probably never leave me, just as my mother’s Southern accent never left her even though we lived in New Jersey for decades. I have yet to use the expression “y’all” and doubt I ever will. There is another expression that was not commonplace in the Northeast: "transplant." I did not hear that term in reference to people until I moved back to Charleston to be with my parents. We also never asked someone “Were you born here?" or “Where are you from?” That's not because we had no interest in people's rich cultural heritage or ancestry but because we just accepted that New Jersey was now our home. More than this, we were fellow Americans living in our country. Even if someone was visiting or working toward obtaining citizenship, they were given the same respect and acceptance. Fast forward to moving back to Charleston. We all see and hear jokes about folks from other states, especially Ohio, which seems to take the brunt of such jokes. Folks still call Northerners “Yankees” — and not lovingly. They often are blamed for everything that has gone wrong including unbridled development. I am Greek American. All my grandparents were Greek. Three grandparents came to the United States via Ellis Island in the late 1920s from the Greek island of Ithaka. One set of grandparents settled in New York, and my grandfather George Manos settled in Charleston. Whatever happened to “This land is your land, this land is my land. From California to the New York island"? Those words from the Woody Guthrie song, “This Land is Your Land,” were what we learned and sang together at our elementary schools, along with “America the Beautiful.” My father, a gifted singer who sang at Carnegie Hall in a boys’ choir, would sing all the old folk songs — songs that evoked a sense of pride, love and honor for our country. He was also a military veteran, as were his brothers and my great uncles. Almost 75 years after his service, I overheard a member at a local veterans organization say unconscionable, unhospitable and disparaging remarks to his friends in reference to my ethnic heritage and my presence. It was deeply disturbing and hurtful given that my father, Peter, memory eternal, was a past post commander of a VFW. My mother graduated from Ashley Hall, which she absolutely adored. Her parents and her schooling instilled in her brotherly love, respect and acceptance for all people. Religious, political and social tolerance should be seeds planted in the heart of every child. We all have a story and a history. We all matter. Instead of being suspicious, judgmental or territorial toward others, and critical about each other’s differences, let us celebrate each other — and a beautiful opportunity to expand our understanding not only of our city, state and nation but also of our world.

CBC resurrects plans for live New Year’s Eve broadcast specialsPamela Anderson gets praised by Gia Coppola for commitment to ‘The Last Showgirl’ Pamela Anderson collaborated with film director, screenwriter Gia Coppola for latest movie Pamela Anderson’s latest movie, The Last Showgirl director Gia Coppola gushed about the actress’ commitment to the project. The Hollywood star and director were jointly honored with the Pioneer Award at the Sun Valley Film Festival on December 6, as part of the festival’s 2024 Winter Screening Series. In a conversation with Variety , Coppola praised Anderson’s dedication to their project, highlighting her as a guiding force throughout the production. “[Pamela] was really setting the bar for all of us to just be honest and real and raw and vulnerable, and coming together and really creating a family bond, which was so much of what needed to transcend in the movie,” Coppola shared. Anderson, for her part, described her motivation with humility. “I would tell the girls, ‘Look, you’re going to go on to do another hundred movies. You’ve been in the film industry a long time. This might be my only chance,’” she said. The film tells the story of Shelly, a seasoned showgirl played by Anderson, who grapples with her future when the revue she performs in announces its closure. The production, which featured a tight 18-day shooting schedule, required Anderson to bring her A-game from day one. “I knew that I had to prepare for this film like I would a play,” Anderson explained. The Pioneer Award celebrates innovators who have made significant contributions to the art of filmmaking, and Anderson and Coppola’s collaboration on the heartfelt project earned them this well-deserved recognition.

Lina al-Hathloul is a London-based activist whose sister was jailed in Saudi Arabia then banned from travel after campaigning to end a ban on women driving. When FIFA confirmed the kingdom as the 2034 tournament host on Wednesday its president Gianni Infantino acknowledged “the world will be watching” for positive social change.

Indian teen Gukesh Dommaraju becomes the youngest chess world champion after beating Chinese rival NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian teenager Gukesh Dommaraju has become the youngest chess world champion after beating the defending champion Ding Liren of China. Dommaraju, 18, secured 7.5 points against 6.5 of his Chinese rival in Thursday's game which was played in Singapore. He has surpassed the achievement of Russia’s Garry Kasparov who won the title at the age of 22. Dommaraju is now also the second Indian to win the title after five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. The Indian teen prodigy has long been considered a rising star in the chess world after he became a chess grandmaster at 12. He had entered the match as the youngest-ever challenger to the world crown after winning the Candidates tournament earlier this year.
