Quay Named Top Sunglasses Pick for Wide Faces and Low Nose Bridges

New York – September 20, 2026 -- Expert Consumers has named Quay the top pick for wide faces, low nose bridges, and larger heads in a new 2026 guide to sunglasses fit by face shape. The review highlights three Quay styles -- Nightfall Extra Large, Say Less, and Good Time -- as examples of how frame width, bridge construction, and silhouette address different fit concerns.

Fit and face shape require separate checks, the guide says

Expert Consumers recommends starting with face shape to narrow silhouette options, then checking frame width, bridge design, arm length, and lens coverage. Round faces often suit square, rectangular, or cat-eye frames; square faces can benefit from rounded lenses; oval faces accommodate most silhouettes including aviators; heart-shaped faces often pair well with cat-eye styles. A properly fitted frame should sit level across the brow, meet the temples comfortably, and avoid sliding down the nose.

Dating App Wild Hits 900,000 Verified Users in 57 Countries

NEW YORK – September 19, 2026 -- Dating app Wild has surpassed 900,000 verified members across 57 countries, the company announced, positioning itself as an alternative to apps built around finding long-term relationships.

Launched in 2016, Wild is designed for people seeking casual connections rather than a set path toward a relationship. The platform supports casual dating, flirting, hookups, and friends-with-benefits arrangements, letting users define what they want from a match instead of assuming every conversation is headed toward commitment.

Every member on Wild must complete verification before using the app

Wild requires 100% forced verification, meaning the process is mandatory rather than optional. The company says this real-person verification step is central to how members connect, aiming to address safety and trust concerns common on casual dating platforms.

What to Do When a Storm Wrecks Your Trees, According to a Niagara Falls Expert

Niagara Falls, NY – – September 19, 2026 -- Niagara County homeowners dealing with storm-damaged trees are being urged to prioritize safety before any cleanup begins, according to a new HelloNation feature spotlighting Tree Service Expert Brandon Lindke of BL Tree Care, LLC. The article walks through how to spot hidden hazards left behind by severe weather and when to bring in a professional crew.

Safety comes before cleanup after any storm

The feature stresses that homeowners should wait until a storm fully passes before inspecting damage, since weakened trees and saturated or shifted soil can move without warning. Fallen branches, split trunks, and exposed roots can remain dangerous long after the wind dies down. Before approaching any tree, the article recommends scanning the area for downed power lines, hanging limbs, and leaning trunks that may not be visible from a distance.

Five priorities define the collection's approach to hair quality

How to Downgrade From iOS 27 Without Losing Your iPhone Data

New York – September 19, 2026 -- iPhone users who installed the iOS 27 beta and want out now have two options: Apple's official recovery-mode restore, which wipes the device entirely, or a third-party downgrade tool that claims to preserve personal data during the process.

Apple's own method erases everything on the phone

To remove iOS 27 through Apple's official channel, users must first back up their device while still on iOS 26, since an iOS 27 backup cannot be restored onto iOS 26. The process requires disabling Find My iPhone, connecting the device to a PC or Mac, entering Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up, then Volume Down, then holding the Side Button, and using iTunes or Finder to restore the device. This wipes all data on the iPhone.
