Lifestyle & Leisure

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If your idea of a perfect escape includes speed, sun, and a living space that feels like a boutique hotel suite at sea, the Princess S65 is calling your name—and it’s available for immediate delivery.

A Sportbridge That Feels Like a Lifestyle Upgrade

The Princess S65 is described as “recognisably S Class,” and that’s exactly the vibe: sleek lines, striking graphic styling, and the kind of presence that turns a marina stroll into a slow-motion movie moment. But this isn’t just a pretty silhouette. It’s built around flexible indoor-to-outdoor living—because on the water, your “living room” should be wherever the view is best.

Inside, the layout is designed for entertaining without feeling crowded. With four cabins, including a full-beam master stateroom, it can accommodate up to eight guests, plus a crew cabin with ensuite—so weekends with friends can still feel relaxed, not logistical.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – Jeanneau is expanding its lineup with a brand-new range of power catamarans called TH, designed for boaters who want more space, more stability, and more “let’s stay out one more day” freedom on the water.

A New Catamaran Chapter for a Familiar Brand

Jeanneau says the TH range is meant to fit naturally into the brand’s universe and DNA, while helping accelerate its momentum as a multi-segment leader. In plain terms, this is a new lane for Jeanneau—one that’s built around twin hulls and the specific kind of comfort they can deliver. Power catamarans have been having a moment with modern boaters, especially those who prioritize easy living spaces and relaxed cruising over a hyper-sporty, closed-in feel.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If your idea of luxury is less about showing off and more about exhaling, Jeanneau’s new Sea Loft 480 is built for exactly that mood: slower days, quieter water, and time that finally feels like yours again.

The Sea As Your Address

Jeanneau frames the Sea Loft 480 as a new kind of habitat—part cruising boat, part traveling villa—meant for people who want their days to feel softer and more intentional. The big idea is simple: the sea isn’t just a destination, it’s the place you “live” for a while. It’s designed for shared moments, not rushed itineraries, with a layout meant to feel natural and home-like rather than “boat technical.”

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda—known affectionately as “Aki-chan”—just did something you don’t see every day: he walked into a high school classroom in Japan and taught a special lesson about cars, life, and what he hopes the next generation carries forward.

A New Kind of School Day in Ehime

The setting wasn’t a lecture hall or a boardroom. It was FC Imabari High School Satoyama in Ehime Prefecture, a private school that opened in April 2024 and is intentionally built around the idea that learning shouldn’t stay trapped inside a classroom.

One of the school’s defining features is a curriculum that blends studies with real-world projects, including corporate activities and engagement with the local community. In other words: students don’t just learn about life—they practice it, in public.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 18, 2025 – If you’ve ever walked a boat show and thought, “It looks amazing… but how does it feel at sea?”, Naples is about to offer a very different kind of answer. The Napoli Boat Show (NBS) will debut March 18–22, 2026 at Marina di Stabia in Castellammare di Stabia (NA)—with a format built around one simple idea: boats shouldn’t just be displayed, they should be ready to sail.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – Crossing the Atlantic is a bucket-list milestone for many blue-water dreamers, but doing it on your own yacht, under your own command, is something else entirely – and that’s exactly what the Steeler Ocean Explorer 72 Two Bubbles just achieved on her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Barbados.

From Dutch canals to Caribbean blue

The story starts far from palm trees and cocktails. Freshly delivered in the Netherlands, Two Bubbles slipped out into the North Sea and headed south, following a classic ocean route that feels like a farewell tour of Europe: down the Portuguese coastline, past sun-drenched marinas, then on to the Canary Islands and finally Cabo Verde.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – When the world’s leading vaping brand teams up with a freshly crowned Formula 1 champion, you can expect more than just a logo collaboration – you get a collectible piece of design and performance. With the new Vuse Ultra x McLaren F1 Team Limited Edition, Vuse and McLaren Racing celebrate the 2025 F1 season in a device that blends motorsport aesthetics, advanced tech and a distinctly premium, collector-ready feel.

Racing-Inspired Design for Everyday Use

The Limited Edition is inspired directly by the world of Formula 1, turning the sleek lines and colors of the McLaren race car into a device you can hold in your hand. A brushed aluminum housing, transparent back and bold accents in McLaren’s iconic “Racing Papaya” give the Vuse Ultra x McLaren LEP an instantly recognizable look. Every detail is meant to feel engineered rather than simply styled.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 4, 2025 – Holiday shopping is getting a full glam upgrade this year as TJ Maxx hits the road with the first-ever Maxxinista Express, a double-decker tour bus created for the brand’s most devoted superfans. Rolling into Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami this December, the experience turns a day of “Maxx-hopping” between stores into a festive, content-ready celebration of style, community and seriously good deals.

A holiday road trip made for Maxxinistas

The Maxxinista Express is more than a branded bus – it’s a moving love letter to shoppers who swap TJ Maxx hauls, compare “you won’t believe what I got this for” moments and share their finds on social media. The tour takes select fans on a full day of visits to three beloved TJ Maxx stores in each city, complete with surprises and themed challenges along the way.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 4, 2025 – Fans of Hello Kitty®, cuddly plush and over-the-top mall adventures are getting a new reason to smile: the immersive Build-A-Bear x Hello Kitty and Friends Workshop experience is going national. After a hugely successful debut in Los Angeles, Build-A-Bear Workshop and Sanrio® are opening two new themed Workshops at American Dream in New Jersey and Mall of America in Minnesota in early 2026.

From LA hit to nationwide fan destination

The first Build-A-Bear & Hello Kitty and Friends Workshop quickly became a must-visit spot in Los Angeles, drawing collectors, families and longtime Sanrio fans who wanted more than just another store visit. It proved there’s something uniquely powerful about choosing a character, stuffing it yourself and sealing it with the signature Heart Ceremony in a world filled with bows, pastel colors and iconic faces.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – Standing just metres from a glowing lava lake, clipped into a rope 600 metres inside an active volcano, most people would be thinking about getting out as fast as possible – but for German adventure photographer and filmmaker Ulla Lohmann, that’s exactly where she feels most alive. For more than 25 years, she has chased eruptions, lava flows and extreme landscapes around the world, turning a childhood fascination with volcanoes into a dream career that blends travel, storytelling and science.

From childhood volcano fan to National Geographic storyteller

Ulla’s path into adventure photography started young. At eight years old, her father took her to Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Pompeii, where she fell in love with what she calls “the breath of the earth”. That mix of danger, history and raw power never left her.
