What is the Ideal Length for a Maldives Getaway
The Maldives is not a destination designed for speed. Its appeal lies in isolation, rhythm, and the luxury of doing very little without guilt. Once you arrive on your island, the outside world effectively disappears — there are no cities to hop between, no attractions to tick off, and no schedules competing for attention. This means the “ideal” length of stay is less about efficiency and more about allowing enough time for your body and mind to recalibrate. The Maldives rewards patience, presence, and unstructured time in a way few destinations can.

What is Slow Travel by Yacht and Why It's the Most Enriching Way to Discover Indonesia's Hidden Islands
Slow travel by yacht is not simply a holiday style — it is a mindset. At its heart, slow travel means absorbing a destination intimately rather than racing through highlights. In Indonesia, a country of more than seventeen thousand islands, this philosophy becomes even more powerful. A yacht allows travellers to drift through remote archipelagos at a thoughtful pace, with the freedom to linger where beauty is deepest and connection feels effortless. The experience shifts travel from a checklist to a rich, unfolding narrative shaped by water, solitude, and untouched landscapes.

Recapping an Amazing Night for the Knockouts on Impact's AMC Premiere
The broadcast history of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has always been quite interesting. TNA started in 2002, but it wasn't until 2004 that they had an actual TV deal. I remember their days on Fox Sports Net, but it was in the fall of 2005 that TNA moved to what was then known as Spike TV, moving there just days after the network aired WWE's Raw program for the final time. It was around that time that I started watching TNA, and they were on Spike for nine years. After that, it was years of being on a lot of different channels. Destination America and Pop, two channels that no one would know without TNA. It's similar to how TruTV airs the earliest March Madness games. I still remember the brief time when they were on Twitch in 2019, but that ended that fall when they moved to AXS TV.

The Soul of the Stone: Why I’m Betting on Oval Diamonds This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day has a funny way of making us overthink everything. We obsess over the reservation, the flowers, and—most nerve-wracking of all—the ring. For years, I’ve watched friends and colleagues agonize over finding a diamond that isn't just a status symbol, but a reflection of their partner's personality. In my time exploring the nuances of jewelry and the emotions behind proposals, I’ve realized that we often overlook the most important factor: the "vibe" of the stone itself.
