Sleep Well Knowing You’re Getting A Deal with Casper and Brooklinen

If there’s one thing you can rely on in this world – it’s sleep (unless you have a severe case of insomnia).

What is not always reliable when it comes to sleeping – is a good night of sleep. We spend a third of our lives doing it – so why not make the best of it?

First, let us introduce you to Casper.

It’s not a ghost, but it will make a crappy nights sleep a thing of the past. Mattresses make all the difference – so what’s so different about

Casper? Well, Casper is an American made mattress sold – wait for it – directly to customers online.

Yep, eliminating the middle-man, inflated prices, and absolutely worst of all, a dreaded shopping trip. Think Warby Parker.

Casper mattresses come in six standard US sizes – Twin, Twin XL, Full Size, Queen Size, King Size, and California King.

The mattress is developed in-house by engineers and the surface of the bed is made from a critically acclaimed premium latex foam which contours to

your body for maximum comfort, continues to stay cool during those warm summer nights, and has just the right amount of bounce.

Your new best friend gets shipped to you in a box using a patented compression machine. And what if you don’t like your mattress? You have 100 days to test it out. If you don’t like it – the company will offer a full refund.

Welcome to the future my friends.

And while you’re at it – make sure to cover your new bed in Brooklinen. Start out with the Classic Core Set. Designed in Brooklyn (get it?)

These sheets are soft, cool and crisp. It’s like sleeping on the cool side of the pillow every. single. night. Made from a single ply with 60 count yarns and over 270 thread count. The classic collection is the perfect start to a new life of good sleep.

Check out Casper here.

And buy yourself some sheets while you’re at it here.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.
Novak Djokovic

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.

The squads that couldn't be further apart in world rankings (Argentina is No. 1 and Cape Verde is No. 67) clashed in what resulted in one of the best thrillers in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, because this was David against Goliath.
