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.

Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
