A bottle of Don Julio Real will run you $350, but if that’s not hype enough for you this National Tequila Day (Tuesday, July 24), why not drop $550,000 on the most epic tequila-inspired vacation of all time?

The former Most Interesting Man in the World, Jonathan Goldsmith, wants to celebrate your shared love of tequila and luxury by agave-ing and dining you on an extravagant trip. Hot air balloon ride? Heck yes. A sailing trip? Sure, skippy! Drinking tequila with a hand-rolled cigar in hand? Obviously.

Goldsmith and Astral Tequila are taking applicants for The Most Interesting Trip in the World, a 10-person weekend getaway featuring a private flight to an undisclosed location; Mexican cigars; a staff featuring a personal mixologist, photographer, and social media advisor; plenty of room to do activities; and unlimited Astral Tequila.

Un. Limited. That applies to the cigars as well.

The weekend is here my friends. Pour yourself a glass. #ThisCallsforTequila

The weekend is a celebration of Goldsmith’s favorite things (which just so happen to be ours as well). If you’ve got the cheddar to drop on this crazy tequila adventure (think of it this way: the price of admission is just $55,000 for you and nine of your buddies), bring your best grooming supplies because Astral’s professional photographer will be crouching starboard to capture you in all your glory. The best image from the trip will be turned into a meme by Astral.

During the vacay, you’ll also get intimate lessons from Goldsmith on “how to stay interesting” because while binge-watching season two of Queer Eye with three boxes of mac and cheese is fun, it is not so interesting.

Goldsmith really does hit all the criteria for the most interesting man in the world, having traveled the world over, saved “a couple lives,” survived hurricanes, summited mountains, and being the personal guest of Barack Freaking Obama at Camp David and the White House. Don’t believe us? Here’s our full interview with the legend himself.

So, interested in being more interesting and drinking unlimited tequila? Contact Astral’s “Head of Exclusive and Extravagant Experience” (yep, that’s a job) and empty your bank account.

Costco Kirkland products are actually items made by Duracell, Keurig, Reynolds, Starbucks, and other big names
You've been getting a deal on top-end products all along

There's something pretty astonishing that starts happening to everyone around the mid-30s mark. A pure, unadulterated love for Costco. Sure, there may have been a healthy appreciation in those younger years. A love for the $1.50 hot dog and soda deal, perhaps. An impromptu trip here or there with a parent whose card got you through the door. But somewhere between a first mortgage and a couple of kids, you probably started seeing the signs. They start subtly - a lingering gaze at the stacked sweatpants, tempting you with their fleecy softness. Asking the hair-netted sample lady if those mini artichoke quiches are organic. Before you know it, you have your own damned membership card, and all of your gym socks come in packs of 24. It's happened to the best of us. And with this adoration for Costco inevitably comes the love for all things Kirkland, the beloved Costco brand whose label is stuck on just about anything you can find in the enormous store, from batteries to rotisserie chickens.

But have you ever wondered where those Kirkland products come from? If you're anything like us, you may have just mindlessly assumed that there was some humungous Kirkland factory spewing out all of these products on some obscure, magical Nebraskan farm. Or, perhaps you're more rational than that and actually realized that many Kirkland-labeled products are not uniquely Costco's at all. Many of Costco's popular Kirkland products actually come from big brand-name companies that allow Costco to rebrand them for a fee. Perhaps even more surprising is that this isn't anything new or a process that's only used by Costco. Many retailers tap big-name brands to do this.

Apple cider vinegar: Should you really be taking shots of this pungent potion?
We love a good fermented food, but should you be drinking this one?

Wanting to look and feel your best is natural. Feeling this way allows you to live life to the fullest, nail a workout, focus on the job, and sleep better. Thanks to the internet and especially social media, there is no shortage of ideas on achieving longevity and enjoying life. One such way is consuming apple cider vinegar daily.

The pantry staple for salad dressings and marinades can purportedly help you lose weight, manage blood sugar, and improve heart health. Kim Kardashian called a raw version of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar a "miracle ingredient." No shame if you loved yourself a good Keeping Up With the Kardashians marathon. However, taking medical advice from a Kardashian isn't recommended, and not every social media fad is a good one.
Believe it or not, there is some science behind the purported benefits of apple cider. Still, you'll proceed cautiously, especially if you are living with certain conditions. Here's what to know about reported apple cider vinegar weight loss benefits and more.

What was once a Portland novelty has grown into a brand synonymous with the Rose City. En route, VooDoo Doughnut grew a little too big for its own good and lost sight of the same eccentric sweets that made it famous.
