Kim Kardashian West Says She’s Reusing Old Baby Furniture for Chicago’s Nursery

The non-stick ceramic pan is a true overachiever – serving as your go-to for *10* different cooking functions. With the Hero, you can boil, strain, sautée, simmer, pan-fry, sear, braise, steam, stir fry, and of course… serve. Clean-up time is massively expedited, thanks to this appliances’ expertly constructed non-stick lining that’s free of toxic forever-chemicals like PTFE, PFOA, and PFOS.

Though it fits a reasonably large 4-quart capacity, the pan boasts a clever lightweight build to make movin’ around the kitchen – think pouring, straining, serving, and cleaning – a total breeze. The pan also comes prepared with a stainless steel steamer basket if you’re in for tender-soft veggies in minutes.

It’d be a *crime* not to mention that the Hero Pan, like the rest of the Beautiful collection, is undoubtedly beautiful. Available for purchase in four matte hues, from dark Black Sesame, darling Cornflower Blue, to carefree Sage Green, and a stark White Icing, this kitchen pick matches any interior lovingly.

We’ll grab at any opportunity to simplify the cooking process even just a bit, and firmly believe you should, too. You can get your hands on Drew’s versatile Hero Pan exclusively at Walmart, alongside air fryers, slow cookers, and portable blenders.

Traditional air purifiers use HEPA filters which could allow some pollutants to escape, grow, or re-release into the air. Molekule uses PECO filters, a new technology that is said to destroy the pollutants entirely. This tech could be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from allergies. The Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America notes that not only do more than 50 million people experience allergies each year but that allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the US. Although there is no cure for allergies, thanks to this tech, long-time allergy sufferers, like six-time Dancing with the Stars winner Derek Hough, can finally breathe a little easier.

“I honestly would rather have the flu than an allergy attack when I'm on stage,” said the Emmy Award-winning star who has struggled with allergies his entire life but never considered part of the problem could be in his own home.“My brain didn't even go to ‘Oh, there's bad air quality in my house, or in my bedroom,’” Hough said. "I have pets, and I live in California and we have a lot of wildfires, unfortunately, and a lot of that air gets trapped inside our homes — my home. So as I was learning about it I was like, 'Well, this sounds like a great product not only just to capture these particles but to actually destroy them.' "

When Hough first tried the Molekule, he noticed an almost instantaneous difference in the air. “I usually wake up with puffy eyes and runny nose and just a bad start to the day all around. When I put the Molekule in there, I immediately woke up feeling fresh, feeling great, and I was honestly just like, "Wait...this is an awesome product; this is fantastic!”

Hough added it gives him peace of mind to know that he’s coming home to a safe haven for him to recharge and refuel and isn’t just sitting in allergens.

During performances when Hough would have an allergic attack, he would sneeze a lot, have a runny nose and “essentially be dancing blind.” Now that Molekule has released its new Air Mini, he can carry that peace of mind on-the-go. "I can put it on the tour bus, or I can put it in the dance studio, or I can take it with me on the road."

Jaya Rao, COO of Molekule, states that the "Air Mini enables us to reach even more people with the latest innovations in home air purification...Now with Air Mini, even more consumers can reap the benefits of our PECO technology, as it destroys indoor air pollutants and provides truly clean air."

Air pollution can affect more than just your coordination. It can cause a variety of illnesses and affect your lungs and cardiovascular health. If you’re seeking an alternative to traditional humidifiers and air filters, try the Air Mini for half the price of the full-size Molekule.

Venice, Italy

Bali, Indonesia

Once an idyllic paradise, Bali now suffers from traffic congestion, environmental degradation, and overcrowded beaches. The island’s resources are strained under the weight of mass tourism, but there are efforts underway to promote sustainability like putting a moratorium on new hotels.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Overtourism has led to erosion and damage to this ancient Incan citadel. A quota system and mandatory guides are helping preserve this popular South American destination.

Tulum, Mexico

Once a tranquil paradise known for its pristine beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, and eco-chic vibe, Tulum has become a cautionary tale of overtourism. The surge in popularity, fueled by Instagram-worthy scenery, has brought overcrowding, environmental strain, and rising costs. The Guardianreported that locals are being pushed out by developers and despite the thinking that tourism helps local communities, poverty nearly doubled between 2015 and 2020. Local ecosystems, including fragile mangroves and coral reefs, are threatened by unchecked construction and pollution too. The local ruins have implemented stricter rules like no food or drink to limit trash and environmental impact from tourists.

Santorini, Greece

Instagram fame has turned this once-serene island into a tourist hotspot. Narrow streets are perpetually clogged, and locals are struggling with soaring costs of living due to tourism demand. The government has since capped the number of daily cruise ship visitors to keep overtourism at bay.

Cinque Terre, Italy

Known for its colorful cliffside villages and breathtaking coastal views, these once-quiet fishing towns now see millions of visitors annually, way more than they can handle. To combat issues like congestion and cruise ships, local authorities have introduced visitor caps and encourage sustainable travel to protect Cinque Terre’s charm.

Reykjavík, Iceland

Is there anyone not going to Iceland these days? A small country with breathtaking landscapes, Iceland has been overwhelmed by tourists flocking to Instagram-famous sites like the Blue Lagoon and Diamond Beach. It's best to travel during the off season (November to April) and travel to lesser known spots like the Sturlungalaug hot spring.

Maya Bay, Thailand (Phi Phi Islands)

This iconic beach, popularized by the DiCaprio film The Beach, suffered ecological devastation from hordes of visitors and anchored boats. Coral reefs were destroyed, and the beach was closed for years to allow recovery. It has since reopened after a huge revitalization project, but they have introduced visitor caps.

Kyoto, Japan

Traditionally quiet streets of this ancient capital city now teem with tourists during peak season. An increase in litter from tourists has required the city to install more trash bins to handle the crowds, and peaceful geishas are often chased down for photos. To mitigate the problem, Kyoto is considering running special buses to popular sites to reduce overcrowding, and temples and shrines are encouraging visitors to come early in the morning.

Mount Everest, Nepal

The ultimate challenge for adventurers, Mount Everest has experienced overcrowding on the slopes and at base camps, leading to dangerous conditions, with litter and human waste piling up on the mountain. Permits are now harder to get, and stricter regulations for climbers are being enforced.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Game of Thrones effect brought an influx of fans to this medieval city. Overcrowded streets and cruise ship arrivals have made it difficult to appreciate its beauty. The local government is taking steps to limit daily visitors and impose stricter cruise ship regulations.

Lisbon, Portugal

Short-term rentals dominate the housing market now, thanks to affordable flights and the digital nomad craze. This has led to skyrocketing rents and displaced locals. Historic neighborhoods are inundated with tourists, making them less charming too. Everything from public transport to waste management struggles to keep pace with the influx. I went in December and it still felt a bit like Disneyland. Douro Valley and Madeira might be more favorable destinations any time of year.
