Mrs. Maisel truly is marvelous. After her life hits an unexpected road bump, 1950s housewife Miriam (Midge) Maisel decides to shake things up even more and become a stand-up comedian. The show is heartfelt and hilarious, and the Prime Video series was an instant hit when it premiered in 2017.

Not only does the first season of the show have more than 18,000 4.8 out of 5 star ratings, but the series as a whole has won 20 out of its 66 Emmy Award nominations. Needless to say, we're on the edge of our seat for the fifth season — which is also its last. Keep reading for everything we know.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 - Official Trailer | Prime Video

It's safe to say season four ended with some spicy cliffhangers (all I'm saying is...Lenny Bruce). Now, Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) struggles to balance her family and her potential for fame. She's closer than ever to the success she's dreamed of, but as she says in the trailer, "it's two steps forward, three steps back, and I'm tired."

Midge's relentless drive (and quick wit) is inspiring to watch, especially in an era that led to so much change for women. We can't wait to see how this series comes to a close.

Piper Ratliff's outfits on The White Lotus are exactly what I'm looking to add to my spring and summer wardrobe for 2025. Piper's (Sarah Catherine Hook) style is the perfect mix of bohemian and classy that gives off a certain laidback elegance. And considering I'm a Carolina girl myself (not to mention I'm actually from the beach), I know exactly how to achieve that ultimate vacation vibe. Here are the best sundresses for a White Lotus look...without any of the drama.

Keep reading for the best sundresses to add some Piper Ratliff & White Lotus magic to your summer wardrobe.

How To Get Piper Ratliff's style from 'The White Lotus.'

Fabio Lovino/HBO

Like I mentioned earlier, all of Piper Ratliff's best outfits are a mix of three things: bohemian, classy, and fitted. While the aesthetic is giving girl off duty, her attention to detail means she always looks put together. Because if you ask me, that's the secret to always looking expensive! Her best outfits feature pieces that are fitted in a flattering way, her accessories are intentional, and everything in her outfit is working together. In this case, less is more.

8 Dresses For Summer 2025 Piper Ratliff Would Approve Of

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Emerson Poplin Wide Strap Midi Dress

This gorgeous dress is perfect for both spring and summer, and it's flirty while still offering plenty of coverage. Plus the blue and white color combo is so giving Carolina.

Madewell

Madewell Seamed Squareneck Midi Dress

To channel Piper's more minimalist outfits, this khaki dress is flattering, elevated, and it lets your accessories take center stage.

J. Crew

J. Crew Squareneck Midi Dress

If you prefer to keep your accessories, low-key, a printed dress will do all the heavy lifting for you. And this print is totally giving White Lotus!

Old Navy

Old Navy Fit & Flare Lightweight Smocked Gingham Midi Dress

You can never have too many fit and flair dresses if you ask me. Especially when they feature fluttery sleeves and a dreamy gingham print.

Anthropologie

Anthropologie LSPACE Calla Midi Dress

For the ultimate beachy look, opt for a lightweight, strappy dress. You can wear it over your bathing suit during the day or a colorful bodysuit at night.

J. Crew

J. Crew Fitted-Waist Shirtdress

If there's anything that makes sense for a preppy Carolina girl, it's a collar. Add some raffia sandals for a Piper Ratliff-approved boho edge.

Anthropologie

By Anthropologie Strapless Drop-Waist Midi Dress

Y'all, I can't stop thinking about this dress. The silhouette! The color! The detail! It's the perfect thing to pack for any vacation...whether or not you're showing up to a White Lotus resort. ;)

Amazon Prime has become the go-to for competitive pricing and fast shipping, but what if you could get the same deals without relying solely on the e-commerce giant?

Maybe you don't want to pay for Prime benefits, need an item that doesn't qualify for same-day shipping, or simply aren't interested in supporting the company anymore. Regardless of your reasoning, many major retailers are stepping up their game by offering price-matching policies to ensure you won't overpay.

To cash in on a price match, the product you're looking to buy must be identical, in stock at the competing retailer, and not sold by a third-party vendor on Amazon. Most stores also require you to show proof of Amazon's current price, either on your phone or a printed page with the date visible.

That being said, here are 10 retailers that will match Amazon Prime's prices and help you score the best deals where you prefer to shop.

Scroll to see which stores will actually honor Amazon Prime's low prices!

Ashley Furniture

1. Ashley Furniture

Ashley Furniture is a solid option for those looking to mirror Amazon's prices on home furnishings. As long as the item is sold and shipped directly by Amazon, Ashley will honor the price match.

There is just one catch: the price match only applies to the advertised cost, not discounts applied at checkout. So, if Amazon offers a checkbox coupon or automatic discount during checkout, it won't count.

On the bright side, Ashley Furniture may offer you a 10% promo code for your next purchase as a goodwill gesture if you run into any price-matching issues.

Bed Bath & Beyond

2. Bed Bath & Beyond

Bed Bath & Beyond may have transitioned to being an online-only retailer, but it still offers a wide variety of home essentials for all your needs, from furniture, kitchenware, and linens to home decor and pet supplies.

Whether you're in the market for a new coffee maker or helping your teen stock up for their new college dorm room, Bed Bath & Beyond will match Amazon's prices.

Academy Sports

3. Academy Sports

Academy Sports is a popular spot for purchasing athletic gear, activewear, and even camping tools.

It's important to note that this retailer doesn't ship to Alaska, California, or Hawaii. However, if you live in a state where Academy Sports operates, you can take advantage of its price-matching policy.

The best part? Academy Sports won't just match Amazon's price; the store goes further and beats it by 5%. This extra discount makes the store a stellar option for saving even more on your athletic and outdoor buys.

Dick's Sporting Goods

4. Dick's Sporting Goods

Similar to Academy Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods also has just about anything an athlete or outdoor enthusiast could need — like this bathing suit! And if you find a product sold directly by Amazon for a lower price, Dick's will match it.

There are just a few exceptions, including special flash sales like Amazon's Lightning Deals. Additionally, you'll need to show the live product page on your phone to an associate as opposed to a screenshot, which isn't accepted.

Home Depot

5. Home Depot

Home Depot may be best known for selling heavy-duty building materials and tools. But this retailer also carries home appliances, furniture, cleaning supplies, and gardening essentials.

So, if you want to tackle a DIY project, refresh your outdoor space in time for summer, or just upgrade some items around your house, head over to Home Depot, which will match Amazon's prices on identical items sold and shipped directly by the company.

Lowe's

6. Lowe's

Just like Home Depot, people flock to Lowe's for all of their home upgrading and decorating needs, and Lowe's will honor items priced lower on Amazon.

Keep in mind that there are some exclusions, such as open-box deals, rebates, or free offers. Even so, Lowe's price-matching policy is a great alternative for those looking to save on home improvement.

Target

7. Target

Plenty of people already visit Target when they don't even need anything just to peruse! Why? The retailer is a one-stop shop for just about anything you may want, including art supplies, clothing, kid's toys, electronics, pet supplies, groceries, home goods, holiday decor, and more.

You might not know that Target will match the lower prices you find on Amazon, whether at checkout or within 14 days of your purchase. With this policy, you can benefit from Amazon's prices while still enjoying your Target run because let's be honest: who leaves the store with just one thing?

JCPenny

8. JCPenney

There's no shortage of department stores offering clothes, jewelry, beauty essentials, and home goods nowadays. So, what sets JCPenney apart is its willingness to price match against Amazon, allowing you to continue enjoying the in-store experience on a budget.

Nordstrom

9. Nordstrom

Nordstrom is more well-known for its upscale fashion. Aside from that, it also offers a variety of home goods, jewelry, beauty products, luggage, and other accessories.

This retailer is also popular due to its excellent customer service and generous return policy. Still, Nordstrom has taken it a step further by offering a price-matching policy with Amazon, making it easier to shop for luxury items without breaking the bank.

Staples

10. Staples

Last but certainly not least is Staples. This office supply retailer offers way more than just printer paper or desk chairs. It also carries school necessities, travel essentials, electronics, and home organization tools.

Whether you're re-doing your at-home office or looking to score some high-quality stationery on a budget, Staples will match lower prices found on Amazon for identical products.

The World Happiness Report for 2025 is officially here, and there's a LOT to take away from it — including the happiest countries around the world that you can visit and live in this year. Whether there's better healthcare, more community, and everything in between, some places really are just happier than others. So, without further ado, these are officially the most happy countries in the world for 2025!

Scroll to see what the happiest countries in the world are for 2025!

When did the 2025 World Happiness Report come out?

Yan Krukau

The 2025 World Happiness Report was aptly released on March 20, the International Day of Happiness!

What does the World Happiness Report measure?

FbyF Studio

Published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, the report is based on data from the Gallup World Poll, which surveys individuals in over 140 countries. It ranks nations by happiness using the average life evaluations over the past three years, specifically from 2022 to 2024.

Participants in the survey rate their overall life satisfaction, and these self-assessments determine the rankings. To better understand the factors influencing happiness, the report examines six key indicators: GDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, social support, generosity, personal freedom, and perceptions of corruption.

What rank is USA in World Happiness Report?

Samson Katt

This year, the United States isn't faring so well. This year, our nation dropped to its lowest ranking ever: number 24.

According to Illana Ron-Levey, Gallup's managing director, some of the United States' decline in happiness was "at least partly attributable to Americans younger than age 30 feeling worse about their lives."

Why would some people be less happy in 2025?

Vlada Karpovich

"Today's young people report feeling less supported by friends and family, less free to make life choices, and less optimistic about their living standards," she added.

The good news is that the research shows people are generally kinder than we assume, and recognizing this could boost our happiness and transform how we perceive those around us.

Moreover, there are plenty of extremely happy countries that make desirable travel destinations. Here are some that topped the list in satisfaction.

2025's Happiest Countries In The World

It may not come as a shock that Finland has taken first place for the eighth year in a row. The nation boasts many beneficial policies and initiatives, such as universal health care, as well as a strong social support and education infrastructure. It also has a very low crime rate.

Visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities, too, from soaking up the northern lights under the Arctic sky to hiking in one of Finland's 41 national parks, seeing breathtaking architecture, experiencing Midsummer, a celebration of the summer solstice, and, of course, trying Finnish food.

The runners-up to Finland include Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden in second, third, and fourth place, respectively. Just like Finland, these three countries held onto their global happiness ranking from 2024.

Damir K

Those hoping to visit Denmark can explore its capital city, Copenhagen, which is rich in museums and other cultural experiences, learn about the fascinating history of Vikings, and dine at Michelin award-winning restaurants.

Rudy Kirchner

Over in Iceland, experience unbelievable 24-hour daylight from mid-May to late July, go whale watching, take a diving tour or guided snorkeling trip at Thingvellir National Park, traverse glaciers, relax in geothermal spas, and walk along beautiful black sand beaches.

Shvets Anna

Finally, in Sweden, there are various vibrant cities to check out, like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö. Pop fans must visit the ABBA museum, while culinary connoisseurs need to try authentic Swedish meatballs, and nature lovers can take in all the natural beauty that Sweden is renowned for.

Aside from the Nordic countries, which are dominating the globe in terms of happiness, two Latin American countries also made it into the top 10 for the very first time. Costa Rica ranked at number six, and Mexico at number 10.

Diego Madrigal

If you travel to Costa Rica, you can embark on all kinds of adventures, from hiking and zip-lining to surfing and river rafting.

Bryan Martinez

Or, in Mexico, see the archaeological site Chichen Itza, take a delicious food tour, and sit back on the sand of some stunning beaches.

While I love seeing BookTok-viral novels get turned into movies (hello It Ends With Us!), it's just as fun to see them get turned into TV shows, like Fourth Wing — which is why I had such high hopes for A Court of Thorns and Roses at Hulu...before it got canceled. But believe it or not, the fantasy series cancellation could actually a good thing.

Here's the latest update on the A Court of Thorns and Roses show.

Is the ACOTAR TV show still happening?

KoolShooters/Pexels

A Court of Thorns and Roses TV show has officially be scrapped at Disney’s 20th Television, according to Variety. But ACOTAR fans, don't give up hope! Sarah J. Maas was working with Outlander creator Ronald D. Moore, but now Variety's sources say that after the rights expire at Disney, SJM will be shopping the rights to an ACOTAR show to a different studio and platform.

Honestly, I'm totally here for this because a platform like Prime or Max would provide a different kind of edge and aesthetic to the series that would serve it in a different way. And if we have to wait a little longer for a platform SJM feels most aligned with, I'm willing to stick it out!

On February 27, 2024, Sarah J. Maas reportedly went out to coffee with Margot Robbie. Margot's production company (LuckyChap) has backed projects like I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn. Everything Margot touches turns to gold so I really hope she eventually ends up on the creative team for A Court of Thorns and Roses!

Who plays Rhysand in ACOTAR?

Jared Subia/Unsplash

We never got an official cast announcement, but there are plenty of ACOTAR fancasts.

Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca in Netflix's hit series Bridgerton, would be the PERFECT addition to the cast, whether she plays Elain or Feyre. And now, I honestly don't know if I'll be satisfied with anyone else ;). "She is ELAIN," one TikTok user comments. "Literally copy paste from my brain Elain."

Deuxmoi (via Marie Claire Australia) revealed some potential actors who could be in the running, like Thomas Doherty, Theo James, and Katherine Langford. Actress Brec Bassigner expressed that she'd love to be considered for a role. "I emailed my team, and I was like, ‘Listen, I don’t care if I have one line. I have to be a part of this,'" she says in an interview with TV Line.

Is ACOTAR getting a 6th book?

Amazon

Yes, ACOTAR book 6 is on the way! We don't know who the new book will focus on, but Sarah J. Maas did say she's excited to bring it to us.

"The next book in that series, I have the ideas and general, vague thoughts. But the nitty gritty of writing and the emotional journeys with the characters — I usually love to go on those journeys with them," she said during an appearance on TODAY.

What is A Court of Thorns and Roses about?

Amazon

A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre, a huntress who's forced to live with the immortal faeries after killing a wolf in the woods. The longer she stays in the Fae's world, the more she begins to love it — and the passionate, alluring faerie Tamlin. But as a dark shadow grows, both their world and Tamlin are put in danger, and it's up to Feyre to save them all.

When did the Court of Thorns and Roses series come out?

Amazon

A Court of Thorns and Roses is the first novel in the series of the same name, and was published in 2015. Sarah J. Maas continued the series with A Court of Mist and Fury in 2016, A Court of Wings and Ruin in 2017, A Court of Frost and Starlight in 2018, and A Court of Silver Flames in 2021.
