I've been using Nespresso's spill-proof iced coffee cup, and it's the best $25 you'll spend this summer
TikTok loves Nespresso's Nomad Iced Coffee Cup. It's probably why it's never in stock. So when I saw the brand had introduced its viral $25 tumbler in a summery pistachio shade, I ran to the checkout to get my hands on it.
Two weeks in, and I get the hype.
This thing really is spill-proof, and I'm so confident that it won't leak that I've been happily throwing it in my work bag every morning, right next to my laptop and my Kindle. Now that's trust.
Best of all, because of Nespresso's new Samra Origins collab, the cup is currently available to buy at Nespresso.com for $25. But if the pistachio collection is anything to go by, I'm expecting it to sell out any minute now.
Here's why the Nespresso Nomad iced coffee cup is the best purchase I've made to help me survive the sweltering heat of my commute this summer.
The Nespresso iced tumbler is spill-proof, dishwasher-safe, and infinitely reusable. The limited-edition Samra Origins colorway also comes with fun illustrations along the bottom of the cup.
It's finally iced coffee season, and from now through to September, you won't find me without a frosty coffee in hand. But there's an art to iced coffee, and I much prefer the strong, flavorful stuff I make at home over the glorified milkshakes you can buy at some coffee shops.
And many Nespresso users agree, opting to make a coffee to-go every morning over stopping in for a Starbucks on the way to work.
Which is why Nespresso created the Nomad tumbler, complete with an 18-oz capacity and a smart straw cap that is totally spill-free. I've even tipped this thing upside-down to see if it can survive a chaotic car ride, and I didn't lose a drop of my precious iced vanilla latte.
Assembly is easy, and cleaning is intuitive. Plus, the cup can go through the dishwasher to prevent any lingering smells or nasty residue.
The real magic is in the plastic cap which sits over the straw. This blocks any iced coffee from leaving through the cap around the straw insert, and it stays securely in place no matter how much you shake the cup.
I also really love the ribbed section around the middle of the cup, which provides some grip when your plastic gets slippy with condensation.
Now I've been using this coffee cup for two weeks, I don't think I could phase it out of my routine. But the one thing I wish it had was a little insulation.
The lightweight tritan body won't provide any support in keeping your ice cubes intact if you're taking your morning coffee on the go, which means my drink gets a little watery if I take my iced coffee on the sweltering London Underground and wait until I get to the office to take a sip.
Nespresso's travel mugs are my go-to for hot coffee, and they keep my Americanos piping hot all through the morning.
So Nespresso, if you're reading this, would you consider making a double-walled iced coffee cup to help me keep my cool?

I've been to every hotel on the Las Vegas Strip — but there are just 5 that I'll always revisit.
Mandalay Bay has some of the best pools in Las Vegas. Mandalay Bay may be a bit south on The Strip, but it's still worth a visit. I love that it offers plenty of activities, like the on-site Shark Reef Aquarium. This hotel's 11-acre "aquatic playground" is also one of the coolest pool complexes in the entire city. You'll find a lazy river, wave pool, and more — but my favorite is the Moorea Beach Club, an adults-only, tops-optional pool complex with cabanas and daybeds for rental. The real draw for me, though, is that even the most basic-level rooms feel big and bright, with 550 square feet of space and floor-to-ceiling windows. I love that NoMad has a sleek aesthetic and a quiet, private pool. A luxurious "hotel within a hotel," NoMad spans the top four floors of Park MGM. Compared to Park MGM's cheery and bright decor, NoMad has a darker, moodier aesthetic. The rooms include original artwork, hardwood floors, and beautiful small touches throughout. Whenever I stay here, I feel like I'm in a luxe, big-city apartment instead of a hotel room. One of my favorite amenities is the quiet pool reserved for NoMad guests, who can enjoy all of Park MGM's pools and cabanas even when the pool is closed. Vdara is a great casino-free pick for families. Vdara is a rare Vegas resort without any casinos, making this a great option for non-gamblers, families, and business travelers. (Still, if you're looking to visit a blackjack table, you can easily visit the nearby casinos at the Aria, the Bellagio, and Cosmopolitan.) The modern suites with full kitchens provide an apartment-style experience. Plus, Vdara offers large windows with the best views of the Bellagio fountains and bright Vegas sunsets. My favorite budget hotel is the Flamingo. This is the best of the budget options on The Strip — and it's located right in the middle of all the action. Whenever I'm here, I can easily walk to the monorail, High Roller Ferris wheel, and shopping hubs, like the LINQ Promenade. When it comes to the hotel itself, I love the Flamingo's outdoor garden and Wildlife Habitat (which, yes, features real Chilean flamingoes). I also enjoy visiting the adults-only GO Pool. Offering the atmosphere of a day club, pool enthusiasts line up well before it opens to claim chairs and daybeds. Music blasts all day and there are waterfalls, small lounging islands, and even outdoor craps tables. Finally, the Flamingo has several stellar restaurant options. One of my favorites is Bugsy & Meyer's, a steakhouse with vintage decor and a facade that resembles an old general store. Out of all the hotels I've visited, the Wynn is my favorite. The Wynn Las Vegas (and its sister hotel, Encore) is my absolute favorite hotel complex in all of Las Vegas. The rooms are modern, spacious, and comfortable. Plus, I love that they include thoughtful touches like nice stemware and tablets for room controls, room service, and more. I'm also consistently impressed by the Wynn's food options. You'll find tons of high-quality restaurants here, including one of the few buffets on The Strip. Personally, I always look forward to having a sumptuous dinner at SW Steakhouse — and then, visiting the lakeside patio for a quirky light show.

This is the one thing you should never put in a TSA bin — it's the top item stolen at security, expert warns
If you've ever dropped your phone into a TSA bin and sent it down the conveyor belt — as most air travelers have done — you might want to rethink that casual habit. In a now-viral TikTok, travel expert Tiffany (@ shares a critical piece of advice she says she learned the hard way: never place your phone directly into a TSA bin. Instead, she always keeps hers zipped securely inside her bag. 'The thing I'm absolutely never doing when I'm going through TSA — I am not putting my phone directly into one of the containers,' she says in the video, which has now racked up hundreds of thousands of views. 'It's always going in a zipped pocket in my bag.' Tiffany recalls being corrected by a TSA officer who caught her placing her phone loose in a bin. 'The TSA agent looked at me and was like, 'You don't like your phone?'' she recounts. 'I said, 'Yes?' And he said, 'This is the fastest way to get it stolen.'' According to Tiffany, the agent told her that phones are the number one item stolen at airport security. The issue, she explains, is timing: when lines back up or bins pile up, travelers often aren't paying close attention to their belongings. That moment of distraction is all it takes. Viewers were quick to sound off in the comments — many in disbelief. 'Wait WHAT! I always do this. Never again,' one person wrote. Another added, 'This happened to me. Lost my phone before a 10-hour flight — worst feeling ever.' Others chimed in with their own hacks: some tuck their phones into shoes, while others swear by interior zipper pouches or belt bags they keep on until the last second. Tiffany's closing advice is simple but effective: 'Always make sure your valuables are zipped up [inside] your bag when they go through the scanners.' It's a small change that could save you hundreds of dollars — and a whole lot of airport stress.

3 ChatGPT Prompts To Make Money While Traveling In 2025
Travel around the world and working as a digital nomad unleashes creativity, so your career and ... More freelance business can thrive It's almost the peak of the summer, and that means PTO. Time with family and the kids, traveling abroad for a friend's destination wedding, or just that well-deserved solo adventure to explore the world and meet new people and cultures. But unfortunately, while you're 'out of office,' the world doesn't stop. You're likely racking up bills and expenses, and might even run through your credit cards just so you're able to have a good time. When you come back, there's the grim reality of work, probably a job you hate working in anyway. And if you're reading this and can barely afford to travel on vacation this summer, chances are you've always wished you could just pack your bags and explore, and make money while doing it. You've seen Instagram reels and TikTok videos of influencers and self-proclaimed experts showing off their glam lifestyles, having meetings while they sip coffee at a buzzing yet chilled café in Barcelona, or completing projects from the top of a mountain or at the beach. And you've always put that off as, 'That's not practical for me right now,' or 'If only I could make money while I travel too.' Last year, I had the rare opportunity to travel to the beautiful tropical island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean--not once, not twice, but three times! I fell in love with the place so much that in May this year, I finally packed up all my belongings in the U.K., closed everything down, and moved internationally as a digital nomad to stay in St. Lucia for a few years. If I was working at a traditional 9-5 job, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this level of freedom. But since I have the ability to monetize my skills online independently of a job, I was able to generate multiple income streams and launch new services and products, even while traveling, vacationing part of the time, or lounging on the patio. Making money while touring traveling and living on your own terms, without being tied to location, is possible. The fastest way to get a work-from-anywhere remote job is to be strategic, use AI as your business partner/assistant, and understand the power of leverage. Here are some ChatGPT prompts you can use to fund your next vacation…or even better, so you can live your dream of traveling and working as a digital nomad, without the restrictions of an employer who doesn't allow remote working from a specific country, or even permit WFH at all. Try this ChatGPT workflow to generate income while you're on the move: Create a step-by-step guide for [specific pain-point your target audience is facing]. Incorporate my brand voice into the guide. For your information, my brand voice is [describe your personality and brand voice, i.e. witty, empowering, casual, motivational, personal, practical, etc.] Why this prompt works: This ChatGPT prompt will help you go from ideation (having a great idea stuck in your head) to actually putting on paper…well, e-paper anyway. You get the point. From there, you can customize and tweak it, then design it on Canva. You don't need a designer's eye or design experience to make it visually appealing either, because Canva has plenty of templates to work from. And if you're not too impressed by the templates, you can start from scratch and ask ChatGPT to give you mock-ups and ideas for the design and layout. Once created, you can sell as a digital product online, and promote it across your website, LinkedIn, your blog, and anywhere else that your business is visible. But this step alone is not enough. Let's move to prompt two: What should I price a guide like this? Also please give me a funnel outline that leads my target clients from purchasing the guide (or obtaining it for free as a lead magnet) to a higher-tier paid offer. Why this prompt works: You want to ensure you're positioning yourself and your offer in a way that does not leave money on the table. You can ask follow-up questions to further understand pricing strategy and to figure out what makes sense for the guide you're offering. You could sell it for $9, $15, even $29--but it's up to you to figure out what works and most importantly, why. Don't just take ChatGPT's answer for what it is. Keep prodding it with questions and research what others in your niche (or similar) are charging. Finally, with the funnel aspect of this prompt, this ensures that if you're offering the resource as a free lead magnet, you have a clear idea of where your audience would be guided to next, and what they would be charged for. You'd then need to think about what automation and systems need to be in place so that you can get paid, even if you're not physically present, because the whole idea is to have a system that runs without you so you can travel and enjoy life, instead of being tied to your job all day. Develop a 30-day marketing and engagement plan to help me market [name of step-by-step guide] to my target audience, using these channels [list one or two social media platforms like LinkedIn, email marketing, etc.]. Include the different types of posts or content I'd need to write and create, and what times they need to be scheduled for. Why this prompt works: If you set in motion a solid marketing strategy before you decide to fly out, your business will effectively run on autopilot. You'll have posts scheduled way in advance so you won't need to worry about posting while you're traveling. All you'll need to do is engage with your network and respond to comments and requests that come through. Now, to set expectations clearly: this ChatGPT prompt strategy isn't going to make you a millionaire overnight, absolutely not. However, it starts the process and halves your work and production time, so you can start making passive income from your expertise and solve real problems with your skills, without needing to work long hours, overtime, or worry about work or money while on vacation. When done right and executed with consistency, you set the wheels in motion so you can eventually get to the point where your "step-by-step guide" or whatever else you decide to create as a digital product, kicks off an entirely new career…one where you're not a slave to your desk, but you're free to travel, work as a digital nomad like I did, and genuinely enjoy life. Here are a couple of things to beware of when starting to build passive income with ChatGPT: Ready to embark on a journey of adventure and live your dream life, working from whatever location you wish and earning while you travel? Here's a quick recap of what we discussed in this article, so you can start building this lifestyle for yourself now: To make money while traveling, plan, schedule, batch create, and automate Do I need to be a tech expert to make money from ChatGPT prompts? No you don't. These prompts can be copied into your ChatGPT chat and adapted to your specific needs and industry vertical. Can I make money from traveling? Yes, you can monetize your existing skills while traveling, or take inspiration from your travels and start a travel blog/vlog, or host retreats and workshops around the world.
