Eyeing the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer? It's Now at the Lowest Price I've Seen
I recently received the Dyson Supersonic Nural as a gift, and I'm not being dramatic when I say I let out a gasp when I unwrapped it. This thing had been sitting on my wishlist for months, but I never thought I'd actually own it. It felt like someone had handed me the crown jewels of hair tools. (Thanks, Mom!)
Fast-forward a few months and I can confidently say I'm obsessed with it. This isn't one of those fancy gadgets that ends up collecting dust in the back of a drawer or closet. I use it almost daily, and every time I do, I think, "Whoa, this really is that good."
The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer usually isn't on sale. In fact, it's almost never on sale. But right now is the exception because for a limited time, you can find the Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale on Amazon for $399, a 20% discount from its usual $500 price tag. That's its lowest price yet -- and this discount isn't likely to return anytime soon.

How I use my super speedy Dyson hair dryer
Drying my hair used to be a whole production -- arms aching, sweating and annoyed by the end, and still somehow left with frizz and fly-aways. Now, it takes me under 10 minutes, which still kind of blows my mind. I have thick, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair that holds onto moisture like it's a job, so this is no small feat.
The Nural model has this cool feature where it senses how close it is to your scalp and adjusts the heat automatically. I didn't really get what that meant until I used it. Basically, it stops me from roasting my roots while still drying everything quickly.
I usually start with the smoothing nozzle when I want a sleek look, but if I'm feeling lazy or just running late, I'll just rough-dry with no attachment at all. On days when I decide to lean into my natural texture, the diffuser is a game-changer when I scrunch my hair into waves. It doesn't flatten out my curls or make them frizzy like my old dryer did.
It's also a lot quieter than I expected and super lightweight. I've dried my whole head while half-asleep, coffee (or wine if it's the evening) in one hand, Dyson in the other. It really is that easy.
Why the Dyson makes a gasp-worthy gift
Honestly, this is one of those things I never would've bought for myself (hello, price tag), but now that I have it, I can't imagine going back. It's the ultimate "treat yourself" item, but in this case, someone else treated me and I'll never stop being grateful.
If you're looking for a gift that feels luxurious yet practical, this checks all the boxes. Especially now that it's on sale at the lowest price ever. Seriously, now's the time.
My final thoughts
The Dyson Supersonic Nural isn't just hype; it's genuinely made my hair styling better. I don't dread drying my hair anymore. In fact, I kind of enjoy it? Which, for me, is pretty amazing.
If you're on the fence about it or you've been eyeing it forever like I was, this Memorial Day sale might just be the nudge you need.

Disney & Amazon Advertising Units Team Up: 'We're Breaking Down Traditional Barriers Between Content And Commerce'
The advertising divisions of Amazon and Disney are joining forces to open up new opportunities for streaming buyers. Under the partnership, Disney's Real-Time Ad Exchange and Amazon's demand-side platform (DSP) are being integrated. The team-up will give advertisers direct access to Disney premium inventory on Disney+, ESPN, Hulu and other platforms. Buyers will also be able to gain data from both companies that will make targeting more precise and incomes more efficient, the companies said. More from Deadline Netflix Adds Yahoo To Its Roster Of Programmatic Advertising Partners Amazon Ads & Roku Set Landmark Pact Giving Brands Access To 80% Of Connected-TV Households Byron Allen Reaches Settlement With McDonald's In Lawsuit Claiming Racial Bias In Advertising The initiative was announced at Cannes Lions, a day after Amazon's DSP also forged a major pact with Roku, giving advertisers access to more than 80% of U.S. connected-TV households. The Amazon-Disney pact will deliver curated deal packages through products like Disney's Magic Words contextual targeting and the upcoming connection to Disney Select, Disney's proprietary data offering. Advertisers on Amazon DSP will also soon be able to create specialized campaigns matching Disney's audience data with browsing, streaming and purchase insights from Amazon Ads. Enabling that specialization will be a direct collaboration between Amazon Publisher Cloud and Disney Compass, a data collaboration platform providing seamless access to all its planning, activation, and measurement capabilities. In an example provided by Amazon and Disney, a pet food brand could reach viewers who both watch Disney programming and have an interest in pet products sold on Kelly MacLean, VP of Amazon DSP at Amazon Ads, called the collaboration 'a significant leap forward in advertising effectiveness.' She added, 'We're breaking down traditional barriers between content and commerce signals, allowing advertisers to deliver more meaningful experiences to viewers. By connecting Disney's premium content with Amazon's deep consumer understanding, we're creating advertising that works better for everyone – brands reach the right audiences, publishers maximize their inventory value, and viewers see more relevant ads.' By hooking up with Amazon, 'we're enabling greater accessibility to inventory and audience signals that translate into meaningful results for advertisers leveraging Amazon DSP,' said Matt Barnes, VP of Programmatic Sales, Disney Advertising. 'Disney has been on a decades-long journey to unlock data and insights that reflect how our audiences watch and engage with our content. That knowledge has helped us move the needle for our clients and deliver better results–and this integration raises the bar for the wider industry.' Amazon and Disney will begin implementing the integrations with a select group of advertisers in the coming months. Disney+ inventory is also now available through Amazon DSP in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkiye, and the UK – allowing Amazon DSP customers to access it in those territories.

Kirkland's Home is closing dozens of stores in new rebrand, adding to list of retailers shutting locations in 2025
Dozens of Kirkland's Home stores will close as part of the retailer's recently announced rebranding efforts. Some existing stores will be converted to Bed Bath & Beyond Home stores as part of the transformation, the company said this week. Kirkland's will streamline its footprint by closing at least two dozen of its 313 existing Kirkland's Home stores. The company will launch its first Bed Bath & Beyond Home store in Brentwood, Tennessee, in August 2025, with five stores to follow. Pending the initial market launch, the retailer intends to open approximately 75 additional stores through 2026. The Tennessee-based retailer also plans to open its first physical Overstock store location in Nashville, with about 30 additional stores to open after the initial launch. These plans align with Kirkland's broader goal to be a multi-brand retail operator. 'By consolidating real estate and leveraging underperforming store closures to reduce excess inventory, we believe we will drive faster inventory turn and maximize return on assets,' the retailer said in a press release. 'Following the consolidation, we expect to move forward with approximately 290 of our current store locations as the foundational footprint for Kirkland's Home, Bed Bath & Beyond Home, and Overstock.' Fast Company contacted the brand to request a list of locations that will close. We will update this story if we receive a reply. Kirkland's Home rebrand reflects a broader transformation Kirkland's corporate name will officially change to The Brand House Collective pending shareholder approval at the company's next annual meeting on July 24, 2025.

Kirkland's CEO, Amy Sullivan, explained the intention behind the rebrand in the company news release: 'We're aligning our identity with our vision to become a multi-brand merchandising, supply chain and retail operator—and backing it with decisive actions to strengthen our foundation: reducing excess inventory, closing underperforming locations, optimizing real estate assets, and enhancing talent across the organization.' Amy Sullivan will lead as the CEO and chief merchant and creative officer of The Brand House Collective. The company announced the following additions to its corporate team: Chief Operating Officer Jamie Schisler will oversee operations. VP General Merchandising Manager of Bed Bath & Beyond Home Kerri Dlugokinski will lead all merchandising efforts.

Strengthen Your Executive Presence And Influence With These Questions
Exuding executive presence involves an interplay between internal confidence and outward ... More self-mastery and expression Over the years, one theme has surfaced time and again in my work with high-achieving professionals—especially those navigating mid- to senior-level roles. No matter how accomplished they are, many wrestle with a persistent question: Do I truly have what it takes—including strong executive presence—to lead at the highest levels? This question came up in a recent coaching session with a talented professional—let's call her Rebecca. Despite a strong track record, consistent praise from senior leaders, and years of excellent performance reviews, she found herself feeling out of place when presenting to executives. She feared being caught off guard. Her heart would race, her breath would shorten, and her confidence would falter—all before she'd even entered the room. When I asked if she'd ever actually been unable to answer a question or failed to present her data clearly, she said no. In fact, she'd received positive feedback every time. Rebecca's experience is far more common than we realize. Despite external success, many professionals carry self-doubt and even 'imposter syndrome' that shows up at the very moment they most need to project confidence. I've seen this pattern in thousands of individuals I've worked with over the past two decades. And it's often tied to what I call the 7 common 'power and confidence gaps'—persistent internal obstacles that undermine how we see ourselves and how we show up in the workplace (and in our personal lives). Executive Presence: A Widely Used Term Few Can Define A quick Google search of the term 'executive presence' yields over 50 million results. Clearly, it's a hot topic—but ask five people to define it, and you'll likely get five very different answers. When I asked Rebecca what 'executive presence' meant to her, she said, 'Some people just walk into the room and everyone pays attention. They speak with ease. They seem like they belong.' Her impression wasn't based on specific behaviors—it was based on energy, confidence, and perception. The problem? If we can't define executive presence, we can't develop it intentionally. From my experience in both corporate leadership and coaching, I define executive presence as a powerful combination of inner confidence and outward expression—how you carry your knowledge, how you engage with others, and how you project credibility and calm under pressure. While executive presence can look different depending on industry and role, here are the foundational traits I see across leaders who command a room and inspire confidence: Confidence – Speaking and acting in ways that convey belief in your value, ideas, and – Trusting your expertise and owning your space as a decision-maker and thought communication – Using language that is clear, collaborative, and inclusive—without diminishing your contribution – Being willing to offer new ideas, challenge the norm, and take creative under stress – Managing your emotional responses, even in high-stakes mindset – Seeing yourself not only as a contributor but as someone who uplifts and advances mastery – Handling feedback, resistance, and interpersonal conflict with resilience and clarity. Back to Rebecca—what we uncovered wasn't a lack of skill, but a deeper fear: 'Do I deserve to be here?' She recalled seeing one female executive in a recent meeting who seemed to exude presence. 'She didn't say that much,' Rebecca told me, 'but she seemed completely at ease. Everyone deferred to her. It was like she didn't have to prove anything.' This perception wasn't just about how that leader showed up—it was about how Rebecca saw herself in comparison. Too often, high performers internalize subtle workplace messages that suggest they're 'not quite ready,' even when they're delivering exceptional work. Ambiguous feedback, bias, and lack of mentorship can deepen this feeling. Over time, these conditions lead to a persistent sense of being on the outside looking in—even when you're already at the table. And in some organizations, this perception isn't an illusion—there may be real barriers preventing your growth or recognition. In those cases, it's worth asking: Is this culture one that supports and elevates the kind of leader I aspire to be? If you've ever wondered whether you truly have the presence and credibility to lead, these questions can help you assess your current strengths and illuminate areas for growth: 1. Do I have deep knowledge and mastery of my area of responsibility? Can I speak to the key drivers, risks, and opportunities within my domain with clarity and insight? 2. Am I trusted to make strategic contributions that shape outcomes and drive progress? Do others rely on me for perspective, influence, and initiative? 3. Do I actively share ideas, offer solutions, and challenge outdated thinking—even when it feels uncomfortable? 4. Do I receive feedback that affirms my impact and the value I bring to teams and leadership discussions? Is this feedback consistent with my own self-perception—or is there a disconnect? 5. When under pressure or in high-stakes environments, do I stay grounded and communicate with poise? 6. Do I believe I belong in rooms where decisions are made—and act accordingly? 7. If I doubt myself, is that based only on internal fears and outdated beliefs, or in actual performance gaps? If you can answer 'yes' to most of these questions, it's time to release the doubt and step fully into your influence. Your presence isn't about being perfect—it's about being present, prepared, and aligned with your values. If you answered 'no' to any, that's not a failure. It's a roadmap. These are the areas where you can grow—through mentorship, coaching, skill-building, or new experiences. Executive presence isn't reserved for the few—it's developed over time through self-awareness, intentional practice, and a deep commitment to personal leadership. And if you're doing the work but are still being overlooked or undervalued, it may be time to find an organization that recognizes your contributions and invests in your future. In the end, executive presence is not just how others see you. It's how you see yourself—and how powerfully and self-assuredly you choose to show up, speak up, and lead.
