You know a television has made it when it is more often referred to its model name than its brand name. And with Samsung’s The Frame TV, you get the best on the market. This QLED 4K TV comes in the Goldilocks 65-inch size that can fit well in virtually any setting or room.

An Art Deco watch is the refined way to showcase a fashionable style, whispering quiet, timeless luxury. One of my personal favorite watch brands, Bulova, has an ongoing collection that highlights the life and work of Frank Sinatra. Of its impressive array of models, this “My Way” stands out from the rest.

It perfectly balances gold and silver (very holiday-esque) by using stainless steel for the case with pops of gold-colored numbers and hands, all against a black dial. The pebbled black leather band ties it together. I wear it all the time, it’s that versatile, and I have even gotten compliments from a Cartier Tank owner.

Our top adjustable dumbbells that work for beginners and are trusted by pros, this set is a joy to workout with. Our Fitness Director Eb Samuel, C.S.C.S. praises their adjustability and durability: “I’ve never encountered a more adjustable dumbbell. I love them for farmer’s walks, heavy DB lunges, and thrusters, and rely on them anytime I do a metcon-style workout at home.” He’s dropped these from three or four feet up after tough sets of presses, “and they hold up just fine.” (Although it’s not advisable to make a habit of dropping any adjustable dumbbells regularly).

These dumbbells offer a comfortable grip and knurled handles that enhance grip during workouts. However, they do not provide the same weight distribution as traditional bells, as Samuel points out, “If you’re looking to use a set of adjustable movements for plenty of accessory movements, go with something more dumbbell-shaped.” All things considered, they’re a sure-fire winner.

It’s also odor-resistant, insanely soft, and has a great stretch to it.
