Amu Nutrition began with a vision to merge ancient Mongolian dietary traditions with contemporary nutritional science. Through their “Food as Medicine” approach, Khulan and Daria have transformed the lives of over 20,000 customers at their four nutrition centers in Mongolia. Their innovative approach has rekindled interest in ancient Mongolian diets and has garnered trust and admiration among Mongolians and beyond.

Some of their popular teas include:

•       Himalayan Buckwheat Tea: Known for its rich nutty flavor and health benefits, including high antioxidant content and digestive support.

Budget-friendly weekend getaways: travel smarter in 2025

Our gorgeous friend Sam Walker (pictured above) from across the pond sent us this quick note about pne of her clients and we cannot wait for Sam to invite us on these jaunts with her soon so we can spend some QT with her, says our Publisher Lak Vohra!

Budget-friendly weekend getaways: travel smarter in 2025

A weekend getaway doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. With the right approach, you can enjoy a refreshing escape without overspending. From finding the best travel deals to making the most of loyalty programs, there are plenty of ways to stretch your budget while still experiencing a fantastic trip. The Consumer Experts at www.Coupons.com have compiled their top tips on how you can travel smarter in 2025 without sacrificing quality.

Book last-minute deals for big savings. If you’re flexible with your travel dates and destinations, last-minute deals can help you save significantly. Airlines and hotels often slash prices to fill unsold seats and rooms, making it possible to grab a discounted rate just days before departure. Websites like Coupons.com offer promo codes and travel deals for major airlines and hotel chains, helping you secure the best prices on short notice.

Bundle your travel for deeper discounts. Booking your flight, hotel and car rental together can lead to serious savings. Travel websites often offer exclusive discounts when you bundle services, reducing the overall cost of your trip. Many online travel agencies, including Expedia and Priceline, provide package deals that can help you cut expenses while still enjoying a comfortable stay. Using available coupon codes can add even more savings on top of already discounted rates.

Maximize loyalty rewards and cashback. Frequent travelers can benefit from loyalty programs that offer points, discounts and even free stays. Many airlines, hotel chains and car rental companies provide perks to returning customers. If you use a rewards credit card, you can earn cashback or travel points on your bookings.

Explore low-cost destinations. Some destinations naturally offer better value than others. Cities like Austin, Nashville and Charleston provide a mix of culture, history and entertainment without the high price tag of major tourist hubs like New York or Los Angeles. If you’re looking for a nature-focused retreat, national parks like Great Smoky Mountains or Shenandoah offer stunning landscapes with low-cost accommodation options, including campgrounds and budget-friendly lodges.

Find affordable accommodations. Hotels aren’t the only option when it comes to lodging. Budget-conscious travelers can explore alternatives like vacation rentals, hostels and even house swaps. Many platforms, including Airbnb and Vrbo, offer discounted stays for last-minute bookings or extended weekends. Checking for available promo codes before booking can further reduce costs, making it easier to find a comfortable place to stay within your budget.

Alexander Ketter, Consumer Expert at www.Coupons.com, commented:

“Weekend getaways don’t have to be expensive if you know where to look for savings. By taking advantage of last-minute deals, booking travel bundles, and leveraging loyalty rewards, you can enjoy an affordable trip without compromising on quality. The key is to plan strategically and make the most of available discounts.”

Meghan Markle’s New Netlix Show in Question

Meghan Markle’s sudden rebranding of American Riviera Orchard to As Ever—just days before her Netflix launch—has all the signs of a last-minute scramble rather than a strategic luxury brand pivot.

 

 

Luxury brand expert Michelle-Marie Heinemann, CEO of Old Fashioned Mom, isn’t buying it:

 

 

There are many complexities to rebranding. When executed effectively, it can breathe new life into a brand, however the biggest problem is losing customer trust. Drastic changes in brand identity can confuse loyal consumers and the result is declining sales.”
