Just in time to toast to Mom, Loews Hotel Miami Beach is putting a spirited spin on the classic afternoon tea. Every Saturday in May from 2-5 p.m., during Tipsy Tea & Treats at Bar Collins, guests can indulge in savory bites such as avocado toast and local burrata with heirloom tomatoes, while nibbling from a beautiful birdcage filled with decadent mini-cakes like a strawberry olive oil cake and blackberry Champagne cake, mini scones and a salted caramel chocolate tart. Sip on tea and flowing cocktails, including rose spritzes and lychee raspberry martinis. (We won't judge if you 'spill the tea' after a few cocktails.)

In Fort Lauderdale, treat Mom to a lovely teatime at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, known for its incredible ocean views and grand mansion-feel with covetable spots like a row of rocking chairs on the beachfront terrace. The resort recently launched Tea by the Sea on the oceanfront veranda the second and fourth Thursday of every month from 4-5:30 p.m. Nosh on tea sandwiches made with cucumber and cream cheese or truffle egg salad, assorted scones, and petite sweets like fruit tarts and lemon-lavender shortbread cookies.

Coffee and Flowers In Naples
Is it the coffee, the freshly backed croissants or the flowers? It's hard to tell which delicious smell hits your nose first when you walk into the Kaleidoscope Garden Club, a collaboration between Wolfmoon and Kaleidoscope Floral in Naples. 'It's the perfect combination. When everyone walks in here they say it smells amazing,' says Wolfmoon barista Thea May. Don't let the obscure location off Commercial Drive fool you — at this hidden gem, you'll uncover a shop housing specialty coffees and croissants by Wolfmoon and a floral shop by Kaleidoscope, with a secret garden dotted with pink fringed umbrellas out back.
Wolfmoon's menu is kept small, with salads, sandwiches and a selection of buttery, flaky croissants filled with everything from chicken salad to prosciutto and melty provolone. Their coffees showcase made-in-house syrups — don't miss the coconut-infused cold brew topped with coconut foam. 'Every cup of coffee, we're putting a lot of love and thought into each of them,' says May. 'Quality takes time.'
It's the perfect place for a day date with Mom, and florists at on-site Kaleidoscope will put together a gorgeous bouquet for her. You can also shop their well-curated store for the perfect Mother's Day gift.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hold hands leaving dinner date at Palm Beach restaurant
Florida is one hell of a drug. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted holding hands while leaving a dinner date at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach on Wednesday night. A video shared on X by a fan showed the couple making their way to a waiting SUV after enjoying their meal at the upscale cafe. The 'Lover' songstress donned a black minidress for the romantic outing with her beau. She styled her hair up into a bun and wore a red lip. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end coordinated with the pop star, sporting a black shirt with black-and-white checkered pants. At one point, Kelce waved at onlookers on the sidewalk, while Swift flashed a smile. Photos of the duo, both 35, inside the restaurant showed them in good spirits. They were seen chatting while looking over the menu, and Kelce was seen laughing enthusiastically. The A-list couple's dinner date comes after the 'Cruel Summer' singer announced last week that she purchased the masters for her first six studio albums. 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words,' Swift gushed in a letter on her website. 'All of the music I've ever made … now belongs… to me.' Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, have slowly been making their way back into the spotlight after retreating following the Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl. The pair resurfaced for a Mother's Day outing with Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, in Philadelphia last month. They also stepped out for a date night at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Fla., on May 23. At the time, Swift and Kelce were spotted cozied up in a booth while sipping on some drinks. They have been spending time in the Sunshine State as the tight end rents a $20 million mansion in Boca Raton. Kelce reportedly snagged the property in April as he gears up for the forthcoming NFL season.

German Shorthaired Pointer Who's 'Sick of Being Outside' Pulls Off Most Epic Break-In
Dogs generally like to be outside and they'll bark and carry on until you let them out. Then as soon as you're all comfy on the couch, they start all over again so you have to get up and let them back in! My Goldendoodle frequently leaves his toys out in the yard and then stares at them through the backdoor window, whining, until I let him back out to pick them up! Well, let me introduce you to Ranger, a , who was recently exiled to the backyard by his mom. The video doesn't explain why he was in exile. However, based on experience with four-legged friends, my guess would be that he'd been playing the in-and-out game with his humans, and they grew tired of his antics! At some point, Ranger decided that this banishment to the backyard would be short-lived. In a quick show of his athleticism, this spirited pup took matters into his own paws and used the open window over the kitchen sink to gain reentry! Luckily, his mom caught the whole dramatic event on video and, honestly, it's quite impressive! He jumps up quickly and gets a good grip on the window frame with his paws. Then, just when you think he's going to barrel through the window and knock down everything in his path, he doesn't!He teeters on the edge of the windowsill for a moment, trying to figure out his next move before he gently puts one paw down on the counter. After barely knocking anything out of place, he proceeds with his other three paws. He then carefully steps past the items on the countertop and winds up standing on the glass stovetop! Unfortunately, that's when Mom puts a stop to his fun and says, 'RANGER, get down!' He gives her a very nonchalant glance, decides to listen, and hops down off his perch. Then, with his tail wagging he trots past his mom as if to say, 'Ha-Ha Mom, your plan didn't work!' German Shorthaired Pointer Who's 'Sick of Being Outside' Pulls Off Most Epic Break-In first appeared on PetHelpful on May 23, 2025

Insiders drop major clue about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement timeline
Ready for it? Insiders believe they have an idea of when Travis Kelce may propose to Taylor Swift. 'Once he is done playing [football], the conversation will be front and center,' a source told the Daily Mail, referring to the NFL star returning for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The source also said that the pop star's parents, Scott and Andrea, are looking forward to Kelce proposing to their famous daughter. 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say 'yes,' and they can't wait for them to get engaged. Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen,' the insider told the outlet. 'Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.' Kelce — who was spotted on a date night with the singer at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach last Friday — is currently training for the upcoming NFL season in the Sunshine State. According to a previous report from the Daily Mail, Kelce is treating the upcoming season 'as his last.' A source told the outlet that the NFL star's friends and family members are eyeing Super Bowl 2026 as a potential target for Kelce's retirement — and an engagement. Back in May, Swift, 35, was spotted spending time with the Kelce clan for Mother's Day in Philadelphia, fêting potential mother-in-law Donna and potential sister-in-law Kylie at a local restaurant and fueling speculation that the relationship is escalating. Meanwhile, Travis, also 35, has taken up residence in a $20 million Florida retreat while getting in shape for his 13th NFL season — following the Chiefs' dramatic loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl 2025. Through it all, the Daily Mail's source said Taylor has been impressed by how Travis treats their respective families. 'Taylor is impressed with Travis in so many ways, but how he interacts and treats his parents and her parents, whether they are all together or not, is beyond compare,' the insider noted. 'There is a lot that Taylor has been able to see of the person Travis is by the way he treats family, and she just loves it,' they continued. 'When they start a family of their own, she knows that it will be perfect because she has seen it firsthand that he puts in the work to be such a family man.' Plus, both Taylor and Travis feel that 'anytime they can all hang out together' with family, 'the better,' the source divulged. The insider further claimed that both sets of parents are supportive of the famous couple's romance. 'They are enjoying every part of their relationship, and their parents are all in,' the insider added. 'Friends are all about it, too. It is just a perfect life for them all right now, they can't believe their good fortune, but they also aren't taking it for granted.' Taylor and Travis began dating in the summer of 2023. Since then, the singer has been spotted hanging out with Donna while cheering on her man during various football games. Travis, meanwhile, supported Taylor at multiple stops on her Eras Tour, at one point even making a surprise on-stage appearance in London last June.
