Bear from Maryland visits Virginia, officials say
A wandering bear that last month paid a visit to the Maryland suburbs is thought to be the same one that spent hours on Monday in a tree in the Northern Virginia town of Herndon. Bears are sighted in the Washington area from time to time, but still remain enough of a novelty to draw a crowd, at least a small one, as did the visitor to Herndon, a town of about 24,000 in Fairfax County.

Cooling products quick picks Cooling towel: Mission Original Cooling Towel Cooling beauty product: La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Face Mist Cooling neck fan: Gulaki Bladeless Portable Neck Fan Cooling bedding: Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set Window AC unit: LG 8,000-BTU LW8016ER Window Air Conditioner When the temperature starts to climb, the best cooling products help keep you comfortable both indoors and outdoors. From neck fans to cooling blankets, a variety of gadgets and home products can make all the difference in being a sweaty mess or staying cool. We've crafted a list of our best-tested cooling fans, cooling apparel, cooling pillows and beyond for a much more tolerable summer. There are even some cooling beauty products that can help calm your skin after scorching-hot days. A post shared by CNN Underscored (@cnnunderscored) Mission Original Cooling Towel Out of the 10 cooling towels we tested, this one delivered the most immediate relief. Beyond providing an unmatched cooling sensation, it also won points for its portability. Read our review Mission Max Plus Cooling Towel The Mission Max Plus is from the same company as our top pick, so it's no surprise that it shares many of the same features. Although we found the material a little too thick, it beat the Mission Original when it came to overall cooling our review Chill Pal Mesh Cooling Towel The Chill Pal kept cool for around 45 minutes, the longest of all the towels we tried. Even so, it wasn't great at providing instant relief, so ultimately did not nab our top our review Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set These sheets have made several CNN Underscored editors fall head over heels. Made with viscose from bamboo, these sheets are cool to the touch and even moisture-wicking. Coop Sleep Goods The EdenCool+ Adjustable Pillow After searching for the right pillow for years, senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus finally found the perfect match: The EdenCool+ Adjustable Pillow. Whereas most pillows were too lumpy or hot, Kraus said this one "feels like an AC" for her head. Read our review Nest Cooling Mattress Topper This cooling topper is not a mattress itself, but we wanted to highlight a product that one editor thinks can actually make any mattress feel like a cooling mattress. (Plus, mattresses are expensive, you know?) Made with cool-to-the-touch foam that you sink right into, this mattress topper has completely changed the way she sleeps. Weekender Gel Memory Foam Pillow Cooling pillows for hot sleepers come in a variety of materials like shredded foam, gels and cotton. Look for one that holds in coolness and wicks away moisture. This well-priced, high-rated foam pillow is infused with a temperature-regulating gel for a cool night's sleep. Casper Foam Pillow With cooling foam and a three-layer design meant to make it extra huggable (who doesn't want that?), this is one of our favorite pillows to sleep on night after night. Leisure Town Cooling Mattress Pad With more than 35,000 reviews, this highly rated cotton mattress topper is filled with a down alternative to deliver comfort that reviewers love without heat and sweat. Columbia PFG Freezer III Dress Walking outside in the summer can feel like going into a home sauna, but with this ingenious dress, you can feel more at ease. Our associate editor Rachel Dennis tested out this cooling dress, which lives up to its name. If you buy one dress this summer, it should be this our review Free Fly Women's Bamboo Shade Hoodie II UPF clothing can keep you from getting burned and from overheating. You can wear it hiking, fishing, walking — just about anywhere. This hoodie from Free Fly is no exception. Made of bamboo viscose fabric, it'll help keep you cool and comfortable. It also comes in men's sizing. Cherrydew Short-Sleeve Button-Down Pajama Shorts Set If you're a hot sleeper, a pair of cooling pajamas is essential (and not just in the summer). These ones are made with breathable bamboo viscose and are a steal compared to fancier brands. Thigh Society The Cooling Shorts Chafing and overheating are two of summer's biggest issues when it comes to clothing, and this pair of lightweight shorts addresses both of these conundrums. The performance fabric pulls heat and moisture away from the body, and the shorts come in a bunch of colors to coordinate with your outfits. Sun Bum Cool Down Aloe Vera Lotion You spent the day in the sun but, unfortunately, ended up with a burn. That's where after-sun lotions come into play. They feel cooling and calming on the skin, and this dermatologist-recommended option is loaded with hydrating and soothing ingredients. Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea In our roundup of the best cooling beauty products, Dr. Corey L. Hartman of Skin Wellness Dermatology said this spray delivers 'a quick burst of cooling to your face.' He added that you can apply it 'during the day to help cool or spritz the face right before you apply moisturizer in the morning or evening.' La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Face Mist This cooling face mist contains selenium, a potent antioxidant that is free of fragrance and preservatives, making it great for sensitive skin. Updates writer Ellen McAlpine keeps it on hand to cool and calm down her skin post-workout. Sofie Pavitt Face Nice Ice Toner Pods Packed with soothing ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, green tea extract and ashwagandha, this is essentially a popsicle for your face. Fashion and beauty editor Sophie Shaw recommends rubbing it across your face until it has melted. Coola Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 18 This cooling mist doesn't just cool your face with organic aloe, coconut water and hyaluronic acid; it also protects it from the sun with SPF 18. Ole Henriksen Balance Cold Plunge Pore Mask With eucalyptus, green tea, algae and Irish moss extracts, this mask can help soothe inflamed or acne-prone skin. Salicylic and lactic acid also work to loosen dead skin and help to unclog pores. SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mask If you've got dry skin, this one's for you. Hyaluronic acid adds hydration to the skin while the cucumber, thyme and olive oil extracts in this mask soothe skin to help it feel cooler. Esarora Ice Roller If you're not into ice itself, an ice roller is a solid second option. This gel and water roller is a CNN Underscored favorite and also has a number of celebrity our review Milk Makeup Cooling Water This hydrating gel stick, made with caffeine and seawater, can be kept in the fridge for an extra-cooling sensation. Gulaki Bladeless Portable Neck Fan After we tested five neck fans in the Southern California sun, this one came out on top. In addition to having the most powerful fan, it also boasts an impressive five hours of battery life on its highest our review Amacool Neck Fan Of course you want to keep your neck cool, but this best-tested adjustable fan can cool your face and other areas too. It has three speed settings and can be folded up and tossed in your our review Comlife Bladeless Neck Fan Our editorial director wears this neck fan to keep cool while riding the New York City subway. Thanks to its 5W of power, it should make the muggiest months of the year bearable.

Simultaneously high-end and already perfectly worn in, these were delightful from the first our review Parachute Linen Sheet Set Among the most luxe feeling we tested, the Parachute linen sheets have a pleasant weight in hand and a unique texture.

Bedsure Cooling Blanket If you're looking for a cooling blanket to carry around the house with you all the time, this is the one for you. Cool to the touch on one side with a snugglier cotton on the other, it's thin enough that it can roll up really, really small, so it's great for smaller apartments and storage. Tranquility Cooling Weighted Blanket We've tried this weighted blanket for several months now, and we absolutely adore it. Cool on one side and plush on the other, it's available in 12-, 15- and 20-pound versions.

For fans, air conditioners and other cooling devices, most of these products will list the size of the space they're effective at cooling.

This New Circus-themed Florida Hotel Has Access to a Private Beach and Carnival-inspired Cocktails
New boutique hotel Cirque St. Armands Beachside opened its doors in Sarasota on March 25, with Gulf Coast views, a seafood-focused restaurant, and a flurry of whimsical, circus-inspired touches. Located near Lido Beach on Florida's southwest coast, the 135-room hotel is part of the Opal Collection, a group of 28 luxury hotels and resorts. Cirque St. Armands Beachside's art deco and circus influences are a nod to the town's history—John Ringling moved the winter headquarters of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus to Sarasota in the late 1920s. Spaces are splashed with theatrical geometric tiled floors, striped textiles, golden wall sconces, and ostrich feather chandeliers, while floor-to-ceiling windows show off ocean views. 'Cirque St. Armands Beachside's honors Sarasota's circus heritage with a chic, bold art deco-meets-roaring twenties design, reimagining the space with playful, eye-catching details,' the hotel's general manager, Melissa Kaplan, told Travel + Leisure . 'This boutique hotel is truly unlike any other property in Florida, offering elevated hospitality and unparalleled style. The vibrancy extends to Ringside, the signature restaurant, and the dazzling white sand beaches of Lido Beach are just steps away.' Ringside serves dishes like smoked Gulf Coast shrimp and seafood towers against a backdrop of velvet drapery, larger-than-life murals depicting trapeze artists and performers, and a striped arch ceiling that recalls a Big Top tent. Midway, the lobby bar lounge, specializes in creative cocktails (at check-in, guests are served a carnival-themed cocktail or mocktail), while Ringmaster is a poolside bar with ocean views. Speaking of the pool, it is shaped like a series of three connecting circles reminiscent of a three-ring circus and features an elevated sun deck. Also on-theme: billowy, striped private cabanas and an al fresco gelato cart. Guests also have exclusive access to a 300-foot private stretch of sand at nearby sibling hotel Lido Beach Resort. Nightly rates at Cirque St. Armands Beachside start from $309, and you can book your stay at
