11 Fresh Ways To Wear White Nails This Summer
Summer is finally here and with it comes an inevitable surge of nail inspiration flooding our feeds. From pretty princess nails to playful beach manicures, there's an abundance of fresh trends emerging already, but there's always one shade that reappears every summer without fail: white. Timeless, clean and effortlessly cool, white nails are synonymous with summer and always look impeccable. This season, though, there's a twist: White nails are enjoying a soft-focus upgrade.
Say goodbye to the stark, bright whites of the past; this summer's take is more about milky, sheer and chiffon-inspired whites. Think creamy undertones, hints of pink and nude and cloudy textures. The result is modern, elevated and made for sunshine season.

Yukon Public Libraries introduces summer reading passport
June 13 is the last day of school for most students across the territory. As kids spill out the doors of schools and into the sunshine, the Yukon Public Libraries is introducing an initiative to make sure they don't leave their books behind. For the first time, Yukon Public Libraries is launching the Summer Reading Passport Program across all 15 libraries in the territory: the English-language passports are available at the Whitehorse library, and will be arriving at community libraries in the coming days. There will also be French language passports available. The passport looks akin to the Canadian passport, dimension-wise, said Drew Whittaker, the public programs librarian with Yukon Libraries. Inside, artwork done by local artist Dan Bushnell adorns the stamp pages, inspired by Yukon nature and wildlife, Whittaker said. Interested children will be given passports and be encouraged to come up with a summer reading goal in consultation with their families, he said. 'Maybe it's about numbers of books, but it doesn't have to go numbers of books,' Whittaker said. 'Maybe it's about the type of books that kids want to read, and it's also there's a chance for kids to kind of reflect on reading something new…' The librarian will sign off on a child's reading goal, and stamp the reader's passport as they move towards their goal, he said. 'They take their passport with them. They check out books. They read, read, read all summer long, books from the library, books from home, books from those small community library boxes. They read comic books. They just read as much as they can. They keep track of it, loosely. Keep track, and then they get their passport stamped at any Yukon Public Library location,' he said. Aside the gift of reading, children will also receive a medal at summer's end to reward them for their reading, Whittaker said. All 15 libraries will hold a community event to honour those that have achieved their reading goals, he said. Reading is a radical and revolutionary thing, Whittaker said. It preserves and shares information with others across space and time, he added. 'The value of reading to children is about interacting with their world, is about deeper, enriching experiences with their world. It's about being able to share, communicate their ideas. It's about opening their lives into human creative processes, of which, writing, discussing, debating, is part of our intellectual human existence,' he said. Reading and writing are also important for a child's future, be it education or employment, he said. A good foundation in literacy is connected to better life outcomes, he said. This is the first year the program is running, although previous years have seen similar programs imported from outside the Yukon, said Whittaker. Whittaker said creating a made-in-Yukon version was discussed for years. 'We like the made-in-Yukon approach. We are a different place. I think we're very keenly aware of how, of the differences up here, and often think like, oh yeah, we can do it. We can do our own and it'll be better,' he said. 'Libraries are institutions that are constantly changing, with changing technology and changing community needs. So you know, we're always keen to, like, look at our programs and see if they need a tweak or a change or an overhaul.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Local ‘Subway Doodles' artist displays works at the Banksy Museum
SOHO, Manhattan (PIX11) — You never know what you'll see on the train. There are definitely some unique creatures. A big blue monster is making a name for itself on the subway and the creator has an exhibit with one of the most famous street artists. Things To Do Around NYC Commuters can draw a lot of inspiration from the ride or a walk around the city. An artist who uses an IPad to create multi-media art in transit is known as 'Subway Doodle.' 'I started drawing on the subway commuting everyday and I challenged myself to draw something during the commute,' he said. The artist says the pieces reflect life as a New Yorker, the things he observed, and the shared experiences. Subway Doodle is up at the Banksy Museum along Canal Street at Broadway. It features work by the famous street artist. A curator saw some potential in the space and invited Subway Doodle. The image took form in 2014 on Instagram. He has are also painted street murals. The larger than life cartoon characters and media display at the museum are his first solo exhibition. Keep your sense of humor. The commute can be a beast. 'Inspiration happens in many ways. Sometimes it's when I take the photo or I browse through them later. It reflects how I'm feeling on the inside. I take about 100 photos for every doodle I do,' he said. The Subway Doodle exhibit is free and on display through Aug. 24 at the Banksy Museum, which is billed as the world's largest collection of replica Banksy art. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show
Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken much of the family spotlight this offseason. His relationship with pop music princess Taylor Swift continues to capture the hearts of the many while the build-up to his farewell tour increases by the day. Kelce will retire from the NFL after this season. He, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs Kingdom hope to pull out one more run to the Super Bowl. When that time ultimately comes for him to move on from the game, don't expect the Kelce family to go away from the public eye. Travis and his brother, Jason, co-host the "New Heights" podcast which has been quite successful. Even the family's matriarch Donna Kelce has found her way into the spotlight. In fact, she had a major announcement this week that will be sure to provide more Kelce content. Both Donna and Jason will participate in season four of the reality TV series "The Traitors." She made her announcement official with a post on Instagram captioned, "Sundays were just the beginning. I raised the two playmakers, but now it's mamas turn." The show will begin streaming on Peacock and has begun filming in Scotland. Donna and Jason will be joined by a number of reality TV stars from other programs along with a group of celebrities including Michael Rapoport and Tara Lipinksi. "The Traitors" splits contestants up into two categories of "Faithfuls" and "Traitors." The cast must decipher which among them are the "Traitors," picking a player each night to "murder." While Donna and Jason embark on this exciting new venture, Travis remains at home preparing for his final season. The next step on that journey comes next week when the Chiefs get started with their mandatory minicamp on June 17. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
