Promising review: "Roomy, convenient, perfect size. Slides on to my luggage handle easily for easy travel. Nice style, I have the black with gold zippers and my daughter has the all black. It is comfortable should we choose to carry on our backs instead of sliding on our luggage. Worth the purchase, and I especially love all the different sections." —Victoria W. Price: $69 (originally $138, available in 17 colors)
An Evry luggage starter bundle for 55% off that comes with a hard sided carry-on, large check-in bag, five-piece packing cube set, and a luggage tag. Perfect for the traveller who's finally investing in a high-quality luggage — eeee I'm excited for you! Send me a postcard.
Promising review: "OBSESSED! This starter bundle was the best Mother's Day gift ever! I had my eye on it forever and I'm so thankful my husband purchased it for me. AMAZING surprise! The beauty of these bags is in all the details. We've owned a number of similar pieces of luggage, but I hated how both sides didn't zip up. Both the carry-on and the check-in bag have full zip sides to keep everything in place. Now, all that's left to do is take a trip! ✈️ Thanks for making my Mother's Day special Calpak!" —HeidiPrice: $245 (originally $545, available in two colors)
A Luka puffer expandable laptop tote for up to 50% off to ensure you can always fit a liiiittle bit more when you need it most. Just unzip the bottom zipper and unleash an extra three and a half inches of space.
Promising review: "Love this bag! Comfortable to carry, great design, and way bigger and more spacious than it seems in the photos. Perfect for travel. The expandable piece transforms it into a weekender bag." —Belen A.Price: $57.50+ (originally $115, available in 16 colors)
A five-piece packing cube set for up to 30% off so you can contain the tornado that usually is your packing job on your next vacation. Fitting everything into a carry-on efficiently just got so much easier. Not to mention they come in 14 adorable colors and patterns.
Promising review: "These have singlehandedly stopped me from overpacking. I can fit so much more in my bag using these beauties, but I find that I don't need to because having different compartments makes me more mindful about what I'm packing instead of just throwing everything I think I might need in my bag. I find these work really well with all of my suitcase, and I love using the big zipper pouch that comes with it to put my Kindle and iPad mini in so I can easily toss my electronics into their own bin at security. Highly recommend this set, they're beautiful quality!" —MarleePrice: $47.60+ (originally $68, available in 14 colors)
A Trnk hat box for 50% off if you're sick and tired of packing your favorite hats on trips only to discover they're squished into oblivion upon your arrival. Crisis avoided *and* it just has such a cool vintage look you're sure to draw in a few compliments.
Promising review: "As described, all measurements are accurate, and the quality is lovely. I'm a hat person and always struggle with how to pack my hats in a regular suitcase. This solves that problem, and will allow me to pack so much easier. I can't wait to go on my next trip!" —Paula E.Price: $72.50+ (originally $145+, available in three sizes and three colors)
A diaper bag with a laptop sleeve for up to 50% off so you can carry both your *and* your baby's essentials all in one convenient (and stylish) place. Endless features like interior and exterior pockets, a trolly sleeve, and a water-resistant exterior ensure it's up to travel wherever you and your fam do.
Promising review: "The best diaper bag I could ask for! I originally started with a standard diaper bag and struggled to fit everything I needed. I looked into getting a luxury tote bag but found this and love all the pockets and storage space! Also love that this is great for travel and that I can fit my laptop! I purchased the small organizer as well and it fits perfectly in the backpack. Similarly, love that this works with the stroller straps! I purchased the hazelnut color and am obsessed! Cannot recommend this enough!" —Sofia A.Price: $89+ (originally $178, available in six colors)
An insulated soft-sided cooler for up to 30% off because it's about time you got a cooler for the beach or pool that looks just as cute as you do. At 17-liters, it fits everything you need for a perfect lunch with a pal, and a water-resistant lining makes cleaning easy.
Promising review: "The best cooler to take to the beach or in the car for long trips! It has enough space to hold your lunch, snacks, and beverages and is super easy to wipe out if needed." —AnaPrice: $59.50+ (originally $85, available in five colors)
A water bottle holder for up to 50% off so you can go hands-free on walking trips and hikes where you want to bring your water bottle BFF but usually find it too heavy or inconvenient. It also has a few extra exterior pockets to fit your phone, wallet, and other essentials all in one handy place.

A clear cosmetics case for up to 30% off that helps you see exactly what you've packed and is super easy to clean just in case of any spillage.

This toiletry bag has been with me on every single trip since then and still looks brand new like I just bought it. Three years of heavy use and still has so much life left! Literally the best quality! Thank you, Calpak!" —ChandlerPrice: $52.50+ (originally $75+, available in three sizes and 11 colors)
A Fit gym bag for up to 30% off so at long last you can store your gym shoes away from your clothes and other belongings. Adjustable yoga mat straps, an anti-microbial lining, and a drawstring water bottle pocket only sweeten the deal.
Promising review: "I have went through some gym bags I do Martial Arts and this is by far the best bag. It fits all my uniforms and a jacket plus my shoes and my water bottle which is 36 ounces Stanley. And it's so much smaller than my Adidas bag, and if fits perfectly in the little tiny space in my trunk." —Nina G.Price: $98+ (originally $140, available in four colors)
A metallic Ambeur three-piece luggage set for 30% off that are simply *chef's kiss* gorgeous. The set comes with a carry-on, medium suitcase, and large check-in bag, all of which feature a polycarbonate shell to protect everything, four spinner wheels, a two-inch expandable feature, and TSA-approved locks.
Promising review: "One year after purchasing this set, and I'm still thrilled with it! I've used the carry-on size for everything from work trips to weddings and it is holding up great. I love how much I can fit in it and it remains light! I've used the medium size for a couple of longer trips as well and I love how easy it is to maneuver both pieces around the airport and even on public transportation. I haven't used the biggest size yet because I'm not sure how to pack it and remain underweight for flights. But quite honestly I haven't needed it. Even on a 12 day trip to Japan I was able to pack plenty of clothes, shoes and souvenirs in the carry on and medium size." —Rosie R.Price: $495 (originally $715, available in two colors)
A croc travel wallet for 60% off with specific places for your passport, travel documents, and cards that you can use with or without a crossbody strap depending on if you're going essentials-only or packing a little heavier for the day. Versatility, people!
Promising review: "I was gifted the Croc Wallet, and it has become an essential for me when I travel. I was already a lover of Calpak products, and this is another product I highly recommend. The versatile design of this wallet/bag makes it really easy to travel with. When I board my flight (it's my third item) and so easy to slip into my backpack to condense down to two items. If you're looking for a stylish travel bag that is also really functional this is it. I've searched the internet, this is the best!" — ChandlerPrice: $34 (originally $85)
A Haven laptop tote bag for up to 40% off that perfectly mixes style and efficiency. The exterior says "effortlessly chic and profesh" while the removable interior has all the pockets your organizer heart loves to see. Ahhh it just feels good to have the perfect place for your favorite pen.
Promising review: "I've used this bag four four business trips so far and it's working very well. I really appreciate having the zippered inner case, and a lot of different pockets. It's well designed for someone who likes to be prepared on the road." —Elisa L.Price: $108+ (originally $180, available in six colors)
A Hue front pocket carry-on suitcase for up to 40% off because the downside of most hard-sided bags is the inability to get a laptop out if you need to. This padded, dedicated zippered compartment changes that for the better, so say hello to your new fave bag for work trips.
Promising review: "This bag is my most reliable travel companion. She's been everywhere with me ever since I bought her. I love her and she always fits everything I need!! If you're on the fence, BUY IT!" —Melissa"Perfect suitcase. It has plenty of room and internal zippers/compartments. The four wheels make pulling or pushing said luggage effortless. I recommend Calpak suitcases to all of my friends and family. Must have." —Kathryn W.Price: $159+ (originally $265, available in nine colors)
A convertible stroller caddy crossbody for up to 40% off you can attache right to your baby's stroller handles so you have everything they need for a day out right at your fingertips.
Promising review: "I love this bag. I use this as my everyday diaper bag to grab a coffee or go to the grocery store. The standard size diaper bags are so large. I wanted something that I could put the essentials and my wallet in to be gone for two to six hours and this fits the bill. I can fit two bottles, my wallet, a change of clothes, four diapers, and all the diapering essentials (small bag of wipes, changing mat, diaper cream). I am so glad that I got this because I have only used my standard sized diaper bag for travel at this point. I will say its expensive but if you are going to receive it as a gift or put on your registry, why not!" —Alex M.Price: $58.80 (originally $98, available in six colors)
And finally, one of my favorite bags of all time, the Luka duffel for 15% off. I've been using this bag as my ultimate weekender for three years and couldn't recommend it more. The padded laptop sleeve, separate show compartment, and mighty interior pockets genuinely make travel such a pleasure and so much more organized than before. Best of all, it's the perfect size to count as an under-seat "personal item" on most planes. Game changer!
Promising reviews: "What a duffel bag I took my Luka duffel out for a weekend, and it was outstanding. It held all my needs, and room for more. Love the many compartments inside and out. The separate area for my shoes at the bottom was great. I always had to put my shoes in another bag to prevent soiling my personal items. Love the Luka duffel bag. Can't wait to slide it on my medium Calpak luggage." —Beverly M."Perfect size to put under airplane seat. Spacious for everything I need and I love the style. Easy to slip onto my carry on so I don't have to hold it while rolling my carry on." —Jayden B.Price: $108.80 (originally $128, available in seven colors)
So what are you waiting for? Head over to Calpak and shop their Memorial Day Sale to score up to 60% off select bags and 15% off site-wide! My Calpak bags are some of my favorite things I own. Can't wait for you to join the club!

Reclusive Country Star, 54, Gushes About Faith Hill: 'Most Kind and Most Generous'
has been a darling of country music since the early 1990s. She appears to have a picture-perfect life with husband and fellow major country star Tim McGraw and their three daughters, Gracie, 28, Maggie, 26, and Audrey, 23. But what might be nice for fans to know is that Hill is just as kind as she appears. On a Mother's Day post about Hill from youngest daughter Audrey, fellow country star Chely Wright, 54, made her true feelings known about Hill — and had nothing but wonderful things to say. "@audreymcgraw, your mom has always been the nicest, sweetest, most kind and most generous person around. This video took me way back in time.❤️," wrote Wright on the undated video of Hill from approximately 1994. Wright was a contemporary of Hill's in the 1990s, charting the hits "Shut Up and Drive," "Just Another Heartache," "It Was," "Single White Female" and "Jezebel," among others. But she was a closeted lesbian and was terrified that if she came out, she would be ostracized in country music. So she had romantic relationships with such country stars as Vince Gill and Brad Paisley, both prior to their current marriages to Amy Grant and Kimberly Williams, respectively. In Wright's memoir, she writes about how in 2005, her friend and fellow country artist John Rich, told her that it wouldn't be OK to come out of the closet because "people don't approve of that deviant behavior" because "it's a sin." Wright eventually came out of the closet publicly in 2010 after she left Nashville for New York City. After she came out, she received a plethora of support from female country stars, including Hill, Mary Chapin Carpenter, LeAnn Rimes, , the band SheDaisy and the late Naomi Judd. Carpenter, Rimes and the sisters of SheDaisy supported her publicly; she told the Huffington Post that Hill, Yearwood and Judd all reached out privately after she came out. She said no male country stars made any moves of support. Either way, Wright left music altogether during the pandemic and is now happily working as the senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and new market growth at the global workplace experience and facilities management company ISS. 'I know firsthand what it feels like to be afraid that you don't fit in at work,' Wright told Us Weekly in a 2025 interview, adding, "I've always enjoyed figuring things out and finding a way to get a win, whether it be for my paper route customers [as a kid] or my country music fans, or the people I've been able to work with in design build and now facilities management. There's a win for everyone. And good business is making sure that your client is glad they spent their money with you. They do it again, and they'd tell their friends. That's it. That's what country music has in common with facilities management."

Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco announces sudden closure
Osito, the Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District known for its exclusive live-fire menu, will serve its final meal this Sunday. Chef Seth Stowaway, who opened the restaurant at 2875 18th St. in 2021 after several pandemic-related delays, confirmed Tuesday that the Mother's Day brunch will mark the end of the restaurant's run. 'We are proud of the restaurant that we created and grew from the ground up in 2021,' Stowaway said in a statement. 'Less than a year after opening, Osito won our first Michelin star and since day one, we've been proud of the food and service that we were able to provide our guests. Unfortunately, the economy in San Francisco does not always make it sustainable for restaurants and for that reason, we must close our doors.' Osito, which earned acclaim for its daily-changing $295 tasting menu cooked entirely over wood fire, was an innovative dining destination. The 3,000-square-foot space featured a communal table where guests could observe the cooking process. While Osito has undergone several transformations since its opening, including the addition of an à la carte menu and a new private dining room, Stowaway cited San Francisco's challenging economic climate as the primary reason for the restaurant's closure. Despite the decision, Stowaway expressed optimism about future ventures. 'I am full of joy that we are closing our doors at a time where we are busy and serving things we are super proud of,' he said. 'I'm sure you'll hear more from us in the future.'

The Family Behind Calpak: How Second-Generation Innovators Are Elevating This AAPI-Owned Travel Brand
Lifestyle and travel accessory leader, CALPAK, is expanding its Baby Collection this April with two new styles. In the heart of Los Angeles in 1989, Edward and Judy Kwon launched Calpak that would eventually shape the way travelers packed. Originally called California Pack, it started as a limited collection of handbags and wallets. Over the early years, the brand gradually grew its product line, reaching new markets through major retail partnerships. A key milestone came in 2005, when Calpak launched its first hard-shell luggage collection, designed to meet the growing demand for durable, lightweight suitcases. In the 1990s, Judy and Edward Kwon, immigrants from South Korea, began to expand their 'California Pak' line with soft-side luggage and smart duffel bags. What began as a small family venture would soon evolve into Calpak, a global travel brand focused on creating high-quality, stylish, and accessible travel bags. Calpak's story is not just one of product innovation—it's also a narrative of family legacy. In 2013, Edward and Judy's children, Jennifer and Roy Kwon, decided to step back into the family business and breathe new life into the brand. Jennifer Kwon, now President of Calpak, recalls: 'In 2013, I joined the family business and focused on creating a brand that embraced a fresh, modern vision, focused on design-driven products and an online audience.' By 2013 the company rebranded to Calpak, with a new logo and look designed to focus on a new generation of avid travelers. That year their children Jennifer and Roy joined the company. Before the rebrand, Calpak had already made significant strides in the luggage industry, especially after the successful launch of its first hard-shell luggage collection in 2005. But as the travel landscape shifted—driven by social media and lifestyle-centric trends—it became clear that a transformation was necessary. 'At the time, most luggage and travel options catered to business travelers, with little available for personal or leisure trips,' Kwon explains. 'Calpak's rebrand in 2013 focused on creating products that were more expressive, design-forward, and tailored to the modern traveler—while still remaining functional, long lasting, and accessible.' CALPAK's baby bag collection launched last February 2024, garnering a 7,000+ person waitlist. This design and digitally-driven approach marked a turning point for Calpak. Since then, the company has diversified its product offerings far beyond traditional luggage. With a clear focus on innovation, Calpak now offers backpacks, totes, accessories, and most recently, baby bags—each designed with the needs of real travelers and families in mind. 'As a primarily DTC brand, we're hyper-focused on customer feedback and creating products our customers love and can use for years of travel and memories,' Kwon says. But CALPAK's evolution didn't stop at individual travelers. In February 2024, the company debuted its Baby Collection, crafted specifically for the modern parent. With many parents on the CALPAK team themselves, the aim was to 'get the baby category right,' as Kwon puts it. 'We were on a mission to create stylish, yet versatile staples to improve everyday life and commuting for all families.' Developed with insight from real Calpak parents, these new styles balance practicality with the company's signature and sleek design. Both are crafted from recycled, water-resistant materials and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified for safety. That mission began with the Diaper Backpack, complete with a padded laptop sleeve, eco-friendly materials, and parent-approved organization. In April 2025, the line expanded again with the Weekender Duffel—perfect as a hospital or overnight bag—and the Crossbody Diaper Bag for minimalist parents who value function and flair. CALPAK is preparing for a new product category that will launch in June, designed for their 'smallest customers,' teasing a blend of CALPAK's signature design details with playful touches. While the full details are still under wraps, it's another step in the brand's continuous expansion into lifestyle-driven collections that span all life stages. Among Calpak's best-selling collections in 2025 are the Terra and Luka lines. Each reflects the brand's commitment to function, design, and sustainability. The Terra Collection, made from recycled, eco-friendly materials, is water-resistant and ideal for everything from rugged adventures to airport runs. Then there's the Luka Collection, a fan favorite with a devoted following—so much so that it amassed an 85,000-person waitlist. Calpak continues to expand the brand's assortment of bags. Known for its lightweight durability, nine smart pockets, dedicated shoe compartment, and under-seat airplane fit, it's a staple for both daily use and global travel. Originally launched in 2019, the Luka Duffel was created in a standard, large, and newly launched mini size as of April 30, 2025, an example of Calpak's iterative design process. From Edward and Judy's small start in 1989 to their children Jennifer and Roy's revitalization of the brand in 2013 and to the present-day, Calpak remains true to its Los Angeles roots, family values, and a dedication to designing for smart travel.
