Great news, HGTV fans! Jasmine Roth is back on set filming her popular series Help! I Wrecked My House, and she went live on Instagram to share an update. In case you missed it, Jasmine has experienced several major life updates since season 4. She sold her house in California, relocated her family and her business to Utah, and welcomed new baby Darla. Amid all of the changes, she's made appearances on Hometown Takeover and Rock the Block, but her own HGTV series has been understandably on hold. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jasmine Roth HGTV (@jasminerothofficial) She took to Instagram to take fans along as she headed to film the first "new house day" of her show. She pulled up to the home with a stain on her shirt, a bag full of breakfast burrito, and a big smile on her face. Jasmine told her followers, "It's new house day, which means it is the big reveal." She explained that her team has grown, "which is great, because it means i get to be home with my family." She toured the scene for new viewers, saying, "It's the day that we get to invite our clients back to their house and show them what's been done. We're here in Utah, you can see the mountains behind us." Jasmine admitted to being a bit nervous about the day, saying, that she was "Really excited, hoping this goes well, a little bit nervous. It's been a while. I had a baby, moved to a new state, got a whole new situation going here. Thank you guys for being here, thanks for your support." HGTV has not yet announced the premiere date of Help! I Wrecked My House, but we'll be on the lookout for any details.

Deep cleaning made easy! Promising review:"Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers' couches, and [there's a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the 'looking like brand new,' but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn't believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed." — edina bajraktarevic 5.

No more bleaching, hardly need to pluck the hair or even shave. I also read one of the reviews saying you can do it twice a week to see the results faster and I went ahead and did that. Like I said, within a month I noticed the difference. Now my mom is even asking to borrow this hair laser removal." — WastefulTv 6. A Bluetooth Oral-B electric toothbrush for $100 off for easy and consistent fresh breath *and* bright smiles!

The pressure sensor ensures I'm brushing correctly, and the different modes really make a difference in my oral care. The sleek design and long-lasting battery are just the icing on the cake. I can truly feel the power and precision with every use, and my teeth have never been cleaner. Highly recommend this powerful toothbrush!" — Yarimar 7. And a portable Waterpik water flosser for 34% off — you'll get four flossing tips to help ensure you get a custom (and thorough) clean that's more effective than regular ol' floss. 8.

It's a rocky start finding your grind amount and grind size ratio for the beans, but once you dial into it, it's unmatched flavor. Controls and functions are intuitive, heat and pressure extract the right flavors from the coffee, the loudest part of the machine is the coffee grinder, but it'll soon have you conditioned to associate the sound with good coffee. It has a drip tray to catch the any backlog, purges, or cleaning cycles that I empty about once a week. The size is appropriate for my counter space. It will save me many many dollars in the long run by preventing Starbucks and Dunkin' runs." — Thomas Hefner 10. An intensive 10-in-1 Dove hair serum mask for 31% off (its lowest price yet!) that only needs one minute to visibly repair damaged hair.

I love this hair mask. It works. The first time I used it, I was sold. It made a noticeable difference in the texture of the ends of my hair. I don't see me needing a trim anytime soon. I don't need to use much. My hair soaks it up every time. I like the scent. This doesn't weigh my hair down. It leaves my hair very soft, shiny, and manageable." — FlyingSnow 11. A pair of noise-cancelling Bose Bluetooth headphones for $100 off designed to produce crisp and flawless sounds so you can sink into the world you're listening to and not the one bustling around you. Its battery lasts up to 24 whole hours. Yes, that's literally an entire day! And they even come with an audio cable with an in-line microphone if you're not feeling the wireless vibe. Promising review:"These headphones are a game-changer!! As a migraine sufferer, the noise-canceling feature of these headphones is almost miraculous, while still fitting comfortably enough that it doesn't create pressure on my head. The ear pads are so light and soft, I hardly feel like I am wearing anything. The battery lasts hours, and they connect easily with Bluetooth. While I have used other headphone brands in the past, these have become my go-to favorites. While earbuds certainly are smaller, these benefits of these full-sized headphones far outweigh the larger size. I have traveled with them as well and the folding feature and included case are excellent for stowing them in my carry-on." — Am 12. A hydrating and color-safe Paul Mitchell shampoo for 50% off (its lowest price to date!) containing awapuhi (a moisturizing ginger plant) that'll work to cleanse and brighten hair. Buh-bye hair-dulling buildup. It's made for all hair types, too. Amazon Promising reviews:"I have fine, thin hair, so shampoos that give body are usually too heavy. This shampoo is FANTASTIC! No more static, lots of body and shine." — susan "I've used this shampoo for decades now, really a terrific product. Keeps my hair, which is on the dryer side, nice and moisturized, clean, lathers well even in the fairly hard water I have." — JB 13.

This lusciously scented formula will help protect hair from heat and reduce drying time. Amazon Promising review:"Who doesn't love this serum? I have been using it for two decades. I have dry, coarse hair that is thick and naturally curly. So imagine that in the summer heat and humidity. This smoothes my hair and prevents frizz. It also protects from the heat of straighteners and the blow dryer. It smells so good, and I get compliments all of the time when someone hugs me and smells my hair." — Gloria Dolan 14. A portable and waterproof JBL Bluetooth speaker for 25% off so your park/pool/beach party can immerse itself in the brilliance of your well-curated playlist. Promising review:"The sound quality is crisp, with deep bass and clear highs — even at higher volumes. Battery life is another win; I get hours of playback on a single charge, which is perfect for long days out or backyard gatherings. The build feels solid and durable, which gives me peace of mind when I'm near the pool or beach. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, and pairing is quick. Overall, it delivers way more than I expected for the price. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a reliable, great-sounding portable speaker." — Jose Graxirena 15. Six pairs of energizing Grace & Stella eye masks for 43% off (the lowest price they ever go for!) if you have no plans to change your late sleep schedule but wanna at least look like you got the proper eight hours. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, these masks are designed to help with dark circles, puffy eyes, and wrinkles. Promising review:"I'm a girls' girl, so I'm gonna let y'all know, I loveeeee this product!! I struggle with under-eye bags and dark circles, but baby, I put a pair in the freezer, and I put them on my eyes while frozen. I leave them on for about 15–20 minutes (sometimes longer), and I have seen a difference within a few days. Mind you, nothing I have ever tried for my eyes has worked. Just buy it. This is one of my favorite purchases ever." — Octavia Bennett 16. A 10-speed Vitamix blender for 21% off that can create any texture. Soup, sorbet, and salsa are all a few pulses away. Its high-performance motor can deal with the toughest ingredients. And did I mention that it's self-cleaning? No? Well, it's self-cleaning. Promising review:"The most powerful blender I've ever had. It can blend barely cut-up carrots, chunks of garlic, and ginger very easily. I only have to use a low to medium blending range. It's powerful and the perfect size for two people. Easy to clean." — Victoria Medford 17. An all-in-one Neakasa pet grooming kit for 50% off (the lowest it goes for!), complete with five grooming tools (brush, rake, trimmer, and two vacuum heads) so you and your home are not completely overwhelmed by shedding season. This has a vacuum function that sucks up all of your pet's shed/trimmed fur, which means less mess for you to deal with! Promising review:"I've had this vacuum for almost two years now, and it still works as good as new. I have two Shiba Inu dogs who shed so much it's ridiculous. All of the attachments have their own obvious uses. The suction is great, and the vacuum isn't loud enough when set to max suction to scare my dogs. They actually love it when I turn it on because they love to get brushed and groomed. Worth every penny to help keep my dogs looking nice and clean." — Kevin Pellot 18. An Alexa-compatible Blueair air purifier for 30% off because it'll help get rid of the pollen, mold, smoke, odors, and dust in your air that make it hard to live a sneeze-free life. This sleek purifier can help freshen your air in about 12 minutes — that's the power of its HEPA filter. Promising review:"My room gets very dusty and I'm slightly allergic to cat hair (my roommate has two cats). This air purifier has made a noticeable difference in the amount of dust in my room and makes the air feel cleaner. I also like that there is an app, and I can control the settings from my phone! It also looks nice in my room and is not too big." — jennifer s. 19. A cordless robotic pool cleaner for 17% off (its best price!) because summer is about having fun splish-splashing around, not wasting time manually removing debris, leaves, and dead bugs (eww). This only works on flat above-ground pools. Promising reviews:"Very easy to use. Runs well. Does a great job cleaning up leaves, etc. in my above-ground pool, saving me a lot time, so I spend more time enjoying my pool versus cleaning it." — Robin O. "This has been amazing for my pool routine! I have an 18-foot, round above-ground pool and have dropped this in three times so far, and the bottom junk and leaves are gone!" — Risa 20. A stainless steel automatic cat water fountain for 27% off (the lowest price it goes for) that'll entice your purring friends to stay hydrated by keeping the water in constant circulation. It even has a water level window so you can see when it needs a refill. Now if we could only get *you* to drink more water... You'll also get four filters! "My cat loves this fountain. She's drinking more water now. I like that it is stainless steel and should be easy to clean and maintain." — janet Price: $29.25 (originally $39.99) 21. An electric standing desk for up to 35% off if you wanna be able to stretch and possibly get your steps in while working from home, but don't wanna do that out in the soon-to-be sweltering heat. Now you can stay in your air-conditioned home with this sleek and adjustable desk. Promising review:"Really loving this desk! It's a large work space, so there is plenty of room for my laptop and two monitors. I like the ability to put the desk hooks wherever I please. The assembly wasn't too difficult. The adjustable heights are easy to set or readjust as I use it more and determine what sitting/standing height is the best for my posture." — Liz Price: $109.98+ (originally $169.99+; available in five sizes and 11 colors) 22. A portable Eufy baby monitor for 20% off (the lowest it ever goes for) that'll allow you to check on Baby with or without Wi-Fi. If you're leaving your little one with the nanny for the first time (congrats, BTW!), you'll probably love that this gadget features night vision, a 330-degree pan, a 60-degree tilt, and 8X zoom, which will allow you to even see the rise and fall of your babe's chest. Amazon Promising review:"Love this baby monitor a lot! The picture is super clear even upon zooming in. The built-in battery makes it easy to move the camera to other parts of the house as needed. The display is also very well built and battery lasts a longs time." — Zach Price: $199.99 (originally $249.99) 23. A retractable, 100ft wall-mounted hose reel for up to 32% off (its lowest price to date!) because your summer garden is gonna need some good lovin' (and by "lovin'," I do mean "watering"). This thing is great because, once you pull it to your desired length, it'll automatically lock in place! And, when you're done with it, just gently pull the hose outward and it'll automatically (and slowly) retract. No more getting caught up in tangles like a Looney Tunes character. Promising review:"This retractable garden hose is durable and incredibly easy to use. No tangles and simple to store — perfect for hassle-free watering!" — Ajay Price: $129 (originally $159.95+; available in two colors) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

After their mom was killed in murder-suicide, 2 dogs find forever home in Mass.
After their owner was killed 'in a tragic domestic violence incident,' workers at a Rhode Island rescue were determined to find two resilient dogs a new home. 'They are truly such resilient and amazing dogs with the kindest eyes & goofiest personalities,' wrote Liv Phelps, a worker for Hotel for Homeless Dogs in Cumberland, Rhode Island. 'Spanky a gentle giant who welcomes you with wet slobbery kisses and big ol hugs. Darla with her ever so soft fur and beautiful face. What's not to love?' Their owner, Loren Marino, 24, of Haverhill, was found dead in a home along with her boyfriend in March 2024, WCVB reported. Authorities said it was a murder-suicide. Marino was born in Lowell and lived in East Providence, Rhode Island, before she moved back to Massachusetts to live in Haverhill in 2022. She worked as a mental healthcare professional at Anodyne Medical Services on assignment for Vinfen Corporation, 'where she was dedicated to her work,' her family wrote in her obituary. The dogs were traumatized after losing their owner, WCVB reported. And one of the dogs didn't easily trust men. The dogs were brought to the shelter in hopes of finding a new family. But a year later, they were still without a home. 'I can only imagine Loren and the worry she would have for these dogs,' Hotel for Homeless Dogs Executive Director Susan Joseph told the news outlet. 'It was really important for me to close this chapter for her, but we had to close it right.' On April 14, that changed. 'We did it! Darla and Spanky have found their forever home,' the rescue wrote on Facebook. 'After spending a week with their new mom and dad they just fell in love. Both Darla and Spanky molded perfectly into their lifestyle.' The Massachusetts couple, Mike Pollock and Karen Roy, said they will care for their two new dogs in Loren's memory. 'I hope she can rest easy because we will love them,' Roy told WCVB. If you are a victim of domestic or dating violence, you are not alone.

Veteran anchor Darla Montgomery retiring after 33 years on air
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After more than three decades of bringing Acadiana the news with warmth, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to storytelling, longtime anchor and reporter Darla Montgomery is retiring. A trusted presence in homes across South Louisiana since 1992, Darla has been more than a journalist—she has been a friend, a neighbor, and a voice for the people of this community. A native of Opelousas, Darla's career has been defined by a deep love for Acadiana and a commitment to sharing its stories. Her work has earned her multiple Associated Press awards, including recognition for a powerful half-hour documentary chronicling the life of an Acadiana priest and his mission in Haiti. Spending time in the impoverished country changed Darla's life, and her documentary went on to air both locally and statewide on Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB). She was also featured in an LPB documentary on South Louisiana's folk medicine and the tradition of traiteurs, or healers—an important piece of our culture that continues to be shared with audiences today. Darla's career has taken her across the world, from covering local and state elections to traveling with Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco to Canada in an effort to promote tourism. She has interviewed some of the nation's most well-known political figures, including former Vice President Al Gore and political strategist James Carville. She has covered presidential visits, explored the connections between Acadiana and Africa, and reported from places far beyond Louisiana's borders. But no matter how far she traveled or how high-profile the story, Darla's heart always remained in Acadiana. 'The most meaningful stories are the ones right here at home,' she says. 'The people of this community are what have made this job so special.' Darla attended the then, University of Southwestern Louisiana majoring in Mass Communications from 1980 to 1985. She has spent a lifetime dedicated to the art of storytelling. Beyond the newsroom, she finds joy in writing short stories and poetry, cooking Creole cuisine, and most of all, spending time with her family. Darla's presence on the airwaves will be deeply missed, but her impact on this community will last forever. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, integrity, and a true love for the people of Acadiana. A celebration to honor Darla's incredible career will be announced soon. Please join us in thanking her for her years of service, her dedication, and the heart she has shared with us all. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

HGTV star Jasmine Roth shares her 9 must-haves for making a house feel cozy
In the nine years that Jasmine Roth has been on HGTV, she's seen a lot of home renovations gone wrong. The name of her show, Help! I Wrecked My House, says it all: Jasmine flies in to save homeowners from sagging ceilings, leaking pipes and partially demolished walls. Then she redesigns their spaces so they're functional and beautiful. The designer and builder just launched a new lighting collection with Hunter, plus she's filming her show's fifth season. But these days, Jasmine has just one VIC (very important client) on her mind: her own family. Jasmine, her husband Brett, and their young daughters, Hazel and Darla, recently moved from California to Utah, and Jasmine is creating their dream home in Park City. Though she still has a lot of work to do — "I haven't even started Darla's nursery yet, and she's 5 months old!" Jasmine admits — she has stocked the house with fuzzy blankets, luxurious-smelling soaps and other cozy finds. "It's especially important in a place like this, where we get a crazy amount of snow," she says. Read on for her home essentials, and if you're curious how other star designers decorate their own spaces, check out gorgeous go-to goodies from Nate Berkus and Egypt Sherrod.
