$1.1 Billion in Art Sold in Less Than Three Hours

A single evening only brought in $1 billion at auction one other time, Paul Allen’s estate in 2022.

Christie’s May 18 evening sale was headlined by:

Pollock: $181.2M, nearly 3x his previous record
Brancusi: $107.6M, second highest sculpture price ever
Rothko: $98.4M, a new record for the artist

Obvious outliers, but the evening capped a spring auction season that totaled $2.5 billion (roughly 2x last year). This follows a Q1’26 that saw the postwar contemporary art market grow 23.1%.

Masterworks offers investors the opportunity to invest in blue-chip contemporary and post-war art. Since 2017, it has offered over 500 artworks and raised over $1 billion in total investments.

29 exits to-date have delivered net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6% and 17.8% on sold works held over 12 months.

Why This Collagen Works Faster Than the Rest 🧜‍♀️✨

For decades, beauty has focused on quick fixes: what you put on your skin. But the most radiant glow, strongest hair, and healthiest aging begin from within.

Introducing Pique's Carrara Marine Collagen, a true breakthrough in beauty. This first-of-its-kind formula combines Type I marine collagen for visible radiance with rare Type II collagen from wild Hokkaido salmon to support deeper structural resilience. Enhanced with biotin and micronized pearl powder, Carrara helps promote smoother, more luminous skin, stronger hair and nails, and whole-body vitality.

Designed for superior absorption, you'll see results faster than with traditional collagen. Its rich coconut cream base transforms your daily routine into something indulgent. More ritual than supplement, it elevates even your morning coffee or matcha.

This is collagen, completely reimagined. Not just glow but structure. Not just results but longevity. A new foundation for beauty, built from within. 🧜‍♀️✨

The Key to Better aging: More NAD+

Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.

As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.

Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.

A Fall Dog Grooming Guide: Cold Weather, Shedding & Protecting Coats

Fall has officially arrived. The weather is beginning to change in most of the country, and when the weather changes, so does your dog’s coat!

Dogs prepare for cooler weather by shedding their summer coat and growing a thicker, fluffier coat of fur. This helps keep them warm in cold weather. Dogs’ winter coats require different grooming needs than thinner summer fur, however.

The Real Cost of a 1-Day Gutter Upgrade

We studied what professional roofers are saying about gutter guard prices in 2025… and here’s what we found out.

Finding the best price comes down to just two simple things:

Cut out the middleman and get a solution that installs over your existing gutters in a day or less.

If done right, you can afford the best gutter guards along with increased property value and even a 100% no-clog guarantee.

You can learn all the basics and how to ‘skip’ the middleman with (fair) local pricing on this new website.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Can Dogs Eat Bugs? Safe vs. Dangerous Insects Explained

Dogs are naturally curious creatures! They keep themselves occupied with sniffing, licking, and sometimes gobbling up anything that moves, including alive and dead animals, and bugs.

While this behavior is usually harmless, not all insects are safe for your furry friend. Some bugs are fine to munch on occasionally, while others can cause anything from mild stomach upset to serious illness.

Don’t let a surprise vet bill torpedo your budget

Routine vet checkups are rising, and some surgeries can cost as much as a holiday in Europe. Fortunately, pet insurance can help offset these unexpected costs. With some policies starting at $10 and reimbursing up to 90%, you can keep your pet healthy without sacrificing your savings.

The Rise of Virtual Dog Playdates: A New Era of Socialization

With the rising demand for digital connection over the last 10 years, it’s no surprise that people are looking for additional ways to share their interests with their online friends. But, did you know that our dogs are starting to participate in virtual experiences too?

One emerging trend in the pet community is virtual playdates—interactive, online meetups designed to let pets and their owners connect with others in real-time through video calls, livestreams, and app-based platforms. What started as a creative solution during the pandemic has grown into a popular and enriching practice for dogs and people alike.
