Popular appliance brand Dash makes a variety of kitchen gadgets, all of them aesthetically pleasing and shockingly affordable for the most part. Perusing its website will have you ooh-ing and aww-ing over a plethora of mini makers, air fryers, popcorn poppers, and most tempting to me, a shaved ice maker.

WAILUKU, Hawaii Some local shops and restaurants in a small town on Maui’s north shore say they have experienced a boost in tourism since the state launched a pre-travel coronavirus testing program in October.
Owners of stores in Paia, known for its small shops and its proximity to big wave surf spots, said the policy change has helped business in recent weeks, the Maui News reported Tuesday.
At San Lorenzo Bikinis Maui, Store Manager Breanna Racoma said business has been “pretty good” since tourists were allowed starting in October to bypass a 14-day quarantine and instead prove they tested negative before they travelled to the island.
