Freeze! The Ninja FrostVault is on sale at Amazon right now just in time for summer
The best cooler is the easiest way to make sure your food stays fresh and your drinks stay ice cold when you head out this summer.
If you want the creme de la creme of coolers, you need look no further than the Ninja FrostVault. When I tested it, it actually kept ice frozen for five days. On top of that, after eight days the cans of soda in there were still ice cold.
Right now the Ninja FrostVault cooler is reduced down to $249 for a limited time only. The cooler usually retails for $299, so this 17% saving is a real win.
The Ninja FrostVault cooler is the most impressive cooler I have tried and has become my go-to for hot summer adventures. The 45QT cooler can hold up to 68 cans and keeps them cool for 8 days! The wheels also mean you don't have to carry it, making it easy to maneuver even when full.
There is so much to love about the Ninja Frost Vault cooler. Beyond the fact that it kept my drinks ice cold for eight days, it is so easy to use. I have curated a list of how to get the most out of your cooler, but honestly, the Ninja does all of the hard work for you.
The cooler weights 30.2-pounds and is on wheels, so even when it is full to the brim with your favorite food and drink ready to enjoy a barbeque, it is actually ridiculously easy to maneuver.
I had to enlist a helping hand to carry it down some steps when it was full, but once it was on solid ground I was away. The wheels are made from a durable plastic so you can literally go anywhere and not worry about causing a puncture.
The FrostVault also has a Dry Zone. This is a drawer that pulls out at the bottom of the cooler. I like this feature since you don't have to add any ice to it and therefore don't have to worry about any condensation.
The cold simply transfers from the insulated walls right into the drawer. Even after the eight days of testing I did the drawer was still freezing cold to the touch.
The cooler is available in Slate Grey, Olive, or Cloud White, so you can pick the best cooler to fit your summer vibe. And at a discounted price I would totally recommend grabbing the cooler now so you are ready for summer.
Don't forget to read my full Ninja FrostVault review to find out exactly how I got on with the cooler and get to know all of the specs that make it so great.

15 Things Hilary Swank Loves, Including An Odd Beauty Essential
Shop Like is a column in which Forbes Vetted asks some of the most stylish and notable personalities about their favorite items to buy, gift and receive. Look no further for shopping advice and inspiration. W ith 2-year old twins to raise and five rescue dogs to manage, actress Hilary Swank is all about surrounding herself with efficient and safe products to help simplify her family's routine, coupled with some fun and unique items that keep herself feeling good and her kids entertained. 'I'm spending most of my days watching my twins [daughter Aya and son Ohm] learn about themselves and the world around them,' says Swank. 'It's a joy unlike anything I ever could have imagined.' When she's not engrossed with her kids or working, Swank can be found taking long walks with her dogs, tending to her garden or home improvement projects, and hanging out with her husband, entrepreneur Philip Schneider. 'Life is very full, I am very blessed,' she says. Health and longevity have always been near and dear to her heart, which parlayed perfectly into her joining HealthyBaby, a nontoxic diaper and baby care brand, as chief innovation officer. 'When I'm not on set or developing film projects, my work with HealthyBaby is incredibly inspiring and exciting for me,' she says. 'To be part of a company that is on the forefront of making healthy products for babies and women feeds my soul.' Despite her decades-long success as an Oscar-winning actress, Swank says she lives a pretty normal day-to-day, which she attributes to her 'messy mom chic' style. 'Many times out in public, I'm asked if I'm aware I look like Hilary Swank,' she laughs. 'No one believes I'm me, as I don't think I'm fitting their expectation of how I should be dressed. It's my secret disguise!' Below, Swank shares some of her favorite products to buy, gift and receive, including plenty of longevity equipment, some fashion staples and the products that keep her kids entertained and healthy. Hilary Swank's Favorite Things — A Custom Necklace That She Cherishes Daily 'My favorite jewelry and jeweler, who also makes beautiful custom pieces [is Haverhill]. I have a necklace with both my babies' names hanging together that I got when they were born and wear constantly. Having a timeless, curated piece like this that I can wear forever is so special.' Haverhill 5 Letter Necklace $858 A Set Of Chemical-Free Cookware 'I bought these healthy nonstick pans for my mom so she could cook confidently without forever chemicals that most generic pans are coated with, which seep into our food.' Caraway Cookware Set (12-Piece) $445 The Ultimate Ice Cream Maker 'We love ice cream but are dairy-free, so to satisfy our sweet tooth without a bunch of added refined sugars, dairy and unhealthy additives, we make our own ice cream using just fruit and raw coconut, and it tastes better than the store-bought processed stuff!' Ninja Creami $200 Her Single-Step Mama Makeup Routine 'I don't typically wear makeup, but when I do, I opt for something simple, and it has to be all-natural. This 100% mineral sunscreen with non-nano zinc oxide has the perfect amount of tint to even out my complexion and give me a nice glow. It's my one-step mama makeup routine!' RMS Beauty SunCoverup Super Tint SPF 50 $49 An Incredibly Fun Toy For Lake Life 'Living on a lake, my husband and I love our hydrofoil board. It enables us to surf (and hover!) without needing waves. It's quiet, exercises your balance and, as a bonus, hits your leg and core strength.' Fliteboard From $10,340 The Mack Daddy Of Wellness Equipment 'I chose to have children later in life, which drives my commitment to staying healthy, energetic and fully present as they grow. I support that through daily meditation, aerobic and resistance training, whole-food nutrition and evidence-based technologies that promote long-term vitality. My hyperbaric chamber, backed by clinical research for its role in cellular repair, inflammation reduction and longevity, was one of the most impactful investments I could make—not just for myself, but for my family.' OxyHelp Hyperbaric Chamber Price Upon Request Her Uncommon Favorite Beauty Product 'This is going to sound strange, but it's my gym. Working out releases a ton of hormones that boost your emotions and your skin's appearance. It even increases collagen production, which repairs skin cells, firming up your skin. Last I checked, there's no single beauty product out there that can do all this. If I had to choose one piece of equipment, it'd be either the AmStaff Fitness SD-5000 All-In-One Smith Machine or the AmStaff Leg Press Hack Squat.' AmStaff Fitness SD-5000 All-In-One Smith Machine $6,430 Her Travel (And Life) Essential 'These earplugs are a lifesaver! I discovered them at a little corner store when I was living in Paris, and thankfully you can buy them online now. They're also great for travel.' Quies Wax Earplugs $12 What She's Currently Reading ' Raising Securely Attached Kids by Eli Harwood provides such an important message about resilience, empathy and staying connected while raising our children.' Raising Securely Attached Kids by Eli Harwood $15 An Emergency Must-Have 'We discovered these zero-waste batteries and keep them on hand for all our office supplies. Batteries are so wasteful and don't decompose, so this company has created something truly special with their built-in recycling program.' Better Battery Co. Variety Pack $30 A Unique Way To Keep The Twins Entertained 'Our kids love music, and I thought it would be fun to learn a new instrument alongside them, so I have taken up the banjo, which I've always wanted to learn, and it's been such a great reminder of how important it is to never stop learning new things—and that it's never too late to try.'

These are the only prenatal vitamins I trust, and they have different formulas based on your needs for every stage of your pregnancy journey.' HealthyBaby Our Prenatal: Preconception & 1st Trimester $85 The Laundry Staple She Swears By 'One thing about me is that I take a lot of pride in my laundry.

HealthyBaby Laundry System $35 Item She Can't Live Without As A Mother To Twins 'Obviously this changes a lot at different ages, but right now it's the Buckle Me Baby coats: This one-mama-owned small business took a common struggle and safety concern and solved it in style. Her Buckle Me Baby car seat coats have a front panel, which allows a harness to fit securely around a child's chest and shoulders rather than on top of a bulky winter coat. Which not only is more comfortable for the children but also solves a huge safety concern during a collision—the impact typically flattens the puffiness of jackets, which creates space, and therefore kids are prone to flying out of their coat/car seat.'

Couple explains how they live full time on 40ft boat with two kids and dog
A couple who live on a 40ft catamaran with two kids and a dog say being able to just sail to the Bahamas is incredible – but people always ask how they fit everything in. Dale Arbogast, 38, and fiancé, Kristina, 28, have embraced boat life since May 2024 and after an upgrade live full time on a $450k catamaran based at a Florida marina, with her kids and their dog Atlas. And while it has given them the kind of freedom most of us can only dream of, it's not all plain sailing. 7 Dale Arbogast and fiancé Kristina are enjoying living on a boat with two kids and a dog. Dale & Kristina / SWNS Kristina says the most asked question the face is 'what does it look inside your boat?' – and she revealed that while they have space for luxuries – like a teeny bar and even a Nespresso machine, they do have to make sacrifices. 'Every single' bit of storage has to be well thought out – and she says the 'worst bit' is their tiny fridge which stores next to nothing. Incredibly they had very little experience of sailing before they moved onto their boat. 7 'Living on a boat, every single storage space is definitely used,' Kristina says. Dale & Kristina / SWNS Kristina, a photographer and marketing manager, from Florida, US, said: 'Living on a boat, every single storage space is definitely used. 'The fridge is the worst part of this boat – it pulls out in drawers and there is just no storage.' She joked: 'I personally feel we aren't missing a lot living on a boat. I mean there are little things like…water, and power hook ups, and limited space and a fridge that has no storage. Other than that – boat life is pretty amazing.' The rest of her boat tour reveals TWO bathrooms, a gas stove and oven – but they use their Ninja 'most of the time' as well as a kids' snack cupboard hidden under a rug, and a bar area, complete with sea shells they picked up after sailing to the Bahamas. Dale had been living alone on a motor yacht when he met Kristina on a flight to Orlando from Atlanta airport in September 2023. The pair began dating and just eight months later, when Kristina's lease ran out at her rental property, the couple and her children from a previous relationship – aged seven and nine – all moved onto the boat together in May 2024. 7 The couple moved onto the boat together in May 2024. Dale & Kristina / SWNS Having now upgraded the family is based at a Florida marina, but travel when they can – so far visiting the Bahamas before they head to the Mediterranean. The Leopard catamaran is complete with three bedrooms, a kitchen, living area and plenty of outdoor spaces at the front and back of the boat. The family enjoy their 'nomadic and minimal life' and can 'plug in' to local power when moored at the marina, but find power using a generator and solar panels while sailing. 7 The couple are set to marry in December 2025 and have plans to sail their boat to Green Turtle Key in the Bahamas for their wedding before three weeks of island hopping for their honeymoon. Dale & Kristina / SWNS The couple are set to marry in December 2025 and have plans to sail their boat – called Arboventure – to Green Turtle Key in the Bahamas for their intimate wedding before setting sail on their honeymoon – three weeks island hopping. Dale, a software engineer and AI company founder, said: 'Right after the wedding we're going to dingy out into the boat and sail off onto our honeymoon.' Kristina, added: 'Neither one of us had a really extensive sailing background at all. 7 Their boat is called Arboventure. Dale & Kristina / SWNS 'We moved on in December and that was our first real sailing experience. 'I think a lot of people are scared of doing something like this. 'Our long-term plan in maybe five years is to make it over to the Mediterranean. 'Our favourite parts about it are the ability to live a nomadic and minimal life.' 7 'Our favourite parts about it are the ability to live a nomadic and minimal life,' Kristina says. Dale & Kristina / SWNS Dale can see the family making their life at sea long-term. He said: 'I feel like we deliberate on this but honestly the thing we keep coming back to is maybe we can do this forever. 'We enjoy boat life and don't see ourselves moving off of it.' Kristina's children are able to attend school as the boat is moored in the marina for half of the year. For the remaining six months, the family take the Arboventure out sailing, going on trips to the Bahamas or different cities for 'four or five days at a time'. Kristina said: 'The dream is to home school them but it's a hard thing to make that happen. 'It's definitely an adventure for them. 'When we first started talking about it they were a little bit nervous. 'They were saying 'what do you mean I have to give up my own room and our trampoline?'. 'Now they really love it. 'They are just kind of learning how to sail, they can pull down the sails and they know how to read maps.' The family are able to buy groceries easily when moored in the marina and stock up for long trips away. The family's fifth member, a cockerpoo, dog Atlas, enjoys life a sea too. 7 The family's cockerpoo dog, Atlas, is enjoying boat life as well. Dale & Kristina / SWNS Dale said: 'It's so funny, he has a life jacket. 'We call him our little sea dog. Despite their idyllic life, there are some negatives to boating. 'You have to be really up for things to go wrong,' Kristina said. 'There's always something breaking and you have to navigate that. 'We have limited storage space. 'We can't just take the longest shower in the world – due to limited water – we have to be really intentional about our resources.'
