Caramel macchiato is a favorite for coffee lovers. Here at Fromgirltogirl.com, it’s a coffee shop drink we give to friends, family, and colleagues when people are undecided on what they want to drink. When I was a girl, my grandparents would say: “My treat.”
It meant there was something good to eat or drink at the shop or store but you could also make at home. I love to do both for my husband and kids.

With employer-provided healthcare plan costs expected to rise by an average of 5.6% in 2023, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2023’s Healthiest & Unhealthiest Cities in America.
City leaders need to stay vigilant for any future health crises to safeguard the wellness of their residents.
When a city doesn’t take care of these many important issues, it can be hard to keep up good health.
To identify the places where health is a priority, WalletHub compared more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities across 43 key metrics. The data set ranges from the cost of a medical visit to fruit and vegetable consumption to the percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated.

Measures local authorities can take to improve health care
Cities need clean air, good public transportation, bike lanes, trails in the city or nearby, access to many green public spaces, and access to good healthy food (farmer markets, etc. – no food deserts). Cities, where retail and living spaces are integrated, are also on average healthier, I think.

What are the most important factors to consider in choosing a city that is good for your health?
I think the first and foremost factor is the accessibility of healthcare resources. The quality of healthcare facilities and the availability of medical professionals are important for maintaining health. Environmental factors like air quality and climate are always a consideration before choosing a city. City infrastructure such as well-maintained sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, gyms, community centers, and sports clubs can also contribute to the decision.

Local authorities could improve our cities and states by making outdoor environments more welcoming to people. First, walkable cities and appropriate infrastructure help individuals engage with their communities and socialize across socio-economic strata. Second, reducing pollution and providing an opportunity for their citizens to engage with their physical environment is a way to improve the well-being of their constituents.

In order to identify the overall healthiest cities in the U.S., WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across four key dimensions: 1) Health Care, 2) Food, 3) Fitness and 4) Green Space. The sample considers only the city proper in each case and excludes cities in the surrounding metro area.
We evaluated the four dimensions using 43 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for a healthy lifestyle. Data for metrics marked with an asterisk (*) were available at the state level only. For metrics marked with two asterisks (**), we calculated the population size using the square root of the population in order to avoid overcompensating for minor differences across cities.

The best U.S cities for a family vacation is Miami, FL. Miami is the number one U.S. Family Vacation spot with a score of 8.36/10 due to the city’s high number of family attractions, restaurants and affordable hotels.
This year is holidaymakers in the U.S. are looking for vacations where they don’t need to worry about expensive overseas flights and travel insurance.
Family vacation experts at FamilyDestinationsGuide have analyzed the most populated cities in the U.S. to find out which one is the best choice for a vacation. The study looked at the average price of a hotel for a family of four, the number of restaurants in the city and the number of family friendly attractions. They used these factors to create a 10-point scale in order to rank the results.
A spokesperson for FamilyDestinationsGuide had this to say about the findings: “Overseas travel is expensive, and since 2019, staycations have seen a 16% increase in searches. The research shows that people in the U.S. are looking more towards home than away for their holidays. “
Places like Miami and Las Vegas are well-known tourist areas, but the findings have highlighted cities like Tulsa, Mesa, and Portland which are rich in culture and attractions, yet receive less tourists, for being vacation hotspots. These cities can provide value for money, with Tulsa’s average hotel price coming in at $531.43.
The data also highlights the coastal cities in the U.S. however, inland cities such as Tucson are beginning to rise in popularity. It will be interesting to see if this will result in more footfall and development.
Methodology
The top 50 cities in the U.S by population were gathered from World Population Review. Using Kayak, the average price for a hotel room for 2 adults and 2 children from a Friday night for 3 nights was calculated.
The hotels were all 3 stars or higher and rated ‘good’ or better.
The maximum hotel price was $2500 including fees and local taxes. Then, TripAdvisor totals for restaurants and attractions (using the ‘good for kids’ toggle) were used to calculate a ‘per 100k’ total.
This was then converted into a ten-point scale in order to give a final score out of 10.
