Less Mess, More Done: 3 VEVOR Bestsellers for Spring

HUSTON, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The first warm weekend of spring has a way of revealing everything that didn't get done last fall—patchy grass, scattered debris, tangled hoses, and garage projects that have been sitting too long. To help Home Creators take on those tasks more easily, VEVOR is spotlighting three customer-favorite solutions for spring—products designed to deliver pro-level performance without the pro-level price tag for everyday homeowners: the VEVOR Retractable Hose Reel, Push Lawn Sweeper, and 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Set. A neater, easier way to handle everyday watering For homeowners who want less mess and more control in the garden, the VEVOR Retractable Hose Reel helps simplify one of spring's most frequent chores. The reel comes pre-installed with a 100 ft x 1/2 inch hose and features a 180-degree swivel bracket, making it easier to reach different areas of the yard without fighting twists, kinks, or awkward angles. VEVOR Retractable Hose Reel Its automatic rewind system and slow return design help keep the hose organized while reducing the risk of snapping back too quickly. With a locking mechanism that holds the hose at any desired length and a 9-pattern nozzle for different watering needs, it offers a practical solution for everything from lawn care and flower beds to car washing and outdoor cleanup. Once watering routines are back in place, the next job is often clearing away the leaves, clippings, and debris winter leaves behind. Faster lawn cleanup with less effort Spring yard work often means dealing with scattered leaves, grass clippings, and dry debris left behind after the season changes. The VEVOR Push Lawn Sweeper is built to make that cleanup faster and easier, helping users cover more ground with less repeated effort. VEVOR Push Lawn Sweeper With a 26-inch sweeping width and four spinning brushes designed to improve pickup power, the lawn sweeper can collect leaves, small twigs, and grass clippings in a single pass across many surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, yards, and gardens. Its adjustable brush height makes it easier to adapt to different terrain, while the large 7 cu. ft. hopper bag allows users to gather more debris before stopping to empty it. That ease of use is also reflected in customer feedback. One user shared that after struggling with large clumps of grass left behind from mowing and having to rake and haul them away manually, they were pleasantly surprised by how much easier cleanup became with the sweeper—and even looked forward to using it again in late fall for leaves. And once the yard is back under control, spring often becomes the time to catch up on repairs that have been waiting in the garage. A reliable go-to for repairs in the garage Spring is also a popular time for tune-ups, repairs, and long-postponed garage projects. For those jobs, the VEVOR 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Set delivers the kind of versatility and durability users want close at hand. VEVOR 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Set The 65-piece set includes both SAE and metric deep and standard sockets, making it useful across a wide range of repair and maintenance tasks. Made from Cr-V industrial-grade alloy steel, the sockets are built for repeated impact use, while the 6-point hex drive design helps reduce wear on fasteners and lower the risk of rounding and stripping. Easy-to-read size markings also make it quicker to identify the right piece, even in low-light conditions, helping users spend less time searching and more time getting the job done. From watering and yard cleanup to garage repairs, spring projects are easier with the right tools on hand. Offering practical performance for everyday household tasks and strong value for homeowners, VEVOR's spring bestsellers help make seasonal to-dos simpler.

Accelerating Agentic Business: A proactive enterprise-grade AI Agent team built for secure global operations NEW YORK, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alibaba International unveiled Accio Work, a plug-and-play enterprise AI agent that equips businesses with an immediate, no-code taskforce. Requiring zero setup, the platform deploys specialized agents to execute complex, long-horizon operations from day one, signaling a significant shift toward "Agentic Business"—a new era where AI moves beyond passive Q&A tools to become active, autonomous executors. First introduced in November 2024 as an AI-powered B2B sourcing engine, Accio has since rapidly evolved into a full-scale AI agent, now serving over 10 million monthly active users globally. The launch of Accio Work marks a new phase in this evolution—moving beyond sourcing to a full-scale enterprise AI agent designed to support the diverse operational needs of SMEs worldwide.

"We want every entrepreneur—regardless of team size—to access an intelligent workforce that operates with the scale of a major corporation. Small businesses will find Accio Work especially useful."

Olight and Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley Spotlight the ArkPro for Spring Break Travel Safety

SHENZHEN, China, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Spring Break travel surges across the United States, more drivers are preparing for longer road trips, remote stops, and unpredictable situations on the road. From nighttime charging to roadside emergencies, travel today requires a new level of readiness—especially after dark. To explore these real-world scenarios, Olight has partnered with Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley to highlight how compact, versatile, and high-performance lighting tools like the ArkPro are becoming essential for modern travel safety. Olight x Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley A New Essential for Modern Travel The ArkPro is designed not just as a flashlight, but as a compact safety and readiness tool for travelers. With four integrated light sources and seven lighting modes, a magnetic hands-free design, and a portable form factor, it supports a wide range of real-world scenarios, from roadside inspections to campsite setup, where reliable visibility is essential. Insights from Evolving Travel Habits Insights from the Tesla owner community reinforce a broader trend: drivers are placing greater importance on preparedness as travel becomes more flexible and unpredictable. From late-night stops to unfamiliar surroundings, dependable lighting is increasingly viewed as a necessity rather than an accessory. The Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley vice president shared how the ArkPro Ultra has already become part of his routine: "My wife and I walk every night, and having a reliable flashlight is a must—whether spotting wildlife or crossing dark streets where drivers aren't always paying attention. The ArkPro Ultra's bright beam and compact design have replaced our bulkier flashlight entirely." His experience highlights how versatile lighting tools are evolving from optional gear into everyday essentials—whether for neighborhood walks or Spring Break road trips. From Convenience to Preparedness Lighting tools are no longer viewed as optional accessories, but as essential components of everyday preparedness. Whether during a planned road trip or an unexpected stop, reliable visibility can directly impact safety and decision-making. The ArkPro reflects this shift—bridging everyday carry with travel readiness and delivering dependable illumination when it matters most. To mark the season, Olight is launching a limited-time Spring Break campaign to engage its community and highlight evolving travel needs.

Hotel Linen Manufacturer HANBI Optimizes Hotel ROI with 30% More Durable, High-Hygiene Bedding

By integrating factory-direct manufacturing and skin-friendly safety standards, HANBI delivers high-durability hotel bedding solutions that stabilize procurement budgets for 2,000+ luxury hospitality brands globally. NANNING, CHINA, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, the global hospitality conversation has been dominated by mattress "hardware" from giants like Sealy and Simmons. But a critical shift is happening in the "software" of sleep: the hotel linens that define a guest's direct tactile experience. HANBI, a vertically integrated hotel linen manufacturer, today announced the global expansion of its high-performance hotel bedding solutions. By addressing the industry's chronic struggle with textile longevity, HANBI's new line promises to extend product lifespan by 30%, offering a strategic edge to hotel owners worldwide. HANBI delivers factory-direct bedding solutions that combine high-performance durability with the soft, tactile elegance demanded by the world's leading hospitality groups. In an era of rising inflation, HANBI is redefining hotel ROI. The company controls the entire supply chain from raw yarn to the final product. By merging large-scale R&D with a "Factory-to-Hotel" direct model, it helps global hospitality partners—including Howard Johnson and Accord Hotels—reduce procurement overhead by 5% to 10%. Engineered for Longevity: The 30% AdvantageThe primary drain on a hotel's linen budget is the rapid deterioration caused by industrial laundering. HANBI has neutralized this via its proprietary reinforced weaving technology. This ensures that every hotel bedding set maintains its structure, whiteness, and "first-day" feel for up to 30% longer than standard industry alternatives. "We don't just weave fabric; we engineer performance for the modern hotel linen factory," says a spokesperson for HANBI. "Our linens undergo rigorous pre-shrinking and high-temperature setting. This ensures that a HANBI bed sheet retains its crisp, white, 'first-day' aesthetic, which is essential for any hotel luxury bedding standard. For a hotel owner, that 30% extra life is pure profit." Professional Hygiene Standards in a Luxury SettingPost-pandemic travelers demand more than just comfort; they demand uncompromising hygiene. HANBI's unique advantage lies in its dual-track production: applying the same strict hygiene standards found in their hospital bed sheets to their commercial hotel towels and linens. All core products are manufactured under strict safety standards, guaranteeing they are skin-friendly and free from harmful irritants. This remains a critical benchmark for eco-conscious wholesale hotel supplies. One-Stop Integration: From Hotel Pillows to AmenitiesHANBI's "One-Stop" philosophy simplifies the fragmented procurement process. Their integrated catalog covers every guest touchpoint: Hotel Bedding & Sets: High-thread-count cotton with superior breathability and durability. Hotel Towels & Bathrobes: High-GSM, long-staple cotton for maximum absorbency and softness. Guest Room Accessories: From hotel pillows to ergonomic slippers and bespoke amenity kits that align with a brand's unique DNA. Market Validation & Global ReachLate shipments are a constant headache for hotel managers. HANBI avoids this drama by maintaining a 98% on-time delivery rate. This consistency explains why 90% of their clients have stuck with the company for three years or more. Beyond just shipping products, HANBI acts as an agile OEM and ODM partner. This gives boutique owners and global giants the power to prototype a signature look and scale it across properties without the usual lead-time headaches or budget creep. About HANBIHANBI is a leading vertically integrated hotel linen manufacturer specializing in professional hospitality textiles. Unlike traditional trading companies, HANBI operates its own state-of-the-art hotel linen factory, ensuring total control over quality, cost, and lead times. From premium hotel linens to sustainable fabrics meeting the rigorous hygiene standards, HANBI is the "invisible champion" supporting the world's most demanding hospitality brands.

"It Survived 40,000 Feet, Drier Than the Sahara"--The Ultimate K-Beauty Barrier Cream Just Landed on Amazon

The evolution of a 10-year R&D heritage that previously swept top US luxury department stores. Meet Dr.BRID C, the next-generation biotech skincare line launching on Amazon—all under $25. NEW YORK and SEOUL, South Korea, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Altitude 40,000 feet. Humidity below 20%. If you've ever looked in the mirror after a long-haul flight to find your skin rough, red, and completely parched, this new beauty brand's origin story will instantly resonate with you. Dr.BRID C, the next-generation biotech skincare line launching on Amazon Born out of the desperate need for VIPs and beauty professionals to protect their skin in harsh, Sahara-like cabin environments, the next-generation biotech K-beauty brand Dr.BRID C has officially launched on US Amazon. The 'Paradox of Beauty': How We're Destroying Our Own Skin Even on the ground, our skin is under daily attack as if it were 40,000 feet in the air. Air conditioning, pollution, and ironically, our daily beauty routines—heavy makeup, harsh double-cleansing, and chemical exfoliation—are slowly stripping away our skin barrier. To break this vicious cycle, Dr.BRID C goes beyond temporary fixes with a clear and uncompromising philosophy: "Defense Before Beauty." Luxury Skincare Science That Awakens 'C-Peptide' Dr.BRID C's barrier-repairing prowess is rooted in a 10-year R&D heritage that previously dominated luxury US department stores like Barneys New York. Rejecting conventional moisturizers that just suffocate the skin with heavy oils, their scientists developed a proprietary patented technology: PEPTIBRID®. This technology encapsulates a powerful collagen-signaling peptide in soothing zinc oxide, delivering it safely and deeply into the skin. In cell tests, this resulted in a massive 175.3% surge in 'C-peptide,' a key biomarker for new collagen synthesis. "When trying to create a cream that could help skin survive a 14-hour flight, we realized surface hydration simply wasn't enough," says the Lead Researcher at Dr.BRID C. "Dr.BRID C helps build the fundamental strength skin needs to breathe and defend itself in any extreme environment." "Balanced and Springy"—Real Customers Prove the Barrier Miracle Dr.BRID C focuses on rebuilding the skin's core rather than just offering a temporary band-aid. And real customer reviews are already proving the miracle. An Amazon reviewer who suffered from a compromised oil-water balance and tightness praised the texture and moisture retention: "This cream moisturizer is smooth and makes the skin feel soft after overnight wear without lingering filminess or discomfort. Skin does not feel greasy or oily but balanced and springy." Furthermore, testers who experienced extreme inner dryness from frequent travel and UV exposure testified to the overwhelming difference: "I have sensitive skin, so after traveling, UV exposure makes my skin reactive and dry... This feels like I've finally found the right cream. It spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving residue. It addresses inner dryness beautifully." The #40,000ft Cream Lineup: A Customized Barrier Trio (All Under $25) Driven by the "Defense Before Beauty" philosophy, the launch centers around three targeted #40,000ft Creams designed for specific skin conditions. #40,000ft Barrier Defense Basic Cream ($19.99): The absolute hero of the lineup. Formulated with an optimal 12ppm of PEPTIBRID®, this cream becomes your new daily shield if your oil-water balance has collapsed. It absorbs instantly without any greasiness, creating the perfect velvet canvas for your makeup to grip onto. #40,000ft Hydro Relief Cream ($21.99): A cooling gel-cream packed with a high concentration of 21ppm PEPTIBRID® for sensitized, dehydrated skin. Just one use blocks Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by 30.81%, delivering an instant hit of deep hydration. #40,000ft Intensive Moisture Basic Cream ($21.99): The ultimate age-defying density care. Boasting 22ppm of PEPTIBRID®—the highest concentration in the lineup—it goes beyond barrier support to visibly improve signs of aging like enlarged pores, rough texture, and eye wrinkles over 8 weeks. Rounding out the collection is a synergistic, clean-formula lineup—including a pH-balancing toner and a 100-hour moisture-locking serum—all priced under $25. If you're ready to experience cutting-edge barrier defense that survives even the harshest conditions, Dr.BRID C is available now on Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/drbridc?maas=maas_adg_EE29DA495FDC3C85E3F4533006833714_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas).

The story follows an accidental identity swap between two young men—one shedding his halo to rediscover his passion, while the other rises to the top of the competitive arena—offering a profound reflection on the choices and destinies of youth. Confessions: This highly anticipated psychological thriller reunites the creative team behind The Pig, The Snake, and The Pigeon, starring Ethan Juan, Gingle Wang, and Yi-wen Chen. The narrative begins with a 2004 bombing and kidnapping case in Taipei that entwines three innocent families in a 20-year cycle of intergenerational conflict.

Simultaneously, the two lead characters, Qin Lingyue and Lin Xiyan, were officially "signed" as Youhug's first AI Actors. Youhug stated that while AI technology currently shortens production cycles and reveals new possibilities for deep integration with film and television creation, it remains in an exploratory stage. The company emphasized that real emotional resonance is paramount; the performances of human actors are irreplaceable and will become increasingly precious. Consequently, AI actors will only appear in AI-specific dramas and will not be used in live-action series. By expanding from upcoming titles to AI-driven creations, Youhug Media has formed a full-category content ecosystem where long-form dramas, films, short plays, and AI series develop synergistically across genres such as period, reality, suspense, and action. The company remains committed to building an industry benchmark that balances artistic strength with market competitiveness, delivering works with depth, warmth, and value to contribute to the high-quality development of the industry.

Rather than layering on marginal improvements, Saros 20 was engineered to address these structural limitations at the system level - redesigning mobility, perception, and cleaning coordination through an integrated intelligence-driven architecture. At the core of this capability is the new AdaptiLift™ Chassis 3.0, a dynamically reconfigurable mobility system designed to conquer real architectural transitions. Unlike traditional fixed-wheel designs, AdaptiLift™ combines liftable main wheels, auxiliary wheels, and a climbing arm to adapt to uneven surfaces once the environment has been analyzed in real time. The system enables Saros 20 to cross double-layer thresholds up to 1.77 + 1.69 inches (4.5 + 4.3 cm) [1], intelligently testing and memorizing optimal crossing strategies for future passes. It can also dynamically elevate its chassis to optimize brush contact on carpets up to 1.18 inches (3 cm) in pile height [2], ensuring deeper fiber engagement while maintaining stability. Serving as the cognitive core of Saros 20 is the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0, Roborock's next-generation 3D vision platform. Supporting recognition of over 300 object types and operating at a 21x higher sampling frequency than traditional LDS navigation [3][4], StarSight™ enables faster mapping, more accurate localization, and more precise obstacle avoidance — including cable nests, pet toys, and small everyday clutter. VertiBeam™ lateral obstacle avoidance further enhances edge alignment along irregular surfaces, reducing entanglement risks and minimizing missed zones. True Whole-Home Coverage Beyond mobility and navigation, Saros 20 delivers comprehensive cleaning across surfaces. Its coordinated lift architecture allows the chassis, main brush, and dual spinning mops to adjust automatically depending on floor type. On carpets, the mops lift to prevent moisture transfer while suction and brush pressure optimize debris removal. On hard floors, adaptive downforce increases scrubbing intensity to tackle dried spills and sticky residue. FlexiArm™ technology extends cleaning precision into edges and corners, reaching into toe-kick spaces as low as 0.79 inches (2 cm) [5] and reducing visible edge gaps. Combined with the 36,000Pa HyperForce® digital motor [6] and Roborock's dual anti-tangle system, Saros 20 is engineered to handle long hair, shedding pets, and fine debris while reducing maintenance interruptions. Paired with the upgraded RockDock®, which features 212°F hot-water mop washing, 131°F warm-air drying [7], auto dust emptying for up to 65 days, and optional refill and drainage integration, Saros 20 delivers a truly automated cleaning experience tailored for larger, more complex homes.
