Parliament has signed a deal to house up to 1,000 staff in the former home of Westminster City Council in Victoria while the £4bn restoration of the Palace of Westminster takes place.

<p>There’s one house in <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-guide/los-angeles" target="_blank">Los Angeles</a> that probably has more ties to Hollywood history than any other. And it just went up for sale.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/taylorboozan/2019/07/09/marilyn-monroes-old-hideaway-lists-for-115-million-in-los-angeles-most-exclusive-neighborhood/#28012100695b" target="_blank">Forbes</a>, the iconic Owlwood Estate, nestled between Beverly Hills and Bel Air in Los Angeles, is officially on the market for $115 million. The historic house has ties to several of the most famous celebrities ever, including Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Cher.</p><img alt="Marilyn Monroe's Mansion "src="https://cdn-image.travelandleisure.com/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1000/public/1562869060/marilyn-monroe-house-exterior-MONROEHOUSE0719.jpg?itok=kSLNxDsR"><p>Perhaps most notably, the house was known as Marilyn Monroe’s “hideaway,” since it was owned by former 20th Century Fox chairman Joseph Schenck during the 1950s, according to the <em><a href="https://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/luxury/celebrity-homes/marilyn-monroes-la-hideaway-historic-owlwood-estate-is-for-sale-for-92-million-a131931.html" target="_blank">Evening Standard</a></em>.

It was later purchased by actor Tony Curtis, who sold it to Sonny Bono and Cher in the 1970s.</p><p>Die-hard fans of Marilyn Monroe would surely love to own a piece of her storied life like Owlwood.

The home was originally built in the 1930s for Los Angeles entrepreneur Arthur Letts.</p><p>In 2017, Owlwood Estate was originally listed for just over $170 million, the <em>Evening Standar</em>, reported. Around this time, the estate was used for a Grammy Awards party thrown by Jay-Z with stars like Rihanna and Nick Jonas in attendance, according to <em>Forbes</em>.</p><p>More information, photos, and even video tours of Owlwood can be found on the <a href="https://www.141carolwood.com/" target="_blank">home listing</a>.</p>

<p>In the travel accessories world, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LB7REFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tltrtlpillowplusprimeday-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00LB7REFK&amp;linkId=a8161a837a64e9467c0497995656c6d9" target="_blank">Trtl pillow</a> is something of a phenomenon. Its unconventional approach to supporting the head and neck changed what a <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/style/travel-accessories/best-travel-pillows" target="_blank">neck pillow</a> could look like — and how well it could work — thus converting travel pillow non-believers everywhere. (It’s safe to say <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/style/shopping/trtl-pillow-review" target="_blank">our editors are obsessed</a>.) Now, the folks over at Scotland-based Trtl have finally released the 2.0 version: the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NZ18SRY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tltrtlpillowplusprimeday-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07NZ18SRY&amp;linkId=435c385e8ec45134cdc6ea83734a742d" target="_blank">Trtl Pillow Plus</a> — and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NZ18SRY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tltrtlpillowplusprimeday-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07NZ18SRY&amp;linkId=c549989ce0904dd752cb565278e8b854" target="_blank">you can score one on sale for Amazon Prime Day</a>.</p><p>After raising $450,000 in via crowdfunding campaigns on both Kickstarter and Indiegogo, the new pillow is finally available to shop on Amazon — where it quickly skyrocketed to the No. 1 New Release spot, by the way.</p><p>Five years of sleep ergonomics research went into the new version, and two major consumer wishes have been granted: lighter fabric and adjustable height. The new material is far more breathable than the Trtl pillow 1.0's fleece. It's still lined with super-soft micro-fleece, but there's now a mesh panel running along the center that will keep you from overheating. It's also still machine washable for convenience. </p><p><strong>Related:</strong> <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/style/travel-accessories/travel-neck-pillow-reviews" target="_blank">We Put 17 Travel Pillows to the Test, and Only One Got a Perfect Score</a></p><img alt="trtl pillow plus launch "src="https://cdn-image.travelandleisure.com/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1000/public/1538594427/trtl-pillow-plus-how-to-TRTL1018.jpg?itok=1yB93uRo"><p>More notably than the fabric change, though, is the new adjustable height feature for the internal support 'V'. Unwrapped, there are two auto-locking toggles that you can twist toward the right to expand or toward the left to shorten. And they operate independently of one another, so your Trtl can be shorter near your face and taller behind your shoulder, for example. Actually, it has 80 possible configurations — 80!</p><p>We tested one and were surprised to learn that once you get your height settings just-right Goldilocks style, you won't even need to wrap the fabric around your neck. The pillow will snuggle itself in between your head and shoulder and just do its thing on its own. </p><p>The price point for the Plus has gone up alongside the quality, usually retailing at $60 (the original Trtl Pillow generally retails for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LB7REFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tltrtlpillowplusprimeday-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00LB7REFK&amp;linkId=8f9cccbd12ffbe2c572406a38087856e" target="_blank">$30 on Amazon</a>).
