He’s the BFF of our future king who’s been there through all his big life milestones: the childhood friend Prince William used to go shooting with on the Sandringham Estate; the confidante he selected to be Prince George’s godfather; and the man by his side when he stood as an usher at the Duke of Westminster’s wedding last month, pictured smiling next to each other in their suits outside Chester Cathedral. Perhaps it’s little surprise, then, that William van Cutsem, 45, is the man the trusted by the Duke of Wales, 42, to become his colleague at the Duchy estate. The father-of-two will take on the role of adviser to the council at the 130,000-acre estate the duke inherited last year — a nod to his background as a chartered surveyor, and his unique position as the prince’s most loyal friend...

My apologies, but I am going to open this article with the C word; it is impossible to frame the abundance of wellness products that have flooded the market without talking about what happened during Covid. I will whizz you through the timeline because I know it’s tedious. Coronavirus happened, we had to barricade ourselves indoors, many of us realised that feeling good was valuable, and then a great many of us decided to up our wellness efforts from our homes because, well, we were stuck in them. The wellbeing industry of course responded robustly, issuing products designed to encourage sleep, improve circulation and relaxation, mimic sunlight, and all sorts of other things. As a beauty and wellness journalist, I was sent new products daily, many of which made me roll my eyes, but some of...

The hotel's restaurant, Majorelle, is a beautiful, refined space decorated with big flower arrangements and elaborate table settings. It serves French-Moroccan cuisine and is known for seasonal ingredients and wine pairings. The bar, Jacques, has mosaic marble floors and antique mirrored ceilings: both were inspired by the iconic Yves Saint Laurent gardens in Marrakech. Upstairs, the Pembroke room, a European style salon, is a relaxing space to enjoy an all-American breakfast, before heading out into the big city. Source link

In the evening, a pretty courtyard is open for people to enjoy Wood Fired pizzas from the outdoor oven. It’s £27 per person for pizza, salad and dessert, or a £70 deal for a family of four, pizza, salad, dessert each.  The available local drinks were very limited – we had a bottle of red as that was the only wine left, and it wasn’t great for the money – but it’s a nice relaxed setting, with sofas to relax on in Linhay Barn, an plenty of outdoor space where the children can run around with each other.   Source link

Tarmey adds there are many factors that contribute to cellulite’s formation. “The list is huge: sedentary lifestyle, wearing tight clothes, being overweight in general, experiencing large weight fluctuations (particularly during and after pregnancy), having a progesterone deficiency, suffering from circulatory problems, smoking, consuming a poor diet (especially one containing excessive salt and sugar), and posture defects which may impede proper blood supply to the limbs.” Source link

Another day, another influencer relationship drama on social media. This time, the players are American rapper Ice Spice, UK rapper Central Cee and British TikTok influencer Madeline Argy - and it’s turned into a bit of a messy love triangle.  Madeline Argy and Ice Spice in December 2023Chelsea FC via Getty ImagesThe social media storm began when 24-year-old Argy posted a video to her more than seven million followers on TikTok accusing her on-again, off-again boyfriend Central Cee of cheating on her with Ice Spice (yikes). After Argy’s video blew up online, the Ice Spice referenced the drama in her own TikTok video, which many view as a not-so-subtle dig at Argy. If you’re not chronically online, or just have no idea what’s going on, here’s everything you need to know.Where did the cheati...

It’s hard to keep up with all the ingredients touted as ‘the next big thing’ in the worlds of beauty and wellness. But when the noise is backed up by science and the experts are raving about it — you know it’s time to listen. And right now, saffron has nutritionists buzzing for its mood-boosting qualities, having steadily emerged as a key ingredient in supplements — and it’s gaining some prominence in topical skincare too.Most of us know saffron as the pricey cooking spice which with a potent flavour. The tiny strands are stigmas from the flower of Crocus sativus. It’s nothing new in the world of wellness, having been used medicinally for millennia and for centuries in Ayurveda (traditional Indian and Sri Lankan medicine), as it’s a powerful antioxidant with three bioactive compounds (croc...

Anything taken at the Enhanced Games, Magnussen says, “has to be FDA approved and prescribed by a medical professional”. His drug of choice is testosterone: “something that’s produced naturally in our body and that declines rapidly from our late twenties onwards”. That decline, Magnussen says, is a “leading cause” of “lower libido, lower energy levels, low mood” and “a decrease in muscle and strength”. In short, the male menopause. What the sportsman leaves out, or perhaps hasn’t been told, is that testosterone supplements, when taken over many years, only accelerate the condition he describes.
