Time for a sustainable spa staycation?

When it comes to choosing a cleanse, making sustainable choices presents tension between choosing what’s best for ‘we’ and what’s most convenient for ‘me’. Make the most of a wellness week at home by signing up for a cleanse where you just drink fresh-press, nutritionist-designed juice programmes for three to five days. The jury’s still out on whether skipping solids in favour of an all-liquid diet is the most sensible regime, but for many giving our digestive systems a rest feels like a a great way to detox and reset with a concentrated intake of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients — and it’s more nourishing than an Ozempic approach. When it comes to bring more eco, Presscription Juice is a London-based brand which delivers without any single-use plastic bottles (just be sure to re...

John Legend interview: baby loss, wife Chrissy Teigen being cancelled, and Kanye West friendship souring

But we’re not actually meeting to discuss the election. Legend is in London for a show to promote two milestone releases. The first, My Favorite Dream, dropped in late summer and marks his music for children debut, even featuring a track with vocals from Teigen and their eldest children, Luna, eight, and Miles, six — ah, there’s that wholesome family man again. The whole thing may sound a bit twee, but with production by Sufjan Stevens and Legend’s old-soul vocals, it’s a record that still has the potential to charm adult listeners. Besides, following the couple’s highly-publicised miscarriage in 2020 and the subsequent arrival of their two youngest children, Esti and Wren, in 2023, for Legend, the album serves a greater purpose.

How to avoid the four viruses known as the quaddemic

I’ve just recovered from a virus. A trifling one in the grand scheme of things, but I was nonetheless in bed for two solid days feeling sorry for myself. Between fever dreams, I scrolled on my phone for health advice. An insane thing to do while not quite sound of mind you may think – and you’d be right, because it was during one such session that I stumbled across the news of what’s being dubbed a quad-demic, aka what sounds like a hellish constellation: Covid-19, flu, norovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (in layman’s terms: pretty much a cold). After that, I found myself down the rabbit’s hole. Apparently on the rise, Boots have launched a private RSV vaccination service to help reduce the likelihood of those most at risk, including the elderly and babies, from getting it. But what...

6 times we fell in love with Rod Stewart: from building model railways to fixing potholes

Or then again, it might be because he’s such a stand-up guy. From fixing potholes to mucking around with toy trains, there’s a lot to love about the veteran crooner – and that’s before we get into the seemingly never-ending range of hits that have spanned decades.With Stewart getting ready to play the Legends slot next year, here’s a list of reasons (as if we needed any more) why we love him so.Living in the Essex countryside can be a dangerous game for a man who has a massive sports car collection. “Because of the potholes on our roads, I may have to find new owners for them,” Stewart moaned during one interview, but there’s also the second option: taking matters into his own hands. Stewart has actually carried out road repairs to the potholes around his house in Harlow: the videos of hi...

The Dorchester Hotel London review: Is this the Capital’s luxest Christmas stay?

The Dorchester is something of a London institution, known as much for its famous regulars as its unapologetic grandeur. It was a favourite stay of Elizabeth Taylor’s, with its Harlequin Penthouse suite now renamed eponymously in her honour. More recently Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and their It girl contingent were known to hop between its restaurants and bars on nights out in the Noughties. While nowadays it attracts a steady flow of mostly international visitors for its spoiling service, palatial suites, and exacting standards. And this is what it promises to deliver with bells on for Christmas.The hotel unveiled a major makeover earlier this year with an overhaul of its rooms and a more contemporary scheme, so this winter marks its first festive season with the new look.The decorations went...

Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry

It’s not just a way to bring home the bacon, though: Allen appears to enjoy it. “I’m finding this actually quite empowering,” she said on her podcast, Miss Me, in July. “Having been very sexualized from a very early age, and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualization, it’s actually really fun to be like, in power and in control of something that I find so silly,” Source link

Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: stylish roadster fun in the city – and in the bends

Let’s get one thing straight about Royal Enfield’s latest machine; it’s the Guerrilla, not the Gorilla. Clearly, the makers are trying to evoke a slightly rugged, subversive, even rebellious tone - not the hairy beast famous for its large head, short neck and gentle, human-like behaviour. But what a great little beast it is: sharp-looking, agile, lightweight, nicely put together and, above all, fun and very easy to ride, just as you’d expect of a new machine that has been in development for around five years.The big surprise, however, is what you get for the money. Costing from just £4,850 in ‘Smoke Silver’ (rising to £5,050 for fancier colours) it undercuts its competitor, the Triumph Speed 400 for instance, which costs £5,195, by £345; enough for a decent crash helmet, new riding suit or...

Ellen Degeneres joins the Cotswolds’ A-list: a local’s guide by Plum Sykes

The Cotswolds have always appealed to an “elite set”. But it was the events of 2020 that sent interest in the rolling hills of the South West sky high. “During Covid a lot of people started relocating out here,” former Vogue editor Plum Sykes tells me over the phone from her own Cotswoldian digs, nestled on the hills between Cheltenham and Cirencester.“I’m talking about these mega rich hedge funders and people who were normally working in London. The giant palace in Holland Park was swapped for a giant flat in Holland Park. Then the house was swapped for a giant manor house in the country. They moved that domestic centre to the countryside rather than it being in London. And then everything became elevated.”Author and former Vogue editor Plum SykesPlum SykesAnd the area gained even more re...
