Harry and Meghan: what is the Sussex strategy after Nigeria ‘royal tour’?

Of course, there’s also Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which so far has only released a limited-edition batch of strawberry jams, 50 of which were sent out in cute lemon-filled baskets to Meghan’s nearest and dearest (which include former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, fashion designer Tracy Robbins, wife of the president of Paramount Pictures, and Delfina Blaquier, wife of Harry’s polo-playing pal Nacho Figueras). Critics have been swift to point out that the brand’s trad-wife aesthetic – in its promotional video, Meghan is seen wearing an apron in the kitchen, as well as wafting around a Montecito mansion in a ballgown – feels at odds with the more presidential chords struck in Nigeria.

An insider’s guide to Gloucestershire, where The Gentleman was filmed

You’d be hard pressed to find someone in London who hasn’t binged The Gentleman by now. Remember the handsome pile owned by the Horniman family and the sprawling estate, on which the Glass clan’s were running their clandestine activities, and where Geoff Secombe (Vinnie Jones) turned a blind eye in his keeper’s cottage? That’s Badminton House, owned by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. Their daughter, Lady Bella Somerset grew up in this beautiful part of Gloucestershire and the house’s ornate rooms and rolling parklane, which she now uses as part of her Somercecil wellness retreats (when she’s not leading groups on mindfulness treks through the Himalayas).The Gentleman is set in real life pile Badminton HouseKevin Baker/NetflixWe caught up with Bella for her Gloucestershire gems, many of w...
What it’s like to detox at the Soho Farmhouse of Milan

What it’s like to detox at the Soho Farmhouse of Milan

Thankfully, there isn’t. I found this out on day two, after a lifestyle biomarkers meeting, bio-energetic checkup and medical consultation. This involves a blood test, a conversation about your typical diet and a test to see which of your “energy centres” are experiencing stress. I was dubious of this chakra-esque element, but the Chenot professional did correctly identify my liver and feet as being under stress, which was wholly correct. What was even more interesting, though, was the result of my blood and medical tests: I’m vitamin B and C deficient, which explains all the sickness, as well as under hydrated and oversaturated with salt (I replied to the doctor, “That is because I love salt.”) But, on the plus side, I apparently have the metabolism of a 23-year-old. Huzzah! Source lin...

How summer 2024 became the season of the fashion sock

But with a world of sock styles and colours to choose from, and likely a whole selection ready-made in your own sock drawer, which is the type to pick? “I’ve been seeing girls wearing red socks everywhere,” says Stothert, “and I love those especially because I think they just feel really preppy. It reminds me of really dapper men at fashion week, especially at Pitti Oumo. It feels almost like a reference to funky men’s tailoring. They go with everything — brown shoes, red shoes, white shoes, black shoes, everything.” Source link

The best villas to book in Europe — with sensational pools

Long afternoons flicking through the sun-cracked pages of a novel, poolside; al fresco dinners rustled together from local market jaunts; endless games of cards into the still evening, always to a lazy cicada chorus. There is nothing quite like a Mediterranean summer holiday, when you forget what day it is and while away hours on a sun lounger or on morning ambles for fresh bread. It recalls the delicious boredom of childhood – one technology cruelly wrenched from us – where the crunch of brittle grass underfoot is observed and the eye is afforded time to trace the outline of the hills and soak in the surrounding bucolic oomph. Sleek, otter-like bodies surge from pools and flop onto warm towels, and along the coast, friends nurse gin and tonics with tight, sun-kissed skin as the water in t...

Best massage guns 2024 for percussive therapy at home

Whether you’re tight because you’ve been caning the gym since it reopened, or are simply still suffering from ongoing WFH aches and pains - a massage gun is a game-changing investment that will serve a purpose way beyond post-pandemic life.Massage vibration devices deliver percussive therapy by way of short pulses of pressure to the soft tissue. While they initially launched as a saviour to your DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) after a hefty HIIT sesh, many now use one daily as part of their self-care regime. What are the benefits of percussive therapy?  “The overarching use is often focused on recovery, but applications can also be seen in preparing the body for movement, sport or exercise, and for daily self-care,” says Steve Powell, director of education at Power Plate UK. “Benefit...

Here, we’ve put together dos and don’ts to help boys get through every compromising situation they could find themselves in during the hotter months: from the pub to the beach, via London Fields.

Best sleep retreats and packages in London

Now, onto the sleep package: when you enter your room, there’s a kit containing a headset, a dream journal, a lucid dreaming guide, and LabTonica’s Unplugged range. The idea behind the headset is to take you on an AI-driven journey designed to allow lucid dreaming, effectively like zoning out with images morphing before your eyes, your mind becomes buttery and soft as you ‘sleep’ — but lucidly, i.e. you are in control of your body and can command what’s happening while drifting. Dream expert Charlie Morley says it, “helps people reduce stress and enhance their emotional processing, as well as improving their quality of sleep and sleep pattern.” I found the set up innovative and surprisingly effective, feeling inspired and rested the following day.
