Would you turn your old Nikes into a top? How upcycling found its fashion cool

You might, of course, have your own groaning archive of old personal fashion stock. Want to re-spin these? Check out Della Yellow, which will take your old clothes and turn them into something wholly new. Simply choose a style from their website (from £10, della-yellow.com), pop your piece in the post to them and welcome back an entirely reimagined item (your scraggy old jeans could become an of the moment denim skirt).  Source link
‘I inherited an Italian farmhouse and want everyone to enjoy its beauty’

‘I inherited an Italian farmhouse and want everyone to enjoy its beauty’

The house is called Il Bacio, Italian for The Kiss, which I can’t help but like, and as you turn down its driveway it welcomes you like a stone-clad ship sat at dock. Spread over two floors and holding five sprawling bedrooms with their own bathrooms, it even has its own courtyard and library. The old wooden olive press from its 19th century farmhouse days stands by what is now the dining room. The ancient hearth, dating back to the 15th century, remains as much the centre of the household as it was when all living there had to gather round it for cooking and heat. Source link

How Black hair care went mainstream

How Black hair care went mainstream

Even growing up in a city as multicultural as London, mainstream hair salons have, for the most part, been ill-equipped to deal with textured hair. As a result, the few black hair salons that do exist are often vastly oversubscribed. According to one survey, the UK has just 314 afro hair salons out of almost 45,000 registered hair and beauty salons. The options are extremely limited, and when the supply doesn’t match the demand, customer experience can suffer. Every black woman I know has a horror story about multiple hour-long wait times and less than optimal service, to put it mildly. Even for those who can afford a more luxury experience, for a long time the options simply haven’t existed. Source link
The best hotels in New York City | London Evening Standard

The best hotels in New York City | London Evening Standard

This is the first city opening in the US from Aman, the lifestyle brand associated with super smart spas, exceptional service and no detail spared in design or craft. Now, it has managed to take the crown for the most expensive hotel in Manhattan, a bold move, but it has been pulled off with charm. There’s no sweeping lobby here, rather, an atmospherically lit entrance with two elevators that take you high up to the 14th floor. Staff seem to slip out from every hallway, there to help point you to your room, the inanely slick spa or high-tech gym (helpful as the signage is slightly lack and it can be hard to know where to go). But, once you get to where you’re going, you won’t want to leave. Rooms are enormous, with beds that melt and tubs that call your name. Where to eat? Two excellent sp...

Hyrox: the gruelling cult workout that’s taken over London

The final hurdle, people say, is the most cruel. Wall Balls involves striking a target (10 feet tall for men; 9 feet tall for women) with a ball (4-9kg depending on your level and whether you compete as a pro or an amateur). You need to squat with the ball before each strike and if you don’t, prepare to be called out by the station’s judge. Tired and sweaty though one might be towards this point, do not splash yourself with water: you don’t want the ball slipping through your fingers. Also, have a friend in the crowd who you can give your top to: trust me, you will be stripping off. Wall Balls – and the race – are over once you reach 75 strikes in women’s and women’s doubles races, and 100 strikes in men’s, men’s pro, women’s pro, men’s doubles and mixed doubles races.

Can this perfume improve your sex life?

Can this perfume improve your sex life?

So, on the one hand, scent tugs on instinct saying “yes, fancy this person, they’d be a good DNA match for you,” while the appeal is doubled if the scent has positive ties to our past. Perfume has traditionally tacked onto the latter idea: memories, and often draws on the classic smells of holidays or baking, for example. But in recent years, there has been a rise of scents drawing on the science of aromatherapy to take things a step further, to push perfume into the realm of mood-directing, emotion-enhancing.  Source link

Enjoy the ultimate eco-weekend in Wales

Naturally and intuitively sustainable, the owners restored the buildings in an environmentally sensitive fashion, earning them accolades from Green Tourism UK. The natural surroundings are equally as impressive. The 26 acres are a patchwork of wild meadows and grasses, a groomed knot garden, woodland and bat-friendly roof spaces. The hotel also has its own borehole, which allows it to be responsible and self-sufficient with water, with 50p from all filtered-water bottles going to a children’s hospice. If a retreat run on renewables is your benchmark for green, here the biomass boiler is fed by local chippings with solar panels showing that Wales can deliver enough sunshine to keep the water heated for the cottages. Plus, there are EV-chargers in the car park. The super-sexy ground-floor ma...
What was life before lip oil?

What was life before lip oil?

And, yes, pioneers did of course give us a glimpse of what lip oil life might be like, most notably Clarins, with its 2015 Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, but largely the jobs of adding the aforementioned colour, hydration and shine were divided and we all duly carted around lipsticks and lip balms and lip gloss — and our shoulders and spirits suffered.
