Travel 2024: the best places to visit this year

It’s easy to have a wonderful time in Marrakesh but the rest of the country is ripe for discovery and about to have its moment. This year, head north to Rabat, Tangiers or Casablanca. Travel writer Mary Lussiana says: “In the capital, Rabat, a Four Seasons Hotel is launching on the edge of the Atlantic. Called Kasr Al Bahr, the Castle of the Sea, it was previously the summer palace of a sultan and promises to deliver on sense of place. Tangier, which has been short on enticing places to stay, has opened Fairmont Tazi recently, and the beautiful Villa Mabrouka, once home to Yves St Laurent, has been wonderfully refurbished by Jasper Conran. It’s also exciting that the acclaimed Royal Mansour in Marrakesh is opening a sibling hotel in Casablanca in early 2024 and is slated to open something ...

2024 hair trend predictions: from the ‘Boyb’ to halo cuts and rodeo reds

Plenty of famous women are sporting chic, coiffed bobs currently, from Zendaya to Hailey Bieber, and the style is set to get more brazen, thinks Buller. He says, "The Boyb is our lead trend prediction for the season," describing the new look as a "shorter, sharper, sexier, androgynous" cut which is blunt or only very subtly layered. Source link

Manon Les Suites, Copenhagen: hotel review

Manon Les Suites, Copenhagen: hotel review

Chapung, Manon Les Suites’ sixth-floor restaurant overlooking the Lakes, is responsible for its breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. You’ll feel virtuous after their signature breakfast, where Bali meets Denmark (think fried rice with homemade granolas and exotic fruits, and a selection of slightly less virtuous pastries). While foods are largely organic and sourced locally, the inspiration for dinner has travelled several thousand miles further, featuring Asian fusion dishes including sashimi, kimchi, tom kha, seaweed and salmon. Or, if you fancy dining quietly a deux, room service options include caviar and champagne, green curry or chicken satay. Whatever you choose, be sure to be on either the rooftop or at your suite’s windows for sundown. Source link

Kate Moss’ 50th birthday: Her 50 most iconic looks ever

Her outings walking for, and partying with, a close set of fashion designer friends — including John Galliano, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs, as well as those no longer with us, Lee Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood — have gone down in fashion history. So too have her off duty looks, with notable mentions going to her muddied Glasto Hunter wellies in 2005, and the skinny-jeans-and-a-Balenciaga-city-bag get ups which were a Primrose Hill right of passage during the noughties.

Sun Siyam resorts, Maldives: The holiday like an A-lister

One of the great glories of the resort is the staff. Wherever you go, whatever you do, without you knowing it’s even happening, someone is quietly keeping a helpful eye on you. They magically appear, like a fairy-godperson; a mixture of chauffeur, waiter and guide. When I casually strolled over to breakfast, my butler Thahseen would suddenly arrive the moment I finished to ask if I slept OK and needed a better pillow (there’s an entire menu of to choose from), one day he turned up with approximately seven variations of lotions and cream for my insect bites. Another day my broken sunglasses, left scattered on my terrace, reappeared completely fixed by our cheery housekeeper, Saddam. You only have to lick your lips and look pensive and one of the twinkly can-do staff appears with your favour...
Are you getting enough detoxifying glutathione in your diet?

Are you getting enough detoxifying glutathione in your diet?

The role of glutathione is so important that experts have nicknamed it, ‘‘the king of antioxidants.’’ Glutathione is a tripeptide — a compound made up of three amino acids (cysteine, glucose and glutamic acid), and although it is naturally synthesised by the body, it is also readily available in certain food sources, which brings us to our next point. Like many good-for-us nutrients, levels of glutathione drop with age, so we’d all benefit from increasing dietary forms of the antioxidant to enable our body do its job even better. These are the diet rules to follow… Source link

British Library cyber attack explained — and its devastating consequences

For now, while there are students brushing up for exams in the halls, academics across the UK who want the BL's core services are struggling. Writer Dr Dick McCaw, a reader in performance practices at Royal Holloway University, has been using the library for decades, and written six books here. “I’m starting to do my research for the next book. And to be honest with you, I have no idea how I’m going to get hold of this stuff,” he says. Dr Catherine Bateson, a history lecturer at the University of Kent, says she’s may have to change her undergraduate course because some resources aren't available, and mourns the loss of research scholarships for young academics. Phoebe Day, 25, is doing an art history PhD, and says while her work has been delayed, it's not as bad as some of her friends who ...

Post office scandal: ‘when they led me to my prison cell it felt like I’d died’

Despite all of these traumas, we're just glad that this story has finally managed to break through thanks to ITV, albeit too late for many. Until this the four-part drama aired last week it was in the news here and there, but it never broken through, because there was Brexit, then the elections, then Covid... I did finally speak to my local MP Bambos Charalambous, MP for Enfield Southgate, after my conviction was overturned. I ended up in tears just trying to tell him what had happened. He's been very supportive, reaching out just a couple of days ago to ask how he can help us further. But until this week, it felt like most members of the public didn't care, despite it being described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. It was meant to be such a serious thing yet nobo...
