Bob, be gone: why I’m embracing the return of super-long hair for 2024

This mania for long hair is hardly a new thing for me. Growing up, I developed a fixation with the film Splash and promptly decided as a grown up that I would like hair so long that I could forgo a bikini top (yes, I was an odd child). I almost achieved this goal at school – until, to my horror, I had to chop it all off after an incident with an excess of bleach about which I would rather not speak. Since then, my hair never made it far past my collarbone again. Source link

10 of the best trips for solo travel

In short, people are now travelling solo not because they have to – but because they want to. Emboldened with a ‘now or never’ attitude post-pandemic and more confident than ever about spending time solitary, travellers are busy booking their dream trips, regardless of life stage or relationship status. Many tour operators have noticed the trend: Scott Dunn reported a 30 per cent increase in solo bookings in 2023, while Black Tomato saw them almost double. In response to demand, many operators have launched solo travel collections or solo-specific departure dates, while others are waiving pricey single supplements. Source link

The one thing that’s worse than people banging on about Dry January…

So saying yes to a glass of wine at dinner which will, undetected, not be drunk or subsequently filled up. Buying drinks that look like an actual drink – tonic water – at the pub (which means buying the first round, but there you go). Clasping a stunt cocktail at a party while one flits from conversation to conversation to avoid detection. And there are only two rules. One: you are not allowed to stay in, ever. And two, if anyone rumbles you then you have failed. In this sense, I suppose, it is more a game than it is a wellness practice which is hugely preferable because drinking games are much more fun than wellness practices. Source link

Will you have to start paying tax on Depop, eBay and Vinted?

“Depop, Vinted, eBay and other platforms encourage growth of a cyclical, environmentally sustainable UK economy in post-Brexit Britain — as shipping clothes internationally today is so expensive, most transactions on these platforms are UK to UK," he says. "It will likely stop people looking to make an economic difference to their own lives taking part in this undoubtedly positive economic activity.” Source link

Crown Prince Frederik, the ‘party prince’: the down-to-earth next king of Denmark who met his wife in a pub

“The bottom line is that we must never stop developing and the royal house must continue to be a meaningful institution that the Danes are proud of and support,” he added.  Gitte Redder, the author who interviewed Frederik at the time, called the future king "a star among many Danes" even before he took to the throne, nodding to his various nicknames among the Danish public, from the Frogman King and the Rock ’n’ Roll King to the Sportsman King and the Green King. “By nature he is open-minded, curious and down to earth. With Crown Princess Mary he has already set the agenda on sustainability, medicine and human rights, and the royal couple has ambitions that the monarchy should also be relevant, useful and have value for young generations in the future," she said.
