The super supplements to get on your radar for 2024

The super supplements to get on your radar for 2024

The hero ingredient here is lactoferrin, an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory protein that is an immune modulator, doing its work to protect you from germs via the eyes, nose, mouth, and certain white blood cells. Chew one of these daily, and the combination of the lactoferrin, vitamin C, and zinc begins its good work in the mouth before making its way into the body, optimising immune function, and potentially nipping incipient illnesses in the bud. Very clever and paving the way for how immune-boosting supplements will invariably look in the future. Source link
Why would anyone leave London for Christmas?

Why would anyone leave London for Christmas?

A few years ago, in the run-up to Christmas, I visited New York in December. I wanted to know if I wanted to be *somewhere else* during the festive time. I saw the lights, shopped like my credit card would never get declined, wore glitzy outfits to company Christmas parties, listened to carols in St Patrick’s Cathedral and skated round Central Park, absorbing every glittering bauble Manhattan could throw at me.

Should we stop buying Christmas gifts?

Should we stop buying Christmas gifts?

There is a growing movement against gift giving. Two writers this weekend explained how they wouldn’t be buying a single thing  - not even for their children. A colleague isn’t buying her husband or sister anything, but they are going on holiday to Spain. There are clearly wiser things to spend money on than novelty chess sets. When faced with the reality of mounting Sylvanian Family landfill, the horror of rising bills, and the simple fact that gifts tend not to be things anyone really needs, I can see their point.

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to the Alps: ‘Who comes on here to sleep?’

And, well, there was good reason to celebrate: this trip marked the storied train’s inaugural journey from Paris to the Alps – and, in this case, glitzy Courchevel. You see, darlings, avant is the new après and where better to carouse before skiing then aboard the world’s most lavish locomotive? Indeed, I couldn’t have been giddier as we boarded at the Gare de Lyon. Source link

The Travel Corporation: helping make travel a force for good

For industry-wide progress to be made, Guihan says, there has to be widespread collaboration. “Of course, we’re not always getting it right but by sharing our knowledge, we have the space to adjust, change course and evolve. We must align, as an industry, to support our supply chain, so they too can make manageable changes.” Source link

A year in fashion — how 2023 was your wardrobe?

Daddy dandyism is the viral male load which keeps on giving. What this means for a testosterone-strewn dinner table near you soon, we’d love to know. But when Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer posed together in a knit-wear thirst trap the internet almost shut down in shock. You may have also noted Jacob Elordi’s Saltburn premiere appearances with Barry Keoghan, not to mention Taylor Swift’s new man Travis Kelce whose looks are getting more attention than her. Swooping in at the year’s end is, of course, Timothée Chalamet and his saucy Tom Ford Wonka turns; and lest we forget, A$AP Rocky’s Bottega Veneta campaign and Pedro Pascal’s legs at the Met Gala. High fashion runway look wearing men are our Roman empire. No, you’re leering. Source link

The truth of living as a polyamorous throuple: ‘Yes, we do all share a bed’

I’ve always known I was queer, on some level (though, like a lot of queer people I’d managed to do a scarily good job of hiding it, even from myself) and so we decided to dip our toe into opening up the relationship. We chatted about what this might look like for us. At the time, we agreed that this was something we wanted to explore together, and a threesome with another woman felt like the right thing (Paul is straight, I’m queer, so this was a relative no-brainer). At that time, we weren’t looking for anything serious. In fact, at that time, if you’d asked me if I thought throuples could work out long term, I’d probably have said no. Back then, I believed a lot of the misconceptions that people confront me with today. I thought that monogamy was the only real option because I’d never ex...

Best passive-aggressive gifts for Christmas: what to buy to send someone a message

Gifts are rarely just gifts, they’re weighted with myriad meanings, expressions of the relationship between the giver and receiver. Of course, it’s perfectly possible that the exchange is about giving something nice and thoughtful that makes them happy, but more often, and particularly at Christmas, it’s about dominance, manipulation, and outright sadism. The giver has assessed the receiver, judged what they sorely lack in life, and then aims to plug that gaping wound with a badly wrapped trinket. Source link
