The ultimate social media flex in the winter months? Posting a picture of an ice-cold margarita or glass of champagne held up to a liquid orange sunset used to do the trick. But not any more. A shot of green juice or a cup of miso soup grasped after a morning Pilates session is the ultimate sign that you’re doing the cold season right. And the hottest destination for a reboot right now is SHA Mexico in Cancún. The city on the Yucatan Peninsula has long been known for its party credentials, but it’s getting an image overhaul thanks to the opening of the second outpost from celebrity-loved health retreat SHA Wellness. It threw open its doors last summer — and has already emerged as the place for those vying to get that winter glow from within.SHA SpainMany A-listers have made their way to th...

In the depths of London winter, when the grey drizzle and chill is endless, it’s hard to feel fond of our city. Australia, with its warmer climate, higher wages, and no language barrier for English speakers may be far away, but it exerts a strong pull. There are over 46,000 Brits living in Australia on temporary visas as of December 2024, up from just 3,600 in December 2021. But is the sunny, beach-based life all it’s cracked up to be? Source link

I was in London, at the theatre, and we walked out at interval I turned my phone on, and was like ‘Oh, my God. What's going on?’ I've got 9000 texts, my husband has 10,000 emails. What happened? Mrs. Obama had unveiled her first official portrait, and she was wearing Michael Kors. We had no idea. I had made the dress, but didn't really know what it was for. For me, it wasn't just strictly the honour of dressing her for such an important moment, it was the fact that how she was dressed and who she was, was just a game changer. American First Ladies before that, for a portrait, wore colourful suits with pearls and a brooch. Now suddenly we had someone in a sleeveless black jersey dress with a toned arm and a very different attitude. That was definitely momentous. Source link

The 2020 show was most interesting — Shakira and JLo took to the stage, sporting an array of feather and crystal-adorned ensembles. Shakira opted for no less than five different custom outfits created for her by Peter Dundas, accompanied by a pair of $20,000 boots covered in Swarovski crystals. JLo meanwhile stuck to a series of iridescent custom Versace looks, created for her by the brand's atelier in Milan. Source link

His followers aren’t exactly thrilled with this new pivot. In the comments of his post announcing a merch collaboration with Sean Combs, who is currently behind bars, one person has written: “We're not buying no ped*philes merch, you're alone on this one.” Under another recent post, a commenter asks: “What if North was the victim?” Source link

Downstairs at the hotel, minimalist spaces like the spa (and that Capri-stone lined pool), the bamboo-floored yoga studio, the boot room and children’s play area (filled with arcade games and toys galore) are a draw for non-ski time. Pros reserve slots in the Japanese Iyashi Dôme — similar to a sauna, but instead you lay down for 30 minutes for a burst of infrared rays to target muscle recovery. It’s a game-changer. Take time for a cold plunge, a hot blast in the Turkish hammam, or simply a swim in the pool. Source link

From messing about on boats, to where serves the best posh fish and chips, here’s how to make the most of a staycation in the British Riviera hotspot.What’s your favourite destination and why?Salcombe in Devon. It was first introduced to me by my wife who used to holiday down there as a child. Before I’d been completely oblivious to it. She suggested it about 10 years ago, so we threw everything in the car and drove, and I fell in love with it instantly.
Some people call it Chelsea on Sea, but when the weather is amazing down there it’s like the English Riviera. We try to go every year for a couple of weeks to recharge. It’s a place I feel so connected to. With the hectic life of an actor in London and everything else going on, I get there and I feel instantly more relaxed and chilled. It’...

A perfume needs to hit certain key notes to be sexy. First, it should contain the promise of a good night out with someone intriguing — a blend of heady food and booze notes. “Think big-shouldered amber perfumes laced with tobacco, leather notes, ribbons of vanilla,” says da Costa. Next: skin, the first frontier of being closer to someone physically. “Modern musks that aren’t too clean or soft but rather lean into the dirtier, naughtier side of the scent are brilliant on skin, and warm it up, making it more sensual, more tempting,” she says.
