Just Stop Oil announced they would be stopping direct action after the government announced it would not be issuing licences for oil and gas explorations. This means no more soup thrown at paintings, no more sitting on motorways, and no more orange powder thrown across everything from Stonehenge to snooker tables. But anyone who thought all of that was over would be wrong, as another activist group appears to be taking up the mantle already.Youth Demand is a resistance campaign led by young people which is run by the same organisation as Just Stop Oil, called Umbrella. According to Umbrella, Youth Demand’s focus is on “making The Labour Party’s f***ery clear by exposing their complicity in genocide: the Palestinian genocide and the global genocide from burning fossil fuels.” The group was ...

Ask any skincare expert about the ingredients they rate, and retinol will invariably come up. Yes, it’s sometimes a bit irritating while skin is acclimatising, and yes, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skin health – but few ingredients are as thoroughly tested or as heavily endorsed as retinol, for good reason; it gets results, often in the form of plumper, smoother skin.As one of its most vocal champions, Caroline Hirons’ approach to retinol in her own range has been a godsend for those who find choosing one baffling. Here, she explains everything you need to know about using a retinol to demystify skincare’s most talked about ingredient.How does retinol impact the skin?“The retinoid family, also known as vitamin A, is the gold standard ingredient for improving the appearanc...

After 23 years as a GP, Chatterjee stopped practising last year to focus on teaching and advocacy. He’s written several bestsellers, including Happy Mind, Happy Life, and taken up a role as visiting professor of health education and communication at Chester Medical School. “So much of modern medicine is about deprivation,” he says. “What should we eat less of, or do less of …” His outlook is more positive: medicine can, and should, be about abundance. Identify the things you do that help you thrive, he suggests (exercise, say, or spending time with friends) and do them more often. There is a direct link, he reminds me, between happiness and longevity: those who thrive for longer live longer, too. Source link

Off the coast, there’s Prison Island to visit, also known as Changuu. Located about 30 minutes by boat from Stone Town, it used to be a quarantine station for people visiting Zanzibar. A prison did follow, in 1893, and while a look around its ruins is definitely worth it, the true draw is the chance to see tortoises, and the shy Duiker: a type of tiny antelope. There are no public ferries here, but tours can usually be arranged through your hotel. Source link

Speaking to Teen Vogue, Nivola said: “I'm so in love, and she's so amazing. I think the thing about moving in with someone is that when you're this young, it's always like, ‘Oh my God, you're going to get sick of them.’ You're going to spend all day, every day together, and then it's going to be routine, and you're going to feel like you've been in a marriage for 30 years. I don't think that would happen with her anyway, just because we're so in love.” Source link

Mother’s day, that annual festival of flowers, fond feelings and thinly disguised commercialism. Yes, we are all quite clear that this is a holiday designed to extract our hard-earned cash, but look, there's everything right about celebrating her and all that that she does for you and the family. Correct? Even if you disapprove of the day entirely, there are few better ways to get any Sunday off to a good start than an excellent present. Plus, a last minute dash for petrol station flowers or a corner shop card, is impossible to disguise as anything but “I forgot and panicked.”Bella Freud Ceramic Diffuser £155.00It’s not cheap, but it is a fabulous objet with may be refilled or repurposed for months and years to come.
