Deep crow’s feet, frown lines criss-crossing my forehead, a horribly creased top lip line, crinkled neck and lifeless pallid skin. Sixty-six? My reflection in the mirror, as I contemplated what to pack for my big summer holiday, looked more like 166.
But perhaps that’s no surprise when, after 27 years of indulging in ‘tweakments’ to keep my face looking its best, I’d neglected them entirely for almost 18 months. I’d had such high hopes for 2024, promising myself more ‘me’
We are increasingly told that weight loss can be accomplished with a simple injection. Last week it was revealed that sales of drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy are expected to hit an astonishing £210 billion ($153 billion USD) globally by the 2030s.
It’s all a far cry, of course, from the joyless, restrictive diets of the past that our mothers and grandmothers followed in order to be slim.
One such diet being the original WeightWatchers. It’s fair to say
Few car brands come from absolutely nowhere to generating huge headlines in just a handful of years. But then again, few new vehicle makers are owned by a football club owning, British petrochemical billionaire.
Ineos Automotive, spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has already launched the Grenadier 4×4 and now has launched a pick-up version.
We’ve been among the first people to drive the new Quartermaster Trailmaster diesel both on and off-road in Italy to see if it is the relentless
Web directories, once tools for discovering websites in the early days of the Internet, have evolved over the past two decades.
While the rise of Google led many to assume that web directories would become obsolete, plenty of these online catalogs have adapted to remain relevant.
This article examines the current state of web directories and explores their value for websites and businesses across various industries.
You’ll find an overview of 20 web directories that continue to attract traffic and
So much of how we live and interact with the world happens online. From engaging with people professionally and personally, to posting photos, storing files and accessing our bank account information, this all represents what’s known as our “digital legacy.”
What happens to all of this after we pass away? Unlike physical items that we may pass on after we die, such as photos, jewelry, an heirloom, a home, an inheritance, etc., how to handle your digital estate is a
What makes a great beach is highly subjective. For some it’s all about the quality of the sand: the finer and whiter the better. Others may just seek peace, quiet and seclusion.
Or you may be in search of a perfect little rum shack or beach cafe by tumbling dunes — a rustic retreat.
We’ve asked the world’s travel experts and industry insiders for their all-time favourites — and how best to enjoy them.

Picture him, just 9 years old, walking the streets of San Francisco each morning, dropping off his younger sister at school, then hustling back home to take care of his baby brother. His chair in Mr. Klaus’ third-grade class sits empty, sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks.
Picture him, summoning the courage to write a letter to the man he kept hearing about — “You run just like your pops!” they’d tell him on the football field — but rarely

They all said I was mad, particularly my friend Tomasz, who advises me on all my home improvements. ‘A heat-pump, Sue — you of all people?’ when I ventured the idea to him.
He had a point. I hate being told what to do by the over-reaching nanny state — which never misses an opportunity to bully us into going green.
But the email I had received from an energy company back in March contained a proposal that seemed too
In my dreams, Google begs me to come back. Human resources tells me that they have the perfect software-engineering role and that I alone can do it. Even though it’s been three years since I quit—frustrated by sexual harassment, an excruciating HR investigation, and being discouraged from applying for a promotion, which led to a reduction in pay—I always accept their offer, flooded with joy and relief.
