What is human connection? What is this term, so often thrown around, but seemingly intangible? It is so much easier to explain why we need it than what it is. From my conversations with digitally reared teens, I think knowing how to define human connection may be vital for Gen Z, who emerged as the

Likewise linen, our summer go-to, will look too casual for cocktails.

Finding the best mascara for sensitive eyes sounds like a highly specific ask for a makeup product that notoriously leadings people on never-ending searches. Just figuring out the best mascara in general can be tough, particularly if you want one that does it all: lengthening, volumising, and holding a curl — all while being easy

Aspartame has been listed as “possibly carcinogenic”, which means the evidence isn’t yet strong enough to say that it’s definitely carcinogenic. (Tobacco smoking, alcoholic beverages, and UV radiation have all been listed by the IARC in Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans, FYI). Is aspartame in Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Pepsi Max? Aspartame is a

Benny, the latter who, recently came out as

In summer, casual curls and beach waves are usually high on our beauty agendas.

Hair perfume may well be something you never thought you needed. We get it – doesn’t a normal perfume just do the same thing?! Well, no, actually. Most regular fragrances, if sprayed on your hairstyle, can be quite drying and damaging. However, hair mists are formulated to moisturise, reduce static and add shine, all while

There’s no denying the catastrophic impact Coronavirus has had on us all, but there have been some positive outcomes. Not least our heightened appreciation for friends and family – and overwhelming desire to see them in person.

Maternity nightwear is absolutely essential when you’re expecting – and we predict you’ll pretty much live in yours.
