Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco For Asian Heritage Month, beauty and culture commentator Meera Solanki Estrada discusses overcoming beauty standards and the power of representation. By Meera Solanki Estrada Date May 13, 2022 As an on-air culture commentator, I often get to watch films and TV shows before they’re released to the public. Admittedly, I’m a little choosy with what I spend my time watching. But when a preview for season two of Netflix’s Bridgerton became available, I cleared my schedule and binged all eight episodes in two days flat. I had seen the trailer and posters and was eager to…

Credit: Alessandro Ghidoni Historic graffiti of ships carved in an African fort were drawn by soldiers on guard duty watching the sea, University of Exeter experts believe. The engravings, found in Tanzania’s Zanzibar archipelago and made in the mid to late nineteenth century, open a window onto the ships that sailed on the western Indian Ocean at the time. They were made when the area was the southern terminus of a trans-oceanic trade network that used the monsoon winds. Vessels anchored, beached and unloaded their…

The Neolithic workers who helped build the famous Stonehenge monument also left fossilized “poop balls” littered with parasitic worm eggs. (Image credit: Shutterstock)In addition to a Neolithic monument, the builders of Stonehenge left behind something a little less celebratory: fossilized clumps of poop. A new analysis of these so-called coprolites suggests that during epic winter feasts, the ancient workers and their dogs ate undercooked meat littered with the eggs of parasitic worms. The team of researchers uncovered the fossilized “poop balls” in a refuse heap at Durrington Walls — a Neolithic settlement situated around 1.7 miles (2.8 kilometers) from Stonehenge. Experts…
Unlike some bargain wicks, which, when they burn smell like someone has sprayed an entire can of orchid Febreze, the scent of expensive candles is subtler but no less potent. Instead of choking the air, it floats on it. I also find that, with the recommended care and maintenance, that expensive candles last significantly longer, too. The premium products used to create the wax are designed to be longer-lasting than more affordable blends, and while I have my high-street favourites, I buy them knowing they won’t, um, hold a candle, many of the high-end options I’ve tried. I don’t fully subscribe…

What causes hair to get oily? It’s simple: The more you work out/move, the more oil you’ll produce on your scalp. “Like our skin, our scalp naturally produces oil at varying degrees depending on the person. Diet and lifestyle factors can play a part. Those who exercise, or whose body temperatures run higher, tend to produce more oil on their scalp,” Tom Smith, creative director of Evo, tells ELLE.com. “When a scalp produces oil, it moves down the hair shaft creating a noticeable oily look to the hair. The less porous the hair is, the more noticeable the oil can…

Our species faces a pivotal moment in human history. Either we develop the technology to safely harness the energy needed to escape our planet, or we kill ourselves in some great cataclysm, a stark new study claims. But, the new paper argues, if we can achieve the former and avoid the latter, then we might just become a truly interplanetary species in as little as 200 years.”The Earth is a tiny dot surrounded by darkness,” study lead author Jonathan Jiang, of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Live Science. “Our current understanding of physics tells us that we are trapped on this…
It’s rare that a single accessory can remain a trending piece for many months but if any brand can do it, it’s of course Celine. Once again Celine has given us an accessory that has been trending for months.

The style in question is very classic in lots of ways, featuring an oval shape and hard-wearing acetate finish.
