95 m. ago Playboy, fighter, golfer and wearer of a George Washington wig: Donald Trump’s best magazine covers

The US president has called his latest Time magazine cover ‘the worst of all time’. Our writer found some he may hate even more – and others pivotal to his riseIn a turn of events that may surprise some, Donald Trump expressed a few relatable insecurities this week. First he questioned the attractiveness of his beach body, then he blasted Time magazine for an unflattering cover photo. In fairness, he wasn’t wrong. He called the picture, taken from below, “the worst of all time”. People have focused on the wattle neck, the gossamer hair, the inside of his nostrils.The question he asked of the editorial decision was actually a pertinent one. “What are they doing, and why?” This is the kind of scrutiny that the press should attract, except that media literacy is dying a fast death – and that has a lot to do with Trump himself.

After the votes, senators are expected to leave Washington for the weekend, almost guaranteeing the shutdown lasts until at least Monday. Continue reading...

2 h. ago Neom’s Nicola Elliott and self care expert Rebecca Moore on the golden rules for self care

Self care has become a phrase so overused that these days it’s often delivered with a hint of irony. Brands have spent the last decade cashing in on and warping the concept of prioritising one’s own wellbeing and now, the phrase doesn’t seem to hold as much weight. So what does self care actually mean? And have we lost sight of the basic rules of looking after ourselves? Nicola Elliott, founder of wellness brand Neom and wellbeing practitioner and author Rebecca Moore discuss how self care helps to build resilience and how it can help us to function better and beat stress. With podcast host Emilie Lavinia, the two lay out the blueprint for modern self care.
