That Time a Racing Legend Endorsed Healing Crystals for Cars
The modern wellness industry has spawned countless online influencers and personalities eager to hawk supposed cures and lifestyle tweaks to millions of fans. But even before the dawn of Instagram, kale smoothies, and chakra cleanses, it was still treacherous for any public figure to hitch their wagon to less-than-scientific methodologies. Case in point: Australian racing legend Peter Brock. For one of Australia’s biggest names in racing, the decision to go full New Age in the late 1980s proved so costly that it not only ended his longtime business partnership with the country’s largest automaker, it almost very nearly killed his motorsports career. But for a brief moment before the wheels came off, Holden performance honcho and multi-time touring car champion Brock had some cr...
Lotus Exige, Evora, and Elise Die, But New Sports Cars Will Rise From Their Ashes
The first of Lotus’s three new sports cars will be called the Type 131, and production will begin by the end of this year at the automaker’s new production plant in Hethel, Norfolk. We all likely remember what happened at the 2010 Paris motor show, which makes skepticism toward this latest news understandable. As a refresher: six new models were promised, and not one came to fruition. The situation Lotus is in now, however, is markedly different from the Dany Bahar-era debacle and flubbed timelines. Lotus’s parent company, Geely, recently poured more than $137 million into the new Hethel production facility. That will create some 250 new jobs on top of the 670 people Lotus has already hired since 2017 (when Geely took over). In other words, Lotus already has the cash, fac...

Every Item I Love In 2021 Comes In This Jolly Colour
We are only 25 days into 2021, but I can already say with certainty that pink will be the colour of the year. The spring summer 2021 collections were vast and varied, but designers from all cities were united in what they were aiming to achieve with the clothes they created for spring 2021. They wanted to remind us that clothes can be a source of joy, and so there was an overarching feeling of optimism. The easiest way to promote a positive outlook with clothing is via colour, and although there were a rainbow of punchy brights used for SS21, the most popular colour of all was pink. Designers from major houses such as Valentino and buzzy cult brands like Molly Goddard used a pink palette of watermelons, fuchsias and hot pinks. One of the most iconic looks of the season was Valentino’...
16 Beauty Products We’re Saying Bye to in 2021 and What’s Replacing Them
Well, team, we’ve officially made it to 2021. Congrats all around! To be standing here, on the other side of the hardest year ever, is an accomplishment worth celebrating. Although the challenges of yesteryear trolled the hell out of us, they also taught us a ton of new skills to keep in our beauty arsenals. Maskne? We know how to handle her. Overgrown roots? Not for long. But one of the biggest lessons we learned is that a lot of products we’ve been using don’t deserve to accompany us into the New Year. Harsh but true. While we’re not totally out of the woods with all of the craziness we faced last year, we’re certainly moving in the right direction toward a much more peaceful new normal. As such, purging our beauty routines of any dead weight is a must. Than...
This Is the Secret Place Editors Go to Shop for Cult Items
It’s hard to deny that shopping these days can appear a little overwhelming. With IRL browsing off limits due to the current climate, we’re all having to go 100% digital, but with so many online stores out there it can be hard to know where to start. Of course, we all have our go-tos whose ‘new in’ sections are becoming more familiar than our own family members’ faces, but without the physical act of strolling down the high street, or past your local independent stores, it’s a lot harder to come across those great deals or new names you might have once just stumbled across. On top of that, the hours of screen-staring and searching can’t possibly be good for us. Enter Lyst. Yes that’s, L-Y-S-T. If you haven’t already heard of it, it’s coined itself ‘the definitive shopping platform’, and th...

Porn Star Purchases $4 Million Castle Avicii Used to Produce His Final Album
Mia Malkova has purchased a piece of electronic dance music history. The AVN Award-winning porn superstar recently forked up $4 million for the massive Oregon castle that Avicii rented to produce Tim, the album that would ultimately prove to be the legendary artist’s last. According to Realtor.com, Avicii and his entourage stayed at the castle for seven weeks in 2018, when the iconic “Levels” producer wrote and recorded his posthumous album in the home’s cavernous library. The two-floor library is quite the location to create music, with a fireplace encrusted in crowned amethyst—a precious purple gemstone—and a ceiling affixed with a giant clock inside a compass.

I Scrolled Through Next’s Spring 2021 Collection—Here’s What I’d Recommend
We’ve got to that time of year when the spring collections are finally starting to roll in. It might not be the thing at the forefront of our minds (for obvious reasons), but there’s something about the entry of cotton dresses and light jackets that fills us with a tiny bit of hope, even if it’s just for the promise of warmer temperatures and longer days. Well, for what it’s worth, the spring collections aren’t looking too shabby, and we’re here to help you navigate the maze of new season fashion. This week we’ve focused our spotlight on British high street institution, Next. It might not be known for the most cutting edge of designs, but it’s a consistent failsafe for affordable wardrobe heroes that look great, whether youR...
My Mum Is 73 and Loves Expensive Skincare—Here’s Her Review of The Ordinary
“The Ordinary is an evolving collection of treatments offering familiar, effective clinical technologies positioned to raise pricing and communication integrity in skincare,” the brand states on its website. “It was created to celebrate integrity in its most humble and true form. Its offering is pioneering, not in the familiar technologies it uses, but in its honesty and integrity. The Ordinary is born to disallow commodity to be disguised as ingenuity. The Ordinary is ‘Clinical formulations with integrity.”‘ So when we were discussing the brand and five of its top-selling formulas during a recent editorial meeting, I couldn’t help wondering what my 73-year-old mum would think. Even though she loves a good bargain and does swear...
