Fashion is a hot issue and clothing of various types are on the rise. As with any minority peoples, there is also the creolization of the native tongues upon the merging of different cultures. Rushdie describes how he and his siblings were able to cleverly amalgamate their native tongue and the language and meanings of the dominant culture to describe the adults they encountered. As a result, they came up with cute names to fit the characters of these persons. The other male tenants in his father’s building he conveniently referred to as Maharaja P and Maharaja B. In Hindi, Maharaja means prince.” Because Rushdie referred to them as princes, one would immediately assume that these were unmarried men of means. Just so happens, Maharaja P was a sporting man” of some royal lineage and Maharaja B was a businessman of questionable character. He nicknamed his nanny Certainly-Mary” because of … Read the rest

On the eve of Joe Biden’s inauguration, Biden and incoming vice president Kamala Harris attended a ceremony to honor COVID-19 victims. They were joined by their spouses at the Lincoln Memorial, where 400 lights illuminated around the reflecting pool to represent the 400,000 Americans who have died from the virus. As Kamala delivered a speech paying tribute to the lives lost and calling for the nation to begin healing together, she wore a Pyer Moss coat that also held significance.
When hospitals were experiencing a dire shortage of PPE at the beginning of the pandemic, Kerby Jean-Raymond, the Haitian-American designer and founder behind fashion label Pyer Moss, quickly converted his New York office into a donation center and donated $5,000 to purchase masks and gloves. The designer also set aside $50,000 for minority and women-owned small creative businesses that were distressed by COVID-19. The vice president-elect’s purposeful decision to … Read the rest

Una guida dedicata alle tendenze Primavera Estate 2021 delle amate scarpe open toe
Adorate da Carrie Bradshaw di Sex and the City, le scarpe open toe sono ormai un grande classico del nostro guardaroba. Pur essendo caratterizzate da un'apertura sulla punta, ormai non conoscono stagioni e possono essere indossate anche in inverno con calze o collant. A metà tra una décolleté e un sandalo, le scarpe open toe sono molto versatili e perfetti per ogni stile.
Anche Victoria Beckham ha una passione per questo modello, e per il suo brand le ha realizzate in versione boots.

Senza dubbio, le scarpe open toe più diffuse sono quelle con tacco o con plateau, ma sono disponibili anche in versione flat e quindi super comoda. Questa stagione a trionfare sono gli ankle boots con allacciatura, e sono tante

Between the emergence of “maskne” (a word we’d never heard of a year ago but is now a part of our daily vocabulary) and more time spent in front of screens than ever before, not to mention the sleepless nights spent doom-scrolling, you may have noticed some skin dullness and puffiness that wasn’t there before. And while endless hours staring at our own faces on Zoom has resulted in an uptick in cosmetic procedures to address newfound imperfections, not everyone wants to go that route. Enter: face yoga and facial massage.
Launched in 2016 in the UK, “gym for your face” studio FaceGym made its North American debut in 2018, and currently has studio locations in Manchester, London, New York and Los Angeles. The premise of the facial (that’s way more than a facial) is to provide your face — and the 40+ muscles that exist from the … Read the rest
Disintossicarsi e dimagrire, con l'aiuto di tisane e bevande botaniche, è possibile?
Erbe e botaniche spesso sono citate in diverse diete detox come alleate per sbarazzarsi di gonfiore e ritenzione idrica, nonché eliminare le tossine e di conseguenza perdere qualche centimetro. Però, per avere la certezza che una particolare sostanza depuri con altrettanti effetti sull'organismo, ci dovrebbe essere un riscontro scientifico (come ricorda in questa intervista il Medico Chirurgo Sofia Bronzato) ma, al momento, non esistono dati e studi che confermano l'efficacia che il consumo abitudinario di tisane aiuta a depurare il fisico. Erbe o radici non fanno miracoli. Il rito del prepararsi l'infuso, però, è un validissimo aiuto per idratare il corpo, soprattutto in inverno. E questo vale anche per i tè cinesi come il pu-erh, l'oolong, il tè verde ( incluso il Matcha ) e il tè bianco.
Le tisane sono ottime alleate del funzionamento
