Probably 2-in-1 shampoo was the first beauty product that offered to save you a step, and for a while it was everywhere: in every gym bag, in every travel kit, on every bathroom shelf that didn’t have room for two bottles. BB cream did something similar for the face a while later, folding moisturiser, coverage and a bit of sun protection into a single tube. With time, those two became the shorthand for what a multitasking product could do, but the list is a good deal longer now. Blushes that...

This is the 101st instalment in a series on dementia, including the research into its causes and treatment, advice for carers, and stories of hope. My mother and I often walked together during the time I cared for her, around the garden or in the fields beyond it. Sometimes she resisted, complaining she was too tired or inventing some small ailment as an excuse not to get up and get out (“My legs are sore”). But once outside she always responded, and she always returned to the house in a better...

When I think about the future of tourism in Jamaica, I think beyond the next booking, the next hotel opening or the next busy season. I think about the country we are building through the decisions we make today. Will our communities become stronger? Will our natural surroundings remain beautiful? Will young Jamaicans have a meaningful opportunity to own, lead and prosper within the industry?

This is easily the best pill organizer I’ve owned. View Entire Post ›

Water is the one part of a shower nobody thought to question. You research the shampoo, read the ingredient list on the back of the shower gel, and then you rinse all of it off with whatever comes out of the tap. Except that the water is doing something too – even if just what hasn’t been given a name. There’s a good chance you experienced the effects of hard water before you ever heard the term. You know it as the chalky ring that reappears on your shower screen days after you scrubbed it off,...

When her left shoulder began to ache shortly before she turned 50, my sister Carol Wilson ignored the pain and put it down to a poor-quality mattress. She hoped the situation would resolve when she moved house in the UK – and got a new bed.

He prescribed physiotherapy, which didn’t help her much,...

The tourists often wanted to meet the farmers, have lunch in their...

Sometimes, through no fault of their own, good films slip through the cracks. They fall out of fashion, are misunderstood by critics or are poorly distributed, and it can take the passage of time – or a miracle – to bring them back into the light. So it is with Nancy Kelly’s 1991 period piece Thousand Pieces of Gold, adapted from Ruthanne Lum McCunn’s 1981 novel and starring Rosalind Chao from The Joy Luck Club. The film is a sincere, authentic-feeling drama based on the incredible true story of...
