On a balmy summer evening at London’s Eventim Apollo, Celtic Throne lit up the stage with a spectacular fusion of music, dance, and storytelling that left families – especially young children – utterly enchanted. The high-energy production, delivered by a powerhouse cast of over 50 performers hailing from America with strong Irish roots, felt at times like a Disney musical reimagined through the lens of ancient Gaelic legend.

A staggering 42% of women in the UK admit to knowing “little to nothing” about the emotional and mental impact of menopause, according to a new report. This revelation arrives as over 15.5 million women navigate perimenopause or menopause nationwide – often in silence, isolation, and confusion. Against this backdrop, the launch of M-Club, a dedicated menopause health and wellness range, offers not just products but a vital community for women seeking confidence during this life stage. My own experience with their dry eye solutions underscores its potential impact.

There’s something about early June that calls for a wardrobe refresh, and every year around my birthday I answer that call with a pilgrimage to one of my favourite hidden gems: Outlet Shopping at The O2. It’s no longer just a place to catch a gig – The O2 has firmly established itself as a shopping experience destination with serious style credentials. And in 2025, it’s still delivering unbeatable bargains and an experience that’s part thrill, part therapy.
With over 60 high-end and high-street names under its distinctive dome, Outlet Shopping at The O2 promises up to 70% off RRP all year round. Think Adidas, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Next, Clarins, Nike, Superdry, Tommy Hilfiger, and the list goes on. For savvy shoppers (especially us mums), it’s like Christmas came early – with the added perk of four hours’ free parking when you spend just £35. And trust me, it’s very easy to reach that figure.

Gig review: Move over Glasto – Zach Bryan just made BST Hyde Park the festival of the Summer

While the world raves about Glastonbury and Rod Stewart’s epic show, there’s something distinctly magical – and wonderfully convenient – about British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park. This year’s festival, especially over the weekend of 28–29 June headlining Zach Bryan, was proof that London knows how to throw an epic party. Two days of music, sunshine, cowboy boots, and soulful Americana made for a spectacular showcase – and unlike Glasto, at the end of each day, we could head home, kick off our boots, and sleep in our own beds. No mud, no tents – just world-class performances and urban comfort.
