\nSix things to consider when personalising jewellery
\nWhen it comes to personalising your jewellery, Sarah Rowlands of Pandora UK reveals tips to capture the perfect sentiment for your loved one.<\/p>\n

Meaningful symbols or initials<\/strong>
\n\u201cOpt for symbols or initials that hold personal significance for the recipient. Whether it’s a loved one’s initials, a meaningful date, or a symbol that represents a shared memory, these choices add sentimental value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consider their style<\/strong>
\n\u201cTake into account the recipient’s fashion preferences and lifestyle when choosing the design. If they prefer minimalistic styles, go for subtle engravings; if they love bold statements, consider larger and more intricate designs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Engrave a message<\/strong>
\n\u201cConsider engraving a short message or a significant quote. A few well-chosen words can turn a piece of jewellery into a cherished memento, making it more than just an accessory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coordinate with other pieces<\/strong>
\n\u201cIf the recipient already has a jewellery collection, choose engravings that complement or complete their existing pieces. This ensures a cohesive and curated look with thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Size and placement<\/strong>
\n\u201cPay attention to the size of the jewellery and the available space for engraving. Ensure that the chosen personalisation fits well and is appropriately placed on the piece for visual appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surprise element<\/strong>
\n\u201cIf possible, keep the personalisation a surprise. Unwrapping a piece of jewellery with a thoughtful engraving adds an extra element of surprise and delight during the holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clear For Men: The *brand new* mental health-inspired male skincare brand encouraging men to #TakeFive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clear For Men is the exciting new skincare brand helping to break down the stigma around male mental health. With a strong focus on celebrating the value of self-care for men through a daily skincare regime, Clear For Men is dedicated to changing the narrative around well-being. Clear For Men\u2019s 22-year-old founder and CEO, Louis Watkins, was inspired to set up a skincare brand with a difference after suffering with his mental health during the pandemic lockdowns.<\/p>\n

A long-time skincare devotee, Louis found comfort and calm through his daily skincare routine. This opportunity to focus solely on himself and having dedicated time to unwind helped to ease his anxiety and gave him a deep understanding of how important it is to prioritise self-care.<\/p>\n

Combining premium, effective and cruelty-free men\u2019s skincare, with a powerful message of \u201cit\u2019s okay not to be okay\u201d, Clear For Men prides itself on providing a holistic approach to well-being.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the brand is its encouragement to \u2018Take Five\u2019, inspiring men to take five minutes out of their day to focus on their mental well-being \u2013 whether that\u2019s talking about how they are feeling, getting active, practising kindness or indulging in a daily skincare ritual.<\/p>\n

A sense of community runs through every aspect of Clear For Men.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clear For Men\u2019s Five Fundamentals of Self-care<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Connect<\/strong> – Clear For Men believes that opening up and connecting with others around you is vital for your mental well-being.<\/p>\n

2. Move<\/strong> – Whether it\u2019s a walk with friends or an intense workout, the more we move and stay active, the greater we feel on the inside and out.<\/p>\n

3. Be Present<\/strong> – \u2018Take Five\u2019 out of your daily grind and reflect on what really matters \u2013 your wellbeing. Creating a daily skincare routine will give you a reason to pause and reflect.<\/p>\n

4. Expand & Grow<\/strong> – Start that new book. Learn that new skill. Push your boundaries and ride that wave of self-accomplishment. You\u2019ve got this.<\/p>\n

5. Practice Kindness<\/strong> – A small deed goes a long way. Taking time out of your day to do something for someone else will ultimately make you feel good. It\u2019s a win, win.<\/p>\n

The Clear For Men Invigorating Facial Cleanser, \u00a319.99, is the result of months of intensive research and testing. Packed with skin-loving ingredients like Niacinamide, a nature-identical vitamin B3 which helps to improve the skin\u2019s barrier function and keeps the skin feeling smooth, and nourishing Argan Oil, rich in vitamin E, linoleic acid and natural tocopherols which impart anti-free radical properties whilst helping to protect and restore skin, it’s a hard-working formula that\u2019s gentle enough to be used every day.
\nPerfect for normal to combination skin, this 100% paraben, silicone and sulphate free vegan cleanser is a game-changing product at an affordable price point.<\/p>\n

A Mum-Friendly Christmas<\/h3>\n

Christmas is a time for gift-giving and a little overindulgence. Caught up in the whirlwind of buying presents for everyone including the dog, it comes as no surprise that the UK is a nation of frivolous gifters. In fact, the UK produces over 688,000 tonnes of Christmas waste every year.<\/p>\n

A large percentage of holiday waste making its way to landfill are the 23 million unwanted gifts received each year and many of these gifts are bought for young children and babies. The UK spends a lot of money on children\u2019s gifts that will eventually fall to the bottom of the toy box, lay forgotten under the bed or end up in landfill where they damage the planet.<\/p>\n

Becoming a parent is life changing and many parents become more aware of the world in which they live and that the choices they make have a far greater impact on their baby\u2019s future than their own. The first Christmas with baby is extra special and a great time to re-evaluate present buying habits and become a more intentional gifter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While it is very tempting to splash out on all things cute and fluffy for the new little one, the person appreciating the gifts is actually Mum. The best gifts a mum can receive are the ones that are practical and make her life a little easier like a few extra baby grows, nappies and biodegradable baby wipes.
\n\u201cWhen I had my baby, the gifts that meant the most were the practical ones,\u201d says Rachel Porter, mum of 3 and Lead Digital Marketing Manager for Mum & You. \u201cCute baby clothes and toys are lovely but in all likelihood they end up on the ever-growing pile of baby \u201cstuff.\u201d I soon felt overrun by gifts and trinkets for my baby so receiving a gift I could use and help me save some money was especially appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Here are five stocking filler ideas that are kinder to the planet and also make a real difference to mums:<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Organic cotton cloths and muslins – a mum can never have too many<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Biodegradable wet wipes – Mum will get through around 36,000 baby wipes over 4 years and many of these are not biodegradable, taking up to 100 years to break down<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Handknitted baby mittens or booties<\/li>\n
  5. Nappies – not glamourous but always gratefully received!<\/li>\n
  6. A 1st Christmas handmade tree decoration – something to treasure forever<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cThe first Christmas with a new baby is an exciting and special time,\u201d says Rajiv Chandra, Mum & You CEO. \u201cIt is also the time when a baby is showered with gifts of clothes and toys, many of which are duplicated or quickly outgrown. Speaking to our forum of mums, the vast majority appreciate gifts that are useful and don\u2019t add to the overwhelming baby \u201cclutter\u201d or have a negative impact on the environment.\u201d
    \nMum & You 100% Biodegradable Eco-Friendly Baby Wipes have been developed to look after baby\u2019s delicate skin and the world they live in. They are made from sustainably sourced, naturally derived viscose from the most abundant and renewable wood fibre on Earth. Gentle and kind on baby\u2019s skin, they contain 99.4% water and every ingredient is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. They are 100% plastic-free too.
    \nMum & You eco-friendly baby wipes \u2013 wipes that don\u2019t wipe out the planet!<\/p>\n

    Clear For Men: The *brand new* mental health-inspired male skincare brand encouraging men to #TakeFive<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Clear For Men is the exciting new skincare brand helping to break down the stigma around male mental health. With a strong focus on celebrating the value of self-care for men through a daily skincare regime, Clear For Men is dedicated to changing the narrative around well-being. Clear For Men\u2019s 22-year-old founder and CEO, Louis Watkins, was inspired to set up a skincare brand with a difference after suffering with his mental health during the pandemic lockdowns.<\/p>\n

    A long-time skincare devotee, Louis found comfort and calm through his daily skincare routine. This opportunity to focus solely on himself and having dedicated time to unwind helped to ease his anxiety and gave him a deep understanding of how important it is to prioritise self-care.<\/p>\n

    Combining premium, effective and cruelty-free men\u2019s skincare, with a powerful message of \u201cit\u2019s okay not to be okay\u201d, Clear For Men prides itself on providing a holistic approach to well-being.<\/p>\n

    At the heart of the brand is its encouragement to \u2018Take Five\u2019, inspiring men to take five minutes out of their day to focus on their mental well-being \u2013 whether that\u2019s talking about how they are feeling, getting active, practising kindness or indulging in a daily skincare ritual.<\/p>\n

    A sense of community runs through every aspect of Clear For Men.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Clear For Men\u2019s Five Fundamentals of Self-care<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Connect<\/strong> – Clear For Men believes that opening up and connecting with others around you is vital for your mental well-being.<\/p>\n

    2. Move<\/strong> – Whether it\u2019s a walk with friends or an intense workout, the more we move and stay active, the greater we feel on the inside and out.<\/p>\n

    3. Be Present<\/strong> – \u2018Take Five\u2019 out of your daily grind and reflect on what really matters \u2013 your wellbeing. Creating a daily skincare routine will give you a reason to pause and reflect.<\/p>\n

    4. Expand & Grow<\/strong> – Start that new book. Learn that new skill. Push your boundaries and ride that wave of self-accomplishment. You\u2019ve got this.<\/p>\n

    5. Practice Kindness<\/strong> – A small deed goes a long way. Taking time out of your day to do something for someone else will ultimately make you feel good. It\u2019s a win, win.<\/p>\n

    The Clear For Men Invigorating Facial Cleanser, \u00a319.99, is the result of months of intensive research and testing. Packed with skin-loving ingredients like Niacinamide, a nature-identical vitamin B3 which helps to improve the skin\u2019s barrier function and keeps the skin feeling smooth, and nourishing Argan Oil, rich in vitamin E, linoleic acid and natural tocopherols which impart anti-free radical properties whilst helping to protect and restore skin, it’s a hard-working formula that\u2019s gentle enough to be used every day.
    \nPerfect for normal to combination skin, this 100% paraben, silicone and sulphate free vegan cleanser is a game-changing product at an affordable price point.<\/p>\n

    Available as a one-time purchase for \u00a319.99, or as a rolling subscription for just \u00a316.99, 1.5% of the sale of each Invigorating Facial Cleanser goes to support the charity Mind, via Work For Good.<\/p>\n

    Results-driven skincare with heart; Clear For Men is getting the conversation going around male mental health. Are you ready to #TakeFive?<\/p>\n

    The end-time may be looming, but Bible scholar David S. Heeren has a message of encouragement for your audience: \u201cThe end of this age is going to be greater than the beginning.\u201d His powerful book “The Coming” is an allegorical depiction of the apocalypse that concludes with a vivid description of the end of the world, with the overarching lesson that eternal rewards far exceed present pains (Mat. 5:10-12).<\/p>\n

    \nDrain the mandarin segments, reserving the juice. Sprinkle the brandy, sherry or 2 tablespoons of mandarin juice over the sponge fingers and scatter the segments over the top.
    \nCut up the jelly cubes and pop into a heatproof jug. Add 285ml boiling water and stir until dissolved. Mix together the remaining mandarin juice and enough cold water to make 285ml, stir into the jelly and leave to cool. When cooled, carefully pour the jelly over the mandarin segments and refrigerate until set.
    \nWhen the jelly is set, spread the custard carefully over the jelly. Whisk the can of extra thick cream until thickened and spoon onto the custard. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds just before serving.
    \nMeringue wreath with Christmas spiced apricots
    \nServes 6-8<\/p>\n

    Ingredients:
    \n1 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and liquid reserved
    \n125g caster sugar
    \n2 tbsp dark brown sugar
    \n\u00bd tsp mixed spice
    \n1 tsp cinnamon
    \n1 tsp vanilla extract
    \n2 x 400g can apricot halves, drained and juice reserved
    \n1 x 400g can coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
    \n1 heaped tbsp icing sugar<\/p>\n

    Method:
    \nPre-heat the oven to 120\u00b0C. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Using a plate or cake tin, draw a 28cm circle on the parchment (remember to turn it over or you may get pencil on your meringue).
    \nUsing a stand mixer whisk the chickpea liquid for approx 10 minutes until thick and forms soft peaks. 1 teaspoon at a time, add the caster sugar whisking between each addition. Then, continue whisking for 2 \u2013 3 minutes to ensure all the caster sugar is combined.
    \nUsing a large spoon, spoon the meringue onto the parchment in large blobs to make a wreath shape, using the pencil circle as a guide. Using the back of a spoon, make a dip in the top of each blob.
    \nBake for 2 – 2.5 hours until crisp, then turn off the oven and leave to cool with the oven door shut, for approx 1 hour. Remove from the oven and store in an airtight container (if not using straight away).
    \nPre-heat the oven to 200\u00b0C. In a large bowl mix together the brown sugar, spices and vanilla. Gently stir through the drained apricots to coat. Spoon the mixture onto a baking tray and roast for 12 \u2013 15 minutes until warmed through and the sugar has melted.
    \nOpen the coconut milk tins and pour off the clear liquid. Whisk the coconut cream until thick. Gently stir through the icing sugar. Add a little of the reserved apricot juice if the cream is too thick.
    \nTo serve, place the meringue wreath onto a large flat plate and top with the coconut cream and apricots. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon, if desired.
