Can you give us a bit of a background on your career and where it all started? I started my journey as a relationship coach and sex guru after realizing the significant gap in how people approach intimacy and personal connections. My passion for helping others find fulfillment in their love lives and my own experiences inspired me to dive into this field. Over the years, I’ve guided countless individuals and couples toward healthier, more satisfying relationships. It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m grateful for every step. Can you share your daily or weekly self-care rituals? Self-care is essential for maintaining balance, especially in my line of work. Daily, I prioritize meditation and journaling to center myself. I also make time for physical activity, whether yoga, a walk, or…

There’s a new Porsche 911 T in town, but this time the T does not denote Turbo but rather Porsche’s first T-hybrid system. In the annals of 911 history, this is about as significant a chapter as the evolution from air- to water-cooled, clumsy autos to rapid dual-clutch PDK gearboxes. It’s also one that we knew was inevitable, for better or for worse. Yet before we dive into the inner workings, we must also mention that not all of the new 992-series Porsches have gone hybrid. Still kicking about in the petrol-only club is the base Carrera which deploys the same 3.0-litre flat six twin turbo with a few mods that nudge the power upwards ever so slightly. Our focus lies on the 911 GTS T-hybrid, arguably the model to…

Can you tell us a bit about yourself? My name is Louisa and I am an Instagram model, photographer, YouTuber, blogger, and since June 2024 Twitch streamer. I started my career in 2019 and since that time I have done a lot of different projects in the social media world. Right now I have 5 million people following me on Instagram, which is very exciting for me. Originally I am from Ukraine, but since the war started in my country and my hometown was occupied by Russians I moved to Canada and now I’m going through an immigration process. The last few years were very stressful for me, full of anxiety and very disturbing thoughts. When I came to this life I had nothing, my family was very poor and…

Packing Your Gear! Being prepared for the unexpected is key to surviving and thriving in the outdoors. Here’s a deeper dive into the crucial items you should carry, along with the reasoning behind each. Hiking Backpack Your Portable Home Base • Comfort and Capacity: A good backpack is an investment in your comfort and safety. Look for one with adjustable suspension straps that distribute weight evenly across your hips and shoulders. Consider the volume (measured in liters) you’ll need based on the length of your trip and the amount of gear you plan to carry. • Ventilation and Hydration: Breathable materials like mesh on the back panel allow for airflow, preventing excessive sweating and discomfort. Choose a backpack with a built-in hydration sleeve or compatible attachment points for a hydration…

Hot hatches have slowly morphed and swollen into hot SUVs. There are still a few noteworthy ones however; Golf GTi, Hyundai I30N, Mercedes-AMG A45, Renault Megane Trophy and BMW’s M135i. Over the years, the BMW has undergone the most changes of the lot. The 3.0-liter engine was chucked in favor of a smaller, far less charismatic 2.0-liter and the rear-wheel drive system, which was one limited slip differential away from wagging the tail, was axed for a xDrive all-wheel drive system. Literally, everything that made the M135 unique was scooped out. Does the latest facelift have any chance of changing that? On paper, it doesn’t seem to be the case although vehicles sold in Europe will make 296hp while models sold in the U.S. will unlock the full 312hp. That’s…

The Herbal Renaissance With roots tracing back centuries, herbal medicine has experienced a modern resurgence, fuelled by an appetite for natural alternatives to conventional treatments. From ginkgo biloba to garlic extract, a variety of herbs have been touted for their potential to support cardiovascular health, promising everything from improved blood circulation to cholesterol reduction. Separating Signal from Noise Amidst the buzz surrounding herbal supplements, it’s essential to distinguish between evidence-based benefits and unfounded claims. While some herbs possess bioactive compounds with proven cardiovascular effects, others may lack robust scientific support or carry potential risks, particularly when taken in combination with medications or in excessive doses. Examining the Evidence Gleaning insights from clinical research, we explore the efficacy of select herbal supplements in vascular health maintenance. From hawthorn for heart health…

The 0-60mph race is rapidly going the way of the electric vehicle with even small city hatchbacks out-sprinting bona-fide supercars. The tables are turned however when it comes to top speed; here gearing plays a central role and EVs usually have one fixed ratio, versus the seven in say a Bugatti Veyron. All of which sounds like a tasty challenge for a start-up EV wanting to make a name for itself. Don’t get us wrong, records for EVs come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes not even forwards; take the Rimac Navera which last year set a record speed of 171.34…in reverse. Oh, and it also did 256mph when going forwards. Hands up if you remember the Aspark Owl? First revealed in 2018 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the…
