Set in gently rolling terrain, in a patchwork of lavender, chamomile and alfalfa fields, lies Tata Harper’s quaint, storybook Vermont farm. It’s a place that inspires her and quite literally keeps her glowing, because it is here, on these fertile 1,200 acres of New England valley, that the poster girl for her own eponymous brand of luxury natural skincare and make-up products oversees a burgeoning business that has won over the world’s beauty bloggers and celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore and Kate Hudson. For the past ten years, the Colombia-born entrepreneur and mother of three has run all aspects of her home-grown organic skincare business from the dairy farm turned state-of-the-art facility.

The light he brings to us and the world is just incredible’ Proceeds from sales of the single will go to the Duke’s Invictus Games Foundation, which helps wounded, sick and injured service personnel. Belfast-born Susan, 60, was “honoured” to be one of the 12 choir members chosen to record the song, which music legend Jon originally…

As millions of children find their schools closed indefinitely, some of our most beloved stars are stepping up to make sure their education doesn’t suffer. BODY OF (SCHOOL)WORK Top of the class is fitness guru Joe Wicks – aka The Body Coach – who has seen his popularity skyrocket as he takes on the role of national PE teacher with daily 30-minute workouts aimed at children.

Making it a family affair, Sophie took to Instagram with a video – shot at their Bagshot Park home in Surrey by their daughter Lady Louise Windsor – encouraging fellow mums and dads not to feel alone as they adapt to their new roles. “For a lot of us, today is the start of living with change to our normal routines and daily lives, brought about by the necessary response to the coronavirus,” she says. “Many of you as parents and carers will be adjusting to what might become a lengthy period of looking after your children from home. “Some of…

The Cayman Islands STAY Perched on Grand Cayman’s coral-sand Seven Mile Beach – one of the most coveted in the Caribbean – Palm Heights (3) is in a league of its own. Dressed in a retro-cool palette of bright whites and sunshine yellows, it has a beach-house feel and a style-conscious crowd to match. The pool ( 2 ) – flanked by scallop-edged parasols, loungers strewn with striped towels and palms that sway in the breeze – leads on to the shore, and the eager-to-please staff take every whim in their stride. There are Latin dance classes and expert-led personal training sessions, and the impeccably designed suites, some with marble soaking tubs on the terrace and all with stunning sea views, are a dream to retreat to.

The Queen has often sought comfort in her beloved dogs, so it was fitting that when she left Buckingham Palace to go into self-isolation at Windsor Castle she was supported by one of her canine companions. Bidding farewell to the capital to protect herself from coronavirus, Her Majesty was last week pictured travelling by car with one of her devoted dorgis. The dachshund-corgi-mix breed are the last two members of the Queen’s 30-strong dog dynasty. Her current canines Candy and Vulcan will be the end of the line, as she stopped breeding dorgis in 2012 so they would not outlive her. The Pembroke Welsh corgi breed has been part of the British monarchy since the Queen’s father George VI (then the Duke of York) brought home the family’s first corgi,…

FELINE GROOVY – JUST LIKE EUGENIE It’s an animal experience fit for a Princess. The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent is offering two lucky winners the chance to be the first people to hand-feed their adorable snow leopard cubs, Koshi and Khumbu – and they have royal connections.

Entry costs £5, with proceeds going to the care of the cubs and to saving this rare species by donating 10% to the Snow Leopard Trust. The lottery will be drawn on 13 September 2020 at 4pm, to coincide with the sanctuary’s…

She has been home schooling her daughters for nearly five years, so as parents across the UK find themselves in similar circumstances after schools were forced to close during the coronavirus crisis, Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha – and her husband Mark Adderley – share their words of wisdom in this exclusive interview with HELLO! . “A few days ago, our daughter Maddie sent us a meme of a face looking petrified,” says Nadia. “The caption was: When you realise your way of life is called quarantine.’ She was referring to how she and her sister Kiki have been home schooled for years.

‘Alan wouldn’t follow rules… That’s why he got the picture nobody else could get’ ‘I found a picture the other day of Alan, photographer Richard Young and myself backstage at one of the Fashion Aid events. It was one of those super-cool, hanging-out-with-the-stars situations. Mick Jagger, Grace Jones and Jerry Hall were all there. Somebody got a joint out and Alan said: “I’ll have a bit of that.” Then he gave his camera to Mick and said: “Take a picture.” That was the sort of person he was. If you were doing a job and Alan was there, you’d be in trouble because he’d get the best out of everybody and you’d be left thinking: “Oh, right, I didn’t get that.” He wouldn’t follow rules or any authority. That’s why…
