Dear
Reader,
|
Jessica DeFino is the beauty
journalist that the industry fears most. A former assistant to
the Kardashians (hence her volte face – she’s seen more insidious
behaviours than most), her Substack newsletter, The Unpublishable, has 94,000 subscribers, who each avidly
read her weekly missives. Whether it’s on the politics of
appearance in the Barbie movie; why Madonna’s plastic
surgery is not as subversive as she claims; or how the biggest
beauty retailers like Amazon and Walmart donate to US
anti-abortion campaigns, isn’t it time we all stopped being
sleeping beauties? Read Amy Wakeham’s interview with her here.
Have a great week.

A Spanish Secret
|
Seville can steal your heart, but we’ve discovered a
property an hour outside the
city that you might just fall for too. Built from the ground up with
sustainable principals at its heart, kick back and enjoy 5,000 acres
of wild Andalusian landscape for yourself – ideally from atop a
horse.

What’s That On Your
Arm?
|
Why is everyone tracking their blood sugar? The Zoe app, from Tim Spector, has spawned a proliferation of new companies
aiming to help you monitor what makes your blood sugar spike. Steady
on the Snickers.
