Desde sus humildes comienzos en 1839 (sí, de verdad), el selfie se ha convertido en algo cada vez más habitual. En los 186 años que llevamos sacando autorretratos, hemos convertido esta técnica en un arte cada vez más pulido y complejo. Hasta el punto de sentir una punzada de decepción cuando nos vemos en las fotos que nos sacan otras personas: ¿es mi percepción o yo me saco mucho mejor?

Gird your loins! With the end of May fast approaching, the great British ‘summer’ is almost here. If spring’s unexpected sunshine is any indicator of what’s to come, let’s all pray for sunshine. You’ll be forgiven for not being prepared for it, given the usual cool climate, so if you’ve not yet settled on a summer SPF (tip: you should be wearing it daily anyway) don’t worry there’s still time. Making your decision a lot easier, Merit just launched The Uniform – a tinted mineral SPF 50.

We’ve all been there, sitting in the chair at the nail salon, desperately trying to decide what your next manicure should be – unable to pick your fave from all of the ideas you’ve got.

From humble beginnings that date all the way back to 1839 (yes, really), the selfie has today become commonplace. In the 186 years in which we’ve been turning the camera on ourselves, we’ve gotten it down to an art – so much so, that you can’t help but feel disappointment when you see your ‘true’ self captured in a tagged photo taken by somebody else. It’s no surprise then that scientists have discovered that almost all of us have a better side.

There’s a secret power in smells. Each of us has a scent-cyclopaedia of distinct notes we’ve collected over the years that have the power to evoke distant memories and bring them rushing back to the fore once you get a whiff. For me, the smell of jasmine always reminds me of holidaying on the Greek island of Spetses as a child, bubbling yeast and allspice recalls my baking aficionado granny, while one whiff of Hugo Man evokes memories of my dad wearing his signature fragrance.
