From star jasmine to honeysuckle and Oriental lilies, fragrant plants are perfect for pollinators, and add an extra dimension to your gardenFragrance is the gardening version of aromatherapy, because it's pure pleasure: it soothes the mind and conjures up past memories in a nanosecond. The scent wafting through the air is designed to lure in pollinators, and it's worth noting that nectar flows more freely in warmer, sheltered situations away from strong winds.

Ich hatte für dieses Jahr eine Reise nach New York geplant, aber ich mache mir Sorgen wegen der Einreise in die USA. Als Europäer haben mich die jüngsten Berichte über Reisende, die an der US-Grenze kontrolliert werden, nervös gemacht. In vielen Ländern gibt es Reisewarnungen für die USA. Deswegen fahre ich stattdessen nach Italien. Ich lebe in Großbritannien und habe die USA schon dreimal in meinem Leben besucht.

When my kids were small, I brought them to Florida for a once-in-a-lifetime trip exploring the state. On my family's second visit to the US, we headed to Texas after a cruise, stopping by the Houston Zoo and having the best Tex-Mex food I've ever eaten. As a European, I always felt welcome in the country and never worried about my visits beyond the usual travel inconveniences like long flights and tiredness.

The Elitone pelvic floor trainer is the go-to for those with more to spend who want the easy life when it comes to improving the strength of their pelvic floor. Having never used a trainer before, I had some doubts, but the results I saw after six weeks made me a big fan of the brand. Bladder leaks and drips are no joke and can land anywhere from a minor inconvenience to a life-changing problem, trust me. As a woman in menopause who's birthed two children, I know these issues only too well.
