Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Hold Hands While Leaving NYC Restaurant After Sweet Date Night
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have thrilled fans thanks to another sweet date night sighting. The couple, both 35, stepped out in New York City on Friday, June 20 and were snapped holding hands while leaving a restaurant following their outing. In footage shared via a fan account, Swift and Kelce were seen exiting what appeared to be a back exit of the venue, while an employee held the door open for them. Kelce shook the employee's hand before departing. Dressing for the summer heat, the 'Bad Blood' singer wore a pale blue tank top matched with a floaty, dusty pink skirt for the occasion, while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end opted for all-white attire, rocking a matching T-shirt and shorts. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted During Their 2nd New York City Date in a Row Similar to many of their previous date nights, Swift and Kelce didn't seem to be afraid of subtle public displays of affection and sweetly held hands while on the move. The spotting is the latest in a spate of outings for the pair, who have been enjoying quality time together following an incredibly busy period in their respective careers. Last week, the athlete and pop star attended the Stanley Cup Finals in Sunrise, Florida on June 12. During the game, fans captured Swift and Kelce sharing a kiss and packing on the PDA as they watched the Edmonton Oilers face off against the Florida Panthers. Swift and Kelce also attended a wedding in Tennessee and were spotted enjoying each other's company on several other date nights at restaurants earlier this month. While they have emerged this month for their recent public date nights, Kelce and Swift had been deliberately lying low after they both experienced a jam-packed year. Swift wrapped up her Eras Tour in December 2024 while Kelce played the Super Bowl in February, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Pack on the PDA at Stanley Cup Game With a Touching Kiss An insider exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that the duo were staying out of the spotlight intentionally. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention,' the source told Us on June 4, 'but there isn't trouble in paradise.' In February, the athlete's dad, Ed Kelce, shared his two cents on how he thought his son's relationship with Swift would progress once both their schedules were clear. 'I think, you know, once we get past the Super Bowl, I think it's going to be a very good period of time for the two of them,' he told Australia's Today show. 'Without the NFL season, without the Eras tour. Just them alone really connecting more. I think that can only be a good thing.'

How To Make Blush Survive The Summer Heat
With the Guava Girl aesthetic and Cherry Blossom cheeks dominating this summer's beauty trends, it's only fitting that blush is the product of the moment. There really is no better way to add a vibrant, healthy glow. 'We're all looking to look our best, and blush instantly achieves that,' agrees says makeup artist Yael Maquieira. 'It brings freshness, brightness, and a radiance that instantly transforms the face.' But the best way to use blush this summer isn't just to swipe on some flat powder and be done. Instead, Maquieira recommends using a 'blush combo that plays with tones and textures' and stays put even in sweltering heat. What is a blush combo? It may seem like a new concept, but the 'blush combo' is a technique that professionals have actually been using for years. 'It consists of first applying a cream blush and then a powder blush to set the color,' explains Maquieira. Not only does a blush combo provide dimension, but it also keeps your color looking fresher longer. 'Cream blush adds juiciness and a radiant effect—but it doesn't always last as long as we'd like,' Maquieira says. 'Powder sets and prolongs the color, allowing the effect to last longer and feel fresher, more natural, and flattering. How to apply a blush combo A long-lasting blush combo is easy to apply, just be sure to keep the following in mind: 'Blend each layer well and apply a small amount at a time, building the color little by little,' says Maquieira. Below, the expert provides more tips for getting it right: Moisturize the skin well . 'Without good hydration, the product does not blend well and will not last,' Maquieira says. . 'Without good hydration, the product does not blend well and will not last,' Maquieira says. Apply cream blush first . 'I usually apply it by picking up a little with my finger, then tapping it onto the back of my hand. From there, I dab it on with a brush, so as not to drag the foundation,' Maquieira says. . 'I usually apply it by picking up a little with my finger, then tapping it onto the back of my hand. From there, I dab it on with a brush, so as not to drag the foundation,' Maquieira says. Seal with powder blush. 'Use one side of a brush to apply, then blend with the other, clean side to avoid applying too much,' Maquieira advises. 'It allows you to better control the amount and the finish—and it's also more natural.' Which blush colors look best together? There's no limit to the hues you can combine, from pinkish to peachy to beige or brown. 'I love to combine different shades, one in cream and one in powder that match well,' says Maquieira. 'I always recommend playing with color depending on the day or the look. This way, you get a look that's more personalized and vibrant.'

An outdoor bath? Maybe the next big thing will be outside loos
YOU MAY be used to seeing your neighbour mowing the lawn or hanging out the washing - but what about taking a bath? Coming hot on the heels of alfresco living rooms and kitchens comes outdoor baths and showers, which are gaining popularity in gardens across the country. People are immersing themselves in baths or enjoying showers installed on patios and even in the middle of lawns. Relaxing in the bath outdoors, surrounded by greenery and birdsong is thought to bring health benefits, leading to the term 'spa-den' - turning your garden into a wellbeing retreat. I just hope my neighbours don't turn their veg plots into a spa-den. I don't mind seeing them pottering about in shorts on hot summer days, with their hoes and trowels, but I'd rather they kept their bathroom routine inside the house. Why can't people enjoy their gardens for what they are? They should be bring a different experience to the one we get inside our homes, yet people seem to want to replicate it with outside living rooms, kitchens and now bathrooms. When I was growing up, on hot summer days, families brought out a few deckchairs and maybe a sun lounger. Some people, like my parents, had a garden bench and carried out the coffee table when we ate outside. Now, gardens are home to sofas larger than those in living rooms and with far more cushions. In place of rusty grills barbecues dragged out of the garage every summer come state-of-the-art outdoor kitchens with range cookers and special pizza ovens. Many people have larger, comfier sofas outdoors than in. Picture: PA (Image: PA) So it's no surprise that the next step is to bring the bathroom outside too. But why? Jacuzzis and hot tubs are commonplace, and have been for some time, so the desire for an actual bath in the garden seems ridiculous. It's not just a hot soak - outdoor ice baths, in particular, are catching on. Ever practical, my first thought would be 'Where would you store all the ice?' I struggle to find space for anything in my chest freezer as it is. And I am assuming bathers do so in the buff. It's to be hoped that nobody in the street pops round to borrow a cup of sugar while you're having a garden soak or showering beside the flowerbeds. I enjoy a bath as much as the next person, but I'll take mine inside, thank you. Likewise with cooking and lounging about on the settee. To me, inside and outside should be different and offer contrasting experiences. I anticipate the next big thing will be a return to the outside lavatory. My nana had one in her back yard in Normanby near Middlesbrough. During the night she would use a ceramic chamber pot kept under her bed but otherwise went outside to the loo in a small brick outhouse. Let's face it, during a busy day we all love to close the bathroom door and relax on the loo for ten minutes. Alfresco toilets, where you could sit in the sun, or shade - behind the garage or under a car port, maybe - with the T&A, could be just the thing. I'm forgetting the bedroom - why not fetch that outdoors too? It wouldn't be too difficult to heft a mattress or two on to the lawn, along with some bedding. After dining in your outdoor kitchen and winding down in your outside bath, sleeping under the stars in your garden bed would be magical. And with your outside toilet you could have an en-suite. I've convinced myself now - this outdoor living malarkey is not such a bad idea after all.
