MG QS three-row SUV dots down in Australia
MG Motor Australia now has its large family-sized SUV, the MG QS. It has shipped and is now in dealerships across Australia. The same model is promised here as well, according to the local MG website. So it should arrive soon in both Excite and Essence trim levels. The QS has a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine under the hood, delivering 153kW of power and 360Nm of torque. It mates to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Read our review of MG ZS hybrid+ Essence. MG says its QS is a genuine seven-seater, not a 5+2, and combines practical versatility with premium styling. The flexible third row of seats folds flat to make extra room for prams, sports gear, or luggage. Capacity ranges from 203 through 517 to 1052L, for seven, five and two seats in use, respectively. Both can tow up to 2000kg braked loads. Peter Ciao, Chief Executive Officer of MG Motor Australia, said: 'We're proud to officially welcome the MG QS to our dealerships across Australia. This is our first 7-seat SUV in the market, and it marks an exciting milestone for MG and our customers. 'The QS is designed with Australian families in mind – whether it's the school run, weekend sport or a family road trip. The extra space and versatility of a true 7-seater…will make a real difference in everyday life.' 'As always, we've focused on delivering exceptional value without compromising on style, performance or technology. With its spacious interior, turbocharged engine and premium features across both variants, the QS is a standout addition to our line-up. We're confident it will be a popular choice for families across the country.' Special features include tri-zone climate air, a powered fifth door and a Bose premium sound system. The QS comes with MG's 10-year factory warranty. Promotional drive-away pricing in Australia is $46,990 for the Excite 2wd model, and $50,990 for the Essence AWD version. Specifications

38 Things If You Have A Vampiric Relationship With The Sun
Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm for a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't get back inside after a picnic and start wondering why your lips feel so tight. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen. A "boardwalk"-scented spray SPF 30 in case you find yourself on an actual boardwalk during a go-with-the-flow just sipping some wine on a patio where you're DEF in direct sunlight. Oh, and it's in a vegan, water-resistant formula made to protect you for 80 minutes. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar for a K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake. A set of cooling patches will work some soothing magic for a variety of uses including (perhaps most importantly), sunburn. But it'll also help with itchiness from bug bites and poison ivy. And! They're TSA friendly. So you can probably leave your aloe vera gel at home for your next vacation. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum, which reviewers ADORE as a priming moisturizer. Because sometimes, when you're doing a full face and your SPF isn't built into another product, even the BEST sunscreen users can forget it! Oh, and there's zero white cast! Or standalone Bliss Block Star Face Sunscreen SPF 50's nongreasy formula will soak into skin so well — even if you're layering it under a full face of foundation (I should know). It's also sweat- and water-resistant, fragrance-free, and noncomedogenic, so it checks most of the boxes for what you could need in a face sunscreen. A TomboyX solar mesh tank that'll help keep you cool and dry thanks to its breathable UPF 50 protection material. So it'll work super well as a swim cover-up, workout top, or just a nice layer to keep you from pouring sweat while just being outside of your house! A reviewer-beloved, spacious beach tent with UPF 50+ protection (the maximum sun protective rating achievable for fabrics) to give you ALL the shade at the beach because the beach CAN be great. You just gotta be prepared! A UPF 50 quick-dry long-sleeve swim top if your shoulders always ALWAYS get fried on beach vacations. Pull on this cute top and it won't be an issue! And if you prefer a little more coverage, some UPF 50+ swim capris built to help you jump some waves and engage in some serious seashell-hunting activities. A *solid* Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that really sticks to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on–friendly! (I love to keep this in my purse all the time.) Or Kopari Sun Shield On-The-Glow Sheer Sunscreen Stick packs SPF 40 for a verrrrrrry glittery effect on your skin while keeping it from sizzling in the sun. I just used this at a Las Vegas music festival and got away (mostly) unscathed. (I got a little lazy at the end and missed a few little spots on one shoulder.) Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible! A fancy umbrella that reviewers love for their patio but *also* take along to the beach. But if you're landlocked, you still have lots of shady backyard ops to use it. A sturdy beach umbrella that reviewers say withstands the wind in case you're sick of renting an *essential* shady umbrella for every last beach day. A retro-look swim dress that, tbh, has no business being this cute. And! It has full shorts underneath so you don't have to worry about anything riding up at the least convenient time. If you wanna look beach-y without putting every last inch of your skin in the sun (bc sunburns), then this is a great bet. A packable floppy hat with a wide brim that'll provide some extra shade on walks, park days, whatever! A *tasteful* sunshade triangle rather than a canopy you can rig up over the patio or the kids' sandbox to block up to 95% of UV rays and keep things a bit cooler while you lounge in the shade. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers to pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply. A zip-up one-piece with cute cap sleeves and a fun print if you can't stand on the beach 20 minutes without getting sunburned on your chest. Or, you just wanna get versatile with the amount of cleavage you show. A refillable sunscreen sponge applicator with a rollerball inside to make reapplication SO much easier. Even for your family members who always complain later after they avoided reapplication OR "reapplied" but somehow still have an extremely sunburnt stomach. Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 beloved by reviewers with melanated skin for good reason. It rubs in (like, actually rubs in) and doesn't leave any ashy white effect. A reversible bucket hat because, well, EVERYONE looks great in a bucket hat. You just haven't found one that suits you yet. WELP, I just found it for you. Keeping the sun outta your face has never looked so cute. Self-Tanner will be super easy to apply and develops in an hour. Just because you coat on the SPF doesn't mean you can't have a nice summer tan! (Psst, self-tanner beginners say this vegan formula is easy to use with a nice, gradual fade.) Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 comes in a two-pack so you can know you'll be covered without FEELING like you're covered in greasy sun protection. Coppertone Glow with Shimmer Sunscreen Spray in SPF 30 can give you that been-outside-all-summer glow — even if the most light you've basked in has been the light of your phone three mere inches from your face as you scroll through TikTok at 3 a.m. A roomy beach bag with a waterproof section where you can stick your phone, Kindle, and other items that ABSOLUTELY cannot get wet. AND it'll have plenty of room for your sunscreen and sun hat. A waterproof pouch to throw your phone in on that day you decided to shock your friends by driving an hour to the river and going tubing in the sun. You can catch it all for the 'gram because this'll keep your phone dry *and* let you still use your touchscreen. I bring these on all my beach vacations and have taken some really cool underwater videos. A five-piece table set just begging to be paired with a chic umbrella because maybe you're ready to emerge from the air-conditioned outdoors. But you'd like to remain in the shade. Or a 15-foot lighted umbrella that'll tilt (literally) to your whims and give you the right amount of shade and light when/where you want it. A hanging lounge chair your dog will adore too — all the better to make a lil' oasis for yourself. (Even in the smallest of backyards!) Milani Make It Last Sunscreen Setting Spray / Primer with SPF 30 to help you combine three beauty products into make your makeup waterproof for up to 16 hours. After all, if you're going to bother putting on makeup during the blistering heat of summer, you might as well make sure it stays PUT. If you're feeling splurgey, Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow Gel SPF 45 delivers on some major glitz while blocking the sun's harmful rays. In case you've always thought, "I love how people look all glowy while oiled up!" but have gone for traditional SPF for obvious reasons, here's your sign to try this. A sand removal bag filled with talc-free, reef-friendly powder that'll help you brush off the scratchy stuff when it's time to reapply your sunscreen. Exfoliation scrubbing is happening LATER in the shower, not in between SPF layers on the beach, OK? Also, it'll be fab when it's time to the leave the beach and you don't want to track a bucket's worth of sand into your car. Supergoop! Shimmershade eyeshadow, an easy-to-use SPF 30 sunscreen, makes for a super easy summertime (or any time) routine. Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp and Hair Mist to make sure that your precious hair part doesn't get burned while you're doing whatever you're doing outdoors. This also doesn't turn your roots or scalp a different color!

MG Australia cuts back 2025 MG 5 range
The 2025 MG 5 will be offered in a single, more expensive model grade following the introduction of key safety technologies which helped it score a higher three-star ANCAP safety rating earlier this month. For the 2025 model year, the MG 5 small sedan will be sold exclusively in Essence trim, with the previous entry-level Vibe variant now dropped from the lineup. That increases the MG 5's admission price to $32,990 drive-away, which is up by more than $8000 following the discontinuation of the previous Vibe at $24,888 drive-away, and a $4000 price hike for the Essence, which was previously priced at $28,990 drive-away. Hundred of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. As a result, the simplified single-variant MG 5 range is now positioned much more closely to small sedans from Korea and Japan, including the Hyundai i30 (from $29,000 before on-road costs), Kia K4 (from $30,590 plus on-roads), Mazda 3 sedan (from $31,310 plus on-roads) and Toyota Corolla (from $32,320 plus on-roads). New safety functions for the 2025 MG 5 Essence include lane keep assist, emergency lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and intelligent cruise assist. Seatbelt pretensioners for all five seats including a three-point centre rear seatbelt, plus a seatbelt warning and reminder have also been added, along with whiplash-resistant front and rear seats. The safety updates bring the MG 5 Essence a fresh three-star ANCAP safety rating dated June 2025. In August 2023, the MG 5 was one of three models to receive a shock zero-star rating from the safety body, the others being the Mahindra Scorpio large SUV and the no-longer-on-sale Mitsubishi Express van. MG Australia has confirmed there are no other equipment changes for the 2025 MG 5 Essence over the previous 2024 version. It continues with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 199kW of power and 250Nm of torque, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and claimed combined fuel economy of 6.4L/100km. Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry with push-button start, synthetic leather seat trim, a 360-degree camera, six-speaker audio and a glass sunroof. In addition to the safety upgrades, the MG 5's driver assist tech suite includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a 'Sport' tuned stability control system, and active corner braking control. MG offers one of Australia's longest new-car warranties, at 10 years or 250,000km.

Eve Is 11 Years Into Love, Luxury, & Looking Unbothered
Source: Dave Benett / Getty Eve is the blueprint for Black girl evolution. And this week, she reminded us how fly life can be when you choose joy, peace, and a little bit of luxury. The Philly-bred rapper, actress, and style icon is celebrating 11 years of marriage to her husband, British entrepreneur Maximillion Cooper. And if 'glowing in grace' had a face, it would be Eve's. In other words, Eve is the epitome of soft girl life. RELATED: Eve Is Giving 'Who's That Girl' Vibes In Her Latest Instagram Post She took to social media on June 14, sharing a stunning black-and-white wedding portrait of her and her husband. The elegant photo lovingly displays a union that some once doubted. Maximillion shared a post recognizing their anniversary as well. Eve has opened up about the skepticism she faced for marrying across racial lines, becoming a bonus mom to multiple stepkids, and packing up her American roots to start over across the pond. As recently as 2024, a picture of Eve and her family went viral during the holidays. But Eve remains unbothered and in her bag. In an interview about her memoir, Who's That Girl , she recently said that she is in her 'soft life era.' And in a previous conversation with Essence , she shared that being with her husband, she had to 'learn to be happy' and urged women to find happiness. Sis is flourishing – and we love to see it. Lately, fans have seen more of the femcee in the public eye. Last fall, she also served as a guest lecturer at NYU. She dropped her memoir, and the mommy-preneur continues to share sweet moments with her son Wilde Wolf on Instagram. In May, she joined Nelly on a global tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut album, Country Grammar . She also popped up with none other than Usher during a London stop on his tour, rocking a silver leotard and reminding everyone exactly why she is still that girl. With each appearance, her hair, beauty, and fashion remain unmatched. No one can rock a 40-inch blonde like Eve. Her body is tea, and her skin is giving the fountain of youth. A Philly girl at heart, the 'Love Is Blind' rapper remains edgy and elevated in her lewks. One thing Eve is going to do is put that ish on! In an industry that often demands a lot from stars – especially Black women – Eve stands out. Happy 11th wedding anniversary to the queen who taught us how to live loud and live well.

'You can call her my wife": Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts marries Bryonna Burrows for second time in dream Napa Valley celebration
NFL star Jalen Hurts and his longtime partner Bryonna Burrows just did something special again, but this time, it was even more private and personal. While numerous fans were already aware they had toned down their first wedding, this second occasion has captured even more public intrigue. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Set in a beautiful venue, the celebration could not have been more heartfelt, love-filled, and anything but quiet about a few surprises. Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Burrows host second wedding in Napa Valley On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, 26, and Bryonna 'Bry' Burrows got married again in a second ceremony in Napa Valley, California. According to Page Six, the couple booked the entire Four Seasons hotel from Thursday, June 12 to Sunday, June 15. The weekend began with a dinner party on Thursday night. They hosted their visitors at a barn party on Friday. The main wedding ceremony was held on Saturday and was attended by close friends and family. Also, there was music legend Stevie Wonder. For the special day, Bryonna donned a strapless white dress; Jalen selected a traditional white tuxedo. The couple beamed and were sophisticated as they had their unique moment. Though the wedding was intimate, big media like People Magazine and Page Six quickly spread the news. Also Read: Jalen Hurts confirms marriage with Bryonna Burrows and reflects on his relationship In an interview earlier this year with Men's Health magazine for their May/June 2025 issue, Jalen Hurts quietly confirmed that he had already married Bryonna. He said, 'You can call her my wife.' That was the first time he made the news public. The couple met while studying at the University of Alabama and have been in an on-and-off relationship since then. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They were first seen together in January 2023, when Bryonna joined Jalen on the field after the Eagles won the NFC Championship game. In a past interview with Essence, Hurts said he wasn't married yet but was 'spoken for.' In September 2024, the couple shared their engagement through a feature in Essence, along with beachside photos. Bryonna earned an MBA from Alabama's Manderson School of Business and has worked in tech, most recently with IBM. Her LinkedIn has since been deleted, but sources confirmed her professional background. Their love story, from college days to two wedding ceremonies, has touched many fans.
