As reported by the Mirror, the gift bag comprises the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30, ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash and Facial Pads, and ELEMIS Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Complex Serum, all neatly packed in a handy wash bag that can be reused time after time.

The food was delicious and the staff throughout the hotel were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel so welcome. They were all exceptional. You can walk into the city centre from the hotel as well which is a bonus." A different visitor recounted an experience that had its highs and lows: "After getting changed we went to the pool areas which were clean but inside did lack seating for everyone but luckily it was a sunny day so we sat outside. Both pools were clean and lovely, heated outdoor pool was a nice touch." And a visitor to the Trossachs facility left a glowing review: "The spa was great. The massage was really good, Caroline was kneading bread with my muscles, amazing. The room was excellent, the bed very comfy and the service was great too. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance."

TV fans can't stop watching controversial show's new season despite 'hating it'
Fans of a controversial reboot of one of the biggest shows of the Y2K era can't stop watching its new season despite it driving them mad. And Just Like That – which is available on Sky, NOW and Apple TV Plus in the UK and has just returned for season 3 – is a continuation of the iconic 90s series Sex and the City, starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Revolutionary for its time and inspired by a real-life relationship column, the groundbreaking show followed the love lives of four women living in New York City. As well as starring Sarah as Carrie Bradshaw, it also made TV legends of Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis, who played main characters Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte respectively. Sex and the City came to an end in 2004 after six seasons, but two films (in 2008 and 2010) provided what fans thought would be the final chapter. However, in 2021, And Just Like That gave fans more of the Sex and the City content they'd been craving – but maybe not always in the way they'd hoped for. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Since its first episode, And Just Like That has received a mixed reception from fans and critics, with some slamming the writing and plot decisions along the way. Two popular characters from Sex and the City – Chris Noth's John 'Big' Preston and the late Willie Garson's Stanford Blatch – were written off instantly in ways that upset fans. And the big kicker for fans of the HBO series was that Kim wouldn't reprise her role as Samantha, only appearing as a guest star in a single episode of season two. However, the new series has developed a reputation for its serious and unwavering commitment to camp, and for really leaning into its melodramatic elements, which some fans can't get enough of. And Just Like That returned with season three on Thursday night, picking up after Carrie and Aidan (John Corbett) agree to put their relationship on hold for five years . On X, @CaseyLeeMoore summed up fans' irrational attachment to the show by jokingly recalling an interaction they'd had with their roommate earlier that night. '[My roommate asked] 'I thought you hated this show – why do you keep watching it?' [and I said] 'You just don't get it…'' using a clip of Carrie from the show to explain why they couldn't tear themselves away. @DramaBananna commented: 'Carrie is the friend that got completely annoying and you can't stand anymore, but you keep meeting her because you used to love and will always love her.' Though she's insufferable and sadly, nothing attaches you to her no more.' @Key9481 complained, 'Poor Charlotte and Miranda, their storyline keep getting worse and worse,' after asking earlier, 'Why is everybody singing? What is going on?' However, some Sex and the City fans are happily along for the zany ride, with @CanIScreamNow saying: 'I've just watched the first episode of series 3 and didn't want it to end! From SATC to AJLT, it never ever disappoints.' @RankedReal was excited too, despite being unable to love the show: 'Unbelievably excited that my favourite hate watch is back, hello lover!' On Reddit, user Cityofooo said that watching a scene that depicted Miranda kissing another character while Carrie sat nearby was 'like being held hostage'. Viewers are also addicted to dissecting the fashion disasters some of the characters are put through, with last night's episode providing a comically large hat and a necklace made entirely of large wicker balls. Upon seeing the necklace in question, @D1g1cxlt asked: 'What the hell is that woman wearing? Like girl, this is the one thing Anna Wintour told you to take off!' More Trending And Just Like That also features actors who made their names in Sex and the City and have reprised their roles years later to remain a part of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda's stories. Evan Handler has returned as Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt, while David Eigenberg has returned as Steve Brady, Miranda's love interest during parts of Sex and the City. In terms of new members of the main cast, Sarita Choudhury plays Seema Patel, a realtor who becomes friends with Carrie after she sells Carrie's old apartment.

Here's the wild way NASA astronaut made a makeshift version of popular food item in space: ‘This hits the spot in its own way'
A NASA astronaut recently revealed what a makeshift cheeseburger in space looks like — and nothing about it looks appetizing. When you're in space and don't have easy access to much, let alone a fast food restaurant — you have to make do with what you have. That's exactly what Jonny Kim, who is currently on the International Space Station (ISS), had to do when he was recently craving a burger. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his 'ranger burger' creation — which consisted of 'beef steak, wheat snack bread, cheese spread as both topping and glue, potatoes au gratin layered in the middle, and a generous slather of gochujang red pepper paste from a care package on the SpX-32 Cargo Dragon.' 'I miss cooking for my family, but this hits the spot in its own way,' he wrote in his tweet. Kim has been on the spacecraft since early April and will spend eight months there, according to the Daily Mail. 'I miss cooking for my family, but this hits the spot in its own way,' Kim wrote in his tweet. ISS/NASA / SWNS While it's easy for people on Earth to judge Kim's creation — astronauts are not only forced to get creative with what they have access to, they have to make sure they're consuming enough calories while in outer space. Two NASA astronauts that were stranded on the ISS for five months chowed down on pizza, roast chicken and shrimp cocktail. Unfortunately, processed food is what many in their position have to eat because the Space Food Systems Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston has limited fresh fruit and veggies. 'There's fresh fruit at first,' a specialist told The Post, 'but as the three months continues, that goes away — and their fruits and vegetables are packaged or freeze-dried.' All meat products — like the beef steak used in Kim's burger — and eggs are originally cooked on Earth and are then reheated in space for consumption. Food aside — even making a cup of coffee is quite the task while in space. Supposedly, astronauts use a Zero-G cup, or capillary cup, to guide the coffee liquid from the cup's base to their lips to sip it as if they were on Earth. 'We take gravity for granted. Generally, we are unaware of the weight of our hands, or how easily we pour coffee into a cup. We don't stop to think, 'Will the coffee rise up and pour out?' or 'Can we pour the coffee?' We just do it,' said spaceman Don Pettit.
