Here’s a sobering fact: the average parent couple spends around 37 minutes only of quality time together per day, according to the New York Post. Most of that happens after 9 PM when you’re both already exhausted.

My partner and I learned this the hard way after years of putting “couple time” at the bottom of our priority list. When we finally escaped to Crete for five days last year, we remembered what attracted us to each other in the first place, and it wasn’t our shared ability to find lost shoes at 7:45 AM.

In recent years, the quest for beauty products that simplify our routines has led to the rise of tinted sunscreens. These innovative products provide a dual purpose: they offer essential sun protection while also enhancing the skin’s appearance. For those navigating busy lives, combining these two functionalities into one product can be a game changer.

So, what exactly is tinted SPF, and why has it become so popular? Tinted sunscreens are formulated to provide broad-spectrum UV protection while incorporating a hint of colour. This allows wearers to achieve a natural, even skin tone while safeguarding their skin from harmful UV rays. Essentially, they help eliminate the need for multiple layers of skincare and makeup, making them an attractive option for anyone looking to streamline their routine.

One compelling choice in this category is the lightweight complexion-enhancing SPF available at SunSolveMD. This product not only protects your skin but also delivers a subtle glow, blending seamlessly with various skin tones. Its combination of easy application and effective protection makes it a valuable addition to any skincare arsenal.

There’s a particular thrill in dropping beneath the surface and realising — almost immediately — that you can’t predict what’s coming. You prepare the way you always do, steady your breathing, settle into the water. Still, the ocean decides the rest. I’ve always liked that about diving, the unpredictability of it. Especially in places where the animals are so large, so unmistakably present, that you feel something shift inside you when they appear. And starting this kind of journey with scuba diving in the Azores feels right somehow. The archipelago has that raw, volcanic pulse that makes even the calm days feel charged with possibility.

From there, the circuit opens up. Not in a linear way, but more like a scattering of far-flung places that — together — form a loose path through encounters with mantas, sharks, whales, and other giants. None of it is guaranteed. Yet somewhere across these oceans, you find moments that stay with you long after the salt dries on your skin.

Here are six destinations where the ocean’s biggest characters take over the story.

Holiday drink specials always bring a little extra excitement to the season, and the fun part is that each one offers its own twist on familiar flavors. Whether you prefer something bold, something cozy, or something sweet, there’s always a cocktail that fits the moment. These picks highlight the best parts of winter gatherings while giving you new ideas to try this year.

Screwed Up Espresso Martini

Vodka with a holiday twist brings this drink to life in a way that feels playful without going overboard. You get that familiar smooth base, but the seasonal spin gives it more character, almost like it’s dressing up for the holidays just as much as everyone else at the party. The flavor hits harder because of that contrast, and it sets the tone for everything that comes next.
