There’s a lot of misconception around eating disorders and the noticing of signs or symptoms of one. Bulimia nervosa is one disorder that is frequently misinterpreted, especially within the film industry. You often see actresses playing the role of someone who suffers with bulimia, but I feel they don’t portray all aspects of the disorder. Often the actresses are extremely thin and exercise freaks; women who control every aspect of their life and feel the need to also control their food. Women who are seen to be throwing up after every plate of food – if they are ever actually eating a plate of food – and women who choose to live off a couple of nuts a day. I can’t help but feel the film industry just got it so, so wrong. Of course, some aspects in films like Kate’s Secret are correct, but I feel they were not perceived in the correct light. I think it’s important to address a few things that are often missed out among people’s perceptions of bulimia.

Get the look: Interior designer Kelly Hoppen’s stunning barn-style kitchen
Post-pandemic, renowned interior designer, author and ex-BBC Dragon Kelly Hoppen dreamed of escaping to the country… as long as she could take a little bit of the city with her. She took possession of the broken-down shell of a Cotswolds lambing barn, turning it into a 2,500sq ft home with three wings facing on to a central courtyard. It has been her weekend retreat for two years. ‘The barn’s interior is a mix of inspiration from the city and country, a nice medium,’ says Kelly. ‘You feel like you’re definitely in a rural environment, but you also feel like a part of you is from London . ‘It’s reflective of my post-pandemic lifestyle. When we first viewed it, it was pure rubble and I just made a decision then and there as I had been looking for so long and wanted a space like this in the country.’ Downstairs it’s light and airy with high ceilings and exposed original wood beams. The big, multifunctional living area is great for when guests visit. Kelly wanted the … [Read more...] about Get the look: Interior designer Kelly Hoppen’s stunning barn-style kitchen

He says: “If your pet is acting funny or is under the weather, or you want to know about nutrition or exercise, just ask. I can help keep pets happy and healthy.” Q) I HAVE an 18-year-old Burmese cat called Bella who has third- stage kidney disease but is not on medication. For the past couple of months she has started being very verbal throughout the night. Is she in pain? Do I need to consider having her put to sleep? I would hate to be keeping her here for selfish reasons if she is suffering.

Youngsville woman greeted with surprise wedding during surprise 40th birthday party
It didn't come as a surprise to anyone that Brandon Bahlawan and Lacie Poirrier would get married, but few people aside from Bahlawan knew that the wedding would happen over the weekend. "I woke up one morning and was like 'I'm going to throw a surprise birthday for her and also a surprise wedding,'" Bahlawan said. Surprise doesn't even begin to describe what Bahlawan pulled off on Saturday. He managed to gather about 50 of the couple's closest friends and family together at their Youngsville home for a surprise party that most of the guests didn't even realize was actually going to be a wedding ceremony. "Everything was perfect," Poirrier said. "It was just such a great day, a great night. And you know what? I don't have to plan a wedding now." Poirrier — soon to be Bahlawan — turned 40 on Aug. 1. She knew her fiancé had something special planned for Aug. 6 to celebrate the milestone birthday, but she believed it was just a dinner with friends and a night away from … [Read more...] about Youngsville woman greeted with surprise wedding during surprise 40th birthday party
