A BEAUTY fan's dream of fake freckles turned into a nightmare after a tattoo artist left her with huge dark dots all over her face. When TikTok user @ forever.afterxo , from Canada , popped into a beauty salon, she thought she'd leave with adorable freckles. However, things didn't go to plan, and the mortified mum took to TikTok to reveal the ink-credibly tragic aftermath. First, she revealed in the video , the tattoo whizz chose the colour of the ink and put the spots extra close to one another. Horrified at her new face, the beauty fan was quick to book a laser appointment to have the dark dots removed - this cost her almost £110. Not only did she describe the experience as ''painful'' but the mum also had to fork out for another session to fix the bad tattoo . read more on beauty SCENT-SATIONAL Shoppers rush to buy Aldi designer perfume dupes that are back in stock YOU GLOW GIRL Shoppers run to Superdrug … [Read more...] about I love freckles so I asked a tattoo pro to give me fake ones…they were anything but natural & now are costing me loads

General Santos City—Here in this avowed tuna capital of the country, many of us are reeling from at least two weeks of living in very high temperatures (33-37 degrees Celsius). The local shopping malls have become some cool refuge for many of us who do not have air conditioners at home. I remember that when my small family of four (two parents and two children) migrated here in 1998, the city was also on its third month of enduring a long dry spell, the very first El Niño we experienced then. It was quite difficult since we used to live in Cotabato City, where rain was almost a weekly occurrence then. We used to live in a very simple village there, where houses were made of wood, built on top of long, sturdy posts made stronger with concrete frames and steel bolts. The windows were wide, with wooden jalousies that allowed for the free passage of fresh air (although sometimes foul-smelling air wafted into our small living room). Then we had to use floor wax to make our wooden floors … [Read more...] about Nurturing nature (1)

The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Some are thru-hikers hoping to complete the 2,650-mile trek through California, Oregon and Washington (from the Mexican border to Canada), in one journey, while others are weekend backpackers and day hikers taking on smaller sections of the trail. The hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change . But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack . "These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab , told SFGATE. "Periods of above-average temperatures, particularly if they're prolonged, can cause significant rises in stream and river flows, which can be dangerous.” … [Read more...] about Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
