Another who snapped up Collateral cuff in the sale, called it: "Beautiful and sculptural cuff. So well made and fits like a glove. I know it's going to be a huge compliment getter!"
"These rings make any outfit shine," said another shopper who purchased the Grip rings, adding: "they are so simple and shine really nicely. I'm very satisfied with these!"
While there were no negative reviews to speak of, one buyer who left a three-star review on Trustpilot said: "I bought stuff on 25% off but still felt like their prices are on the steep end. Their designs are cool and different, but that seems to be their only unique selling point."
A five-star review that summed up the Paralyze chain said: "My favourite necklace. It's even better than I expected. I get so many compliments."

Liz Truss slams beloved UK event claiming it was made by people who 'hate Britain'

She managed to take a swipe at the NHS, Isembard Kingdom Brunel, Shakespeare, Peter Pan, Jerusalem, Mary Poppins, Elgar, Pink Floyd, The Clash, James Bond and the Queen all in one sentence Liz Truss has slammed the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, claiming it was made by people who "hate Britain." ‌ The former Prime Minister, who was ousted after 49 days, claimed the performance, watched and beloved by millions, was out of touch with the views of Brits. ‌ She'd been asked by hard right podcaster Ben Shapiro whether she agreed with the NHS being such a focus of the celebration of the best of British. ‌ And she managed to take a swipe at the NHS, Isembard Kingdom Brunel, Shakespeare, Peter Pan, Jerusalem, Mary Poppins, Elgar, Pink Floyd, The Clash, James Bond and the Queen all in one sentence. "The views expressed in the Olympic ceremony are not those of the average Briton," Ms Truss replied. She added: "The problem is we have an elite that hates Britain, and they have done for some time. ‌ And that is the history of Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer. They want to help the human rights of anybody who doesn't live in Britain but they're very reticent to defend our own interests." ‌ In 2013, Ms Truss said praised the ceremony for having "seamlessly combined Isambard Kingdom Brunel and William Shakespeare, Tim Berners-Lee and Mary Poppins." And in 2019 she called for the "spirit of the 2012 Olympics - a modern, patriotic, enterprising vision of Britain" to be revived. Ms Truss has been eager to build a profile in the US in recent years - appearing at a number of conferences and giving interviews to a string of pro-Trump outlets. ‌ Get Donald Trump updates straight to your WhatsApp!

In 2024, she failed to challenge host Steve Bannon, formerly a Trump advisor, on his claim that Tommy Robinson is a "hero". A year later, she again appeared on Bannon's podcast, just hours after he'd been accused of giving a nazi salute at a MAGA rally. At the same conference, she sat down for an interview with the Epoch Times, a far-right media organisation affiliated with the Falun Gong religious movement.

I quit the UK for ‘luxury' life in Dubai but it left me at BREAKING point – reality is nothing like the Instagram pics

DREAM OVER I quit the UK for 'luxury' life in Dubai but it left me at BREAKING point – reality is nothing like the Instagram pics Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who ditched the UK for Dubai has returned home, after life in the city pushed her to breaking point. Natalie Goodall, now 32, made the decision to relocate to the UAE after she was offered a golf coaching job aged just 18. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 A Brit who lived in Dubai returned to the UK after years of working 80 hour weeks Credit: SWNS 6 Natalie moved to Dubai aged 18 Credit: SWNS 6 Natalie and Will are now happy to have returned to the UK Credit: SWNS She jumped at the chance - living with a friend then various family members before renting her own apartment in Damac Hills. Natalie lived in the seemingly idyllic and luxurious city for years until the Dubai lifestyle became too much - because the city's "business model" didn't allow for "work-life balance". After years of working 80 hour, six-day weeks, Natalie moved back to the UK in 2019 and has settled down in West Parley, Dorset. And, while she loved Dubai and says she'll go back for holidays, she said she's unlikely to relocate back there. As swathes of Brits opt to move out there with high expectations of luxurious living and endless fun, Natalie feels that Brits going with high expectations "may be disappointed." Natalie, now a self-employed PGA professional, said: "I never saw myself leaving Dubai - I was working at one of the best golf schools in the world. "And the city was absolutely stunning, on my day off I went down to the beach and when you let your hair down you could have a bloody good time. "But afterwards you'd look at your bank balance and think 'oh crap'. "But the business model out there - there is no work life balance. "I was coming home to my partner after 12 hour days, at 9pm, and I could barely hold a conversation because I'd be so tired. I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash "In my last year I told him 'I can't do this' - you know when your time is up. "It's a very glamorous place and I can see moving there is a trend - but everywhere has their downfalls." At the time, she was making the equivalent of around £25-£30k a year - but the high costs in Dubai meant she couldn't enjoy the full extent of the luxurious lifestyle compared to what people assume. She said: "I was just making money to survive - in the service industry you were worked very hard. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. "I was working six days a week and I couldn't afford to reduce my hours." After meeting her fellow expat partner Will Coan, 34, in 2017, while out there, the pair lived together but Natalie began to "spiral". She said: "You can feel yourself, your work and time management aren't as good, your diet goes out the window. " I never saw myself leaving Dubai but it's not sustainable - as I got older, I started to think, how the bloody hell will I have a life here? "It's not on an individual person - it's just the business model out there." In September 2019, she moved from Dubai back to the UK and got a job in Guernsey, once she had secured the necessary golf qualifications to be a coach. Nine months later, Will, who worked in a role in food manufacturing, finished his contract and moved back to the UK as well. They now own a home together in West Parley and are happier than ever. 6 Natalie and Will would never move back to Dubai Credit: SWNS 6 Dubai pushed Natalie to breaking point Credit: SWNS

Woman 'thought she was at hotel with Wayne Lineker' until she discovered truth

People have been left in stitches of laughter after hearing about a woman's story while holidaying in Ibiza - she thought she had hit the jackpot and met Wayne Lineker but the truth left her red-faced A young woman on a girls' holiday with her mate was absolutely buzzing after she believed she'd encountered her "hero", Wayne Lineker. Gary Lineker 's brother can frequently be found chatting to punters at his cherished party destination, Ocean Beach in Ibiza - with countless visitors clamouring for snaps with his during their visit. ‌ The Spanish beach club has enjoyed tremendous success since launching 13 years ago, and remains essential for Brits visiting the party isle. Celebrities including Ed Sheeran, Jason Derulo, Jack Grealish and Conor McGregor have been photographed at the San Antonio venue. One woman was thrilled after meeting who she believed was Wayne Lineker, who has remained single for seven years. ‌ She became even more excited when he reportedly offered to buy her a drink. The party-goer was holidaying with a friend she's called Faye, and the duo were staying at Ibiza Rocks. One day while at the poolside party hotel, the two women were approached by some "absolute sorts" they nicknamed "Ibiza Final Bosses". The blokes invited them to Ocean Beach for the day, which they accepted. ‌ She and her mate headed to the beach club with the group and claims she was "having the time of her life" with them, until something caught her attention. She revealed in a frank TikTok video : "Out the corner of my eye I could see Wayne Lineker. I know exactly who Wayne Lineker is, I know he is into brunettes." She continued: "My mate Faye doesn't know who he is. He approaches and asks 'do you want a drink'. I respond 'I've got my own drinks but sure I'd love you to get me a drink'. So we end up spending time with Wayne Lineker and his companion, let's call him Barry for the story." Lacy explained she and her friend departed from the initial group they'd joined at the beach club, hoping to spend their day with 'Wayne' and his mate. She observed they were having "a great time". ‌ The pair were invited to an afterparty at the location where the two men were staying. Lacy revealed: "I'm like absolutely, I'm thinking there's going to a party, this is going to be lit, me and Wayne are going to be a thing, I'm literally going to come back to Torquay engaged. I manifested the whole thing." However, she began feeling doubtful when they climbed into a vehicle to reach the party. "I thought we were going to get into a Range Rover, it wasn't quite that," she revealed. Lacy explained she hadn't realised how intoxicated they were until that point. She described how they exited the car and entered a hotel, despite anticipating a large villa gathering. ‌ "It is a disappointment to say the least," she remarked. Please note the follow video contains strong language. ‌ She continued: "So we're all sat in this twin room with Wayne, Barry, my mate Faye and me. They're like 'do you want a drink', I'm like 'yeah sure'. Anyway we do the whole formal thing of asking each other's names." Lacy revealed she jokingly asked 'Wayne' what his name was, completely convinced it was him, and was stunned when he replied saying 'Tim'. She explained: "I said you're so funny. He goes, 'what do you mean'. I go 'you're name's not Tim', he goes 'yeah my name's Tim'. So it's at that moment I realise what I've done. This ain't Wayne Lineker." ‌ She continued: "I realised I have royally f***ed up. I have brought us to the back end of Ibiza where I have never even visited with this guy Tim - and now come to think of it, he doesn't even look anything like Wayne Lineker. I am that lit, I'm stuck in this crazy hotel room with my mate." She feigned illness so she and her pal could make their getaway. But matters got worse when they couldn't find a taxi for more than an hour. ‌ Lacy continued: "I am stuck in a hotel room with f***ing Barry, Wayne, Faye, and me drinking the worst f***ing prosecco while all the Ibiza final bosses are at a party." Wayne Lineker, who also runs Linekers bars and Bam-Bu-Ku, spotted the post and replied in the comments. Wayne quipped: "Who's Barry? Must be Dean Gaffney." ‌ Lacy fired back: "No way has Wayne entered the chat. Deffo not as hot as Dean Gaffney, more like Barry from Eastenders. Don't worry Wayne I would recognise you in a crowded room any day of the was an off brand night." The video was a hit with viewers, with one quipping: "What in the Jet 2 Holidays is going on here." Another chimed in with: "Wayne Lineker from Temu,". A third couldn't contain their laughter, commenting: "I am crying," while another person penned: "I have never laughed so much at 7am on a Sunday morning." Another fan added: "Haha brilliant. Knew that was coming. Sounds like something I'd do. At least you have a great story to tell." One viewer shared a personal anecdote, stating: "Wayne Lineker tried chatting me up in his bar in Tenerife 35 years ago! He's spent his life trying to pull women. I think you can do better."
