Mommy blogger Candice Miller deactivates Instagram days after posting for the first time since husband's suicide
Hamptons mommy blogger Candice Miller deactivated the Instagram account that made her famous just days after she posted for the first time since her husband's shock suicide last year. The mom of two — who was saddled with hubby Brandon Miller's nearly $33.6 million debt following his death — shut down the Instagram account for Mama & Tata, the luxury lifestyle blog that she ran with her sister documenting their ritzy lives. Earlier this week, Miller returned to Instagram and posted a photo of the sun glaring over the ocean with a cryptic quote attributed to French philosopher Albert Camus. Candice Miller was saddled with her late husband Brandon Miller's nearly $33.6 million debt following his death. Bre Johnson/ / Shutterstock 'In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,' the caption read. 'And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger – something better, pushing right back.' Miller's husband Brandon, a high-profile New York real estate developer, poisoned himself in the garage of their Hamptons home over the 4th of July weekend last year as he secretly battled a mountain of debt totaling $33.6 million. At the time of his death, the 44-year-old had just $8,000 in the bank. After Brandon's death, Miller sold their Hamptons estate for $12.8 million and resettled with her two daughters in Miami, Florida, where she is working on rebuilding her life.

Mary Fowler dream shattered as Panthers handed huge news about Nathan Cleary
Mary Fowler's dream about starting a big family has been dealt a blow, with reports her boyfriend Nathan Cleary has no interest in quitting the NRL to move overseas. The Penrith Panthers star has consistently been linked with a move to play in Europe to be closer to the Matildas fan favourite, who is based in England and plays for Manchester City. Rumours have been rife for months that Cleary might switch to the English Super League in the near future to be closer to Fowler. And Wallabies legend Tim Horan suggested Cleary was considering a switch to rugby union after hearing whispers that the four-time premiership winner was "quite keen" to leave the NRL for the 15-man game. Another former Wallaby, Morgan Turinui, appeared to add credence to the story by insisting "there is interest on both sides". But veteran sports journalist Andrew Webster revealed on his 'Off the Record' Podcast with Phil 'Buzz' Rothfield, that Cleary's father and coach Ivan, plus manager George Mimis, both dismissed the reports as 'bulls**t'. "I spoke to George Mimis (Cleary's manager) and Ivan Cleary and Ivan told me he'd spoken to Nathan and they both said it's absolute bulls**t," Webster declared. "Nathan had said to Ivan 'there's nothing in it' and Ivan said to me he's been getting text messages and calls about this sort of stuff around Nathan leaving for about six months. "I spoke to Mimis and he says he hasn't had a discussion with any rugby union club, anywhere in the world." Rothfield said he also found the speculation around Cleary's future ridiculous, amid warnings about interest from overseas rugby clubs and suggestions Fowler wanted Cleary to be closer to her in England. "People that are saying that clearly have no idea what Nathan Cleary is about," Webster continued. "They clearly don't understand what a competitor he is and how professional he is. He's not about to go and cash a cheque in French rugby, which is basically a part-time comp in comparison to rugby league. "Everyone thinks that he's going to move over and be closer to Mary Fowler so he's been linked to the English Super League, to Perth, now to French rugby or European rugby. It's all bulls**t. That said though, if I'm (Rugby Australia CEO) Phil Waugh I'm having a crack to get him. He'd be the perfect convert." RELATED: Rival NRL club responds as Craig Bellamy tipped for shock switch Knights urged to backflip on brutal call to part ways Origin hero Door ajar for Reece Walsh as Ponga on cusp of State of Origin ban The latest development around Cleary would appear to put Fowler's dreams of starting a family firmly on the backburner. Fowler and Cleary both have three siblings each and speaking on the 'Keegan and Company' podcast with former NRL player Keegan Hipgrave this week, the Matildas star said she has a burning desire to start "a big family" of her own one day. 'The only dream I have at the moment is to be a mum and have heaps of kids and be in a space where they can play outside a lot," she said. "We can do the gardening and feed the animals together and to be able to run wild in the place; be in the mud. If I had the set-up for that, it would be a dream. 'I would love to have two or three kids of my own and then adopt. I don't know how many I would adopt, it's a long process. But in an ideal world I would like to adopt siblings. I would bring all of them into the home. 'The dream would definitely have a lot of outdoor space because I would love to have lots of animals... I really want to have a whole range of animals. It's very random and I'm trying to convince Nath that it would be a good idea. I really want to get a cow, some little goats, maybe a pig, some geese and I also really want to get a Great Dane.'

Enhancing Your Home Décor with Jacquard Chenille Curtains: A Blend of Elegance and Comfort
Introduction Curtains have an uncanny ability to transform a room's ambiance, and when those curtains are made from jacquard chenille, the effect is even more pronounced. A jacquard chenille curtain combines intricate weaving with a plush texture, elevating both style and comfort. Whether you're refreshing a cozy living room corner or updating your bedroom's look, these curtains offer a timeless appeal that feels anything but ordinary. In this post, we'll explore why jacquard chenille curtains are worth considering, how to choose the perfect pattern and offer practical tips for installation and care, all without sounding like a hard sell. Think of this as a friendly guide to help you fall in love with your window treatments all over again. Understanding Jacquard Chenille Fabric At its most basic, chenille is a fabric characterized by an incredibly soft feel and a velvet-like texture. The very word 'chenille' is derived from 'caterpillar' in French, which alludes to the yarn's fuzzy appearance. 'Jacquard,' on the other hand, refers to a type of weaving that allows intricate patterns to be woven directly into the textile from the loom rather than being dyed or embroidered afterward. When these two factors are combined, they create a fabric that is both rich in texture and adorned with intricate, eye-catching designs. One mix that often works well is 55% cotton and 45% polyester, which gives you the best of both worlds: The cotton provides breathability and a natural hand feel. Polyester, however, helps make the fabric more durable, helping it hold its shape. This blend guarantees a jacquard chenille curtain, once washed, will still be soft and cozy, like new and an investment that offers value and warmth for years to come. Benefits of Jacquard Chenille Curtains Visual Interest and Depth One of the first things you'll notice about Jacquard Chenille is the way light plays across its surface. The raised patterns cast subtle shadows, and the plush pile catches highlights, giving your windows an almost three-dimensional quality. This depth can turn a plain wall into a focal point without overwhelming other décor elements. Insulation and Light Control Because chenille tends to be thicker than standard cotton or polyester curtains, these panels often provide better insulation. In cooler months, that extra layer can help keep drafts at bay; in warmer months, it can slightly reduce heat transfer from the sun. While they won't replace heavy blackout drapes in a media room, they do offer a noticeable improvement over sheer or lightweight options when it comes to blocking stray light. Running your hand along a jacquard chenille panel is like discovering your favorite sweater in curtain form. The pile is gentle enough to feel almost velvety, which results in a more luxurious overall appearance. This tactile quality can enhance a reading nook or bedroom by making the space feel cozier at a glance without requiring extra pillows or throw blankets. Thanks to the polyester component, jacquard chenille tends to resist crushing and fading better than 100% cotton. Most manufacturers recommend a gentle machine wash cycle, followed by a low-tumble dry setting. Avoiding high heat helps preserve both the fabric's texture and its vibrant pattern over time. Shake them out occasionally to remove dust, and they'll continue to drape beautifully. Choosing the Right Pattern and Color Jacquard chenille curtains are available in a variety of patterns, ranging from traditional damasks to more contemporary geometric designs. Here are a few things to think about when choosing yours: In a smaller or darker space, lighter hues like champagne or a soft beige can also reflect the natural and artificial light in your space, making it feel airier.' If you have plenty of natural light and are looking for a one-statement piece, opt for richer shades like burgundy or navy, which add depth without crowding the space. For a classic or transitional space with panache, try patterns like brocades or flora-inspired jacquards. If your home leans more towards a modern look, consider incorporating geometric or abstract designs, as well as contemporary furniture lines. One example in real life: A friend of mine combined a set of champagne-toned jacquard chenille panels with a faint trellis pattern with minimalist white walls sprinkled with a handful of brass accents. The effect was serene yet refined; no further wall art was necessary. Matching with the Furniture and the Accessories Because jacquard chenille is textured by nature, it's best to keep it in check by pairing it with furniture that has quieter lines, which won't compete for visual attention. If you already have patterned upholstery, consider a jacquard-chenille curtain with a reduced-scale pattern or a tone-on-tone weave to maintain unity. In spaces where everything else is neutral, you can make the curtains the 'hero' by choosing a bolder pattern. Patterns One Can Consider For those who like to have options at their disposal, curtain5com has the following jacquard chenille patterns to choose from: Bordeaux: A rich, wine-stained color with a complex floral or vine pattern. Cadillac: A mid-tone gray or slate and large-scale geometric pattern. Champagne: Light, with a subtle damask that flatters in brighter rooms. Manhattan: Usually charcoal or graphite and with a modern interpretation of classical scrollwork. Vermont: Warm neutrals with low-key stripes or texture, perfect for casual, rustic spaces. Installation and Practical Tips Rod Pockets vs Grommets vs Tiebacks They are pocket curtains, which means you slide the curtain rod through the 3-inch pocket or hole for a gathered, more formal look. While this technique will conceal the rod completely (with no visible rod at the top edge), you may discover that the gathering can be a bit bulkier in terms of depth inside the pleat(s) when using heavyweight fabrics. This can impact the width at which your panels hang. If you want a crisply pleated look, consider using pleating hooks or clip rings instead. Either one will fit on most rods and can make a jacquard chenille panel look more substantial. Many jacquard chenille sets also come with tiebacks. Use them to tie back the curtains during the day and let in natural light. I have seen them, for example, teamed with wooden rods and finials for a homey, cottage-like vibe. Pulling back these tiebacks emphasizes the fabric's texture, rendering it an active element of the room's decor even when the window isn't completely covered. Measuring for a Proper Fit For full coverage and a nice drape, measure the width and height of your window and add 4–8 inches on each side of the window so that they can be pushed as far away from the glass as possible. Height-wise, floor-grazing panels (with barely half an inch of clearance) lend a polished feel. A good rule of thumb is that the fabric, when completed, should be 1.5 to 2 times the width of the window for a nice fullness. If you relish the idea of having some privacy but still covet natural light, try a loofer (sheer) behind your jacquard chenille curtain. During the day, pull the chenille to one side and allow the sheers to filter the sunlight. Come in the evening; the chenille blocks out more light for a sounder sleep or a cozier vibe. This layered look is particularly popular in homes near the coast, where soft light plays a key role in creating a cheery, beach-inspired vibe. Caring for Your Curtains Shake the panels out frequently to release dust and retain the plush pile. Vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and low power can also minimize the level of dust or dirt that is exposed to the fabric. With those textured weaves, chenille being one of them, which can trap dust more easily than smoother weaves, a little bit of maintenance can go a long way Most jacquard chenille curtains are machine-washable, in a gentle or delicate cycle, anyway. You'll find it's the perfect accessory to help protect both color and texture. Never use bleach or caustic cleaners. Shake out the panels after washing to eliminate wrinkles, and hang them to air-dry right away. Tip: If you choose to machine-dry your curtains, select the lowest heat setting possible and remove the curtains while they're still slightly damp to prevent over-drying and damaging the pile. The chenille side should never be ironed directly, as the heat may cause the fibers to flatten and ruin the texture. And if you find some wrinkles, a handheld steamer , held a couple of inches from the fabric, can do magic. The team works out the weave without a hit of direct heat, reviving that plush quality.' Use a clean cloth and a drop of mild detergent to blot the stain for minor spills. Don't rub hard — that can help the stain penetrate and damage the tufted pile. When a more severe spill occurs, clean it up as soon as possible and have the carpet professionally cleaned if the spot does not disappear. Examples from Real Life and Styling Ideas Imagine a living room with bright white walls and a beige couch. With the addition of champagne-colored jacquard chenille curtains, you introduce a warm, golden light that instantly makes the room feel warmer. Add a few throw pillows in coordinating shades, such as muted golds or pale grays, and you've achieved a calm, unified look that doesn't require additional decorating. It doesn't take much for a guest bedroom to feel welcoming. Hang two panels in a rich Bordeaux pattern of deep wine tones set against a low-contrast damask behind a bed dressed in crisp white linens. The texture of the curtain acts as a built-in built-in headboard, framing the bed without the added blockage of furniture or wall treatment. Please ensure the panels hang an extra couple of inches beyond the window so that we can maximize the appearance of both the window and the space. For those with decorative high ceilings, opt for a pair of charcoal Manhattan-patterned jacquard chenille panels to introduce a touch of theatrical flair. Suspend them with rings on a decorative rod that extends almost to the ceiling, allowing the curtains to pool on the floor. Pair with a dark-wood dining table, neutral-upholstered chairs, and gleaming touches in your centerpiece, and it will leave a lasting impression. Home offices can sometimes feel sterile , but a couple of Vermont-patterned panels can help soften the look with some gentle stripes of taupe and cream. It has a tasteful texture that helps disguise any glare on screens yet still feels professional. Close the curtains if you work late, so there will be fewer distractions and a clearer professional setting. Conclusion When you choose a jacquard chenille curtain to enhance your living spaces at home, you're not just selecting something to cover a window; you're selecting texture, depth, and personality for your rooms. From the velvet touch of the chenille pile to the depth of the jacquard designs, these curtains can't help but bring a touch of luxury to your home. Go with a soft Champagne color to liven up a tiny space, a bold Bordeaux to ground a formal one, and you'll find that these are some of the most easy-to-live-with panels around. For those who are not ready to do a whole lot with jacquard chenille curtains, don't worry. The simple addition or exchange of your current curtains can change the way the room feels, from how it greets the morning light to the way it feels when you pull them closed in the golden-drenched dusk. And let's say you're interested in where to begin. If that's the case, then what retailers, such as OJCommerce, sometimes stock a curated, small collection of jacquard chenille options in several patterns and colors to suit different tastes? Bear in mind that precise measurement, clever layering, and regular maintenance are your friends when it comes to ensuring those curtains look their best. Savor the soft, plush feel and enjoy the intricate designs as you take pride in your beautiful windows, draped in elegance and comfort, for years to come. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
