Stop potatoes from sprouting early with a 'life-changing' food storage hack
A TikTok user has shared a simple fruit and veg hack that will prevent your potatoes from sprouting prematurely - and all you need is a couple of common household fruits A savvy lifestyle guru has just dropped a bunch of game-changing fruit and veg tips on TikTok, including a nifty trick to keep your spuds from sprouting too soon. TikTok's @lifetips669 posted a video packed with top-notch advice that'll stretch the life of your market haul. "Vegetable vendors will never tell you these food storage tips," they claimed. They dished out a clever potato preservation hack, saying: "Potatoes bought in bulk go bad. Potatoes and apples are good friends. Storing them together prevents sprouting." Turns out, there's some solid science to this tip, as it seems to slow down the ripening of both. According to Tasting Table, apples give off ethylene gas, which can put the brakes on potatoes' eagerness to sprout. The site also suggests skipping the warm spots for potato storage, opting instead for somewhere "cool, dry and dark". But don't chuck them in the fridge; that could turn their starches to sugars, leading to potentially harmful chemicals when cooked. And here's a heads up – that same apple ethylene can wreak havoc on other produce like onions, melons, broccoli, and peaches, speeding up their ripening and reducing their shelf life. In a nifty trick, @lifetips669 on TikTok recommends stashing prawns in an empty mineral water bottle and filling it with tap water. "Tighten the cap and freeze it," they suggest. "This way it stays fresh for a year." The clever clogs behind the account also suggests dunking broccoli in water to extend its freshness and swears by keeping onions in tights to prolong their shelf life. Just like spuds, @lifetips669 points out that bananas bought in bulk often spoil quicker. They reckon wrapping cling film around the stem can keep them "still perfect" until you fancy a banana. TikTok users have been quick to show their appreciation, with one posting: "Wow I'm so encouraged and happy, thanks a lot for this info." Another chimed in: "Wow additional knowledge. Thanks for sharing the tips."

I swapped injections for ‘Botox in a bottle' that costs less than a tenner – and you can buy it in Boots
A WOMAN has shared the cheap buy that acts like 'Botox' with no injections. Nina, from the UK, took to social media to share the beauty item that many say gets rid of wrinkles overnight. 3 BUY NOW In the clip, she said: "Big claims, but they call this Botox in a bottle. "They launched it on TikTok and it sold out within a week." The TikTok package comes with two products from The Ordinary, their Matrixyl 10% solution and the Argireline. This lightweight Matrixyl serum helps reduce the appearance of static and dynamic wrinkles and helps boost collagen. The Argireline solution lessens facial tension, relaxing and smoothing out skin to get rid of wrinkles. The product costs just £9.20 from Boots and is also available on TikTok shop. "I'm no stranger to Botox, but if you don't want needles in your face, this is definitely a great alternative," she explained. She shared her review on her TikTok account @ justnina_official which went viral with over 5,000 likes. But Nina isn't the only person who loves the Argireline solution. On the Boots website, the product has rave reviews from customers. 4 ways to banish wrinkles WITHOUT Botox or fillers One person wrote: "I have been using this for about 6 months. It has really made a difference in the"11" lines between my brows, they're barely visible now." Another commented: "After just a couple weeks I could see a difference in my forehead! Wonderful product!" "I've been using this product for about a month now and absolutely love the way it makes my skin look and feel. It has definitely softened out my fine lines on my forehead," penned a third. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This lightweight serum is like Botox in a bottle — no needles needed. I've been using it on my forehead + around the eyes, and the fine lines are noticeably softer." "Such an amazing product. Made my skin so smooth in just 2 weeks. No wonder it's Botox in a bottle,' claimed a fifth

Woman who lost 7st in just 10 months WITHOUT Mounjaro reveals how she did it
A woman has revealed how she lost seven stone in ten months without the help of weight-loss drug Mounjaro. British mother Lucy took to her TikTok @lucy52915 to showcase her impressive weight loss journey - and share her three top tips for shedding the pounds. The clip, which racked up over 840,000 views, left many of her followers totally stunned with her transformation. Taking to the comments to answer some questions, Lucy revealed that she started her fitness journey on September 1, 2024. Lucy attributes her weight loss to three healthy habits, which are eating in a calorie deficit, walking 10,000 steps a day and weight lifting. She revealed that she makes sure to consume 180g of protein every day, as well as 27g to 30g of fibre. When it comes to walking, the fitness fanatic stressed the importance of doing 10,000 steps every single day. Meanwhile, she revealed she works out four times a week, doing 'two glute-focused sessions, one full body and one upper body' gym session. She also credited 'consistency' for her slimmer frame and 'progressive overload' which is a training principle where you gradually increase the demands on your body during exercise to stimulate continued improvement in strength, muscle growth, and endurance. Less than a year since she started her health and fitness journey, Lucy has now reached her goal weight and claimed she doesn't want to lose any more. Many flooded the comments to praise Lucy on her transformation, while others eagerly asked for tips on how to kick-start their own weight loss journeys. One person wrote: 'Wow you look amazing!! Have you got any advice as I really struggle with a calorie deficit, can't explain it but it just makes me eat so unhealthily. 'But at the same time don't want to go back to slimming world and pay the expensive fees' added the individual. To which Lucy replied: 'Do the deficit but focus on protein! I eat 180g a day and 27-30g fibre! Then weight training and 10,000 steps a day. Keep going girl.' Another asked: 'Can I ask what weight training you did please, you really got it right you look very toned. You look amazing by the way. Well done - this isn't easy to do.' To which Lucy replied: 'Four times a week. Two glutes focused sessions and one full body and one upper.' Many flooded the comments to praise Lucy on her transformation, while others eagerly asked for tips on how to kick-start their own weight loss journeys Someone else added: 'Mounjarno is amazing'. To which Lucy replied: 'No Mounjarno for me! I'm still breastfeeding so can't! Calories deficit, walking and weight lifting.' A fourth person said in the comment section: 'Well done you look like a different person, taken years off you.' Another individual added: 'It's nice to see a success story without any jabs. Well done! Inspiring for me to do more. I've lost 10lb since mid May on calorie deficit.'
