Halle Berry is busy ‘cooking, cleaning and mothering' in a picture perfect response
Halle Berry turned 59 this week and she threw a bit of shade while showing off some sunny vacation photos. The actress and director posted a series of pictures on her verified Instagram account, which show her enjoying time with her family, her boyfriend, singer Van Hunt, and some chocolate cake. But it was the caption that caught some people's attention. 'Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering,' the caption reads. It appeared to be a response to recent comments made by her ex-husband, former professional baseball player, David Justice. Justice, who was married to the Oscar winning actress from 1993 to 1997, appeared on a recent episode of the 'All the Smoke' podcast, where he shared why he believed things didn't work out between them. 'I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'' Justice said. 'And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem motherly—and then we start having issues.' Berry did eventually become a mom. She shares daughter Nahla, 17, with ex-boyfriend, model and actor Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert, 11, with ex-husband, actor Olivier Martinez.

13 Unwritten Rules to Know Before Visiting Italy
If you can't roll your spaghetti onto a fork, forget the noodle entirely and opt for a short pasta. Alexander Spatari/Getty Pasta basics Rolling spaghetti onto your fork takes some practice, but not much. A word of advice: Rather than cutting your pasta into smaller bites, you can choose a 'short' pasta, such as penne, tortiglioni, and conchiglie, which are easier to eat with a fork. Remember that pasta should be eaten al dente. That's not simply a rule invented by connoisseurs. Overcooked pasta is harder to digest. Once you get into the al dente habit, there's no going back. No cappuccinos in the afternoon, and other notes on coffee culture Coffee is serious business in Italy. It doesn't require too many modifications or variations. For an Italian, visiting Starbucks, with its ten different types of milks and long menu, can be overwhelming. Why not order as an Italian would, starting your day with a cappuccino, macchiato, or deca (decaf). In Milan you may hear marocchino, or Moroccan, used for what is known in other parts of the country as an espressino. It's just common slang in that hospitable city and there's no bigger significance to the name. In any case, the drink consists of coffee and a little foamed milk, poured in layers, with a generous sprinkling of cocoa. If you need caffeine in the afternoon, order caffè, which for us is espresso. You can say caffè corto, caffè lungo, caffè macchiato… but you never say espresso. We don't like taking our coffee to go as a rule because then it takes on the flavor of its paper cup and tastes like cardboard, and instead we generally drink it at a counter. If you drop by a nice bakery for breakfast in the morning, remember not to linger too long (an exception to the lingering rule!) because there is someone behind you waiting for their turn at the counter. Abide the meal schedule Although things are changing in some tourist cities, kitchens in Italy are rarely open around the clock. Instead lunch will typically be served until about 3 p.m. and dinner service will run until 10 or 10:30 p.m. Between meals there are bakeries, gelaterias, and cafés to choose from if you need a snack to tide you over until your next meal. Gelato makes for a good snack between sit-down meal times. maroznc/Getty If you're buying glass, try to make sure it's been made on the island of Murano. rudigobbo/Getty Souvenir wisely Cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence are plagued by mass tourism, the physical effects of which can be difficult to avoid. Stores and stalls selling cheap souvenirs have proliferated. In a country where craftsmanship is still widespread and often excellent, there are still plenty of opportunities to find unique items. For example, the cheap glass animals you'll find for sale in stalls around Venice's Rialto Bridge are not made on the island of Murano, a famous center for artisanal glass, but instead imported from countries where cheap labor is common. It's worth the effort to get off the beaten path and explore workshops where every handcrafted piece is unique. Tea towels and slippers, leather bags hung in bunches, and plastic religious icons really do nothing to support the cities where they are sold and they contribute to a trade that is neither fair nor ethical. Most people will tip around 5% of the bill, up to a maximum of 10%. Unlike in the United States, tipping is not essential because waiters are adequately compensated by their salaries, although they are not opposed to a little extra if you are so inclined. Many people will leave almost nothing beyond some change. If you leave too much, you'll be considered a bit of a fool. Lower your volume In general, you may want to speak more softly. Yes, we Italians often speak loudly and in this we are similar to Americans. But when visiting monuments and other sites, talk more quietly and you'll blend in. A note about speaking English English is now the de facto language of travelers. You're lucky that almost anywhere you go, you can speak your own language. Almost everyone around the world uses it, understands it, or at least strives to do so. But because accents vary, it is not a given that everyone will understand you with ease. If you express yourself in simpler English, speak slowly, and avoid idioms or acronyms, you'll find it easier to communicate. And some thoughts about Italian too Have some fun and try to speak some Italian. We love it when people try, even if they make some mistakes. If there is anything that differentiates us from the French, it is this. Don't speak Spanish, though, please. We are two different countries and while we love each other, we are both proud of our differences. So it sounds strange when Americans speak Spanish (often poorly) thinking it is close enough to Italian.

How Europe's Castle Hotels Are Going Green While Keeping History Alive
Ireland's National Heritage Week kicks off on August 16, offering free entry to more than 70 normally fee-paying historic sites. The week-long celebration is a timely reminder to think about how to keep heritage alive—no small task in a country with an estimated 30,000 castles and castle ruins. But Ireland is far from unique. From the United Kingdom to France and much of Europe, castles stand as symbols of history. Each one of them is facing the challenge of preserving the past while adapting to the future. But some have found new life as hotels aligning with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's cultural heritage criteria, which call for safeguarding historic sites while ensuring they remain relevant for future generations. Could these historic fortresses turned luxury hotels prove that preservation and sustainability can truly go hand in hand? Breaking the Myths About Historic Buildings And Sustainability One of the biggest misconceptions about historic buildings is that they can't be sustainable or meet modern needs, says Gerard Moylan, director of facilities and sustainability at Cashel Palace Hotel in County Tipperary, Ireland, in an email interview. "Many see historic buildings as inherently unsustainable, believing demolition and new construction to be greener options," he says, but adds that restoring listed properties does demand meticulous planning, specialised expertise and significant investment, which many are not willing or able to undertake. 'It is true that upgrading a historic monument is significantly more expensive than working with a newly built hotel,' said Stéphanie Gombert, owner of Château de la Treyne, a 5-star hotel in France overhanging the Dordogne river, in an email interview. However, she believes that every hotelier can make efforts toward sustainability in their own way. Hotel manager, Adriaan Bartels, points to the nearby Rock of Cashel as an example of what happens when a site is left to battle the elements on its own. In an email interview, he explained that the roof of the historic church was removed to build a 'new' church, a move that will accelerate the original structure's decay. But Bartels insists on the importance of preserving cultural heritage, pointing to Cashel Palace as proof that castle hotels can do it sustainably. Another misconception, says Dónal Cox, general manager of Lough Eske Castle in County Donegal, is that any sustainable upgrade will ruin the character of the historic building. However, "with the right expertise and sensitivity, it's entirely possible to enhance efficiency without compromising heritage value. Sustainability in these settings isn't about high-tech overhauls, but about thoughtful, incremental change," Cox said. From Ireland's castle hotels to France's châteaux, the challenge is the same. Monique Pignet, owner of Château de Candes notes in an email interview, 'In our case, Château de Candes was a love-at-first-sight moment, a spontaneous desire to restore, protect and share something beautiful. We spent six years renovating it, working hand-in-hand with over a hundred local artisans and artists.' But she adds, "Many people glamorize those who buy a château, but few realize how much work and grit go into turning them into polished gems. It is a commitment to heritage, with countless constraints and responsibilities." How Hotels Going Green While Honoring Heritage Adrian Mooney, sales director at Kilkea Castle in County Kildare, noted in an email interview that the Castle, built in 1180, is a protected structure under Irish law, meaning a designated authority must approve every change. However, "small changes can make a big difference, and we have been implementing ways to be more sustainable for years," Mooney said. One of the most impactful upgrades in Kilkea Castle has been a cutting-edge building management system that monitors heat across the property and alerts the team to any issues, saving energy and costs. He also shared plans to tap into geothermal energy, aiming to have the system in place by next fall. "Many older properties were originally designed with sustainable features such as passive ventilation, natural lighting, and thicker walls that help regulate temperature," said Raymond Duncan, group compliance, operations & procurement manager at Hasting Hotels, in an email interview. Once the palace of the Bishop of Down, Culloden Estate & Spa in Belfast, Northern Ireland (part of Hasting Hotels), channels its historic strengths into modern sustainability. Sensitive retrofitting includes a unit that generates electricity while capturing waste heat to provide thermal energy, all without altering the building's character. Going green requires creative thinking and less invasive solutions said Cox about Lough Eske Castle 'like switching to green energy suppliers, discreetly upgrading internal systems, and focusing on behavioural and operational efficiencies. These changes may not be as visible as new technology, but they make a real impact.' Fiona O'Shea Stack, health, safety, and sustainability officer at Dromoland Castle, also agreed with the above. "It is about finding solutions that respect our 500-year history without compromising progress," she said in an email interview. She pointed to a 36% reduction in food waste through a high-efficiency composter and team-wide training as a simple but impactful measure to keep the footprint of Dromoland Castle low and its grounds thriving. Cashel Palace Hotel also implemented a composting system to manage the food waste from its Michelin-starred restaurant, The Bishop's Buttery, but both Bartels and Moylan agree that the sustainability achievement they are most proud of is the installation of the Cashel Palace Beehives in partnership with Galtee Honey Farm and the Native Irish Honey Bee Society to restore the native Irish Bee to its rightful place in Ireland. This project underscores a broader truth that sustainability isn't just about energy efficiency or waste reduction. It is also about supporting environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic development within the local community. It is a philosophy shared well beyond Ireland. "Château de Candes actively supports local wine producers," said Pignet. "We even have a wine cellar on site, featuring an exclusive selection of wines from the region. At our restaurant Le Baladin, we proudly source ingredients from nearby farms and artisans, including goat cheese, mushrooms, and truffles," she added. From Ireland to France and beyond, these historic hotels prove that heritage preservation and sustainability work best as partners. By aligning with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's cultural heritage criteria, they protect history without freezing it in time and deliver modern comfort without draining resources.
