Dubai man hangs a Ferrari from his ceiling and calls it his 'new chandelier'!
Dubai has always been associated with luxury, wealth and people's flamboyant choices. Recently, a Dubai-based entrepreneur and content creator caught everyone's attention with an extraordinary home decoration idea with a unique chandelier. This choice quickly went viral, also giving rise to safety concerns. Dubai content creator's unusual chandelier Mohamed Beiraghdary, known as MoVlogs on social media, teamed up with the group @ to create his 'new chandelier.' Which is the centerpiece of his home decor. His chandelier comes in the form of a Ferrari-style jet car worth about $5,00,000, roughly ₹4.3 crore, hanging from his ceiling. The Instagram video shows the car being carefully lifted and installed in his home, making it extremely unique for the viewers online. Social media reactions The video quickly amassed over 23 million views and 800,000 likes, getting appreciation and criticism. While many praised the uniqueness of turning a luxury car into a statement piece, others seemed to be unsure about it and its authenticity. Some viewers believe the car might be a model or replica worth much less, somewhere around $50,000, instead of a full-priced Ferrari. One user commented, 'It's not even that. It's just a model... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo if he paid 500k for a fiberglass body, he got ripped off.' Some users were also concerned, even expressing concern about safety l, especially during events like earthquakes, saying that the car might even end up falling. Some users also criticised the car by calling it a mere toy, 'Looks horrible, like a plastic toy hanging. Should've got a crashed one and turned that into a chandelier,' reflected a mix of humor and criticism. This is not the first time that a car has been put to use bizarrely This flashy chandelier isn't the first time luxury cars have been a part of the luxurious Dubai lifestyle. Previously, an Indian businessman based in Dubai had gifted his one-year-old daughter a custom-made Rolls-Royce. What really stole hearts, though, was that the car's nameplate read, 'Congratulations, Isabella,' referring to the little girl. On the floor of the car, a small note revealed the special effort behind the gift: the car had been custom-made in England for the toddler and then shipped to the UAE just for the occasion. To top it off, the plush seats inside were monogrammed with Isabella's initials, adding a sweet and elegant finishing touch.

Denmark's Princess Isabella could move to Australia after pal Princess Ingrid-Alexandra of Norway confirms Sydney move
Princess Isabella of Denmark is reportedly considering a move to her mother's native Australia just months after another major royal revealed plans to move to Sydney. Isabella, who recently marked her milestone 18th birthday, is the elder daughter of King Frederik and Aussie-born Queen Mary. According to Danish tabloid Billed Bladet, the Princess is reportedly considering moving to Mary's native Australia to study or enjoy a gap year before commencing royal duties and completing military service. 'There may be a possibility that Princess Isabella will follow in her mother's footsteps,' the outlet revealed on Tuesday. Isabella is widely tipped to take on full royal duties in future in support of her parents and later her brother Crown Prince Christian. The Danish Princess knows Australia well and has enjoyed many family holidays in her mother's native Tasmania. Meanwhile, her cousin Count Nikolai of Monpezat studied for a semester at the University of Technology Sydney in 2023. The report comes months after it was confirmed Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexandra will move to Australia in August to begin a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. 'Her Royal Highness Princess Ingrid Alexandra will begin her studies at the University of Sydney in August, enrolling in a Bachelor of Arts program,' the Norwegian Palace said in a press release in May. It is understood Ingrid Alexandra and Isabella are close, with Isabella's father King Frederik serving as Ingrid Alexandra's godfather. Isabella's possible move down under would be only the latest in a long line of international royals who have completed part or all of their education in Australia. Thailand's reigning King Vajiralongkorn spent several years studying in Australia in the 1970s, while King Charles spent two terms at Geelong Grammar School in 1966. The report comes months after Isabella earned high praise in the Danish press after making her first major public speech during her birthday celebrations. Danish publication BT's entertainment editor Fie West praised the young royal for using humour to break the ice during the historic occasion. 'Princess Isabella shows great initiative by starting her very first official speech with a joke,' West said. 'She speaks into something that many Danes remember and have brought a smile to their faces, and it is extremely charming that she displays self-irony.'

Sozo Australia: The Aussie haircare brand born from a shock diabetes diagnosis — now loved by thousands
Sozo Australia is a haircare brand with a founder who knows all too well the struggles of hair loss firsthand. From July 13 to 19, Australia observes National Diabetes Week, a time to raise awareness of one of the country's most misunderstood chronic illnesses. For Isabella Charanduk, Founder of Sozo Australia, this week carries a deeply personal significance. Her own experience with an unexpected and life-threatening diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) changed the course of her life and led to the creation of an all-natural haircare range that is now transforming lives. In 2019, Isabella found herself in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), fighting for her life. She had developed Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), which is a serious and potentially fatal complication that often accompanies the initial onset of T1D when left undiagnosed. For two months prior, she had been unknowingly living with tell-tale symptoms of the autoimmune condition, unaware that her body was in crisis. 'I was extremely unwell and didn't know how close I was to serious, irreversible harm,' Isabella tells Best Picks. 'The symptoms were there, but I didn't recognise them for what they were.' Isabella's message today is simple but urgent: know the warning signs. The symptoms she experienced fall into a group commonly referred to as the four Ts: Tired: Experiencing extreme or unexplained fatigue. Thirsty: Excessive and unquenchable thirst. Toilet: Frequent urination, even during the night. Thinner: Sudden, unexplained weight loss. Type 1 Diabetes can strike anyone at any age, often without warning, and its early signs are too often mistaken or ignored. Following her diagnosis and recovery, Isabella faced a new challenge: telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair loss triggered by physical stress and illness. As she watched her hair thin and shed in alarming amounts, she began searching for solutions, but the products she found either contained harsh chemicals or failed to deliver real results. This search sparked an idea: to develop a truly natural, effective haircare range tailored to restoring and maintaining hair health. That idea became Sozo Hair Health, a line of high-performance, all-natural hair products manufactured on the Gold Coast and now loved by thousands across Australia and beyond. 'I didn't set out to start a business, ' Isabella explains. 'I just wanted to understand my own hair health and feel good again. But through that journey, I found a calling — to help others feel the same.' Sozo Hair Health products are crafted with ingredients that are not only natural but also scientifically supported. From aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to beetroot extract, finger lime, and hydrolysed quinoa, each product is designed to nourish the scalp and strengthen the hair, without compromising on performance. Other potent botanicals like green tea and lavender oil are carefully selected to soothe the scalp, reduce inflammation, support hair growth, and boost shine — naturally. 'I noticed the difference in my hair, after just one week using these products,' one impressed shopper wrote. 'My hair is so much softer and feels so much healthier after using this haircare,' another person added. 'My hair is loving this, so much shinier and amazing results,' a third reviewer commented.

The Toy Box: Dinosaurs rule playtime with release of 'Jurassic World Rebirth'
The Toy Box is an occasional online exclusive column where we take a look at the latest in toys and collectibles out there. In case you haven't heard the roars, Jurassic World Rebirth is out in cinemas right now, and since there are few things kids (and grown-up kids) love more than dinosaurs, there are also a number of dinosaur-related toys being released at the same time. For today's edition of The Toy Box, we will be featuring a few items from Mattel's Jurassic World Rebirth range, as well as a few playsets from Lego's official Jurassic World Rebirth theme. Mattel's range of official Jurassic World toys have consistently been some of the most movie-accurate figures out there, combining high playability with some great depictions of the dinosaurs. The Rebirth range is no different, with toys ranging from high-detail dinosaur figures to imaginative playsets and action-ready characters. Mattel's dinosaur figures are known for their realistic sculpts and fun play features. The three sets Mattel sent us for review cover all the bases of a cool dinosaur range, from a really fun T-Rex mask, a cute little 'mascot' type figure, and last but not least, one of the largest dinosaur figures in the range. If you love dinosaurs, then you really can't go wrong with Mattel's Jurassic World action figures, and the Tail Thrasher Spinosaurus is no exception. The sculpt of the toy is excellent - with a menacing look complete with fearsome teeth (don't worry, they're made of rubber so, not sharp), and a solid body that comes with an impressive sail and tail combo. The Spinosaurus is suitable fearsome, and the play feature is fun as well. The 'button-activated dual attack' play feature is quite fun too - press it, and the Spinosaurus' tail swipes from side to side. The head does the same, but with an added chomping action that is quite cool. If you press it three times or more, the movements will continue on for a longer time. The electronic Primal Protector Aquilops is another fun toy. In the movie, one of the child characters, Isabella, befriends a little dinosaur called an Aquilops, which she names 'Dolores'. The Mattel Aquilops toy is actually pretty cute and has some fun play features as well. The toy has a few interactive play features, including a slider on its head which has a 'calming effect' on Dolores, giving her a more softened gaze and open mouth. It also has a tail activated 'protect' action mode – press down its hind legs, and press a button on the back, and the toy jumps forward. Do you have a kid who always likes to pretend he is a T-Rex? Well, now he or she can look like one while doing it, with the T-Rex Rage 'N Roar Mask, a fun role-playing mask for ages 6 and up. Get ready for a lot of T-Rex ambushes around the play area if you get this mask. — Photo: Mattel in its 'resting' state (meaning with no one wearing it), it already looks intimidating enough with its teeth, blinking eyes and soft growl sounds. Strap it on, however, and the playability increases, with a jaw-activated growl and light-up eyes. Building a (Jurassic) world Since we're on the subject of Dolores the Aquilops, Lego has also released a buildable figure of the cute little critter, which makes for a nice counterpart to the Mattel version. With only 339 pieces, the Lego Jurassic World Rebirth Baby Dinosaur Dolores: Aquilops is an easy enough set to assemble for kids, and can move its head, arms, legs and tail, allowing a range of fun poses. It also comes with a buildable plant. Lego's Aquilops figure is a little more fragile than Mattel's but is equally cute. — Photo: Lego The Baby Dolores model is one of six new Lego Jurassic World Rebirth sets released. The company started making Jurassic Park sets back in 2001 when Jurassic Park III was released, and were an instant hit thanks to the unique moulds of the dinosaurs featured in the movie. It was rebranded to Jurassic World in 2015, when the first movie of that name was released, and has remained a regular theme since then. The new Jurassic World Rebirth sets offer a diverse range of building experiences – from the aforementioned buildable Aquilops baby dinosaur, to recreations of the scenes from the new movie, with new figures of the dinosaurs ranging from the Spinosaurus to the gigantic Titanosarus, and a new T-Rex as well. It's not a Juurassic Park/World movie without a T-Rex, and the same goes for the toys. Speaking of which, it's not a Jurassic World movie without a T-Rex, and happily, Lego has also recreated the one in the new one through the T-Rex River Escape set. This set comes with a molded, fully articulated T. rex dinosaur, two minifigures – Teresa Delgado and Xavier Dobbs. The playset itself is a simple little build, with only 199 pieces that makes for a boat dock with a boat, and an ATV. The molded T-Rex is the highlight here though. Its movable arms, legs, head and jaw make for a fun figure to play with, and it's easily one of the best molded versions of the iconic dinosaur Lego have come up with so far. The Titanosaurus molded figure is one of the most impressive ones Leog has ever made. Another impressive dinosaur mold in this particular range is that of the Titanosaurus, from the Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission set. The Titanosaurus is one of the movie's biggest dinosaurs, and the molded figure captures the majesty of its long neck and tail perfectly. There's another molded figure included in this set – Velociraptor, so kids can use it to hunt for the characters in the playset's abandoned charging station build. There's also an off-road vehicle (hey, they need something fast to get away form the Velociraptor), and also minifigures of Zora Bennett, Martin Krebs and Dr. Henry Loomis. Quick! Get away from that raptor, Zora! Other sets in the new range include the smaller Raptor Off-Road Escape, the larger Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission (which comes with molded figures of both dinosaurs), and finally, the Brick-Built Mosasaurus Boat Mission, which, unlike the other sets, you have to build the Mosasurus itself.
