Sol de Janeiro fans are ‘obsessed' with latest addition to Cheirosa 62 range
The lotion has been praised for smelling 'divine' and being ideal for using in summertime Sol de Janeiro has come out with cult-classic fragrances for years, with many of them being dubbed 'scent of the summer', and its most famous is available now in a lotion. Cheirosa 62 is recognised in the beloved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - but the scent can now be found in the Body Badalada lotion. Priced at £32 on Sephora, the cream has a hydrating formula that uses hyaluronic acid, vitamin E-rich Brazil nut oil and vitamin K-rich cactus pear extract to keep skin soft. It is a thinner formula than the body butter consistency of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but some shoppers prefer this. Palmer's have a Brazilian Coco Cream that's been compared to the cult classic although it doesn't have the exact same scent, it's currently £12.99 at Superdrug. Meanwhile Treaclemoon's Brazilian Love Body Lotion, £4.25 at Tesco, has drawn in many comparisons to the cult classic scent. It's pulled in an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from 933 reviews. One shopper said: "I am obsessed with the original bum bum cream in the pot and regularly buy the refill pods. So when i found out they finally made a lotion format in a pump bottle with the same scent i had to try this. I love the light fluid consistency of this lotion, how easily it spreads, how super fast it absorbs and how it smells divine just like the original. It's perfect for the summer as it's very moisturising but so light and non sticky. I have repurchased another bottle already!" Another insisted it's been something they look forward to everyday, writing: "I was so excited to try the Sol Body Badalada Lotion, and it did not disappoint! It melts into the skin so quickly, leaving behind a silky-smooth finish without any greasiness. The hydration truly lasts all day, my skin feels soft, nourished, and completely pampered. And the scent? Absolutely addictive. That warm blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla is sweet, cosy, and lingers just enough to make you want to keep sniffing your skin. It's a daily indulgence I look forward to!" One shopper complained that it isn't moisturising enough and that they have to use it alongside more moisturising creams. They wrote: "It smells divine! However the hydration part is missing. I use this with my other actual hydrating lotions." One shopper insisted it's the best texture for the warmer months. They said: "This lotion is divine! The texture is rich but sinks in quickly, leaving my skin unbelievably soft and glowy. The scent is sweet, tropical, and totally addictive—like summer in a bottle. I've gotten compliments every time I wear it. Great for layering or wearing on its own. Hydration lasts all day without feeling greasy. Sol de Janeiro nailed it again!" Body Badalada Vitamin Infused Body Lotion can be bought for £32 on Sephora's website.

Uhhh, People Are Stuffing Plain Salad In Their Mouths
Let's be real. Everyone, me included, could do with more veggies in their daily diet. You can always just eat a side salad or throw a serving of broccoli into your weeknight pasta, but these routes require effort, planning, and dishes. Luckily, there's another way making its rounds on the internet (and no, it's not hidden spinach brownies). TikTok user Amy Garrett (@sahmthingsup) is the face of "Dinosaur Time," which might just be the single healthiest internet wellness hack you've ever heard of. Its sole purpose is to add a serving of vegetables to one's daily intake and have fun doing it — by acting like a dinosaur. Let me explain. Amy takes a moment out of her day right before lunchtime to open up a plastic box of salad greens, grab a giant handful, and go to town. It looks a little something like this: What started as a " lazy girl hack to get your greens in" has blossomed into a true internet phenomenon. Amy has been featured on NPR and made dozens of follow-up videos answering commenters' questions. She's also added the Jurassic Park theme music to her TikToks, of course. Amy described her sole purpose for Dinosaur Time in an FAQ video: mainly, to get more greens into her diet with the least hassle possible. She says she does it before she eats lunch so that she doesn't have to "pretend to like the taste" or go through the effort of incorporating a sufficient serving of veggies into her meal. She also says she doesn't add something like cheese or salad dressing for taste because her "brain is more focused on getting it down" (but to go for it if you want). Many people have said they're trying Dinosaur Time for themselves or doing it with their children. I figured adding more vegetables to your life couldn't possibly be a bad thing, but I wanted to get an expert's take on this nonetheless. BuzzFeed spoke with New York-based registered dietitian Esther Tambe, MS, RDN, CDN, CDCES about the potential benefits of Dinosaur Time and whether it's something people should think about trying for themselves. Esther told BuzzFeed she's "always concerned about TikTok nutrition trends, especially when advice comes from people without proper expertise," but generally supports people getting more vegetables in their diet. After all, only about 1 in 10 Americans eats the federally recommended 2+ cups of vegetables daily. But there are potential pitfalls, too. Esther says that you should consider any medications you might be taking, as some can react poorly with more vitamin K-rich greens in your diet (namely, the anticoagulant drug, Warfarin). She also said that for some gastrointestinal conditions that require less fiber intake, Dinosaur Time might not be a great idea; she recommends speaking with a dietitian "before making significant changes to your fiber intake to ensure it aligns with your personal health needs." Esther also has a gentle warning for those making it a family activity: "I've also seen this trend used to encourage kids to eat vegetables, which can make it fun, but it's important to consider how it might impact their relationship with food," Esther said. " Always consult a qualified professional to ensure a trend is right for your needs." Another creator, Jordynn Nicholson, has been on the handful-of-spinach train since at least last year. She had two videos go super viral a couple of months ago and hasn't slowed down taking what she calls her daily "vitamin." In one of her videos, Jordynn says she's doing it because she learned that the first thing you taste and digest "sets the tone for your cravings for the rest of the day." She proceeds to munch some salad mix straight from the strainer, followed by eggs, toast, and sausage. So, BuzzFeed also asked Esther whether there's any truth to the idea that the first thing you eat "sets your cravings." Her answer? Not really. "Nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens are high in fiber, which promotes fullness and satiety," she said. "However, this is not a guaranteed way to reduce cravings or make your food choices healthier throughout the day." The bottom line is that Esther "wouldn't necessarily recommend following" trends like Dinosaur Time, but does support eating more veggies in general. "Greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are great for boosting fiber and overall nutrition, but they're not the only vegetables that provide these benefits," she said. "If you're not a fan of spinach, don't feel like you have to force it down! Plenty of other vegetables can offer fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients," Esther said. She also emphasized that "nutrition is highly individualized" and that it can be confusing to understand how many servings of vegetables you should be eating. "A good guideline is to include at least one serving of vegetables and/or fruit (one cup raw or cooked) with each meal and snack. Aim to fill half your plate with vegetables or fruit, and vary your colors daily (green, orange, red, yellow, white, purple/blue)." So, friends, whether they're blended in a shake, dressed in a salad, or munched straight from the container — make like a dinosaur and eat your vegetables. Let me know how you're getting your greens in the comments.
