Beauty fan shares simple way to get free 45-minute facials
A social media user impressed skincare fans after showcasing the free treatment she received A shopper has wowed social media users after she shared a video praising the free facial she received at a beauty counter. The shopper's video showcasing her skincare treatment seriously impressed viewers, as many had not heard of the free service before. The recommendation was shared by TikTok user Rachel Marshall, who posts online as @rachellmarshalll. According to her videos, the blogger books a monthly free facial at Sheffield's Meadowhall shopping centre. In a recent video, she enjoyed a "pamper" session at a Clinique beauty counter and loved her experience. Rachel told viewers: "I've just arrived at Meadowhall for another free facial. "This time we're at Clinique. We are at their flagship counter in Boots, and I'm being hosted by the wonderful Julia and Lori." She continued: "I was blown away with my experience today. When beauty feels more high tech than a chuffin iPhone you know you're at Clinique." Narrating her video, she said: "Firstly this machine analysed my face, which then brought up specific product recommendations that aligned with my skincare goals that I had talked through with Lori. "They also had this fancy foundation tester, and then my face got vacuumed. This machine was like a little magic Henry Hoover for your face. Oh my goodness, how satisfying watching that tube fill up with absolute filth. Then it was "time for a proper pamper," according to Rachel, who tested Clinique's skincare products. While there's no obligation to buy, she did make a purchase. "This is the first time I've ever tried any of Clinique's skincare, and I was really impressed. I know that it's gonna sit really well on my skin cause it's fragrance free, and I've got quite sensitive skin, so I did buy a product, and Lori gave me some goodies very kindly," the shopper shared. "I'll do another video talking through everything that I got, just bear with me a minute because I'm being transported to heaven with these tools that Lori is using on my face. It was so refreshing and so relaxing. The glow after this facial was insane." In the comment section of the video, Rachel explained she tried Clinique's Quick Clarifying Facial, which is available at select counters and booked via the brand's website. As per Clinique's website, the free 45-minute service offers a "gentle treatment that cleanses and exfoliates removing dead skin cells, dirt, oil and debris." Other services include a free 20-minute makeup consultation, a free 20-minute skin consultation, and a series of appointments with a clinical skin coach. Rachel's video amazed viewers who didn't know about the service. Responding to the post, which racked up 20,000 views, someone replied: "How do you book all these facials?! I'm DESPERATE to try!!" Another viewer said: "Neeeeeed pampering to be fair, can't remember the last time I had any kind of treatment beyond a haircut!" A third response added: "Booking yet another one! Woohoo! Keep this up love all these new freebies I'm having."

‘Doomsday mom' Lori Vallow Daybell sentenced to two more life terms in Arizona for murder plots
Lori Vallow Daybell , known as the 'Doomsday Mom,' was sentenced on Friday to two additional life sentences in Arizona after being found guilty of planning the murders of her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. This marks a major step in a long legal case involving crimes linked to the deadly effects of her extreme cult-like beliefs , including her view that people around her were possessed by evil spirits. Lori is already serving multiple life sentences in Idaho for the 2019 murders of her two youngest children, Joshua 'JJ' Vallow (7) and Tylee Ryan (16), and for the murder of her husband Chad Daybell 's former wife, Tammy Daybell.

Months later, she also plotted to kill Brandon Boudreaux, but that attack failed and he survived. Lori's brother, Alex Cox , admitted killing Charles Vallow and is believed to have been the shooter in the attack on Boudreaux. Cox died before he could be charged for these crimes. Judge Justin Beresky criticized Lori's complete lack of concern for human life and the damage her actions caused across several states including Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, and Idaho. He ordered that her new life sentences be served one after the other, and in addition to her Idaho sentences, meaning she will never be released from prison. The judge rejected her claims that the trial was unfair. During sentencing, Lori, who represented herself without a lawyer, complained about the justice system and jail conditions but did not show any remorse. She tried to call the murders a 'family tragedy,' but prosecutors and the judge dismissed this as false because the crimes were planned and deliberate. Live Events 'If I were accountable for these crimes, I would acknowledge and let you know how sorry I was,' she said. This sentence adds to Lori's convictions across state lines and shows. Her husband, Chad Daybell, who married Lori weeks after their spouses and children died, is now on death row for his role in these murders. After the sentencing in Arizona, Lori is expected to be sent back to Idaho to continue serving her life sentences for the earlier murders. This case remains one of the most tragic examples in recent U.S. history of violence driven by doomsday beliefs.

Native Hawaii man to be resentenced in hate crime against a white man he beat with a shovel
A native Hawaiian man serving time for brutally beating a white man with a shovel over a decade ago will be resentenced and could be hit with additional years in prison after his appeal of his hate crime conviction was rejected. Kaulana Alo-Kaonohi, 35, was originally sentenced to six-and-a-half years by a Honolulu judge alongside Levi Aki Jr, another Native Hawaiian man, after a jury found them both guilty of the hate-fueled violence in 2023. The court determined that the duo were motivated by Christopher Kunzelman's race when they repeatedly beat him with a shovel in 2014 when he and his wife tried to move into their remote village in Maui. 4 Levi Aki Jr. and Kaulana Alo-Kaonohi were both found guilty of a hate crime, agreeing with prosecutors that the two men were motivated by Christopher Kunzelman's race when they punched, kicked, and used a shovel to beat him in 2014. AP Kunzelman was left with severe brain damage following the assault that placed such stress on his marriage that it catalyzed a divorce, his wife Lori said. Alo-Kaonohi tried to appeal the conviction, taking issue with the federal hate crime enhancement, but the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction Thursday. During the original trial, Alo-Kaonohi's attorneys asserted that the attack on Kunzelman was fueled more by his entitled attitude. It's still not clear how much more time he could get. Considering the judge's previous sentence, though, retired federal defender Alexander Silvert, who is not involved in the retrial, suggested three extra years could feasibly be tacked on. Lori Kunzelman said she'd welcome the extended sentence after she and her husband were essentially run out of their dream home before even moving in. 4 Kaulana Alo-Kaonohi, 35, was originally sentenced to six-and-a-half years by a Honolulu judge. AP 4 The court determined that the duo were motivated by Christopher Kunzelman's race when they repeatedly beat him with a shovel in 2014. Christopher Kunzelman The Kunzelmans still own the trodden-down house they originally purchased on the ocean for $175,000 while they were seeking an escape from Arizona after Lori was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. 'We had vacationed on Maui year after year — loved, loved, loved Maui,' she said. It's been impossible to sell the home, Lori said, as locals just 'won't allow anybody to step foot' on the property. 4 Christopher Kunzelman was beaten when he and his wife tried to move into a remote village in Maui. Christopher Kunzelman 'It was obviously a hate crime from the very beginning. The whole time they're saying things like, 'You have the wrong skin color. No 'haole' is ever going to live in our neighborhood,'' Lori said after the 2023 trial wrapped. Haole, a Hawaiian word that was central to the first trial, can mean 'foreigner' and 'white person.' Much of the struggles between native Hawaiians and white tourists stems from the lack of education surrounding the islands' forced inclusion as a US state and its native history. The Hawaii Innocence Project plans on contesting the retrial to prove that 'haole' is not a derogatory term, the organization's co-director Kenneth Lawson said. With Post wires

How owner of Beauly Holiday Park turned ‘one of the worst campsites' he had seen into site with triple the occupancy
Less than 10 years ago Beauly Holiday Park was falling apart, but now it is now one of the most thriving campsites in Scotland. When Highlander Alan Hogan and his wife Lori decided to buy the business in late 2016, the site was in a state of disrepair, with untarred roads and broken toilets and showers. The couple completely transformed the site and since 2017, their occupancy has 'more than tripled'. Nature has been welcomed in with a six-acre reserve that is home to beavers, otters, pine martins alongside sightings of species rarely seen in the Highlands. The campsite has also become well-known for hosting festivals. The owners organised their first one, Beauly Buzz, in 2022, which attracted about 100 people. They now have four festivals a year, all welcoming 250 people and with tickets sometimes selling within minutes of going live. Mr Hogan left his career in the marine industry in 2011 to go travelling for a year. Within a month he met his wife Lori, who is from the US, with the couple starting their first motorhome business in 2013. Mr Hogan said: 'We just had two vans and we parked them at a friend's farm. 'The following year they became four vans. However, the following year we had a bit of a crisis. The business was going to become homeless because our friends were going to sell the farm.' That is when the hunt for new premises started, with the pair buying the Beauly campsite in late 2016. However, the 48-year-old explained the site was 'quite run down'. 'It was a bit crazy buying it in the first place,' he said. Mr Hogan recalled: 'We've tarred all the roads through the park. We've put in new hard-standing pitches and fixed all the electrical outlets. 'I had to change one shower and we had broken toilets too, the drainage barely worked. 'So, basically, we completely closed that down. And we rented toilets from a local hire company. And we ran with that for a few years until we could build a new toilet block. 'From my own experience travelling around, I've been to hundreds of campsites over the years, and it was easily one of the worst I've ever seen.' However, he said that they 'completely turned it around'. He continued: 'We have a really loyal customer base now who absolutely loves the site and our occupancy rate has more than tripled since 2017.' When they took over the site in 2016, the bottom of the park was unusable for camping, so the couple decided to make the space into a nature reserve. The reserve is home to beavers, otters, beavers, pine martens, roe deer, dragonflies and bats. 'We've managed to create a nice little haven for wildlife that our customers can enjoy as well,' the owner said. He explained: 'We have 17 acres and have dedicated six to the nature reserve. 'We've put in ponds and we see a lot of species there. A couple of years ago, Lori took a picture of a caterpillar she hadn't seen before. 'I shared it on a wildlife Facebook group that I run locally, Wildlife in and around Inverness, and suddenly people said, that's really unusual. 'And it turned out to be the first sighting of that species this far north.' Mr Hogan remembers he was worried when a woman came running out of her caravan in 'floods of tears'. He said: 'I thought, 'Oh no I'm in trouble for something'. 'She eventually said 'owls'. 'She'd actually seen some tawny owls in our nature reserve. She just saw them and burst into tears because they're so cute.' In 2023, the couple were finding it challenging to run the motorhome rental business and the holiday park together. They then decided to close the motorhome rental side while bringing in another element. A customer suggested they should try organising a festival on the campsite. In May 2022, they hosted Beauly Buzz, which successfully welcomed about 100 people. They ran it again in 2023 and it grew to attract about 150 people. That year, they also organised Mutiny on the Beauly, a pirate festival celebrated in September. Last year, they brought in a blues festival, Bluesey Beauly, in June and a fourth in August named Beer'n'Bands'n'Beauly. This year, they will host four, with September's one changing its name to Beauly and the Beast, with people encouraged to come dressed as monsters. Mr Hogan said: 'The festival idea really took off. 'Typically, we have about four bands on each night and 250 people per festival. 'This year, for Beauly Buzz, tickets sold out in 45 minutes.' The festivals are also a platform to support local talent. Mr Hogan explained: 'The furthest that we'll take a band from is 100 miles away. It's got to be somebody based in the Highlands.' The same happens on Friday nights, when there is live music at Captain Faff's Bar, the campsite's pub. 'It's local musicians only,' he said. We also asked Mr Hogan whether the North Coast 500 has been positive for his business. The route was officially launched in March 2015, just over a year before he and his wife took over the campsite. He said: 'Absolutely. Probably at least 50% of our camping customers are doing the North Coast 500 or a variation of the North Coast 500. The owner added he has seen an increase in people with tents at the campsite during the first part of 2025. He said: 'We're seeing a lot of people with roof boxes, which is something that has exploded. 'One of the things that I don't think I've mentioned, for every pound that somebody spends with our business here in Beauly, they'll spend at least another pound at the Co-op or at the filling station or at one of the restaurants.'
