CELEBRATE RAMADAN WITH THE MOLTON BROWN LONDON BLUEBELL & WILD STRAWBERRY COLLECTION
The sole of your shoe on a crush of weather-beaten green leaves. Dew on your nose and the red-green gradient of ripening wild strawberry arresting the air. That snap of wooden debris underfoot; spring's arrival is a quiet, sensuous assault. This season, Molton Brown celebrates Ramadan with the introduction of Bluebell & Wild Strawberry, their latest floral-fruity fragrance, alongside the 2025 gifting edit. At the heart of the new fragrance is the bluebell; subtly scented, it is rather a state of mind, a blue carpet in one's imagination. It intertwines with top-note twists of wild strawberry, with warm amber accord and soft driftwood at the base, and a signature note of earthy violet leaf. This is a stride into the forest when the shoots are new, there's dew in the air and the bluebell reigns supreme. Let's walk. Bluebell & Wild Strawberry brings to life Senior Perfumer Véronique Nyberg's springtime, when she feels buoyed by walks in nature. Her memories of a childhood spent in Alpine woods near Alps-de-Haute-de-Provence in France and the gradual loom of spring are planted at the fragrance's heart. 'Walking in nature allows me to feel grounded and rested, opening my mind to be creatively inspired and energised,' Nyberg says. 'I wanted to have a very contrasted fragrance to highlight the energy and the feeling I had in the forest. This vivid colour of all those little flowers on the green, carpet of the forest is amazing. And I really wanted to translate that into this fragrance. Spring is the right moment.' – Senior Perfumer Véronique Nyberg The post CELEBRATE RAMADAN WITH THE MOLTON BROWN LONDON BLUEBELL & WILD STRAWBERRY COLLECTION appeared first on Web Release.

The fast and the fitness: Expert tips for maintaining your gym goals in Ramadan
A fitness guide for those fasting in Ramadan… Ramadan is a time of deep spirituality, reflection and respect – a month when Muslims around the world choose to forgo food and drink in the daylight hours. And whilst the demands that fasting places on your body might make your usual workout routine untenable, you don't have to give up on exercise altogether. Done right, lowimpact wellness can help you on your journey of discipline and connection with purpose, in addition to keeping your body and mind in check. So, if you're fasting this month and want to keep your fitness goals on track we have some excellent news: We're handing the class over to F45 Coach and Palm Jumeirah's unofficial burpee queen, Marwa Ait Hemmou. Here she shares some essential tips for staying fit in the Holy Month. 3 of 12 Sleep is important. You still need you seven-to-eight hours. Check out our Ramadan nutrition guide below for what to eat and when We've rounded up the best exercises below to fit in with your training regime. It's the greatest tool you own, and the most important one to maintain. Listen to it. Marwa recommends drinking at least eight to 10 cups of water between Iftar and Suhoor Improvise, adapt, overcome. Tweak your routine, and your planning accordingly. Work with the ebbs and flows, train smarter, not harder. Some pro tips for you UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCE During Ramadan, balance is key. Your body is fasting for long hours, but that doesn't mean you should stop exercising or neglect proper nutrition. Aim to maintain a balance between your physical activity, nutrition, and rest. Stay mindful of your energy levels, and adjust your routine accordingly. The Best Times to Work Out in Ramadan Before iftar (one hour before breaking fast): Training about an hour before Iftar is ideal, as it allows you to exercise while your energy levels are still high. The best part is that you can break your fast and eat immediately after your workout to refuel your body. After iftar (post-dinner): If you prefer to work out after eating, make sure to wait at least 1-2 hours after your meal to avoid discomfort. This can be a great time for more intense workouts, as your body is replenished with food and water. FOCUS ON LOW-IMPACT WORKOUTS Since your energy levels may be lower during fasting hours, focus on low-impact exercises such as: Walking Yoga Pilates Bodyweight exercises Weight lifting (light weights) These exercises help keep you active without overtaxing your body. NUTRITION TIPS FOR RAMADAN Your nutrition during Ramadan plays a huge role in maintaining your energy levels and supporting your fitness goals. Here's how to fuel your body properly: Suhoor: Opt for slow-digesting carbs like oats, whole grains, and sweet potatoes. Include protein-rich foods like eggs, yogurt, or cottage cheese. Add healthy fats like avocado or nuts to keep you feeling full longer. Iftar: Break your fast with a glass of water and dates to quickly replenish energy. Focus on a balanced meal with lean proteins (chicken, fish), complex carbs (brown rice, quinoa), and vegetables. Avoid fried or overly salty foods that can make you feel sluggish. Snacks: Choose nutritious snacks like nuts, seeds, and fruits, which provide healthy fats, proteins, and fibre REST AND RECOVERY Adequate rest is essential, especially during Ramadan when your sleep patterns may change. Ensure you get seven to eight hours of sleep each day to allow your body to recover and function properly. HYDRATION IS KEY During non-fasting hours, hydration becomes crucial. Aim to drink at least 8-10 cups of water between Iftar and Suhoor to stay hydrated. Proper hydration helps with energy levels, recovery, and overall well-being. Add hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges to your meals for extra hydration. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY Finally, the most important tip… Listen to your body. If you feel fatigued or dehydrated, it's okay to adjust your workout intensity or skip a session altogether. Ramadan is a time for spiritual growth, and your health and wellbeing should always come first. If you'd like to workout with Head Coach Marwa, you can find her at F45 Palm Jumeirah.

Hamas moves to control prices in Gaza after Israel suspends deliveries
By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Hatem Khaled CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) - Israel's block on deliveries into the war-stricken Gaza Strip has led to price increases and fears of food shortages, prompting punitive measures from the Hamas-run authorities against merchants, according to Hamas sources and witnesses. Members of the Hamas-run police force were deployed in local markets across Gaza, asserting their presence on the ground despite a 15-month Israeli aerial and ground offensive against the Palestinian militant group. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. They questioned and detained merchants, ordering them not to raise prices during a standoff over a ceasefire deal, and seized supplies that were later resold at lower prices, the four sources and witnesses said. Local authorities also urged residents to report misconduct by merchants, saying that food supplies in Gaza would last just two weeks. "Punishing junior sellers in markets is good, but Hamas must act against the big merchants who control what we eat," said one witness, asking not to be named for fear of retribution. Israel announced on Sunday that it was stopping the entry of goods into Gaza, citing a dispute with Hamas over how to proceed with the phased, U.S.-backed ceasefire that brought a halt to heavy fighting in January. Hamas has urged mediators to pressure Israel to begin talks on the second stage and reopen Gaza's crossings. Israel's foreign minister said on Tuesday that Hamas had been using aid to continue fighting Israel. Israel says Gaza has enough food for many months. Humanitarian agencies, however, say supplies for food, medicine and shelter in Gaza are limited and that stranded aid might spoil. RAMADAN MEALS Philippe Lazzarini, head of U.N. Palestinian relief agency UNRWA, said Israel's suspension of deliveries threatened lives among Gaza's 2.3 million population, exhausted by war. "Aid and these basic services are nonnegotiable. They must never be used as weapons of war," Lazzarini said in a post on X. At a soup kitchen in Gaza's Khan Younis, where dozens of children holding pots lined up to receive soup, organizers said the suspension of deliveries would hit their provision of free meals for 20,000 people. The meals were meant to cover the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began on Saturday. But merchants had raised meat prices, meaning the menu had to change. "The kitchen's administration prepared a plan for the month of Ramadan, but the closure of the crossings has disrupted all the plans," said one of the organizers, Abu Omar. "On the first day of Ramadan, we served approximately 1,200 to 1,400 portions of meat and rice, but the closure of the crossings and the disappearance of goods in the markets led to us serving 'mujadara' (a rice and lentil dish) and soups today," Abu Omar told Reuters. The war began when Hamas-led fighters attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and capturing more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel's campaign has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to local health authorities, and displaced most of the population. Arab states met in Cairo on Tuesday to try to advance a longer-term plan for Gaza that would counter U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for a Middle East Riviera in the territory.
