Venira: A Conscious Wellness Brand Bridging Ancient Rituals with Modern Self-Care
VMPL New Delhi [India], May 30: In a world increasingly tuned into energetic well-being and holistic living, Venira emerges as a conscious wellness brand rooted in intention, purity, and ancient healing traditions. With a focus on spiritual hygiene and energetic alignment, Venira offers a line of handcrafted aura salts designed to cleanse, protect, and elevate personal energy. After years of guiding thousands through spiritual journeys and energetic healing, renowned spiritual coach Jinisha has launched Venira, a mindful self-care brand offering organic aura salts and energy-cleansing blends infused with sacred herbs, crystals, and ancient rituals. At the heart of the brand is a philosophy that self-care goes beyond the physical--it is a ritual, a connection to one's higher self. Each product is thoughtfully formulated with sacred herbs, essential oils, minerals, and ethically sourced crystals, inspired by age-old purification practices and modern spiritual needs. Venira's signature collection includes * Aura Cleansing & Locking Salt--created to purify negative energy and seal in a refreshed auric field * Prosperity & Luck Salt--a golden blend enriched with saffron and turmeric to attract abundance * Nazar Protection Salt--infused with rosemary, cinnamon, and protective botanicals used across cultures * Self-Love & Romance Salt--a nurturing pink salt blend featuring rose petals, vanilla, and lavender for heart-centered healing All products are chemical-free, made in small batches, and guided by ritual and intention--transforming ordinary baths into spiritual sanctuaries. What began as a simple act of care during a sacred time has since become a growing movement in spiritual wellness. The response from early users was so profound that over 100 kilograms of these aura salts were shared within spiritual circles even before the brand officially launched. Venira is more than a product line--it's a call to reconnect with the deeper parts of ourselves, to cleanse not just the body but the spirit, and to make everyday rituals sacred again. At the foundation of this brand is a decade of spiritual study, healing practices, and energetic work. Venira was born from lived experience and deep inner transformation. The brand was created by Jinisha, a seasoned spiritual practitioner and healer known for her work in astrology, sound healing, and intuitive coaching. Her vision with Venira is to translate ancient wisdom into accessible, everyday rituals that elevate consciousness and promote energetic clarity.

Duchess of Edinburgh's designer wedding day perfume is now £30 thanks to Amazon half-price sale
The Duchess of Edinburgh is said to have worn this designer scent on her wedding day– and Amazon is now offering it at a discount in its beauty sale Fragrance lovers will be happy to hear that the Amazon beauty sale is blessing us with an irresistible offer – a substantial £36.79 off on designer Ralph Lauren's Romance Eau De Parfum. This scent isn't just any fragrance; it's said to be particularly dear to Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. The Duchess has reportedly been enamoured with this 'ageless' aroma for ages, even picking it for her 1999 wedding to Prince Edward. Now, you can nab the 50ml bottle for £30.79 on Amazon, a total bargain when contrasted with Boots' £66.40 or Debenhams' £68 sticker prices. A The People article from 1999 divulged that the Duchess selected this perfume for her grand entrance as a bride, noting: "No bride would be dressed without a light spray of perfume and Sophie chose the appropriately named Romance by Ralph Lauren which is fruity and subtly sexy." Featuring top notes of spicy pink pepper, rose, and jasmine, and a base that blends smooth woods, oak moss, and sophisticated musks, Ralph Lauren's Romance emanates a distinctly feminine, floral bouquet enveloped in a warm, inviting aura. For those looking to emulate the olfactory style of the Princess of Wales, rumour has it that Kate treasures Jo Malone Orange Blossom Eau de Cologne Spray. Perfect for fans of fruity or floral scents, a 30ml bottle is available from LookFantastic at £55. If you're looking for a different option, Marc Jacobs' Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum is now on sale at LookFantastic with a 20% discount, priced at £68. This fragrance features notes of banana blossom and jasmine. Ralph Lauren's Romance perfume has a devoted fan base, with many leaving rave reviews. One enthusiast gushed: "One of my favourite fragrances. I can not stay away for long. It reminds me of a garden full of roses." Another loyal customer revealed: "I have been using this perfume for five years. Sometimes I try new ones, but I always come back to my romance. It has a very subtle fresh smell. It stays for a long period of time,". A different fan added: "I always have a bottle handy, each and every time I wear it I get compliments galore, remember the same perfume does not always smell the same on different people. Sometimes I spray too much as I can never smell perfume on myself but I get a response every time I use this which is mostly daily, I buy other perfumes but always seem to go back to this one. I have told family and friends don't waste your money buying me perfume unless it's romance." However, not everyone was won over by the scent's intensity, with some critics mentioning its lack of longevity. A reviewer shared: "Really like the smell, it's refreshing and light but it is not long lasting. So I notice I'm dousing myself in the morning but by midday the smell is very faint." Over on another corner of the web, a delighted customer penned a rave review, enthusing: "A beautiful fragrance that has resulted in people standing close to me asking what perfume I am wearing and from where did I purchase from."

Gary Oldman had to apologise to Demi Moore while filming The Scarlet Letter for 'being unprofessional' and 'drinking too much' on set
Gary Oldman has played a fair few drunks in his time, from Churchill to Jackson Lamb. But the Oscar winner has now admitted to once having a drinking problem which resulted in him being 'destructive' on the set of A Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore. The Oscar winner, 67, played Arthur Dimmesdale in the 1995 Romance film alongside Demi Moore, now 62. Now talking about his experience whilst filming on set, he revealed he had to appologise to Demi at the time. Speaking to this week's Radio Times, he said: 'I think the worst thing you can do is inspire disappointment. 'I was in The Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore, and I had intermittent bouts of boozing during filming. It was towards the end of [my drinking] where I thought, 'If I carry on like this…'. 'I was in a very dark place. I drank too much in the lunch hour. It was such a destructive thing. I got back on the set to do quite a big scene and I got through it. 'You wouldn't really know but I was quite tipsy. And the next day, I said to her, 'I'm so sorry, you must hate me.' 'I was mortified that I'd been so unprofessional. And she said to me, 'I don't hate you. It's OK. I'm just disappointed'.' Gary was arrested in 1991 for drunk driving and in 1994 checked himself into rehab. In recent years whilst talking about his addiction he has admitted to 'sweating vodka' and that he would drink so much that his tounge turned black. He has now been sober for 27 years and has previously credited Alcoholics Anonymous for helping him with his addiction. Oldman won an Oscar for his role in Darkest Hour, where he portrayed Winston Churchill. Telling the Radio Times he revealed the role was the 'riskiest' he had ever taken on and that his perception of Churchill changed afterwards. 'It worked out OK, but I'd turned it down half a dozen times,' he said. 'He wrote more words than Shakespeare and Charles Dickens put together. He wrote about 50 books, all those famous speeches. And not only did he write all those, but he wrote all the day-to-day stuff, like memos and letters. 'The achievement of one guy who could write all that, paint those pictures, take on the Nazis, smoke that many cigars, drink that much in his life – I had great admiration for him.' Having most recently played the role of Jackson Lamb, a drunk, unkept, failed MI5 agent, in the last three seasons of Apple TV's Slow Horses, Oldman said they're now talking about season six with season five to be released this summer. 'Obviously, if they want to keep us on the air and we've got an audience,' he said. 'It's Apple writing the cheques. We're working on writing number six. 'Now, I don't know whether we'll eventually end up doing it, but we've filmed five and there's eight books altogether.' It comes after Gary recently praised his former co-star Demi for her recent success. 'I've not really been in touch with her, but I just reconnected with her because I saw her recently. She is such a wonderful person, Demi,' Gary told The Post earlier this year, 'She really is very special.' He continued: 'I couldn't be happier for her in this moment with this film and this role. 'I think it's such a wonderful thing. And she's loving it and really riding the wave.' Demi has been dominating this year's awards season for her role in The Substance, winning both a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for Best Actress for her performance as Elisabeth Sparkle in the horror film. Gary was also nominated at the 2025 SAG Awards for best actor in a drama series for his role in the Apple TV+ thriller Slow Horses. However, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada took home the prize for his incredible performance in the TV series Shōgun.
