Secretary of the Navy ENDS Animal Testing!
I'm a conservative AND an animal lover so this announcement from the Secretary of the Navy really makes me smile! I'm Tomi Lahren, find out next. Animal testing is cruel, abusive and with new technology, also increasingly UNNECESSARY! That's why I am so happy to hear the announcement from the Secretary of the Navy that ALL testing on cats and dogs will be TERMINATED! The Secretary's proclamation also rightfully stated that not only is this practice inhumane, it's a WASTE of taxpayer dollars. He also thanked Secretary Hegseth and DOGE for bringing it to light. But this goes even further, the surgeon general of the Navy will also conduct a review of all medical research programs to ensure they align with ethical guidelines. DOGE has also had a hand in ending ridiculous trans experiments conducted by the NIH on various animals. This is a big deal and one I hope even Trump and conservative-hating liberals can get behind. I can't think of a better savings for taxpayers than ENDING the cruel and unethical treatment of defenseless animals!

IF you're a lazy girl that can't stand cleaning, you've come to the right place. With many of us constantly faced with to-do-lists as long as our forearms, if you're on a mission to get your home sparkling but with barely any faff involved, then we've got you covered. 16 There's nothing worse than having to spend your whole Sunday morning scrubbing, but luckily for you, there's a new household hero buy that takes the effort out of those dreaded chores. And not only is there barely any effort involved thanks to this purse-friendly buy, but it also works incredibly fast too. With the hugely popular Astonish Original Cleaning Paste, in just 60 seconds - yes, you heard that correctly - your surfaces will gleam. You can use it in every room in your home - whether that's on your kitchen sink, your shower, or even your radiators. Not only this, but this ultimate all-purpose cleaner, which has a vegan, cruelty-free cleaning formula for 'endless uses' can also work miracles on filthy ovens or even grim BBQs too. Here, I, Abby Wilson, test out the viral product - which I used for just one minute on each surface - and you'll be shocked to see the rust vanish in my bathroom. For those on a budget, you'll be pleased to know that it's available in many major retailers, including Asda, Morrisons, The Range, Iceland and Wilko, from just £1. It's been described by many influencers as 'the best' cleaning product on the market, as it cuts through grease, grime and stubborn stains with ease, all without harsh chemicals. Not only is it ideal for everything from enamel and grouting to glass and steel, but after my quick test, it's now a must-have in my cleaning arsenal. So if you don't want to splash the cash on 10 different cleaning products, you'll need to check out this multi-use buy. 5 damaging TikTok cleaning hacks you should NEVER try Giving pans a proper clean If your pans have seen better days, this Astonish buy is bound to be your new best pal. My Ninja frying pan is an absolute favourite of mine and despite not having it for very long, it's definitely showing its use. Of course I always give my frying pan a good scrub after using it, but I only recently noticed that the underneath of the pan was looking pretty tragic. In less than one minute, I was absolutely gobsmacked at the paste's ability to totally eradicate the pan's mess. It now looks brand new and there was barely any effort involved. Removing rust As well as scrubbing up my pans, this paste also worked a treat in my bathroom. I've tried to scrub at my shelving unit on numerous occasions, but the rust just doesn't seem to budge. 16 16 It's gross (I know), but thanks to this cheap buy, the rust literally slid off in a matter of seconds. It's not like me to be left speechless, but for once, I was totally lost for words. So if you've noticed rust anywhere in your home, you'll need to give this a try - and trust me, it really does produce jaw-dropping results. Shower shine Whilst in my bathroom, I'm not afraid to admit, I can't remember the last time I cleaned my shower. Yes that's probably something I should keep to myself, but after I've spent ages washing my hair and shaving my legs, the last thing I want to do is get my gloves on and start scrubbing. But thanks to this miracle paste, all of the hard work and effort is now not a problem. I assumed that my shower's slightly matte appearance was normal, but after literally 10 seconds of using this cheap product, I immediately saw a gloss that I haven't seen for a while. It also worked its magic on the shower head, which was previously covered in water marks - and now, it's so shiny I can see my reflection. Sparkling sink Another cleaning job I absolutely can't stand is cleaning my bathroom sink. It's something that shouldn't take that long, but I always find incredibly tedious. 16 So if your sink is covered in toothpaste marks like mine, fear not, this handy paste is one you'll need to try. It was one of the quickest things to clean in this test, and now, my sink is incredibly shiny. The dreaded toothbrush rim is nowhere to be seen and I have to say, I don't think I've seen my sink this clean for a while… Stained surfaces Not only does this paste work wonders in bathrooms, but it's great in the bedroom too. If your bedside tables have seen better days, this paste is one you'll need to add to your shopping list. 16 16 I always thought the marks on my white table were stuck there for good, after using countless sprays and wipes in an attempt to get them off. But it turns out I didn't need to break the bank on posh cleaning supplies, as after using this paste, the table is now whiter than ever. Not only this, but it's left a subtle, but fresh scent to my room too - what a win win!

Deep-clean your fridge in five simple steps Run to your radiator I'm admitting it here now, I have NEVER cleaned my radiator before. It's not a job that was ever at the top of my list and quite frankly, I didn't realise what a state it was until I got down and had a closer look. 16 I can't say I'm totally sure what the stain actually was, but thankfully, after literally 20 seconds, it was gone. Despite the mess never bothering me before, thankfully, now it looks brand new. Wave goodbye to water marks Now, although I don't look like I clean a lot (because I don't), my kitchen sink is something I never miss. 16 16 It gets wiped down at the end of every evening before I go to sleep, but after doing the washing up recently, I noticed the water marks looked worse than ever. I normally use a multi-purpose spray to get my sink shining, but thanks to this paste, the cleaning game has been totally changed. Despite taking barely any time at all, my sink has now had the deepest clean of its life - and is sure to leave my guests gushing. The household items you're not cleaning often enough IF you want to ensure your home is squeaky clean, you'll need to listen up.

U.S. Organic Personal Care Market Report 2025: Millennials and Gen Z Drive Demand with Focus on Clean Beauty and Ethical Sourcing
The U.S. organic personal care market is growing due to increased consumer demand for health-conscious, sustainable products. Key opportunities lie in eco-friendly, cruelty-free skincare, driven by women and younger consumers. Tech-driven personalization and overcoming high costs present further avenues for growth. Dublin, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "United States Organic Personal Care Market by Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" has been added to United States Organic Personal Care Market was valued at USD 3.01 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 5.10 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 9.25%. Growth in this market is fueled by increasing consumer awareness around health, wellness, and sustainability. There is a rising preference for products that are free from synthetic chemicals and made using natural, plant-based ingredients. Consumers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and ethically produced personal care items, particularly in the skincare segment, which accounts for over 40% of the market. The demand is driven largely by women, who represent more than 70% of the consumer base, and who are shifting towards products that are gentle, transparent in labeling, and aligned with clean beauty standards. This trend extends across skincare, haircare, cosmetics, and oral care, reflecting a broader lifestyle shift toward healthier and more conscious Market Driver: Rising Consumer Awareness and Health ConsciousnessAn increasing number of consumers in the U.S. are opting for organic personal care products due to heightened awareness of the potential health risks associated with synthetic ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial fragrances. This shift is particularly strong among millennials and Gen Z consumers, who value clean beauty and ethical consumers are actively seeking transparency in product labeling and are influenced by the accessibility of information online and through social media. The growing demand for non-toxic, plant-based formulations is not limited to skincare but spans across haircare, oral care, and cosmetics, further expanding the reach of the organic personal care segment. The emphasis on wellness and environmental consciousness continues to drive consumer choices, making this a strong growth factor for the Market Challenge: High Product Cost and Price SensitivityOne of the major challenges facing the U.S. organic personal care market is the relatively high cost of products due to premium ingredient sourcing, sustainable packaging, and compliance with certification standards. These elevated production expenses result in higher retail prices, limiting access for price-sensitive consumers. Economic pressures such as inflation and rising living costs can further deter mainstream adoption, pushing some consumers to opt for conventional or "clean-label" alternatives that may not be fully organic but are more affordable. Additionally, the market faces competition from traditional brands introducing lower-cost 'natural' variants that do not always meet rigorous organic standards. Without clear communication of the value and benefits, organic brands may struggle to justify their premium positioning to a wider Market Trend: Personalized and Tech-Driven Skincare SolutionsThe demand for personalization is reshaping the organic personal care landscape in the U.S., with consumers gravitating toward products tailored to their individual skin concerns and lifestyle factors. Advances in biotechnology, AI, and data analytics are enabling brands to offer customized skincare regimens through mobile apps, AI diagnostics, and at-home testing kits. Innovations such as DNA-based skincare and wearable tech devices are providing consumers with highly targeted and effective organic solutions. This tech-driven personalization is enhancing consumer trust, driving loyalty, and aligning with the values of efficacy and transparency. As consumers prioritize products that meet specific needs and deliver visible results, tech-enabled customization is expected to play an increasingly pivotal role in the evolution of the organic personal care Players Profiled in this United States Organic Personal Care Market Report L'Oreal USA, Inc.

Best Peptide Lip Balms for 2025, Tested by Wellness Editors With Sensitive Skin
Rhode peptide lip treatment: The vegan, cruelty-free Rhode peptide lip treatment has fun shades and scents, and you've likely seen all the influencers on your social media feed touting it. It also hydrates and plumps the lips with shea butter, peptides, cupuaçu (a chocolatey fruit native to the Amazon) and babassu (an oil made from the South American babassu palm). It provides high shine like a lip gloss. This treatment is best for someone who wants a slightly thicker, shinier lip treatment akin to a lip gloss. It is available in an unscented option, as well as vanilla, salted caramel and watermelon slice scents. Rhode also has a fragrance-free peptide lip tint in five shades. It's important to note that some consumers, including Anna, with the salted caramel scent, have experienced varying degrees of gritty particles in this balm. While it doesn't bother her, and she barely notices it after she rubs her lips together, it may bother some more than others, depending on the degree of grittiness. After taking a swatch photo of the balm, Anna decided not to include it in this list because of the amount of particles. While some haven't dealt with this, and others recommend soaking the product in warm water to melt the particles, she wouldn't recommend purchasing a lip product that may or may not be gritty. Rituel de Fille Thorn Bite Peptide Plump Crème lip oil: This clean beauty brand is known for its lipsticks and lip products. Its peptide lip oil is available in three sheer shades and comes in a luxurious-feeling glass vial. CNET Editor Caroline Igo tested the rose dew shade, which is close to a clear shine with a hint of pink. It's made with Murla seed oil, mango butter, shea oil, jojoba extract, rosehip and coconut oil. The Rituel de Fille peptide lip oil is best for those who are looking for a sheer color with a nice shine. This product is similar to lip gloss in that it's extremely smooth, shiny and has a plumping look. It's buildable and can go over any lipstick or lip stain. While this is a clean beauty brand, some people experience some sensitivities, Caroline included. It contains ginger oil, which Caroline is allergic to, and it causes her a tingling sensation. While this won't happen to everyone, it's also important to note that it has a strong floral scent that may bother some with sensitive skin. Caroline didn't include this product in this list due to the reaction that it caused her, but she still considers it a great product for its volume, consistency, look and feel. Catie Boucher, DCNP, FNP-C, who is board-certified in dermatology and family medicine and founder of SavvyDerm, says, "Anyone with a history of sensitive skin or eczema should be sure to patch test a lip product with peptides to make sure they don't have a reaction."

Peter Andre shamed for 'vile' Instagram post as he shares snaps from controversial family holiday
Peter Andre has been criticised by fans for taking a family trip to SeaWord during his holiday in Abu Dhabi. The singer, 52, jetted off with his five children and his wife Emily, 35, to the UAE for a family trip but has come under fire for a recent Instagram post. The reality star shared a snap of his children walking into animal theme park SeaWorld which was met with disapproval from animal lovers. Alongside the post, he wrote: 'We had the best time at @yasisland exploring all the parks. So special to have the whole family together, there truly is something for everyone. We'll definitely be back!' Unimpressed fans wrote: 'SeaWorld, definitely NOT a place for animal lovers'. 'Great photos until you showed SeaWorld, how sad'... 'Promoting cruel, unethical hell holes for animals, such as SeaWorld. Vile. Way to go @peterandre'. 'I'm so sad to see you visiting SeaWorld, the cruelty around these 'entertainment' parks are obvious and you could use your platform to help end the suffering endured by highly intelligent mammals. Very disappointing.' 'Definitely a no from me, poor sea creatures belong in their natural habitat.' SeaWorld Abu Dhabi state they are 'committed to providing the highest standard of animal welfare based on best practices and standards set by internationally recognized animal welfare organisations. 'Our animal care team consists of over 100 highly experienced and passionate veterinarians, scientists, animal care specialists, and educators who devote their lives to caring for and sharing their passion for animals.' Peter shares Amelia, 11, Theo, 9, and Arabella, 13 months, with Emily and he is also father to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with his ex Katie Price. Peter's post comes after he received backlash after releasing the trailer to his new film, Jafaican. The singer stars as Gary Buckle in the crime-comedy, a con artist pretending to be a Jamaican gangster. Gary, also known as Gazza, must master Jamaican culture in 21 days in order to execute a fraud in London and Jamaica and earn the £35,000 he needs to pay for his grandmother's care. Unimpressed fans criticised Peter for taking his family to the theme park With the film set to release later this year, its trailer showed Peter wearing dreadlocks and putting on a Jamaican accent - something which fans have called 'profoundly disrespectful '. The trailer made fans question: 'Did I wake up in 1998?!' 'Peter Andre starring as the lead character of a film called JAFAICAN where he's pretending to be a Jamaican and wearing a dreadlock wig is not something I was expecting to see in the year of our Lord 2025 but here we are...' 'There's a movie coming out with Peter Andre in a dreadlock wig pretending to be Jamaican. Is this really what we're doing in 2025?'; 'Why on earth has YouTube just recommended me a trailer for a film starring Peter Andre about a man posing as a fake Jamaican? Did I wake up in 1998?' One fan noticed Peter had deleted his tweet in light of the negative response and asked: 'So Peter Andre deleted his tweet, does that mean Jafaican is being scrapped?' However the trailer didn't receive all negative comments after other social media users shared their excitement ahead of the film's release. Peter first posted the trailer on his Instagram over the weekend as he announced: 'The OFFICIAL trailer for JAFAICAN has just dropped! Coming to cinemas soon….' Revealing his upcoming promo work for the film he confirmed the world premiere will be at the Gold Coast Film Festival on May 9 and teased that news on a UK premiere would be coming soon. Excited fans penned: 'Peter that looks amazing can't wait to see this brilliant'; 'Oh yes!!!! looking forward to this @peterandre can't wait';
