I always get mistaken for a child… people offer me kiddos colouring books – they're stunned when they find out my age
A WOMAN who gets ''mistaken for a child'' has left people with their jaws on the floor after revealing her actual age. Beauty buff Darcei, from the US, is currently exploring London with her family - however, the wholesome holiday has left her fuming. 2 The skincare and make-up guru claimed that in just three days, she was allegedly mistaken for a kid a whopping ''ten times''. One such instance, the pint-sized beauty shared in a now-viral video, took place at the airport lounge whilst the brood was waiting to board the plane. ''We meet a person who's on the same plane as us and she turns to me and asks 'Are you done with school already?','' Darcei was stunned. ''As we're getting on the plane, the flight attendant has those bags that you give to eight-year-olds. ''She offers me one of those bags and I said 'No, thank you' because I'm not eight years old.'' As another cabin crew member walks around with a tray of champagne glasses and water, Darcei was shocked that she was only offered the latter - and not the bubbly. However, the troubles only got worse after the jet-setters landed in Paris, France. Patiently waiting in the adults-only line where a machine would scan her passport, the holiday-goer was once again approached by staff who thought she was underage. ''One of the agents comes over and he's like 'Are you over 18?' ''I'm like 'Yes'. He asked me twice - just to make sure.'' I lost 6st with fat jabs but ended up with 'Ozempic face' – I got youthful look back with six make-up tricks In the video, Darcei, who is currently travelling with her cousins, also revealed her true age - which is 33. ''Is it the hair? It's the hair, isn't it?'' wondered Darcei who was rocking two cute French braids, a pair of denim shorts and a baggy light pink T-shirt. Why is turmeric good for anti-ageing? A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair. This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also: Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin's elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin. Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion. 'The face gives baby face' Since being shared online, the rant - posted under the username @ missdarcei - has taken the internet by storm, winning Darcei a staggering 2millin views in just one day. After learning her real age, more than 211k people gave the video a like, as a further 6.8k flooded to comments in total disbelief. One said: ''You could be 12 or 30. I have no idea.'' Another chimed in: ''It's the hair, the fit and the height I think.''

How To Spend Two Days In Pebble Beach
An escape to Central California's most picturesque point always works. There's a reason jet-setters and golfers have visited Pebble Beach in Northern California for over a hundred years: the area is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Pebble Beach, a postcard-perfect gated community in Monterey, is the magical setting for any kind of getaway, boasting iconic golf courses, a pristine coastline and luxurious amenities. Even if you've never picked up a 5-iron, there's plenty of delicious restaurants to try, relaxing spas to experience and world-class shopping to do. And if you're seeking out a guide to fitting it all into two days, look no further. Once you've settled in, tee off in paradise. Start the day with a round of 18 holes at one of Pebble Beach's legendary courses. There are three distinct layouts: Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill. With challenging holes and incredible ocean views, Pebble Beach Golf Links is the most famous. It's hosted the US Open six times and will bring back the world's best players for the major's 2027 installment. If you want to get an unparalleled experience, hire one of the resort's caddies for expert guidance and local insights into each hole. Golfer or not, Casa Palmero is a great place to hole up. Day One While there are several hotels in Pebble Beach, one spectacular option is Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Casa Palmero. This 24-room resort, once a private home, exudes the exclusivity of a secluded Spanish-inspired residence. The recently reimagined design, unveiled in late 2024, is a testament to its timeless, chic and sophisticated appeal. The staff's impeccable service and the charming courtyard, complete with lush flowers and a bubbling fountain, enhance the calming atmosphere even more. The spacious rooms, with their high ceilings, fireplaces, cozy blankets and large bathrooms with soaking tubs, are their own luxurious retreats. A stay at Casa Palmero includes several complimentary perks, like a light breakfast delivered daily to your room, afternoon cocktail hour (if Robert is the bartender, you must try one of his creations) and after-dinner drinks and desserts. Once you've settled in, tee off in paradise. Start the day with a round of 18 holes at one of Pebble Beach's legendary courses. There are three distinct layouts: Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill. With challenging holes and incredible ocean views, Pebble Beach Golf Links is the most famous.

If you want to get an unparalleled experience, hire one of the resort's caddies for expert guidance and local insights into each hole. The Tiger Woods-reimagined Hay course. There's also a sensational 9-hole, par-three course designed by Tiger Woods called The Hay for less serious players, beginners and those short on time. It has gorgeous vistas and holes that replicate what you'd see on the real courses, so playing The Hay is a great way to get a dose of Pebble without the four-hour time commitment. Hay's Place, the restaurant adjacent to The Hay, is an excellent destination for lunch. The Mexican eatery has a lively atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and satisfying cuisine. Grab a margarita and lobster-topped tin can nachos, a house specialty that can easily feed several people. There's also an assortment of tacos, a hearty burger with roasted poblanos and chipotle aioli, and seafood enchiladas. In the afternoon, take a leisurely drive along Pebble Beach's scenic 17-Mile Drive. It has 17 stops that dot the Del Monte Forest. Some involve short hikes to scenic viewpoints, such as Huckleberry Hill. Visit the sandy beaches of Spanish Bay, snap photos of the ocean at Cypress Point or view wildlife — like sea lions, seals and pelicans — at Bird Rock. For dinner, Pebble Beach offers several choices. While renovations at The Lodge have temporarily shut down eateries such as Stillwater Bar & Grill and The Terrace Lounge Stillwater Bar & Grill, the Tap Room, the resort's signature steakhouse, has made the short-term move to a location overlooking the course at the first fairway. Diners can enjoy a variety of classic dishes, including French onion soup, grilled artichokes and prime rib. Other dining alternatives include Roy's, the Hawaiian-influenced restaurant at the Four-Star Inn at Spanish Bay, and Peppoli, an Italian eatery with a Tuscan-inspired setting. Rebound after a round at the Spa at Pebble Beach. Day Two After a relaxed breakfast in your room, treat yourself to an indulgent experience at the Five-Star Spa at Pebble Beach. The oasis is adjacent to Casa Palmero, so consider a bathrobe-donning walk over for your first bit of pampering for the day. Once you arrive, soak in a hot tub, scribble in an adult coloring book or sit next to a roaring fire until your name is called. A massage, facial or our favorite, The Royal Treatment (a 75-minute experience that includes a healing honey massage, a revitalizing foot scrub and a cooling facial mask), will leave you feeling rejuvenated. If you're ready for an outdoor adventure, Pebble Beach has many options. With 27 miles of marked trails in the Del Monte Forest, you can horseback ride or hike to your heart's content. Bike along 17-Mile Drive or head further afield to Point Lobos or Big Sur, both less than an hour's drive away. Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is known for its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and diverse marine life. Carmel's Garrapata State Park offers hiking trails with memorable coastal scenes. And if you want to touch some white sand, Carmel Beach is perfect for a stroll or stretch in the sun. Try innovative California cuisine at Aubergine at L'Auberge Carmel Shopping is easy at Carmel-by-the-Sea, the quaint village perched above the beach. At Girl Boy Girl and Paloosh, you can find sophisticated styles and contemporary brands like Veronica Beard and Ganni. You can discover chic home goods and edible gifts at Host House Carmel and Olivier Napa Valley or shop for designer bags and jewelry at Bottega Veneta and Tiffany & Co. Carmel-by-the-Sea is also home to some of the region's best restaurants. If you're in the mood for a fine dining feast, you can't beat the Five-Star Aubergine at L'Auberge Carmel. Chef Justin Cogley dishes up a seven-course tasting menu that's a delectable celebration of seasonality. For a more casual but equally unforgettable experience, head to Vesuvio, an Italian eatery with truffled gnocchi, burrata crostini and Napoletana pizzas on the menu. For a buzzy hot spot, you can't beat Seventh and Dolores, where the bartenders are charming and the food (chicken under a brick, charred Spanish octopus, triple cream potato puree) is classic and comforting.

Major airline offering 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600 per year
A US-based airline is offering its customers an annual 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600. For those dreaming of limitless journeys in 2025, Frontier Airlines is on hand to assist would-be jetsetters with a limited-time deal on its GoWild! Pass. For just $599, savvy adventurers can enjoy an unlimited number of flights across Frontier's domestic and international destinations, including the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, and Latin America. The pass is valid for travel between 1 May, 2025 and 30 April, 2026, where it then automatically renews at $699 a year. Pass holders are granted access to a range of benefits, including the opportunity to book domestic flights a day before departure, and ten days before departure for international travel. Organised travellers can also plan ahead and select flights early by searching and choosing GoWild! when available - though an Early Booking charge may apply. Pass holders automatically become members of Frontier Miles upon enrollment, giving the opportunity to earn miles on all Go Wild! eligible purchases. Plus, passengers can use their Elite Status to secure seats and bring onboard bags free of charge. To enroll themselves or another individual for the GoWild! Pass, purchasers must be 18 years or older and a resident of the United States. The pass holder must also be a resident of the United States and a Frontier Miles member, according to the terms and conditions listed on the airline's site. After purchasing the GoWild! Pass, passengers can book tickets on select flights for just $0.01 in airfare, plus applicable charges, fees and taxes. There are also other limitations worth considering before travellers buy into the scheme. Pass holders are unable to reserve seats, and fares do not include carry-on or checked luggage. All passes are subject to blackout dates as listed by Frontier, restricting passengers from travelling around the holidays and other busy periods. Additionally, purchasers cannot use their GoWild! passes to buy tickets for other travellers. Frontier first launched a monthly GoWild! pass in 2023, and has since been successful enough that the airline has expanded it to include summer and annual options. The major airline operates routes across 100 destinations, from its main hub in Denver, to popular U.S. cities like Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas and Atlanta, to international locations in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Canada. Meanwhile, a former American Airlines boss has revealed the real reason why the firm terminated a passenger's 'lifelong' first-class plane ticket - after the frequent flier cost the company millions. Steven Rothstein, a businessman from Chicago, purchased an exclusive £190,000 AAirpass ticket in 1987, which granted him unlimited first-class flights for life. In addition to the AAirpass, Rothstein also splurged a further £115,000 for a companion pass, allowing him to travel with a guest.
