Maura Higgins swears by this Sol de Janeiro body oil for her glowy holiday skin
If you're looking for the ultimate summer body product, Maura Higgins swears by this £35 Sol de Janeiro body oil for glowy and radiant holiday skin
There's nothing better about being on holiday than spending a day at the beach in the sun, coming back to your room and getting ready for an alfresco dinner out. And if you want to continue that back-from-the-beach glow (whether you're jetting off or staying local), Maura Higgins has just the product to use.
The product we're on about is the Sol de Janeiro GlowMotions Copacabana Bronze Glow Body Oil, priced at £35 here. We spotted Maura using this shimmering body oil on her recent Grecian holiday, and loved the glowy results it gave.
It's essentially sunshine in a bottle. Packed full of bronze shimmer, plus a skin-softening blend of cupuaçu butter, antioxidant-rich açaí oil and nourishing coconut oil, not only does this oil make you look amazing, but it's actually beneficial for the skin.
These hydrating, and skin-loving ingredients leave behind smooth, pampered and bronzed skin. It's perfect for all skin types and is so easy to apply, it will become your new summer go-to for radiant skin.
It's on the pricer side at £35, and is prone to selling out, so we've rounded up a few more of our favourite shimmering body oils starting from £22.

Love Island USA bombshells dumped after brutal Casa Amor twist – as fans make plea to bosses
FOUR bombshells have been dumped from Love Island USA after the brutal Casa Amor twist. Fans of the hit Peacock show have made a huge plea to bosses after the shock shake-up. 4 4 As part of the long-running twist, the boys and girls of the main villa are separated. The couples faced the ultimate test as the girls were moved to a new location and a whole new set of bombshells entered. The host of the show - and former Vanderpump Rules star - Ariana Madix explained: "Think of it as starting from scratch." At the end of the week, the islanders decided whether to stick with their original partners or twist the relationships with their new connections. Viewers have since said goodbye to four of the contestants who have been left single by the twist. The show's official Instagram account posted a snap of the four dumped bombshells. Alongside the glam group shot, it wrote:"Casa Amor is officially over, and we're saying goodbye to CoCo, JD, Vanna and Zac. Wishing them all the best!" However, fans have since been left absolutely fuming as they think that CoCo deserved more time on Love Island. As droves of fans flooded the comments section, they practically begged bosses to put her back into the villa or into the next season. In a comment that was liked by nearly 29,000 people, one passionate fan wrote: "Coco deserved to be an OG or early bombshell." Love Island USA fans accuse show of 'scripted' storyline as Olandria and Nic are 'forced to date' in 'staged' scenes A second agreed: "I wish Coco came in earlier." "Bring my sis Coco back for another season. She's too gorgeous," exclaimed a third user. While a fourth begged: "Coco sweetheart don't be worried, I can see your future as my s8 love island winner so clearly." Someone else posted: "I wish Coco could've stayed." And a sixth added: "Make Coco an OG next season pls," alongside both a praying and a crying emoji. 4 4

I'm a 48-year-old music snob and I loved Olivia Rodrigo
I have to admit, when I told friends I was taking my 14-year-old daughter, Florence, to see Olivia Rodrigo, I did so with an eye-roll and a bit of a 'bloody kids, eh?' smirk. At 48, I've got quite a few gigs and festivals under my belt. I was at Knebworth in '96 and could be found in the mosh pit at countless Britpop shindigs back in the day. While my record collection spans from the classic '60s swagger of the Stones to the big-riff grandeur of '70s Led Zep, taking in the stadium-filling, guitar-squealing anthems of Pink Floyd, my Spotify algorithm tells a different story. Being subjected to the 'racket' of a teenage playlist in the car is the scourge of many a parent, but I have to say, secretly — thanks to my kids —I've been introduced to a new breed of alt-pop, punk-pop… call it what you will. And I'm pleasantly surprised to report that pop music is very much alive and well — and I am a fan! It's nearing showtime, and as we gently jostle for position amid the fug of Sol de Janeiro and mounting anticipation — this is, after all, essentially Rodrigo's Glastonbury dress rehearsal (she headlines the Pyramid Stage on Sunday) — I'm suddenly self-conscious that at any moment someone might holler at me: 'Oi, Grandad, ELO's next month!' As the former Disney actor bounds on stage, the Hyde Park noise levels go up several notches, and Bad Idea Right? is greeted with a delirious tsunami of whoops and screams from teens and tweens (and dads) living their best lives. One banner I can just make out reads: Olivia, I'm obsessed with you. The hits keep coming. Bad Idea Right? is followed by the Pixies-tinged Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl, and if Vampire isn't the perfect example of a flawless, three-and-a-half-minute pop song, I don't know what is. I look across at my sequin-clad daughter, lost in the moment and singing along. I even turn a blind eye to her joining in with the (perhaps overly) sweary lyrics (shut up, Gramps). Screaming pubescent girls in purple cowboy hats watch the entire gig through their phone screens, and then the screams go up a few more decibels when Rodrigo thrills the already overexcited crowd even more by nonchalantly bringing out 'her favourite Brit,' Ed Sheeran, to duet on his classic, The A Team. As one perfectly crafted, delicious slice of pop perfection follows the next, it occurs to me that until recently — like many fellow middle-aged music-snob dads — I would have dismissed the warblings of Rodrigo, Carpenter, Roan, Styles et al. as disposable, autotuned bilge. Far from it. The output from these pop princes and princesses really stands up. These are songs with legs: compositionally sophisticated, rich in infectious melody, and emotionally devastating. ABBA, Pulp and The Cure for the Gen Z, TikTok-cool kids. Rodrigo's effortless between-song patter is charming and endearing. She tells the crowd that the capital is 'her favourite city' and yells: 'I f*cking love you, London!' Her band — made up entirely of women and non-binary musicians — isn't just making up the numbers behind the 'talent': they're excellent and rightly enjoying every minute of it. A quick low-key costume change into shorts and a T-shirt, and she's back for a supercharged, rocky encore of Brutal, the Green Day-esque All-American Bitch, Good 4 U, and — for reasons that weren't totally clear — she scales some scaffolding and belts out Get Him Back through a megaphone. Throw in the obligatory fireworks, streamers and pyrotechnics to close the show, and all the boxes have been ticked. More Trending As we turn to leave, I have to suppress my boring dad-rock instincts and resist vocalising them — like: 'The opening chords of Brutal remind me of Elvis Costello's Pump It Up,' or wondering wistfully what a Knopfler guitar solo would sound like on Happier. 'Do you want to get a T-shirt?' I ask Florence as we edge our way, exhausted but slightly euphoric, towards the exits. 'No, I think I'm all right, actually.' 'Oh, OK,' I reply. 'Er… do you mind if I get one?' Got a story?

We found the London hotel with incredible views where celebs stay before events
We checked in to this popular central London hotel to see why it's so popular – with celebrities and 'regular' travellers alike – and discovered spacious rooms and amazing views First impressions when you enter London Hilton on Park Lane, on the edge of Hyde Park, are certainly grand ones, with a glitzy lobby filled with velvet sofas and human-sized bouquets of fresh flowers to greet you. Despite this clearly being a big corporate hotel (there was at least one conference going on when we stayed), the service is super friendly and personal, from the welcome at reception to the cute note from housekeeping on our pillow with the turn down. Lots of guests were obviously repeat visitors, and staff greeted them – and first-timers like us – like old friends. We're told Academy Award-winning actor Susan Sarandon recently stayed here, as did Maura Higgins to get ready before this year's TV BAFTAs. The rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane We were lucky enough to be put in the recently refurbished Executive Park Lane Suite, a huge space on the 25th floor featuring a lounge area, separate bedroom and dressing room, and incredible views out over Hyde Park, with the Serpentine twinkling in the middle. We were particularly taken by the window seat and super-comfy bed, and the large marble bathroom with two sinks, separate bath and shower, and Molton Brown toiletries. If your budget stretches to it, it's a real luxury to have so much space in the city centre, and feels like London's version of a luxury apartment in New York City, overlooking Central Park. One big perk for those staying in an Executive Room or any of the 56 suites is access to the hotel's Executive Lounge, where breakfast is served in the mornings, and drinks and snacks between 5pm-7pm in the evenings – and there's a wide selection, with no limits on the wines, beers, soft drinks and snacks. You could basically dine out here if you so wished. The food atLondon Hilton on Park Lane Instead, however, we headed downstairs for dinner at the hotel's Park Corner Brasserie, a modern British eatery serving elevated classics. Although not a huge number of options for vegetarians, we loved our cabbage and sweetcorn frittata, and there were loads of grill dishes to choose from. Our personal highlight came at the end of the meal with a trio of creme brulées, each one more delicious than the last. How much does it cost to stay atLondon Hilton on Park Lane? Rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane start from £459 for a Twin Guest Room.
