Woman's Running Route Takes Magical Turn When Baby Deer Decide She Needs Some Love
Woman's Running Route Takes Magical Turn When Baby Deer Decide She Needs Some Love originally appeared on PetHelpful. Exercise is beneficial for the body and mind in so many ways, but it can still be hard to find the motivation to get moving. Luckily, even a walk with your dog can count toward your daily exercise goal! Even though Kerrie (AKA @ was enjoying a solo run in Pennsylvania on July 8, it didn't take long before she spotted two adorable passersby. The baby deer were wandering the neighborhood on their own, most likely with mom nearby, but they stopped to say hello to Kerrie in the sweetest, most random way. I suppose the adorable fawns decided she needed some love! LOL, what was that? This was the cutest and most confusing interaction with a fawn that I've ever seen. I can hardly guess what their licks even mean! My best guess is that they tasted the salt from sweat on her legs, but how would they have known it was there? The more I watch this video, the more questions I have! If I'm confused, though, I can only imagine how flabbergasted Kerrie must have felt."That was a dare if I ever saw one," one commenter joked. OMG, I see what you mean! The way they scamper off without any rhyme or reason to their actions screams childhood shenanigans. It reminds me of another comment that said, "This is the deer version of touching the boat in Finding Nemo." Luckily, Mama Deer wasn't around to be protective of her curious babies, because even though Kerrie and the fawns were having fun, she wouldn't have liked it one bit. Why Would a Fawn Approach a Person? As precious as this video is, many viewers are curious, and even concerned, about the wild fawns' bizarre behavior. This would be so cool to experience, but this definitely doesn't happen every day! West Shore Wildlife Center explains that baby deer are naturally curious and susceptible to imprinting (recognizing someone or something as their parent), so these little cuties could have mistaken Kerrie for their mom from a distance. Perhaps that lick confirmed this wasn't who they were looking for! Whatever was behind this adorable moment, it's heartwarming to see wildlife interactions that leave everyone safe and smiling. It's safe to say this is an experience she'll never forget! Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

Woman lost two stone using app after struggling with weight
Kerrie lost two stone using the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app after gaining weight while training for a 100km charity walk A woman who was struggling with confidence after gaining weight during training for a 100km charity walk, found help through a wall Pilates app. Kerrie had expected to feel more toned, fitter and lighter as a result of the walk in May 2024 but in fact, she felt the opposite. Kerrie says she "put weight on during the six months training for the event and suffered with menopausal aching all the time", and she saw her body, metabolism and confidence changed by the hormonal changes of menopause. That was when she found the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, which she signed up for in the hope that "it would help ease aches and pains". Fast forward to less than a year on, and Kerrie is more than two stone lighter and her old clothes are hanging off her. The Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, designed by nutritionist Matt Jones and women's health coach Monika Friedman, creates personalised and easy fitness and weight loss plans for women over 40. 'The first photo was taken in May 2024, just after my walking challenge,' Kerrie says of her before-and-after shots. 'The second photo was taken in the same T-shirt.' The brand aims to help users: "Discover a new way to enhance your Pilates practice using a wall for support and deeper engagement. Improve posture, build lean muscle, and increase flexibility with guided routines suitable for beginners and experienced users alike." The app's mission is to make at-home workouts fun and effective, let go of outdated exercise and diet concepts, break societal taboos around menopause, and much more. Those who are interested can grab a number of plans from the app starting from £7.14 for a one week plan, £15.65 for four weeks, and £26.77 for a whole 12 weeks, with plans ranging from wall Pilates to chair yoga, menopause weight loss custom meal plans to keto diet plans, to help users lose weight and feel more energised. For those looking for other options, there are multiple apps to choose from, such as MyFitnessPal, which is an all-in-one food, exercise and calorie tracker that has both free and paid subscription options on the app. Another option is the Nike Training Club App. This gives access to over 200 free workouts and targeted training programs for fitness enthusiasts. The Reverse Health app has been praised by customers. One person said: 'Starting week 5 today. I'm down 9.3 pounds and my clothes are starting to become too big. My energy this past week was excellent.' Another said: 'The fitness videos, especially Wall Pilates were a game changer for me, I love them. So easy and incredibly effective, I love seeing myself in the mirror now.' 'I've been doing this amazing program for a year now and I've lost 97lbs. I'm not stating this to brag but to let everyone know it is possible to make these life changes,' said another person. Some users did struggle with the workouts. One user said: 'I like the concept, but the exercises are hard, which discourages me from doing them.' Another highlighted they'd like a barcode scanning option on the app, saying: 'I don't like that there isn't a scan option for meals on the go.' However, for results like Kerrie and many other women at this stage of life, the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app has been praised by many. One happy 66-year-old said: "First time to use any weight loss programme. Very interesting app. Enjoy the tips for the day . Very informative, with info about nutrition and general health. I've certainly learned a lot two weeks in and I do feel more energetic and positive. I'm on the right track to get fitter and healthy."

This is my most complimented dress this summer - and Sienna Miller is a fan of the look too
Unfortunately I don't have a huge amount in common with the incredibly beautiful and talented global superstar Sienna Miller - but one thing we do share is a love of a good brown summer dress. The actress was recently snapped out in New York with Emily Blunt, wearing a rich chocolate brown dress that made her look more radiant than ever. With delicate tie straps at the shoulders and a glossy finish, the satin St Agni dress is definitely outside my budget at £481 - but that doesn't mean I can't take style inspiration from the gorgeous block colour of her outfit. Brown might not be an obvious colour choice for summer, but actually it looks much softer than black, is great with a tan and much more suitable than white if you don't want to be covered in stains within 20 seconds of leaving your house. My go-to dress of the summer is the the Audrey midi dress from Aym in chocolate brown. In fact I've had so many compliments on it that I've found myself constantly sharing the link with various friends so they can buy it too. Audrey midi dress £129 Shop At £129 it's not cheap, but the quality is fantastic, with a double-layered mid-length skirt and bamboo/cotton mix fabric that feels soft yet supportive. The shape is also amazingly flattering, thanks partly to the adjustable, lace up waist at the back. I'm actually tempted to buy it in a few more colours, because as far as I'm concerned, this really is the ultimate dress shape. Anyway, back to brown dresses - and there are loads to choose from on the high street, starting from as little as £20. Here are some of the best... Felicity midi dress £99 Shop Belted midi shirt dress £20 Shop Crochet trim sleeveless midi dress £22.50 Shop Drawstring-detail dress £27.99 Shop Chocolate brown spot print puff sleeve midi dress £36 Shop Next Colorado midi dress £69 Shop Philippa dress £125 Shop Kerrie dress £198 Shop £98 Shop Reiss Iona dress £165 Shop Sezane

‘Huge Impact': Residents Worry Over Traffic From New Tauranga Development
Article – Alisha Evans – Local Democracy Reporter The residents want a second access added to the planned 13-hectare Pukemapu subdivision in hauiti to alleviate their concerns, but Tauranga City Council says doing so would be prohibitively expensive. Residents of a Tauranga suburb are concerned a new housing development will have a 'huge impact' on traffic that is already 'horrendous'. The residents want a second access added to the planned 13-hectare Pukemapu subdivision in Ōhauiti to alleviate their concerns, but Tauranga City Council says doing so would be prohibitively expensive. The new subdivision will be built on land that slopes down from the Rowesdale subdivision towards Pukemapu Rd, and an existing Rowesdale Drive house will be demolished to build the only access road. The developer Carrus said it was unknown how many homes would be built but the council website said about 200 were planned. Kerrie, who did not want her surname published, lives near Rowesdale Drive and said she and some other neighbours wanted the subdivision's developers to build a second access to Pukemapu Rd, which connects to Oropi Rd, to alleviate traffic pressures through Ōhauiti. 'It'll have a huge impact on the traffic. The traffic's already horrendous. 'It's a wider community that's affected. It's not just us, it's all of Ōhauiti and probably some of Welcome Bay as well. 'The developer should have to put in that [second] access point.' The area also didn't have schools or amenities like a supermarket, she said. Kerrie said the council had told her access to the subdivision was the developers' responsibility. 'The council is telling us we need to fight this with the developer to get the new road put in. It's nothing to do with council.' The council bought two properties at the end of Rowesdale Drive in 2020 to enable access to the Pukemapu land. These properties had covenants that prohibited them being used to enable development of the adjoining land. The council needed agreement from the other 21 property owners who were under the same covenant to change it to provide access to land behind. The alternative was to use a Public Works Act acquisition or High Court process to change the covenant. Talks with owners started in December 2021. The property owners obtained legal representation and an agreement on compensation was reached with the council in January 2023. The covenants on the two Rowesdale Drive properties were revoked, enabling access and services to the developable land. The covenants on other Rowesdale subdivision properties stayed the same. Kerrie was also upset the council used ratepayer money to buy the homes. 'I just thought how unfair it was, our ratepayer money being used to buy two houses that they're just going to bowl down. They've used our ratepayer money to pay out [compensation to] those 21 properties.' Council strategy, growth and governance general manager Christine Jones said the council paid $2.33 million for the two properties but this would be paid back by the developer. Only one of the two homes would need to be demolished for the new road and the other house could be resold, she said. The total compensation for the 21 properties was $3.16m but the individual amounts were confidential, Jones said. The council paid two-thirds and the developer paid one-third but would pay the council share as development happened, she said. Developers Carrus and Classic Group were working together on the development and controlled most of the developable land, Jones said. Council investigations showed Rowesdale Drive was the most suitable access point, she said. Multiple access points were preferable but not possible because of constraints and the costs involved, Jones said. The Pukemapu Rd option was not feasible and had a prohibitive cost, she said. Traffic congestion was a 'significant issue' during weekday-morning peak-hour but outside this the network generally performed well in Ōhauiti, Jones said. 'While additional traffic will have effects on the community, the shortage of housing in the city also has significant impacts and this area is one of few options to make a meaningful addition to the city's housing supply in a relatively short timeframe.' The council agreed better schooling options were needed in the area and had been engaging with the Ministry of Education for some years, she said. 'We are also aware of the lack of retail and commercial offering in the suburb and plan to investigate this further as part of our upcoming review of commercial and industrial zones across the city.' The council was also considering investigating other access options for Ōhauiti, Jones said. Carrus managing director Scott Adams said they were working through options and timeframes for the development. 'We don't have a workable subdivision plan as yet.' Adams said it was unknown yet how many homes would be built. The land had been zoned residential for about 25 years, he said. Residential growth took up most of the water and wastewater capacity that was allocated for the project and no infrastructure planning or upsizing had occurred since despite the residential zoning, Adams said. Having multiple transport connections to the site would be awesome, he said. 'The reality is traffic congestion is a citywide problem, and every motorist in the city endures it daily.' In his view: 'Transport planning has been neglected in Tauranga for decades.' Investment was needed to invest in highway network upgrades across the city to allow traffic to flow better, Adams said.
