Are you taking enough care for your body to stay healthy? As we stay home during this ‘Circuit Breaker’, we need to remember to eat a balanced meal so we can supply our body with the essential vitamins.

Not just that, as we continue to work from home in an air-conditioned environment, our skin dries out very fast. Slapping on body lotion right after we shower helps lock in moisture - so looking for specific ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil might just do the trick.

We often take our body care for granted and that’s why we are curating a list of body care items - from head-to-toe - to ensure you work from home with ease.

Why North Korean troops are proving a nightmare for Russia

Trump says he might demand Panama hand over canal
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday accused Panama of charging excessive rates for use of the Panama Canal and said that if Panama did not manage the canal in an acceptable fashion, he would demand the U.S. ally hand it over. In an evening post on Truth Social, Trump also warned he would not let the canal fall into the "wrong hands," and he seemed to warn of potential Chinese influence on the passage, writing the canal should not be managed by China. It also underlines an expected shift in U.S. diplomacy under Trump, who has not historically shied away from threatening allies and using bellicose rhetoric when dealing with counterparts.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
