      Bonjour Paris! Turkish actress Hande Erçel shared a series of photos on her Instagram feed this week.
      From mirror selfies to portraits with her sister Gamze Erçel, the duo is seen exploring the city of love in their best outfits as they go on the ultimate girl’s trip.
      Whether indulging in some hot chocolate or shopping at their most-loved stores, the duo’s trip looked beyond exciting. No trip is complete without some retail therapy, as the sisters love wearing their favourite outfits, they stop for a mid-break to refresh their wardrobe with the best pieces that Paris has to offer.
      The other Erçel sister shared a behind-the-scenes of their glamourous trip, during which they spent time taking in the picturesque city and in her caption said, “Our holiday summary, In the fourth photo Hande took my picture, but I’m not there.”
      To add some humor, the famous actress shared her snippets with the caption, “My sister was a ghost the entire holiday,” as she barely highlighted her in the pictures.

      Dreaming of Mykonos? This boutique hotel is one to add to your bucket list

      by

      Lifestyle

      We may be in the midst of winter, but that hasn’t stopped us from dreaming about a Grecian summer.
      In the vein of planning ahead, we want to whisk you away to the shores of Mykonos to give you some wanderlust inspiration for next summer.
      Hidden in the cove of the Ornos Bay area of the island lies Kalesma Mykonos, an exclusive oasis like no other. Blending seamlessly into the surroundings of the island, the look and feel of the hotel have been designed as a collection of houses to resemble a charming Mykonian village.

      Created by the Greek owners, every aspect of this hotel not only provides a truly secluded stay but also at its core ensures an authentic experience on one of the country’s most popular island getaways. Kalesma isn’t what you’d normally associate the party resort of Mykonos with, but it’s a welcomed change – and you’re just a stone’s throw away from the action.
      The Feel
      As soon as you step into this whitewashed haven, you’re overcome by a wave of relaxation. Welcome to paradise.
      Created by the Greek owners, every aspect of this hotel not only provides a truly secluded stay but also at its core ensures an authentic experience on one of the country’s most popular island getaways. Kalesma isn’t what you’d normally associate the party resort of Mykonos with, but it’s a welcomed change – and you’re just a stone’s throw away from the action.
      The Stay

      Ideal for visitors from the GCC region, Kalesma is perhaps the most exclusive resort you’ll find on the Greek island of Mykonos.
      The luxe hideaway features 12 one-bedroom villas, 13 one-bedroom suites and two larger villas accommodating up to eight guests, all of which have their own pools, giving optimum privacy on this bustling island. In fact, it’s the only hotel in Mykonos where this level of privacy is found.
      Each accommodation overlooks Ornos Bay, complete with floor-to-ceiling French doors, meaning you never miss out on any of the breathtaking views. For sun lovers, there’s also the terrace and the pool which becomes a sun trap in the morning and in the evening it becomes a golden oasis as the Grecian sunsets.
      The Food

      Back up at the main part of the hotel, by the reception, lies the hotel’s restaurant, Pere Ubu. Situated just by the hotel’s infinity pool, you’re treated to the same stunning views you’ll see from your room, but out the other side of the restaurant by the firepit, you can see through to the other side of the island, giving a 360-degree aspect to the hotel.
      The food – both breakfast and dinner – is just as impressive as the views with a number of Cycladic dishes on the menu. The seabass was definitely a winner – when in Greece!
      The Verdict
      Five-star service, paired with a five-star hotel makes for nothing short of a spectacular stay. Trust us, you won’t want to leave.

      Elevate your travel experience with exclusive tips from The Points Guy

      by

      Brian Kelly, founder of The Points Guy, knows how to work the system when it comes to collecting and maximising reward points.

      What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
      When I’m at my house in Pennsylvania, I like to have a cup of cold brew coffee with almond milk to get me going and then I like to go out and say good morning to my horses. Their energy is the best way to start the day.

      What inspired you to launch ‘The Points Guy’?
      I’ve had a good understanding of how to maximise points and miles since I was a young child. When I started working in Corporate America, I realised I could start earning a lot of points for myself through work travel. In 2010, I started The Points Guy as a blog for fun, and never in a million years did I think it would grow to what it is today. I get great satisfaction out of helping people unlock the power of points and miles. It’s the best job in the world to help people explore this amazing earth.
      What’s the best way to get started when it comes to building points for an enthusiast?
      Sign up for hotel and airline loyalty programmes as most are free and a great way to earn points when you fly and stay at ho- tels. Second, credit cards are the biggest way to earn points from not only travelling but through everyday purchases. The best way to earn lots of points sustainably is to have a multifaceted approach – earn from travel, earn from everyday spending, and book smartly.

      What are the top 3 tips you can share to get started?
      My top three tips to get started are first, it’s important to get the right credit card that rewards you for what you spend the most on. Secondly, always shop through online shopping portals for extra miles and points and lastly leverage social media and travel platforms to find the best deals such as Scott’s Cheap Flights, The Points Guy and Google Flights.
      What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
      Don’t be afraid to go off the beaten path. Some of my best trips have been to less popular destinations such as Israel and Rwanda which really open your eyes to amazing and different cultures, wildlife, and cuisines.
      What is the best thing you’ve been able to afford through the points you’ve collected?
      It’s been amazing to travel with my parents and take them on memorable trips. For example, we flew the Emirates A380 together and I made my mom take a shower to experience doing so at 40,000 feet in the sky. We also use points and miles to support an amazing nonprofit organisation called PeaceJam and visit their communities in Ghana, Liberia, South Africa and Guatemala. So, using points and miles to both giveback and travel with my parents has been my ultimate dream.

      ‘It was really hard’: Jennifer Aniston breaks silence on infertility struggles

      by

      Lifestyle

      by Olivia Morris
      4 hours ago

      Jennifer Aniston has opened up about her journey with IVF (In vitro fertilization) for the first time ever.
      In a new cover interview with US magazine Allure, the 53-year-old broke her silence on her infertility and struggles to get pregnant in her 30s and 40s.
      For years, Aniston was subject to tabloid speculation when it came to starting a family when she was married to both Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017.

      But the constant guesswork and reporting surrounding the subject, Aniston admits was “really hard”, particularly as her infertility struggles were unknown to many.
      “All the years and years and years of speculation … It was really hard,” she said. “I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.”
      In fact, upon reflection, the actress admits she wishes someone would have told her to freeze her eggs.
      “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it,” she explained in the interview. “So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

      However, despite her infertility struggles, she has “zero regrets” and it’s, in fact, given her a sense of closure.
      “I have zero regrets,” she said. “I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe’. I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
      As for if she’d ever walk down the aisle again, the Friends star said “never say never”, but that it wasn’t on her radar.
      “I’d love a relationship. Who knows? There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support’,” she said. “It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody’s arms and say, ‘That was a tough day’.”
