Air France unveils new menus in its La Première and long-haul Business cabins. E. Renaut La Première dish On departure from Paris, the great French Michelin-starred chefs Emmanuel Renaut and Anne-Sophie Pic will be creating exceptional dishes for Air France customers, alongside the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France pastry chefs Angelo Musa and Philippe Urraca. Anne-Sophie Philippe Urraca On departure from international stations, Air France is also continuing to develop exceptional partnerships. For the first time, the airline is offering new dishes by Jean-Charles Brédas. The chef will sign the entire Business cabin menu on departure from Pointe à Pitre, Fort de France, Saint Martin and Cayenne, as well as on flights on the airline's regional Caribbean network. In 2023, Jean-Charles Brédas is the 18th chef to work with Air France. To create these menus, the chefs work together with Servair, the world leader in in-flight catering, using fresh, local produce that varies according to the season. In a responsible approach, the meat, poultry, dairy products and eggs on each menu are of French origin, and the fish is from sustainable fisheries on departure from Paris. In addition, vegetarian menus are systematically available in every travel cabin on all the airline's flights. E. Renaut La Première dish Emmanuel Renaut and Angelo Musa in the La Première cabin on departure from Paris Air France's La Première cabin offers each customer a gourmet dining experience worthy of the finest restaurants. Voted "World's Best First-Class Onboard Catering" at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2023, Air France is entrusting its new menu to Emmanuel Renaut from November onwards. Angelo Musa A lover of Savoyard cuisine, the triple Michelin-starred chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France combines local produce with French culinary heritage. Emmanuel Renault has come up with a total of eight dishes to be enjoyed over the coming months, including farmhouse chicken confit with mushrooms and a vegetable mille-feuille, and a creamy blend of root vegetables, button mushrooms, porcini mushrooms and Beaufort, the flagship product of Savoyard cuisine. "Nature is a source of inspiration that is as infinite as it is fragile. My cuisine tells a story, one of simplicity, indulgence and comfort. This is what I wanted to pass on to Air France passengers", said Emmanuel Renaut. As for desserts, Angelo Musa, with his unique technique, will add a sweet touch to the cabin’s menus. Four high-flying desserts will soon be appearing on the menu, including his mango, citrus and cognac baba and the chocomûre, combining the power of pure Venezuelan dark chocolate with the tangy notes of wild blackberry. P. Urraca Business pastry Anne-Sophie Pic and Philippe Urraca in the Business cabin on departure from Paris In the long-haul Business cabin, Anne-Sophie Pic is creating new culinary delights for Air France customers. This season, the triple Michelin-starred chef has created eight menus to be enjoyed on board, including a chicken supreme with sake, revealing the power of Japanese ingredients combined with local French produce, and roast parsnip - a forgotten vegetable that is now increasingly popular - with dill butter and curry combined with walnuts. "For Air France customers, I've created some unique dishes highlighting French produce. I've worked on them by playing on the combination of original flavours and the strength of the tastes", said Anne-Sophie Pic. For the first time, Air France is also entrusting a top pastry chef with the signature desserts available in the Business cabin. Philippe Urraca, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, has created an Opera, a Black Forest and a Yuzu Entremets to round off this high-flying culinary experience. Jean-Charles Brédas in the Business cabin on departure from the French West Indies, French Guiana and the Caribbean regional network Since 1 November 2023, the airline has also been offering new dishes by Martinique chef Jean-Charles Brédas in the Business cabin on flights departing from the French West Indies (Pointe à Pitre, Fort de France, Saint Martin) and French Guiana (Cayenne) to Paris, as well as on flights on the regional Caribbean network linking Cayenne to Fort de France, Pointe à Pitre to Miami and Pointe à Pitre to Montreal. For Air France, the chef has come up with no fewer than twelve new dishes which will be available on board over the coming months, including a creamy risotto with coconut milk, pigeon peas - a staple product of the Caribbean - almonds and giraumon, as well as a roasted grouper fillet served with crunchy papaya sauerkraut, green sauce and dachine cubes. For each dish, the chef has taken care to favour local and seasonal produce, in line with the company's standards. "My cuisine is carefully thought out. I've created simple recipes using local produce that reflect my Creole and mixed-race identity, a cuisine that combines the pleasures of taste and sight: where the land meets the sea.” As part of the fight against food waste, Air France is offering its customers travelling in the Business cabin the option of pre-selecting their hot dish up to 24 hours before their flight. This service combines the guarantee of availability of the customer's choice with fairer consumption on board. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Air France.

Anthony Bold, the visionary founder and CEO of DRINKWATR, is on a mission to revolutionize the drinking water industry and provide global access to high-quality electrolyte drinking water. As one of Miami’s top business leaders, Bold is making national headlines for his commitment to utilizing and leveraging innovative technologies and processes. He’s not just selling a new water brand, but also offering a lifestyle brand and community that people can experience and interact with everyday. Bold is pioneering a new market category in the beverage space called BevTech, by incorporating functional and engaging technology and design elements into every facet of his beverage company.  His ultimate goal with DRINKWATR is to introduce a global public health solution that drives the industry forward and optimizes the quality and utility of daily drinking water in public places. Bold’s passion for enhancing the standard of daily drinking water is evident in every aspect of how he runs his business. DRINKWATR’s current mission is focused on developing and introducing innovative holistic solutions that support hydration and wellness. DRINKWATR’s proprietary blend of electrolytes, minerals and filtered water offers customers a daily source of electrolyte support with an 8.8 alkaline pH balance, providing superior antioxidant support. The various minerals in DRINKWATR’s proprietary water formula hydrates consumers and offers tangible health benefits, including reduced inflammation, increased energy, mental clarity, and improved cardiovascular health. DRINKWATR’s commitment to sustainability is another cornerstone to the company's mission. The company utilizes biodegradable bottles and environmentally friendly corrugated shipping boxes, ensuring that the product balances customer wellness with an impactful environmental effect on the earth. Bold’s decision to not use aluminum is derived from potential negative health effects that can happen with the build up and accumulation of microbes and bacteria, many of which can lead to major illnesses like Alzheimer's. In turn, Bold chose the best and safest vessel for his water product that is most conducive to human health and sustainable impact. His interest in balancing human wellness with sustainable business practices drives every single decision at DRINKWATR. Since its launch in December 2022, DRINKWATR has experienced remarkable success in the South Florida market, selling to high-end retailers like Equinox Miami, Rumble Boxing and Miami International Airport. DRINKWATR is currently available in dozens of retail locations throughout Miami, St. Simons Island, and Atlanta, with expansion plans for new markets happening this summer, which will include Charlotte, Orlando, Aspen, New York City, the Hamptons, Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston, Nashville, West Palm Beach, and Amelia Island to name a few. This next phase of expansion will embolden the brand’s mass appeal and Bold’s mission to shift and improve the future of hydration. Access to clean drinking water, particularly in public or rural spaces, is a global problem that has yet to be solved with a scalable solution. In addition, sustainable water resource management is another obstacle that has yet to be addressed. Many public ecosystems have unfiltered and poor water quality– this is a problem Bold will be introducing an advanced global solution later this year that utilizes hardware and software to provide the highest quality drinking water available on the market. This new product solution developed by Bold has never been seen before, and he believes it will lead the industry in sustainability, superior water quality, and water utility. By ML staff.

L’Oréal Groupe today announced the launch of MelasylTM, a breakthrough molecule designed to address localized pigmentation issues that lead to age spots and post-acne marks. According to a landmark, worldwide epidemiological study on pigmentary disorders, half of all people report having at least one skin pigmentation issue1. L’Oréal formulations containing the new proprietary ingredient work inclusively, across all skin tones, to address pigmented marks on the skin and improve their appearance. Melasyl is the result of rigorous tests involving 121 scientific studies. Cosmetic products formulated with multi-patented Melasyl help provide a more even, natural skin tone, addressing even the most persistent marks. Eighteen years of research have culminated in the introduction of Melasyl, which is now available in La Roche Posay’s Mela B3 franchise, including MelaB3 serum and MelaB3 SPF30. L’Oréal Paris and Vichy will follow with future product launches, expanding consumer access to expert formulations containing the new ingredient. “With half of all people reporting skin pigmentation issues and a third of these experiencing lower quality of life as a result, the impact of visible spots or post-acne marks is clearly more than skin-deep,” said Anne Colonna, Global Head of Advanced Research at L’Oréal Groupe. “Melasyl is a first-of-its kind ingredient that helps to address localized skin pigmentation issues, with proven efficacy and wide accessibility that will enable more people to regain their selfconfidence.”Melanin enables the vast spectrum of human skin tones in all their diversity, with melanin production increasing following sun exposure to protect skin cells. Many factors can upset normal melanin production, which can lead to localized pigmentation issues such as age spots and post-inflammatory marks. L’Oréal formulations containing Melasyl improve the appearance of existing dark spots, including persistent ones, with clinically demonstrated efficacy and safety across all skin tones. For over a century, L’Oréal has been a leader in advanced sciences for beauty, with 35 years of dedicated research into skin pigmentation. Melasyl was first presented at the World Congress of Dermatology 2023 in Singapore, alongside the first worldwide epidemiological study on pigmentary disorders. Melasyl was recently featured at the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual meeting in San Diego from March 8-12, 2024. By ML Staff. Image courtesy of L’Oréal

Moving into a new apartment but worried your dog may not be allowed to move in with you? If you can prove that your dog is an emotional support animal (ESA), then there is no reason to be afraid. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) ensures that your pet will be permitted to live with you in your apartment even if it doesn’t allow pets. In this article, we are going to explain how you can get your dog registered as an ESA so it can move in with you to your new apartment. Image by Vitaly Gariev / Unsplash How to Register a Dog as an ESA To get your dog registered as an emotional support animal, all you have to do is pick a registry and then share some details about yourself and your pet. Once you’ve done that, you’ll get an ID card for your dog, which you can show to your landlord to confirm that your pet is an ESA. An ID card won’t be enough, though, and you’ll also need an ESA letter from a mental health professional. Ideally, the company that issues you the ID card should also help you get the letter. The ESA letter will ensure that your dog is recognized as an ESA no matter where you go. Keep in mind that, before issuing you the letter, your mental health professional will confirm that you suffer from a mental health condition and your dog’s presence helps you cope with it. Can My Dog Live In My Apartment as an ESA? Yes, once you have received an ESA letter from a certified mental health professional, your dog will be allowed to live in your apartment even if it has a no-pet policy. You’ll have to show the letter to the landlord when requesting to have the dog move in with you. Your landlord can’t charge you additional fees for accommodating your dog, but if your pet damages their property, then you may be liable to pay the repair costs. According to the Fair Housing Act (FHA), it is unlawful for a person to “refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.” You must be able to show that your dog offers you emotional relief when moving into a new apartment. Note that while you can take your ESA almost everywhere with you, if it causes disturbance or creates issues for other people, you could be asked to take it elsewhere. Unlike service dogs, ESAs don’t enjoy as many privileges. For example, service dogs have more extensive legal protection thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In many cases, you can take more than one service dog to a restaurant as long as you can prove that each dog serves a different purpose. Service dogs have to undergo extensive training, though, in order to be qualified as a service dog. Emotional support animals don’t require any such training and you just have to get an ESA letter from a mental health professional. Since ESAs don’t have to be trained by a professional trainer, there are certain responsibilities that come with owning one. For example, you have to make sure that your pet exhibits good behavior and doesn’t disturb your neighbors. This is especially important if you’re living in a small apartment. The benefit of having your pet live with you in your apartment is that you’ll always have a furry friend to play and spend time with! Image by Vitaly Gariev / Unsplash Register Your Dog as an ESA If you want your pet to start living with you in your new apartment, then we suggest getting it registered as an ESA as soon as possible. Make sure you get an ESA letter from a certified mental health professional as well, because that’s what you’ll be asked to present when moving into an apartment that has a no-pets policy. The letter will serve as your official documentation, verifying the legitimacy of your dog’s status as an ESA. Once you have that out of the way, your dog can finally start living with you in your apartment! By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Unsplash

Lilac essential oil is known for its delicate, tender aroma and the many benefits that it can bring to hair and skin. Lilac essential oil has been used for centuries, and it is one of the more popular essential oils to be found in topical treatments due to its pleasant scent and the benefits it can have when applied to the body. Our guide gives you an overview of the most notable lilac essential oil benefits to be aware of as you start to incorporate this essential oil into your beauty routine. Image by icons8_team / Unsplash What Is Lilac Essential Oil? Lilac essential oil comes from the lilac tree, native to the Balkan Peninsula. The lilac tree has been used throughout the globe for centuries and has a significant value when it comes to traditional medicine treatments. Lilac, and lilac essential oil may be used to deal with muscle aches, gout, toothaches, stomach issues, and skin problems, such as wounds or inflammation. Today, lilac is most popularly used as part of skincare products, hair care items, and aromatherapy. The scent of the diffused lilac essential oil may be used to relieve stress or other aches and pains, in addition to creating a pleasant, relaxing environment. What Does Lilac Essential Oil Smell Like? Lilac essential oil smells very delicate and green; it may be soft, creamy, and with hints of almond. It has floral notes, and many individuals may describe the aroma as being pleasing without being too overpowering. It blends well with other floral and exotic scents, such as jasmine, vanilla, bergamot, lavender, and grapefruit. Benefits of Lilac Essential Oil According to the experts at Wholesale Botanics, lilac essential oil has many benefits when diffused as part of aromatherapy treatments or when diluted and applied topically to hair or skin. It’s important that you do not consume lilac essential oil or apply it to your hair and skin without first diluting it, as this can cause stomach issues, irritation, and skin reactions. Stress Relief One of the most notable benefits of lilac essential oil is its potential to relieve stress. You can diffuse a few drops of lilac essential oil as part of aromatherapy to fill a room with this scent. Linalool is the active compound in lilac essential oil that has been studied for its benefits in promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and creating a calming environment. Skin Health Lilac essential oil is known to be anti-inflammatory, which means that it works well to promote skin health. You can use lilac essential oil as part of a moisturizer or body oil to soothe dry or irritated skin and promote skin healing. Lilac essential oil is also full of vitamins A and E, and it shows antimicrobial properties. This means that lilac essential oil may help boost skin health overall and fight bacteria on the skin, potentially making it useful in reducing blemishes or acne. Some skincare products may use lilac essential oil as part of a blend of natural oils to reduce UV radiation, protecting the skin from sun damage. However, if your skin is very sensitive to the sun, we recommend not depending entirely on lilac essential oil to shield your skin. Pain Relief Lilac essential oil has been studied for its pain relief benefits, and several compounds present in lilac essential oil may contribute to its analgesic properties, meaning it can reduce pain when applied topically. You can use lilac essential oil as part of a cream or body oil and massage it on sore muscles or aching joints to help soothe the pain and promote overall healing and pain relief in your body. Anti-Aging As we mentioned above, lilac essential oil is good for skin health, and it may also be useful when it comes to anti-aging. Compounds in lilac essential oil such as certain antioxidants can fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress to the skin. In turn, this helps to promote skin collagen and elasticity, something that improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It may also make the skin appear fuller and plumper, giving it an overall more youthful appearance. Image by Daiga Ellaby / Unsplash Hair Growth and Health Lilac essential oil has many benefits for the skin when used topically. It can also encourage hair growth and improve hair health. Compounds in lilac essential oil can stimulate hair follicles, which can lead to fuller, thicker, and healthier hair. Lilac essential oil is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, and when applied to the scalp, it may help to soothe dry skin, reduce irritation to the scalp, and allow hair to grow out healthier overall. The best way to incorporate lilac essential oil into your routine is by mixing a few drops into your favorite shampoo or conditioner or creating a hair mask with this essential oil to nourish and condition your locks. How Do I Use Lilac Essential Oil? Lilac essential oil is very versatile, and this essential oil can be used in a number of different ways. It’s important that you always dilute this essential oil, and this can be done by adding a few drops of the oil into a carrier oil and massaging it into your skin. You could also add a few drops of the oil into a lotion, face moisturizer, or a hair mask. For maximum hair benefits, you may want to add lilac essential oil to your favorite shampoo and conditioner. If you wish to diffuse lilac essential oil and use its pleasant, comforting scent to relax yourself or create an environment that reduces stress, add a few drops of this essential oil into a diffuser and allow the aroma to fill your room. Building Your Beauty Routine With Lilac Essential Oil Lilac essential oil is beneficial in many different ways, and adding this essential oil to your beauty or aromatherapy routine can be helpful in improving skin health, encouraging hair growth, and promoting a relaxing atmosphere. Make sure you always dilute this essential oil before using, and take your time to breathe in its green, sweet, and relaxing scent to truly appreciate everything it has to offer your daily routine.

Spam texts pop up at all hours, promising prizes you never won or deals too good to be true. These unsolicited messages clutter our inboxes, waste our time, and pose a great risk to our private and sensitive information. Engaging with just one spam message can expose you to malware and phishing. Android users are particularly targeted, given the platform's vast global user base and open ecosystem. This article is your ultimate guide for stopping spam texts on Android and enjoying a cleaner, safer messaging experience from now on. Image by Nordwood Themes / Unsplash How To Identify Spam Texts Not every text that pops up on your phone deserves your attention. Spam texts, especially, are the ones you want to avoid. Luckily, there are ways to tell if a text is spam or legit. Here are some key signs: Promises of freebies or unexpected prizes: If a text message announces you've won a contest you don't remember entering, it's likely spam. Real prize notifications don't come out of the blue. Urgent calls to action: Be wary of texts urging you to act immediately, especially if they ask for personal or financial information. Phrases like "Act now!" or "Your account will be closed!" are common in scams. Links to unfamiliar websites: Spam texts include links that look odd or don't match the company's usual website address. Always avoid clicking on these links. Requests for personal information: Any text asking for personal details, like your Social Security number or bank account info, is a red flag. Legitimate companies don't request sensitive information via text. Grammar and spelling errors: Many spam texts are riddled with mistakes. A message from a reputable company will usually be well-written. Generic greetings: Spam often uses non-specific greetings like "Dear user" or "Dear [your phone number]" rather than your actual name. An email lookup engine is also helpful in addition to these signs. If a text message includes an email address or prompts you to reply to one, running it through an email lookup service can help verify the sender's authenticity. Four Ways to Prevent Spam Texts on Android Now that you know what spam text looks like, explore this list of five ways to stop spam texts on your Android phone. 1. Enable Spam Protection Most Android phones have built-in options to help you identify and block spam texts. Here’s how you can enable this feature: Open the messaging app you use most often. This might be Google Messages or another app pre-installed on your device. Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu, then select "Settings." Look for a section named "Spam protection," "Caller ID & spam," or something similar. The exact wording can vary depending on your device and app version. Switch this feature on. Some apps may offer additional options, like automatically deleting detected spam messages or warning you before you answer calls from suspicious numbers. 2. Block the Number If you keep getting spam from the same number, blocking it might be your best bet. Here’s how to do it: In your messaging app, open the conversation thread from the spammer. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner to access the conversation settings. Choose "Block number" or "Block contact." Confirm your choice. This action will prevent further messages and calls from that number. Some Android versions also allow you to add these numbers to a blacklist via the Phone app under "Settings" > "Blocked numbers." 3. Report Spam Reporting spam helps everyone by teaching the system's algorithm to identify and catch similar spam in the future: Select the unwanted message in your messaging app. Tap the "Report spam" option, which may be directly visible or located within a menu (look for three dots in the top corner). Follow the prompts to confirm the report. This can vary but usually involves confirming the message is spam and sending the report. Reporting helps refine spam filters and aids carriers and authorities in tracking spam sources. 4. Use Third-Party Apps When all else fails, or you just want an extra layer of protection, third-party apps are a lifesaver. Here are some tips for using third-party apps to prevent spam texts: Some of the best third-party spam blocker apps are Truecaller, Hiya, and Nomorobo. These apps offer extensive features for identifying and blocking spam texts and calls. When installing, carefully review the app permissions to ensure they don’t access more information than necessary. Set up is typically straightforward: download the app, follow the instructions to grant permissions, and customize the settings. Many of these apps work by comparing incoming messages and calls against vast databases of known spammers, offering real-time protection and peace of mind.

Cambridge Distillery, in a remarkable collaboration with Cambridge University Botanic Garden, has unveiled its latest creation, Darwin Collection Gin: Americas Herbarium. This release marks a celebration of botanical exploration and pays homage to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking legacy. Inspired by Darwin's iconic journey aboard the HMS Beagle, this gin captures the spirit of adventure and curiosity that defined his expedition. Carefully curated from meticulously sourced botanicals, including juniper, cinnamon leaf, barberry, wild strawberry, and baccharis magellanica, the blend traces its origins back to the historical depths of the Cambridge University Herbarium. Under the guidance of esteemed curator Professor Sam Brockington, Cambridge Distillery's team expertly paired botanical specimens from the Herbarium with equivalent ones from the renowned Cambridge University Botanic Garden, designed by Darwin's mentor, John Stevens Henslow. This collaboration resulted in an exquisite blend that vividly represents the vibrant tapestry of Darwin's South American expedition. Master Distiller and Co-Founder of Cambridge Distillery, William Lowe MW, expressed his awe at the opportunity to work with Darwin's hand-collected samples. He noted the significance of translating some part of Darwin's voyage into the medium of flavor, calling it a career highlight. The limited-edition Darwin Collection Gin: Americas Herbarium is not only a testament to Darwin's enduring legacy but also a unique gift for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike. With its rich history, meticulous craftsmanship, and exquisite flavor profile, it stands as a remarkable addition to any collection. To learn more visit Cambridge Distillery's website. By ML Staff.
