Naomi Campbell started modeling at the ripe age of 15 and went on to acquire supermodel status when she became the first Black model on the cover of French Vogue, the first Black model on the cover of American Vogue’s September issue. And yet, after all of her many accomplishments and years in the spotlight, Naomi has maintained the glowing skin she has maintained the same glowing skin she had at the peak of her modeling career.

Tips to Get Through Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer

del piero

I worried about a lot of things with breast cancer: the actual diagnosis, getting chemo, and losing all of my hair. In fact, I was so busy and distracted reading everything I could about chemo that I hardly spent any time learning about the effects of radiation—which is maybe why I was never that nervous about radiation therapy. I wanted to write this piece because in hindsight, there are several things I wish I’d known before starting radiation. I hope this helps you in your breast cancer journey.

Well, it’s the most obvious place and the first place that anyone will look if need be. Yes, it will also be the first place that any thief may look, so being careful of what you place in there is also important.”

What not to keep in your glove box: Burkhauser recommends keeping your vehicle’s title in your home in a safe. Credit cards, checks, receipts, or any personal information should also not be in your glove box. If you keep your license out of

He is the king of Hollywood interior decor, so British-born Martyn Lawrence Bullard was the obvious person for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to consult about redecorating their new Californian home.

The 53-year-old, originally from Bromley in Kent, was introduced to the couple by his long-term client and friend Sir Elton John, whose LA apartment he decorated in a 1970s Boogie Nights-inspired theme.
