LUSH LASHES Lash Ribbons, based in Huddersfield, recently launched a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly DIY lash system. This beauty product, which is also called a Lash Ribbon, is a 15-16cm strip of lightweight lash segments presented on an ultra-thin band. The band has been extensively developed so that the customer can place it underneath their own lashes without any discomfort and can be double or even triple stacked to create the most voluminous set of lash extensions. The business was developed during lockdown after recognising a niche in the lash extension market. Rachael Hanley, managing director said, “I wanted to bring to the market a lash extension system that was the most customisable whilst remaining the most affordable. I’m pleased to say I’ve now achieved this. Not only are the lash ribbons vegan friendly but are completely reusable.” For further information, visit https://lashribbons.com HAPPILY MARRIED IN SHEFFIELD It’s official, if you want to be in with the best chance of having a long, happy marriage − you should move to Sheffield. Believe it or not, greetings card manufacturer Scribbler’s recent survey found that: in Sheffield, 92.3 per cent of married adults describe their marriages as being happy. That’s higher than any other major city in the UK. The second most happily married city is Manchester, where 90.3 per cent of married individuals say their marriages are happy. This is then followed by Newcastle (89.6 per cent), Southampton (89.58 per cent) and Plymouth (89.29 per cent). A third of all survey respondents said that they were happily married, and that number jumps to almost half (48 per cent) of all over 55s. Also, a quarter of all respondents said that they had never been married but would like to be. And of the divorcees who responded to the survey, 42 per cent said that they would happily marry again despite having been divorced.

The 12-piece collection is the second from the award-winning British designer, inspired by the reawakening of her love of creativity, new beginnings and the awakening of the world in general, focusing on a lighter look on modern life. Kate Fearnley has seen some significant changes over the last year. The period of enforced reflection led to a move of premises, swapping the busy town centre high street of Middlesbrough for the beautiful and tranquil north Yorkshire countryside, and her hometown of Stokesley. Awaken includes romantic designs, with modern and fashion forward silhouettes featuring the brand’s signature style enhanced with delicate feathers, hand-finished embroidery and threedimensional embellishment. The gowns are relaxed yet luxurious, with movement, freedom and comfort at the forefront of Kate’s mind, using beautiful soft stretch laces, feathers, embroidery and sequins, coupled with vintage inspired lace and the softest of tulles and stretch satin. All the gowns are hand produced at the Stokesley boutique, with originality, quality and sustainability at the core of everything the British brand creates. Stockists are welcome to get in touch to stock the brand, which were also showcased at Harrogate Bridal Fashion Week in September. Visit the website https://katefearnley.com for more information.
