This Is the Easiest Way to Get Silver, Brass, and Copper Jewelry Sparkling Clean

This Is the Easiest Way to Get Silver, Brass, and Copper Jewelry Sparkling Clean

A couple Christmases ago, tucked inside a box containing a beautiful pair of earrings, I received a tiny present that may be even better than the jewelry itself: a metal polishing cloth. At first, I didn’t think much of the unassuming square of fabric, but after wearing my new silver earrings for a couple weeks, I realized how amazing this simple cleaning cloth was. Without having to use any messy creams or time-consuming soaks, this magical cloth was somehow able to make the metal look brand-new within just a couple minutes. For those who don’t have time to treat their jewelry to a mini bubble bath once per week (who does?), but can handle giving their accessories a quick polish while watching Netflix, this cloth is about to change the jewelry-cleaning game.

The best-selling jewelry polishing cloth on Amazon, this large 12-by-15-inch cloth costs just $7, and has more than 2,000 positive reviews from verified purchases. While the non-toxic fabric was originally developed for polishing silver by the company Sabrina Silver, it also works on most other metals, including copper, brass, and gold. In the reviews, several customers share their before-and-after pictures, so you can see firsthand how it makes all types of metals shine.

The affordable fur coats come in so many styles, from long, glamorous jackets to short, puffy designs.

This Positive T-Shirt Label Gives New Meaning to the Phrase Free the Nipple

The T-shirt label HighRack Honey embraces, well, racks. You know, bodacious breasts! Boobs. Magical orbs that sway to and fro. Started by Melbourne-based stylist Tessa McGregor, HighRack Honey’s seedy-chic tops have become a bit of a hit, attracting the attention of a slew of Australian Instagram stars, as well as Kylie Jenner and Victoria’s Secret Angel Romee Strijd. The shirts range in how much they reveal—from cheeky, simple pieces like the ever-popular Darlin’ shirt in black and white with snap buttons down the front to the frilly ruched crop top in gingham that is appropriately titled Boobtube.

McGregor’s inspirations are all over the map—’80s swimsuit shoots, ’90s Victoria’s Secret catalogs, and retro porn, not to mention a general appreciation for the timeless beauty of the female form. “I wanted to make something you could feel as sexy in as your lingerie. Something that flatters the body,” says McGregor, adding, “I loved in the ’90s that a plain white singlet with jeans was the ultimate sexy outfit. I wanted to bring that back, but add something to it.” McGregor started her brand three years ago by embroidering tops that she had purchased at local secondhand shops. “I experimented with styles and cuts, and figured out what I felt most amazing in. Then finally we were able to have our own manufactured. They were based on a mix of secondhand tops I liked,” she says. “And who doesn’t love a ribbed tee?”

Our worst Lemonade fears were seemingly confirmed when Jay-Z released his confessional album 4:44, alluding to infidelity. But it wasn’t yesterday, when Jay-Z referenced his cheating outright in an interview with T: The New York Times Magazine that we were 100% sure.

Any time an idealized celebrity couple struggles with infidelity, it can push our buttons. In addition to crushing our romantic fantasies about perfect relationships, it puts personal anxieties into high gear. I have had more than one person in my therapy practice say, “I [insert gorgeous star here]'s husband cheated on her, what hope is there for me?” But the assumptions behind that thinking is flawed—that cheating is about how attractive, sexy, or desirable a partner is. Really, that's not what infidelity is about.

I find that most often, people cheat because of a lack of connection in the relationship. Most people don't realize how important creating, maintaining, and nurturing connection in a relationship is. There will always be temptations—for preternaturally beautiful celebrities, multiply that by about a thousand—but when a couple is feeling connected the odds that a partner will act on those temptations decreases significantly. Studies show that only 7% of cheating women and 8% of men cheated due to sexual dissatisfaction, the vast majority cheated either because a lack of emotional connection in the relationship or a combination of a lack of emotional and sexual connection in the relationship. It is clear from Jay Z‘s words that this was the case for him. He has shared how his experience from his childhood made him shut down emotionally, making it difficult to connect.

ictoria’s Secret model Kelly Gale says it took a week to get the glitter off after the runway

ictoria’s Secret model Kelly Gale says it took a week to get the glitter off after the runway

Chatting to Victoria’s Secret model Kelly Gale after she flew from Shanghai to Sydney to attend Swarovski’s spring/summer ’18 collection launch, it had been almost a week since she’d walked the VS runway. While she let us in on all the backstage secrets from year’s VS show, she also revealed that she still hadn’t managed to get the glitter and bronzer off since the runway. 

“I was looking at my stomach yesterday and I still have glitter all over my stomach from the show.”

“I still don’t think it’s off,” she adds. 

Gale said she’s not one to wear a lot of sparkle in her day-to-day life (except “these beautiful earrings,” she says, gesturing to her ears which are adorned with a Swarovski creation), she says she does wear a small amount of jewellery and loves mixing rose gold, yellow gold and silver. 

Overall, she said this year’s Victoria’s Secret show was “super fun.”

“I have done one in New York, one in London, one in Paris and then this one was in Shanghai and all of them have been amazing in different ways.”

“It was my first time in China, in Shanghai. The fans there are incredible. It was crazy how many people love the brand and love us. It was very nice.”

Victoria’s Secret model Victoria Lee on hair spray challenges and her next big job

After being tapped for her very first Victoria’s Secret runway in 2017, which airs tonight in Australia, it seems the world is Victoria Lee’s oyster.

David Jones announced Lee as their newest ambassador days after filming for the show finished. The Narrandera native spoke to Vogue about the challenges of walking the Victoria’s Secret show for the very first time and what it means to the model to be working for the iconic David Jones.

What does it mean for you to be tapped by a brand like David Jones?

“It’s incredible - I’m still pinching myself. David Jones is such a loved, iconic and trusted Australian brand. To be a part of the David Jones family and to follow in such inspirational footsteps as Megan Gale and Miranda Kerr is a real honour and I’m thrilled!”

Tell us about your Victoria's Secret debut - what were the highlights? 

“The highlight was working with all the talented people involved. So much work and effort goes into the show behind the scenes - it’s 12 months of planning. So simply to be involved in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is amazing. Also the girls I was there with - we spent four days together in Shanghai. I feel so lucky to have enjoyed my first show with such a lovely group of girls. So warm, encouraging and welcoming.”

What was the best advice you received from your fellow models?

“Adrenalin will carry you! Don’t stress about your shoes! We are all in the same boat and it is challenging - just do your best. And have fun!”

Was there anything about walking in the 2017 VS show that surprised you? 

“How much fun it was!! Of course I had butterflies but I thought I would be more nervous or anxious. When I was standing backstage and during practice runs I was just having a really good time and ready to go.”

How long did it take you to de-Victoria’s Secret yourself after the show? 

“This year there were no tans. So that wasn’t an issue but I did have a lot of hair spray to get rid of!”

What's the biggest lesson you've learnt form VS that you will take with your throughout your career? 

“Be confident. Be yourself. Enjoy the moment.”
