I ditched my heavy makeup and thick lashes – people say it was the best decision I ever made
A BEAUTY lover has shared how she transformed after she stopped wearing heavy makeup and thick eyelashes.
She embraced her natural beauty, and people say it was the best decision she ever made.
Content creator Venus Turner (@venusturnerr) is a nail technician and beauty lover based in Sydney, Australia.
She often gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at her job and showcases her toned and curvy body to her audience.
In a TikTok video, she hopped on a viral social media trend where she showcased what she looked like when she decided to stop wearing heavy makeup.
She was gorgeous before but her natural look left people in awe.
The video consisted of before and after photos that showed the difference between her with and without makeup.
A selfie of Venus with her hair expertly curled and her makeup flawlessly done appeared at the start of it and was emphasized by false lighting.
“Me after realizing thick lashes and heavy makeup wasn’t for me,” the subtitle read.
A GIF of the Stranger Things’ character Mike was at the bottom of the visual where he walked forward and snapped his fingers.
The background photo changed to show her now sitting in a car surrounded by natural light with wet hair and wearing barely any makeup.
Venus captured the attention of many people and received over four million likes for the TikTok.
“Being naturally beautiful is such a flex,” one viewer commented.
“Less is more,” another chimed in.
“Best decision you ever made,” an admirer added.
“Imagine waking up and looking that perfect,” a fan praised.
I moved house and ditched broadband provider but I’m still being billed by the old one
WHEN I moved house last year I asked TalkTalk to switch my broadband to my new address, but it didn’t work.
I moved to a new provider but TalkTalk still sent me a bill for £83. Can you help? Irene Russell, Wolverhampton
Sun Money’s Lucy Alderson helps a reader out with her broadband predicament[/caption]
You were tearing your hair out when a simple broadband switch didn’t go to plan.
In September, you asked TalkTalk if your broadband service could be swapped over to your new home.
But when you moved in and tried to get your internet fired up, it wasn’t working.
The switch hadn’t worked properly, and you were left offline.
You and your husband are in your mid-70s and confess you are not computer literate, so struggled to figure out how to get hold of TalkTalk to solve the issue.
You ended up sending six letters in the post complaining about the service.
After two weeks of trying to get the problem fixed, you decided to move to Sky.
You sent TalkTalk a letter explaining this and cancelled your direct debit.
TalkTalk still continued to charge you for the following three months and in total you paid almost £83.
TalkTalk told me that it did try to contact you over email and phone about the issue, but couldn’t get through.
You said there were no missed calls on your mobile.
It seems there had been a communication breakdown, but TalkTalk has provided you with a full refund, and a spokesman said: “We’re sorry to hear about Irene’s experience.”
Always contact your provider before cancelling your contract or stopping your direct debit.
Keep a record of when, and how, you tried to contact your provider if you’re struggling to get a response.
If you’re still having issues after eight weeks, contact the communications ombudsman, who can help resolve your case.

Apple Ditched Plan for $50 Apple Pencil With iPhone Support at the Last Minute, Claims Sketchy Rumor
According to a Weibo post, shared on Twitter by DuanRui, Apple allegedly intended to release the new Apple Pencil, codenamed “Maker” (or, more likely, “Marker”) at its September 2022 event, and even went so far as to mass produce over one million units of the accessory, only to can its launch at the eleventh hour for unspecified reasons.
To cut costs, the device allegedly lacked pressure sensing technology or a rechargeable battery, and instead utilized an onboard chip to power the stylus through the iPad or iPhone screen, similar to how Samsung’s S-Pen stylus works.
At $49, the unreleased Apple Pencil would have been significantly cheaper than the first-generation and second-generation Apple Pencil models, which are priced at $99 and $129, respectively.
Unfortunately, the source of the Apple Pencil rumor has no track record, so the claims need to be taken with a large pinch of salt. Furthermore, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors of an Apple Pencil being developed to work with iPhones, none of which have come to fruition.
The new Apple Pencil even supported the iPhone, but the project was terminated closer to launch. It is said that more than one million levels had been stocked at that time, and now they should all be scrapped.(2/2)

Still, a battery-less Apple Pencil would pair well with the latest tenth-generation iPad, which comes with a USB-C port and requires an ungainly $9 Lightning dongle to work with the first-generation Apple Pencil. Again though, why Apple would kill plans for an accessory that had entered mass production is unclear.
If it really was a thing, and so many units were manufactured by Apple, then past history would suggest some units will eventually be leaked. Would you welcome an Apple Pencil for iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

Co-op have ditched this year’s Christmas advert to focus on food bank campaign
CO-op have ditched its Christmas advert this year to focus on a food bank project.
The supermarket is pumping its ad campaign cash into a network of Your Local Pantry shops where Brits can pick up food at a discount.
And it is live streaming a cookalong on Instagram with chef and rapper Big Zuu tonight to share tips on making groceries go further.
Co-op will fund 150 new shops, bringing the total of Your Local Pantry supermarkets up to 225.
Shirine Khoury-Haq, CEO at Co-op said: “Whilst many of our competitors are adapting their Christmas ads to reflect the mood of the nation in a cost-of-living crisis, we are going further by pulling our ad altogether.
“In doing so we will be shining a light on the need to support vital community causes, throughout the year and not just at Christmas, especially with a deep recession looming.”

Tonight’s cook along with Big Zuu and chef Miguel Barclay will be streamed from the Local Peckham Pantry in South London.
Big Zuu added: “Everyone deserves access to great quality food at affordable prices.
“I hope that by visiting the Peckham Pantry and cooking up some healthy, tasty and more affordable meals with the team, more people in need will seek out community initiatives like Your Local Pantry.”
Your Local Pantry shops support over 32,000 low-income households and sells food that would otherwise go to waste at a discount.
