3 days agoNews TalkComments Off on How my ‘perfect’ beauty regime exposed my ex as a cheating rat – what his other woman did is totally unforgivable
AN influencer has shared the peculiar way she found out her love rat ex was cheating – by the other woman using her skincare cream.
Wanessa Moura has a strict morning beauty routine and often likes to share tips and tricks with her 1.3m Instagram followers.

Her products are all carefully organised in her bathroom.
This attention to detail helped her identify that one of her former boyfriends was a two-timer.
When returning from a work trip, the 31-year-old noticed that one of her face creams was running low and her carefully arranged products had been “messed” with.
“I’m obsessed with organisation,” Wanessa, who has even launched her own skincare range, told NeedToKnow.
“I know exactly how much is left of each cream, where every bottle goes, what’s sealed, what’s half-used.
“When I saw one of the jars with a loose cap and a different texture, I knew someone had touched it.
“And it wasn’t me.”
Wanessa claims she had given her ex a key to her place, but knew he wasn’t the “vain” type, so it was highly unlikely that he had touched the cream.
She said, “Someone had messed with my products, and I knew something was wrong.
“He [my ex] would never know how to use that stuff on his own.
“He was the rough type, you know? The kind who thought anything beyond soap was nonsense, and who wouldn’t even wear sunscreen or moisturiser.
“He took pride in never putting anything on his face.
“That’s why, when I noticed my products had been used correctly, I got suspicious right away.
“My ex wouldn’t even know how to open the jar, let alone apply the under-eye cream properly.”
But using my expensive products without permission? That, to me, is unforgivable
Wanessa Moura
Unable to let the incident go, Wanessa, who hails from Brazil, confronted her ex.
When pressed for answers, he confessed.
Wanessa added: “He cheated on me, and the mistress left with glowing skin. It’s absurd!
“The relationship ended right then and there, of course.
“But to this day, I’m furious.
“Being cheated on is already bad enough.

“But using my expensive products without permission?
“That, to me, is unforgivable.”
This isn’t the only beauty-related incident that the influencer has dealt with.
Last year, she claimed that another one of her exes was so vain that she would spend more time getting ready than she did.
At the time, Wanessa said: “He started spending absurd amounts on beauty products and even using mine.
“Facial care is important, and I love that men take care of themselves, but when he starts spending more on aesthetics than I do, something is wrong.”
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
3 days agoNews TalkComments Off on The 89p cupboard staple that will get your decking sparkling for summer – it works better than a pressure washer
AN EXPERT has revealed an 89p hack to make sure your decking is sparkling this summer.
Now that summer is finally upon us, and withtemperatures set to ramp upagain this week, many of us are likelymaking plans to have friends and family over for BBQs.
It can be tricky to get algae and moss off your deckGettyWhite vinegar is a budget-friendly hack to get your deck sparkling[/caption]
However, before you invite any guests over, you’ll want to make sure your decking is looking in tip top shape.
If your decking is covered in dirt and unsightly algae, your first thought might be to blast it with a pressure washer, however, these can be incredibly pricey.
Plus, using a pressure washer on softwood decking or composite boards can even damage it by stripping away protective coatings and causing splintering.
For those looking for a more penny-pinching-friendly approach, Helen Godsiff, a home improvement expert from Eurocell, has revealed that white vinegar is perfect for getting your decking sparkling.
She said: “As we head into the summer months, your garden becomes an extension of your living space, and a well-maintained deck can make it the perfect spot for enjoying the sunnier evenings and hosting gatherings.
“With just a bit of preparation and the right cleaning approach for your decking, you can revive tired boards, prevent long-term damage and subsequent costs, and enjoy a more attractive outdoor space.”
Before cleaning your decking, make sure to remove all furniture, plant pots and accessories from your decking, and then give it a sweep to remove any loose debris.
Then, mix half of white vinegar with one quarter of a cup of baking powder and three litres of water.
Use a soft brush to rub the vinegar mixture into the patio, then make sure to rinse it thoroughly afterwards.
Helen warned: “Vinegar is a natural and effective cleaner, but it contains acetic acid, which can stain your deck if left on the surface too long.”
The expert revealed that to make sure your decking looks in good condition all year round, regular maintenance is essential.
“Simple maintenance like brushing away fallen leaves, using pot feet for air circulation, placing covers over outdoor furniture and ensuring good drainage around the deck area can also help reduce long-term wear and weather damage”, Helen said.
The expert added that timber decking requires a little more upkeep than other types of decking so its a good idea to apply a sealant or decking oil once a year.
And if your decking is covered in mould, social media users recently revealed another budget friendly hack to get it sparkling.
How to clean green algae off decking
Is your decking covered in green algae or moss?
The experts at Ronseal have shared their guide to cleaning your decking after a wet and warm winter.
You’ll need:
A wire brush
Decking cleaner
A pressure washer or hose
Clear the decking
Clear your decking and grab a broom – give it decking a good sweep to dislodge any dirt.
Choose your cleaner
Some cleaners are better at tackling certain jobs than others, so you need to consider what it is you want the cleaner to do.
Decking Cleaner and Reviver preps new wood whilst cleaning up older decking. It can tackle algae and mould and can be used over stains and oils. It’s a good general-purpose cleaner and can brighten up your decking throughout the year. This is good for decking that’s dirtier than average and in instances where a brush and jet wash don’t quite cut it.
Decking Stripper is for tough stubborn stains that won’t budge. It does exactly what it says on the tin and strips all stains and oils from your decking. It’s ideal for prepping your deck ready for a fresh coat of stain, paint or oil. This is most effective with really, really dirty and discoloured decking that needs reviving.
Clean your decking
Top tip: Before you power ahead, read the instructions on the back of the packet. Some of our cleaners don’t need water and can be poured directly onto your decking.
Posting in theFacebook group“Cleaning tips tricks and hacks” one person asked: “Has anyone got any hacks for cleaning green mould off decking and patio areas without a power washer and a lot of scrubbing.”
One reply said: “Washing powder! Sprinkle all over it and brush it in, let the rain do the rest – it comes up really bright and clean.”
According to gardening enthusiasts from the popular Gardening On A Budget Official group on Facebook, the common laundry essential is a good hack for cleaning patios.
One member of the page explained: “I’ve used Aldi washing powder in hot water and brushed on with a stiff broom.
“Removed months of dirt and moss,” the gardening lover claimed.
If you want to give this a go you can pick up Aldi washing powders from £3.95 for a 2kg bag.

A THIRD Chinese scientist has been charged for allegedly smuggling “biological material” into the United States.

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of MichiganShe initially denied sending the parcels at all, court documents claim[/caption]
In the latest case, Han Chengxuan was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Sunday.
Cops claim she sent four packages from China to the States that contained “biological material related to round worms”.
These packages were sent to people linked to the University of Michigan lab between September 2024 and March 2025.
Han has been charged with smuggling goods into the United States.
She initially denied sending the parcels at all, court documents claim.
Han would then insist they contained plastic cups rather the petri dishes before ultimately admitting to sending the samples, the documents add.
They had reportedly been collected during her PhD research in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: “Han is alleged to have sent four packages to the U.S. from China containing a biological material related to round worms — addressed to individuals associated with a lab at the University of Michigan.
“Upon arriving at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on June 8, Han allegedly made false statements to federal officials regarding the packages she had previously mailed — and had erased her electronic device just days prior.
“In a follow up interview with FBI and ICE HSI agents, Han admitted to sending the packages and lying about their contents.
“This case is part of a broader effort from the FBI and our federal partners to heavily crack down on similar pathogeon smuggling operations, as the CCP works relentlessly to undermine America’s research institutions.”
It comes after two other Chinese scientists were charged last week for allegedly trying to smuggle a toxic fungus into the States.
Researchers Jian Yunqing, 33, and Liu Zunyong, 34 are facing charges of smuggling goods, conspiracy, visa fraud and providing false statements.
They are alleged to have tried to bring Fusarium graminearum into the country – which can cause severe damage to livestock and crops.

Authorities claim the fungus could be used as a “potential agroterrorism weapon”.
Prosecutors say Liu attempted to smuggle it through Detroit Airport so it could be studied at a University of Michigan laboratory.
Jian, who is Liu’s girlfriend, worked at the lab according to prosecutors.
The university did not have the necessary federal permits to handle this pathogen.
A statement from the university says the institution has not had “funding from the Chinese government in relation to research conducted by the accused individuals”.
Officials further allege that Jian is a Chinese Communist Party member, and that her research on the fungus in China got Chinese government funding.
Liu allegedly lied about trying to bring the pathogen into the country in July 2024 before later admitting it.
While Jian has been arrested in the US, Liu was sent back to China at the airport – so his arrest is unlikely unless he returns.
Following Jian’s arrest, FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: “This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences… putting American lives and our economy at serious risk.”
Who are Jian Yunqing and Liu Zunyong?
Jian Yunqing and Liu Zunyong are alleged to have smuggled a toxic fungus into the United States.
Prosecutors claim Liu had attempted to bring the pathogen into the country through Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Officials claim the intention was to smuggle the fungus in to be studied at a University of Michigan lab – where Liu’s girlfriend Jian worked.
It is further alleged that Jian received Chinese government funding for her research on the fungus in China.
She has since been arrested, but Liu’s detention is unlikely unless he returns to the States as there is no extradition agreement between the US and China.
According to the FBI, Fusarium graminearum is a “potential agroterrorism weapon” that can cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.

3 days agoNews TalkComments Off on Why does the summer transfer window close today and when does it reopen?
SOME huge deals have already been completed this summer, and many more are in the pipeline.
Chelsea and Manchester City have already done a lot of their business as they look to go into the lucrative Club World Cup with their new talent on display.

TRANSFER NEWS LIVE – KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
City have already signed Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait Nouri in a package worth £36.3million.
And Pep Guardiola is expected to add three more players worth a collective £80m before tonight’s deadline.
Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Marcus Bettinelli are all set to come through the door at the Etihad.
Elsewhere, Chelsea have already completed the signings of Liam Delap and Mamadou Sarr.
The Blues have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens and AC Milan’s Mike Maignan.
But the clock is ticking for Chelsea and other clubs to complete deals before the Club World Cup.
Why does the summer transfer window close today and when does it reopen?
This summer, the transfer window has been split into two sections, with the first running from Sunday, June 1, to 7pmBST on Tuesday, June 10.
The reasoning behind the early window is to allow teams competing in the Club World Cup to make signings before the tournament begins on June 15.
The second part of the window will then reopen on Monday, June 16, before closing properly on Monday, September 1 at 7pm BST.
The window can be open for a maximum of 12 weeks, which is why there is a six-day break in between the two parts to allow it to run to September 1.
