Perched high above Mellieħa Bay, The Red Tower (also known as St. Agatha’s Tower), is one of Malta’s most iconic 17th-century watchtowers. Apart from large fortifications, Malta’s network of coastal watch towers began taking form in the early 17th century, primarily under the rule of the Order of St. John. These towers were constructed as a direct response to increasing threats from Ottoman forces and Barbary pirates, who frequently raided the Mediterranean.
Malta’s association with honey is so ancient that its very name is derived from the Roman word “Melita” meaning ‘honey-sweet’. Historians debate on whether the country got its name for its highly sought after honey, or its honey-hued stone architecture. Whichever it may be, there is no doubt that Maltese honey was considered in high regard since Roman times, and the island’s long-standing connection to apiculture (beekeeping) only grew in sophistication under Roman rule since 218 BC.
The Romans believed honey was so much more than a sweetener. They valued honey for its medicinal properties, and even used it as a valued item of trade.

Changing times! Living in a pandemic and spending more time than ever before at home means more screen time, which gives me the biggest jolt of mummy-guilt ever. My daughter spends a great deal of time with online learning, not to mention the additional hours of online browsing and play.
Screen time is taking a toll on our eye health, and as a mother, I really worry about the long-term impact it can have on my child. This is why I decided to try out the BenQ GW2480T Eye Care Monitor.
I recently came across a shocking statistic… did you know that regular sanitary pads & tampons can take up to 800 years to decompose?! Imagine what we are doing to the planet month after month!
Personally, I prefer waxing to shaving. This age-old process removes unwanted hair from the root, ensuring thinner future growth. Unlike shaving, there is no risk of cuts and braises, and dead skin is also removed in the process revealing cleaner, more even-toned skin.
Petroleum Jelly has been a beauty must-have for generations. This multi-purpose balm that keeps chapped lips at bay, smoothens out cracked heels, and restores smooth, supple skin to elbows and shins has received a great deal of slack over the years, and for good reason too. Despite its versatility, the petroleum component of Petroleum Jelly makes it harmful for the skin.
