When was the last time you stopped and listened to your body? Here's a Holland and Barrett

ad break to do just that. Go on. Have a listen to your gut. Is that a gurgle? A rumble? Is it

straining after lunch? Or is it saying? You got to show me love.

We know what your body's asking for.

In store online on the app.

Back your body. Holland and Barrett.

Isn't life grande and making it better just got easier with Starbucks new protein cold foam.

A little something, something to take your favorite drinks up a notch with 15 grams of extra protein.

Turn your usual iced caramel latte into a smooth iced caramel protein latte.

Add a delicious swirl on top of your drink, just like that.

Protein never tasted so good with Starbucks new, my love.

Hope for the life you wish to live, for the person you wish to be, for the world you wish to see. I know it can feel heavy.

The weight of the sorrows of the world.

The frustrations of your world,

that make you feel like you can't quite get to where you want to go.

That you can't quite live the way you want to live at times. I know it can feel hopeless.

When you see so much darkness, suffering and fear bursting out of every news story, every post.

When you let the ugly demons of fear creep into your life

and pull you back from that which your soul longs for. The I know it can feel heavy.
