What Fills These Pages

Vanalleswa Living covers a lot of ground, from the ceiling of your living room to the far side of a long-haul flight. This page sets out the shelves the journal is organised into, so you can head straight for the part that interests you.

Tips

The largest shelf, and the most practical. Tips collects short, useful pieces on everything from container rentals and permits to insurance savings, chandeliers and preparing the house before a holiday. If you only have five minutes, start here.

Technology

Technology is where streaming lives: internet television in Britain, Germany, France and other countries, using VPNs sensibly, and setting up a television for live sport. It also holds pieces on artificial intelligence at work, vector databases and window restoration, which is technology of an older and lovelier kind.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle brings together the rooms and the places: lighting and plumbing, water damage and its repair, choosing a sushi restaurant, a quiet temple in Singapore and the logistics of flowers and champagne arriving at the door.

Guide

The Guide shelf holds our longer how-tos, written to be followed step by step: layered lighting, travel health preparation, renovations and buying decisions that deserve a little more thought.

Sport

Sport covers active days and match days alike: choosing goggles for a skydive, a bodyweight routine for hotel rooms, getting the living room ready for a big game and the long-term thinking behind a football club.

Healthcare

The Healthcare pieces are general and deliberately cautious. They cover everyday topics such as dental checkups, jet lag and preparing for travel, and they always point you towards a GP or pharmacist for advice about your own health. Related pieces aimed at men sit under Health Care for Men.

Gadgets and trends

Two smaller shelves round things off. Gadgets looks at objects with character, such as automatic watches and their place in film. Latest Trends follows what is changing in the way people dress and shop, starting with the clothes that sit closest to the skin.

Not sure where something belongs?

Plenty of articles sit on more than one shelf, because a renovation can be a lifestyle decision and a trip can be a health question. If you are new, our starter selection picks a handful of pieces from across the journal.
