At first, the most common symptoms of coronavirus we were warned to look out for were a fever and a persistent cough. But a few months into the pandemic, in May 2020, the UK officially added loss of smell and taste to the list, as it became increasingly clear this too was a hallmark of COVID-19.

Well, that s one way to keep cool! May 7, 2021
Kim Kardashian seems to be embracing the spring/summer spirit wholeheartedly by wearing swimwear for any and every occasion. Last month, she graced Instagram with a post of her wearing a bikini while studying for the California bar exam, which was such a mood (her bedazzled laptop case is basically the 2021 equivalent to Elle Woods fluffy pen).
