    Easy Luxury Bathroom Upgrades With TOTO WASHLET

    Besides the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house — and certainly one guests will use when you’re entertaining. Lifestyle expert Joann Butler says adding a TOTO WASHLET bidet seat is an easy, high-impact upgrade that can transform the bathroom into a luxury, spa-like experience without the expense, disruption or mess of a full renovation. TOTO pioneered WASHLET in 1980 and has sold more than 70 million worldwide. The experience includes a warm heated seat, gentle warm-water cleansing and warm-air drying, with options for both elongated and round toilets. The WASHLET S2 features a sleek, tankless design with a side-arm control panel for adjusting water temperature and pressure, plus a heated soft-close seat, warm-air dryer, automatic air deodorizer, nightlight, pre-mist and EWater+. Its wand also automatically cleans itself inside and out before and after every use. For even more personalization, Butler highlights the award-winning WASHLET S5, named Best Bidet Seat of 2026 by The New York Times Wirecutter and Best Bidet Upgrade of 2026 by Forbes Vetted. Its slim, tankless design features an instantaneous water heater that provides continuous warm water while using 38% less energy. A remote control also allows settings to be personalized for up to four users, while TOTO’s Clean Resin technology on both the wand and seat helps resist grime buildup and makes the surfaces easier to keep clean. For those looking for the full luxury experience, the Nexus WASHLET+ S7A pairs TOTO’s top-of-the-line WASHLET+ S7A with the Nexus one-piece toilet for a clean, seamless look with the cord and water supply concealed. The lid opens automatically when you approach and closes when you leave, and when paired with a compatible TOTO toilet like the Nexus, it can also flush automatically. The Nexus toilet also features CEFIONTECT glaze to help keep the bowl cleaner, and TOTO’s Tornado Flush for a powerful, water-efficient flush. From the simple comfort of the S2 to the personalized S5 and fully integrated Nexus WASHLET+ S7A, TOTO brings together beautiful design, thoughtful innovation and everyday luxury.

    Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy: What Women Should Know About Their Options with Natrelle

    Breast reconstruction is a deeply personal decision, and for many women it can play an important role in recovery following a mastectomy by helping restore breast shape. Yet misconceptions, limited awareness and uncertainty around available options may prevent women from making informed decisions about their post-mastectomy journeys. Dr. Vivian Jolley Bea, a board-certified breast surgical oncologist, says women should begin discussing breast reconstruction with their care team early in their breast cancer journey to better understand their options and determine what might be right for them. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaching, experts say it is also an important opportunity to broaden the conversation beyond breast cancer detection and treatment to address what comes after mastectomy, including breast reconstruction. Dr. Elise Min, a board-certified plastic surgeon, says the goal of reconstruction is not simply to replace what was lost, but to create an outcome that aligns with a patient’s individual anatomy, needs and personal goals. Advances in surgical techniques and implant options allow board-certified plastic surgeons to create more personalized outcomes by tailoring treatment to factors including available tissue, body structure, desired breast size and shape, and the overall treatment plan. Women should feel empowered to ask questions, understand their options and work with their care team to determine whether reconstruction is right for them. Natrelle is the number one breast implant brand selected by plastic surgeons and offers more than 300 implant options, representing one of the most comprehensive breast implant portfolios to support personalized outcomes. The brand is built on a 50-year legacy of excellence and innovation in breast aesthetics, and each Natrelle implant is made by hand and goes through an extensive period of rigorous testing and quality checking in support of patient safety. There is no single right reconstruction journey. Some women may choose reconstruction while others may not. What matters most is that every woman has access to credible information and the support she needs to make an informed decision. Natrelle offers a range of breast implant options designed to support customized outcomes based on individual anatomy, needs and goals. The Natrelle INSPIRA Collection includes implants with various cohesivities, sizes, projections and fill, including five different profile options and three different gummy gels for different levels of softness. To learn more, visit Natrelle.com. Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer people have them, the greater the chances are that they will develop complications, some of which will require more surgery. Talk to your surgeon about Natrelle and whether it is right for you.

    Allergan Aesthetics Report Reveals What Consumers Really Want From Aesthetic Treatments

    What are consumers really looking for when it comes to aesthetic treatments? A new report from Allergan Aesthetics points to a shift toward natural-looking results, personalized experiences and greater trust between patients and providers. The latest installment of The Aesthetics Evolution, titled What Consumers Really Want, examines the motivations, behaviors and expectations shaping today’s aesthetics market. The ongoing report series draws on Allergan Aesthetics data and insights from health care professionals to track emerging trends and provide a closer look at how consumer attitudes toward aesthetics are changing. One of the latest report’s key findings is a more positive and proactive approach to aging. For many younger adult consumers, satisfaction with their appearance is connected to their overall sense of well-being, with aesthetic treatments increasingly viewed as one part of a broader self-care journey. At the same time, consumers appear to be placing greater emphasis on results that still look like themselves. According to the report, 75% of health care providers say their patients want natural-looking results, reflecting growing interest in individualized treatment approaches rather than dramatic transformation. Personalization is another major theme. Consumers are increasingly looking for aesthetic experiences tailored to their individual goals, with consultations playing an important role in developing those treatment plans. The report also highlights the importance of trust in the patient-provider relationship. According to the findings, the number one reason patients return to a previous cosmetic injector is trust in the practitioner’s actions and abilities, ranking ahead of both cost and convenience. Together, the findings suggest that the evolving aesthetics consumer is looking beyond an individual procedure. Natural-looking outcomes, thoughtful consultations, personalized treatment plans and long-term relationships with trusted providers are becoming increasingly important parts of the overall experience. The What Consumers Really Want report is the latest in Allergan’s, The Aesthetics Evolution series, which examines the trends and expectations shaping the future of the aesthetics industry.

    Ian Gillan on Deep Purple’s New Era, Ritchie Blackmore Reunion and the Stories Behind “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star”

    Ian Gillan is still very much in the moment. In a new interview on Joann Butler in Studio With..., the Deep Purple frontman says the band’s current tour is “probably the best we’ve ever done,” calling the schedule intense, even “insane,” but still exciting after all these years. One of the biggest moments came when Ritchie Blackmore joined Deep Purple onstage in New York. Gillan says Blackmore reached out beforehand asking if he could “step up in ‘Smoke,’” a request that instantly made him smile. He describes the reunion as warm and magical, adding that whatever problems existed between them had been put behind them years ago. Gillan also gets into Deep Purple’s new album, Splat!, and why the current lineup feels so connected to the band’s classic sound. He says guitarist Simon McBride has brought a more grounded approach and that the new songs fit seamlessly alongside the older material live. The band’s creative process remains refreshingly old-school too: they jam together, shape the songs as a group and record much of the album live in the studio. Of course, Joann also takes Gillan back into Deep Purple history. He recalls “Highway Star” coming together on a bus ride to Brighton after a journalist asked how the band wrote songs — and says they played it that same night. “Smoke on the Water,” meanwhile, grew out of the real-life Montreux fire and eventually became one of the most played rock songs on radio. He also looks back on the early days of Deep Purple coming together, the instant chemistry he felt with Roger Glover, the story behind Child in Time, how the band reunited over curry and a phone call to Jon Lord, and the camaraderie that once connected Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. This is a LifeMinute with Ian Gillan.

    The Who’s Roger Daltrey Talks Possible Final Tour, Future with Drummer Zak Starkey, and Gives Thanks to Fans for Decades of Support

    Roger Daltrey has spent more than six decades as one of rock’s most unmistakable voices, but these days he’s thinking about what comes next. In a new conversation on Joann Butler in Studio With..., while on his current tour, A Great Night Out!, the 82-year-old frontman says this solo run could possibly be his last, as he looks forward to a more ordinary life and continued charity work. That doesn’t necessarily mean The Who are done. Daltrey reveals that he and Pete Townshend recently rehearsed with longtime drummer Zak Starkey to see whether the band could possibly play shows next year. He also recounts the early days of how the band came together and the moment Keith Moon joined the group and instantly changed everything. Daltrey also revisits the famous stutter in “My Generation,” explaining how an accidental vocal moment became part of one of The Who’s most iconic songs. He gets candid about AI too, particularly the unsettling reality that technology can now replicate his voice. The conversation isn’t all rock history. Daltrey also confirms the wild story connecting Jimi Hendrix to his wife Heather, reflects on their 55-year relationship, and shares the simple philosophy that still drives him: music should move people. This is a LifeMinute with Roger Daltrey.
