Millions of Christian Bale’s fans around the world know the actor for his classic portrayal of Batman or Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. But there is one particular movie in the 51-year-old’s filmography that is counted among one of his most underrated works. In 2015, the English actor joined hands with filmmaker Terrence Malick for romance-drama Knight of Cups, which is now available for streaming on Netflix.

Christian Bale in Knight of Cups (2015)

Knight of Cups: What to know?

The plot of the movie revolves around an aimless LA-based screenwriter who is wandering in search of “something missing,” while reflecting on his past relationships, especially with women.

Alongside Christian Bale, the movie features several other A-listers like Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Nick Kroll, and Antonio Banderas.

For this major project, Malick was inspired by some religious texts like Christian allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress and a hint of Dante’s mode of expression, thus linking the narrative with a tarot deck. The movie is now streaming on Netflix.

5 Underrated Color Combinations for Fall That Work Better Than You Could Imagine

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In the past few years, street style trends have largely dropped experimenting with different color combinations in favor of the “quiet luxury” aesthetic. Simple, timeless, and neutral tones of course have their place and are an effective way of dressing. But when did everyone get so afraid of color? Looks in saturated tones can be just as elegant, we promise.

We’re all for a look with a single pop of color, but the truth is that some of the coolest and most unexpected outfit ideas today are doing the opposite: They play with overlooked or surprising color combinations to create a look that’s beautiful and decidedly anything but monochromatic.

There are no fashion “rules” here. Pink and red were born to be worn together. The myth that navy blue and black shouldn’t be mixed has been proven wrong time and time again, and the same goes for brown and black. Actually, all the colors that you think wouldn’t go well together unexpectedly do. And so, here are five color formulas worth trying this fall and winter.

12 Underrated Amazon Prime Big Deals Day Beauty Buys

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As grateful as I am that my job has allowed me to sample some incredible luxury products over the years, I stay true to my roots and still buy beauty on Amazon. Honestly, it was one of the first places I started shopping for beauty five or so years ago because it was so affordable— it was also when my love for the industry was truly born. After sifting through plenty of budget-friendly items and trying tons of its offerings, I can confidently say I know better than anyone that the retailer is full of under hyped buys that don’t get the attention they deserve.

While I do love a good viral TikTok product or a cult-favorite, I think there’s always room to expand our horizons. What most people don’t know is that Amazon is the perfect place to find deals on K-beauty, drugstore favorites, and even some more luxury-priced brands if you really keep an eye out. Today and through October 8, it’s the perfect time to shop for all of the above because it’s Amazon Prime Big Deals Day. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can shop flash deals on everything from fragrance to skincare, makeup, and haircare. To help you find where to start, I’ve put together a list of all the on-sale items I’m shopping that deliver on results, but don’t often get the hype they deserve.

Fitness coach says ‘walking is the most underrated fat loss tool’; shares 7 cheat codes to help you burn more calories

by jummy84

Walking is something most of us do every day, whether for fitness, commuting, or just clearing our heads. But what if this simple activity could actually help you burn more fat and even add years to your life? Fitness coach Dan Go shares in his September 16 Instagram post 7 cheat codes to make your walks smarter and more effective. (Also read: Fitness coach says ‘walk like your life depends on it’, shares 10 rules to melt belly fat and get lean by New Year )

Simple walking routines can significantly improve fat loss and energy levels. (Pexels)

Let’s take a look at his recommendations:

1. Japanese interval walking

Alternate 3 minutes fast with 3 minutes slow for 30 minutes. Studies show this burns more fat, lowers blood pressure, and improves VO2 max better than steady walking.

2. Incline walking

A 5% grade can boost calorie burn by nearly 50%, while a 10% grade can double it. Plus, walking uphill puts less stress on the knees since your hips and glutes take more load.

3. Walk after meals

Just 2–5 minutes of walking after eating can blunt glucose spikes by around 30%. This means fewer cravings, steadier energy, and less fat storage.

4. Fasted morning walk

Walking before breakfast, when insulin is low, encourages your body to tap into fat for fuel. Doing it outside also helps set your circadian rhythm and energises you for the day.

5. Under-the-desk treadmill

Perfect for busy schedules, pair a standing desk with an under-the-desk treadmill to sneak in steps while working. Walking meetings or voice-to-text apps can make multitasking easy.

6. Pyramid walking intervals

Burn fat while building endurance: Warm up for 5 minutes easy, then increase speed and incline slightly every 10 minutes. Finish with 4 minutes at your toughest pace, then cool down.

7. Rucking

Add 5–10% of your body weight to a backpack during your walk. This increases calorie burn and strengthens your legs, core, and bones at the same time.

“Walking is the most underrated fat-loss tool, where small tweaks can equal massive results,” says Dan.
