    Stag and hen dos now cost £1,500 each, research reveals

    The average hen or stag party abroad now costs more than £1,500 per person, a study has found. Guests are typically forking out £376 on travel and flights, £362 on activities, £385 on accommodation, and £396 on food and drink. And those attending a do in the UK expect to spend £854 - £200 travel, £235 on digs, £211 on activities and £208 on booze and meals. While 51 per cent would be willing to fork out more money if they were offered the chance to do more cultured activities. But 43 per cent admit if they were planning a stag or hen, making it cost effective would be a top priority. The survey of 3,000 adults was commissioned by international money app Wise, which has launched a helpline [wise.com/staghenhelpline] fronted by actor Joe Thomas, who played Simon in the hit comedy show The Inbetweeners, to advise on cultured stag or hen events without breaking the bank.

    Majority of women care more about being healthy than beautiful

    Eight in 10 women prioritize feeling healthy over looking beautiful, according to new research. A poll of 2,000 American women revealed that improving both their mental/emotional health (33%) and physical health (33%) makes them feel more beautiful than improving their physical appearance (22%). Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Doctor’s Best, the survey revealed that eight in 10 (79%) agree that if they feel healthy on the inside they will feel more beautiful on the outside. Women are also feeling an average of eight years younger than their actual age, according to the survey.
