Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I recently stayed with a friend who had a geranium handwash by the bathroom sink, the gorgeous perfume of it not only filled that room but scented my hands for hours after. Since then, my nose has been veritably twitching for more petal power – with geranium and rose being current favourites.
Fresh, clean and feminine, modern florals are exactly what I want to get a good whiff of at the moment, especially when the mugginess and intermittent wet weather of the past month has put a dampener on the use of my regular summer scents.
