O governo italiano aprovou uma lei que proíbe a prática de barriga de aluguel no exterior, buscando proteger mulheres de exploração e fortalecer a estrutura familiar. A medida impede que cidadãos italianos recorram à barriga de aluguel em outros países, prática já proibida dentro da Itália. Para os defensores da nova legislação, o objetivo é...

ABBOTT LYON Black Friday sale is the perfect time for jewellery enthusiasts to find some hidden gems for less.
Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday sale is a highly anticipated event in my diary, as it means I can expand my jewellery collection with waterproof and tarnish-free accessories for less – and treat someone special to something sparkly for Christmas.
Abbott Lyon Black Friday sale
Abbott Lyon is known for its stylish, customisable, tarnish-free yet affordable jewellery, which will be even more purse friendly in the Black Friday sale.
Come Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Abbott Lyon is a great choice for anyone wanting to stock up on gems ahead of the holiday season, but at a fraction of the usual cost.
The brand has a legion of celebrity collaborators, which includes Stacey Solomon, Olivia Attwood, and Love Island alumni, Molly Smith.
Abbott Lyon is also set to collaborate with Love Island 2024 winner Mimii Ngulube, but will these collection be included in the Cyber Weekend sale?
Black Friday is set to fall on 29th December, and I anticipate huge savings in store across the annual sale event if Abbott Lyon take part.
Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday sale could see you snap up designer lookalikes, such as this Cartier ring lookalike, durable stacking rings, personalised jewellery, and much more for less.
Here is everything I know about Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday sale so far; from when is Black Friday, and when is Cyber Monday, to the best Black Friday deals to shop, including Abbott Lyon.
Shop Abbott Lyon
As I wait for Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday deals to drop, Abbott Lyon shoppers can secure 15% off their order using the discount code “TAKE15”.
Plus, if you spend over £79, you are eligible for a free bracelet worth £49.
Black Friday 2024 falls on November 29 this year.
Whilst the date of the biggest annual shopping event changes from year to year, it’s always the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US.
Traditionally Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November, which means Black Friday is typically the fourth Friday in November.
However, this year the calendar falls a little differently, which means Black Friday falls on the fifth Friday in November.
The global event marks the first day of the Cyber Weekend, during this time retailers and brands from across the world will offer customers their own promotions and deals.
Usually, the Cyber Weekend ends on Cyber Monday, which gives shoppers a whole weekend to shop amazing deals.
But in recent times, many brands have chosen to extend their cyber deals well into December and just before the Christmas period.
However, there is more meaning to Black Friday than big discounts and flash sale offers.
Abbott Lyon has yet to confirm if it definitely is taking part in this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.
However, I assume that Abbott Lyon will take part in Black Friday this year because the jewellery brand has done so in the past few years.
Last year, Abbott Lyon launched huge savings on some of its best-selling pieces, and a number of personalised jewellery options across its extensive rings, necklaces and bracelet collections.
Abbott Lyon in the past has also offered free personalisation on selected products, so keep an eye out for any further deals that launch between now and 29 November.
I will, of course, keep you updated as soon as I know exactly what date Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday sale will launch, and what will be discounted.
Shop Abbott Lyon
It’s too early to tell whether Abbott Lyon’s Advent calendars will be going on sale this year because Advent calendars are hot property and often sell out before Black Friday comes around.
This year, there are four calendars on sale: Made More You (Gold), Made More You (Silver), and two Stacey Solomon x Abbott Lyon calendars, which are also available in silver and gold metals.
The Made More You Advents are available to shop on the website now.
Sadly, last year none of the Abbott Lyon Advent calendars were included in the Black Friday discounts, the website also states the calendars are not included in other promotional discounts as there is already a huge saving to be had on the festive countdowns.
The site reads: “Advent calendars are excluded from all other promotions.”
However, will this change come Black Friday? Only time will tell.
Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday sale promises incredible deals on the brand’s elegant and customisable accessories.
I expect to see generous discounts on a variety of products, including the popular personalised jewellery range, as well as watches, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings.
It’s the perfect chance to invest in timeless pieces that instantly add a touch of sophistication to any look.
The Abbott Lyon Black Friday sale means you can invest in layering items that will swiftly become your everyday staples too.
Alternatively, you can use this sale event to shop Christmas gifts for your loved ones.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for thoughtful gifts, this sale will offer something special for everyone.
With exclusive offers and significant markdowns, Abbott Lyon’s Black Friday event is set to be an unmissable shopping event for those looking to elevate their accessory game this year.
Last year there was a variety of items up for grabs at a reduced price, with some pieces slashed by more than £150, here are some of my highlights from last year’s sale:
Cyber Monday falls on December 2 this year, which is a little later than previous years but only because of how the calendar falls this year.
Traditionally, Cyber Monday was seen as the last day of the big sales, but in recent years, many brands and retailers have extended the good offers well into December.
Not only does this give you more time to scope a great offer, but it also allows you to pick up any last-minute gifts ahead of the Christmas period.
It is unknown whether Abbott Lyon will end its Black Friday deals on Cyber Monday, or keep the discounts running a little longer.

HEALTH bosses have issued an urgent warning to the “missing million” at risk hospitalisation and death as three dangerous infections surge.
The arrival of winter will see a number of nasty infections rear their heads, but Brits are being urged to protect themselves against the “big three” – flu, RSV and Covid-19.
These infections land “many thousands in hospital and tragically kill far too many every year”, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said.
“Colliding” surges of Covid, flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pose the threat of a winter “tripledemic”, the NHS warned last month.
Getting vaccinated ahead of winter is by far the best way to protect yourself against the dangerous bugs and millions are eligible to get their jabs for free.
But every year, vulnerable Brits who don’t take up their jabs or those who aren’t even aware they’re at higher risk of severe illness miss out on the vital protection of vaccines – making them the “missing million”.
Julie Yates, UKHSA’s national immunisation lead, said: “Every year many of those at greater risk of getting seriously ill from winter infections are not getting their vaccines, with many thousands ending up in hospital and far too many tragically dying.
“Some of these ‘missing million’ may not realise they are more vulnerable, but if you are invited for a flu, RSV or COVID-19 jab then it is because you, or your newborn baby if you’re pregnant, are at greater risk.”
As part of its Get Winter Strong Campaign, UKHSA is calling on vulnerable and eligible Brits to get jabbed.
This includes pregnant women, who are being urged to take up their RSV and whooping cough vaccines to protect their vulnerable babies.
Respiratory infections like Covid, flu, RSV and whooping cough will strike many this winter as people spend more time indoors.
But some people are at higher risk of getting seriously ill from catching these common bugs.
They include:
Some children aged under two years, especially those with a heart condition or born prematurely and very young infants, are also at increased risk of hospitalisation from flu and RSV.
Julie said: “Those with certain long term health conditions, pregnant women, young infants, and older people will be among those eligible for some, or all, of these life-saving vaccines.
“So if you are invited don’t delay – book an appointment and get the vaccines.
“And if you’re unsure if you’re eligible or have any concerns please do speak with your GP surgery or local pharmacist.”
RSV is a super common group of viruses that spread through coughs and sneezes and typically surge between November and February.
It’ll infect a whopping 90 per cent of children before they reach the age of two.
Most people get mild symptoms. but the bug cause bronchiolitis in infants. This is a chest infection that can turn serious, making it difficult for babies to breathe and feed.
RSV is responsible for approximately 20,000 hospitalisations of children aged under one every year and it’s a leading cause of infant mortality across the world – resulting in 20 to 30 deaths per year in the UK.
The super common virus can also be dangerous to older adults as well as babies, causing pneumonia, flare-ups of existing lung disease and other long-term conditions.
The best way to protect yourself, if you’re eligible, is to have the vaccine.
But it is also helpful to follow good hygiene practices:
And if you have any respiratory symptoms:

It’s responsible for around 9,000 hospitalisations in people aged 75 and over in the UK each year.
The NHS this year rolled out a new vaccine to protect vulnerable people against RSV.
It’s being offered to all adults turning 75 on or after September 1 2024 and there is a one-off catch-up programme this year for all those already aged 75-79.
Pregnant women who are at least 28 weeks pregnant can also get the lifesaving jab.
Mums getting the RSV can reduce their baby’s risk of severe bronchiolitis by 70 per cent in their first six months of life.
Flu seems to be part and parcel with the winter months but UKHSA warned that the infection can still prove deadly to some.
It is far worse than an ordinary cold, causing a rapid onset fever, body aches, exhaustion, stomach pain and nausea, as well as coughing and a sore throat.
Flu can lead to serious illness, especially in children, with over 10,000 hospitalisations last winter, the health watchdog noted.
Older people, those with a weakened immune system and people with long-term health conditions are also at higher risk.
Over the past two winters at least 18,000 deaths were associated with flu.
And last winter saw a surge in infections that peaked in the week leading up to Christmas and the end of January.
Getting vaccinated against the flu can slash your risk of getting severely ill and also protect vulnerable people around you.
UKHSA said: “For those who took up the offer, last year’s flu vaccine had a significant impact on reducing severe illness, with a 30 per cent reduction in the number of those aged 65 and over being hospitalised and a 74 per cent reduction in those between two and 17 years of age.”
It’s best to get your jab ahead of peak flu season this winter.
Everyone aged 65 years and over is eligible for a free flu vaccine, as are babies, children and adults aged between six months and 65 with certain medical conditions.
All pregnant women can also get the vaccine to protect babies during pregnancy and when they’re born.
Finally, two and three-year olds and all school children (from reception to year 11) will be offered a nasal spray vaccine at school.
As for Covid, the virus that upended all of our lives almost five years ago is here to stay even if it isn’t as severe as it was at the start of the pandemic.
“The virus is still causing severe illness, hospitalisations, and deaths – particularly among those with a weakened immune system and long-term health conditions, as well as older people,” UKHSA said.
It comes as worrying new strain dubbed XEC is spreading “rapidly” across the globe.
XEC was first detected in Germany in June and has since been found in at least 29 countries across Europe, North America and Asia.
Scientists don’t believe the variant is more deadly than some of its predecessors, but they say it is transmitted more easily.
UKHSA stressed that it’s normal and expected for viruses to genetically change over time.

We don’t know what the specific XEC symptoms are just yet.
So far, the signs aren’t too dissimilar from what we’ve seen with earlier strains.
This includes tiredness, headaches, a sore throat, a high fever and a dry cough.
The loss of taste and smell – once a hallmark sign of the bug – is only reported by two to three per cent of infected Brits, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
If you are suffering from Covid, prioritise rest and hydration while using over-the-counter medications like paracetamol to relieve symptoms.
The best way to protect yourself from Covid is to get vaccinated.
Jabs have been updated to tackle recent variants, though not specifically for XEC, which evolved from earlier Omicron strains.
The NHS is offering autumn Covid boosters to the most vulnerable in October. This includes:
The NHS will contact eligible patients directly, but they can also book their own appointments now via the NHS App, GPs, pharmacies, drop-in clinics, or by calling 119.
“The new Covid-19 variants, much like previous variants, can spread easily through droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.”
Covid symptoms have also changes throughout the years.
“Today many people now experience cold-like symptoms but some will also experience fever or chills, continuous cough, shortness of breath, tiredness, body aches, headache, sore throat, blocked nose, loss of appetite, nausea, or diarrhoea,” UKHSA added.
The virus can still prove dangerous or life threatening to some, so vulnerable groups are being offered a Covid booster to keep themselves safe.
You may be offered a Covid-19 jab if you:
In many cases, you’ll be able to get your Covid and flu jabs at the same time.
