Melisa, such an absolute honour to have you on the January cover of FHM Canada! Congratulations on being crowned Miss New York US Nation 2021, what was that experience like for you? And I’m glad to meet you too! Thanks for the question and congratulations. I still remember with awe this day and in general the whole preparation for the competition. Then I perfectly understood that the struggle for the crown would not be easy as each woman came to win. For such a competition, some special demands were put forward: you have to present yourself beautifully from the stage, have good looks and, of course, be smart and wise. And if you have all this, the victory is yours. Having received the crown, I did not even think about…

Volvo’s SUV market relies heavily on a three-pronged XC SUV range and at the base sits the XC40, recently refreshed with a new T4 variant that at least on paper seems to be the final piece of the Swedish jigsaw puzzle. Up close there isn’t a lot to differentiate the T4 from its siblings, except for that very discreet badge on the boot lid. Nevertheless, the Inscription model on test isn’t showing any wrinkles. It still looks sophisticated with taut lines giving it a lean and muscular stance. It’s a boxy little number riding on big, low-profile rubber but because it’s front-wheel drive, the chiseled appearance is not compromised by superfluous off-road cladding. The SUV shape is therefore purely to give the driver the best view possible while compact overhangs…

Whether you tried smoking weed before or currently do, you have most likely been through a scenario where someone has almost caught you with it because of the smell coming out of the zip-lock bag or wherever else you are carrying it around in. Well, welcome to the new world, where there are products and ways to hide that smell and enjoy those flowers! We caught up with cannabis expert and innovative designer/CEO Philip Li to learn more about how the weed industry has changed and how new products are coming out to help mask smells and adapt to this new world. How has the cannabis space changed over the past 12 months in general? So much has changed! Cannabis is not only getting widely accepted but we find more…

Such an absolute honour to have you on feature FHM! What has your journey as a certified bombshell been like so far? It has been nothing short of amazing. Starting my year off being featured in FHM feels surreal. We are blown away by your drive and professionalism, can you tell us what some of the things that motivate you to stay on top of your game are? It all goes back to the way I was raised.

Advocating for the Canadian Cancer Center at the CCMA’s with Brett Kissel and fellow Cancer Survivors. Being featured in…

The cold evening chill against my face only added to my already heightened sense of anticipation. Slayings, subterfuge, and the sinister story of London’s first recorded serial killer was only moments away. How was I so certain? This was at least my fifth walking tour of the killing grounds of Jack the Ripper. Standing on the pavement awaiting the guide, Aldgate High Street bustled with activity. I looked across the road, back towards The Hoop and Grapes where I had earlier enjoyed a pint after discovering that this ancient drinking den, built in 1593, had been the only pub to survive the great fire of 1666. The old and the new fused together often effortlessly, yet occasionally awkwardly too, typified no more than by a seemingly modern office block hosting…

It’s affordable, sort of… Normally we delay the price with a crescendo ending but with EVs suffering from a bad reputation for being far pricier than their combustion cousins, we thought we’d start with some good news – the MINI Cooper SE is a really affordable EV. Here’s some context: A BMW i3 – the closest identical twin to the MINI - and costs considerably more for which you get a slightly better range and more interior and loading space but the same performance and charging network. Compare that pricing to MINI’s petrol-engined line-up and there’s a lot to choose from; the fastest and most sought after being the Cooper S JCW for similar money and the first to cross the line in a long-distance drag race. Yet these cars…

Husband and wife duos are taking over the business world and here are some tips on how to make it work. Who can you trust more than anyone?! Hopefully, it’s your partner you are married to!

When I was about eight years old my mum donned a large headscarf, equally enormous earrings, and looked into a crystal ball. I vividly remember this spectacle since she was performing a charade as a clairvoyant at the local school fete. It was a crude and rather comical caper, although people still paid to have their fortunes told. Later in life, I had my palms read on several occasions and mused over the general claptrap of a long, happy life with many children. In fairness as a broad statement, I guess this wasn’t too far off the mark, other than the second element being occasionally torpedoed by grief. In a nutshell, I wasn’t convinced about the possibility that any human being possesses the ability to communicate with the dead, let…

The G-Class, or Gelandewagen for the purists, has always been a bit of an outlier in Merc’s sleek and AI-filled portfolio: changing user demands as well as tighter emission controls and safety standards have painted in the G-Class as its own island, with its own rules. Add to that a price tag that feels more Maybach than Merc and you’re left with a very unique collection, contradiction, and celebration of ideas. However the new G-Class, thanks to a number of incremental refinements and customization options, is perhaps more comfortable in an urban environment than has ever been the case but you’re still reminded that there is an excessive range of abilities that stretch far beyond what life can throw your way. In that sense, the G-Class is almost tragically over-engineered,…
