Fam Style spotlights Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) changemakers across entertainment, food, art, and culture. Over shared meals at AAPI-owned restaurants, we sit down with creators, artists, and innovators to talk about identity, ambition, community, and the stories that shape us. Through intimate conversations and the language of food, we highlight the nuance, joy, and resilience within the AAPI experience — one dish at a time.

Housing costs: £536 for my half of the mortgage.
Loan payments: £30 for my share of interest-free monthly repayments on the sofas we purchased when we first moved into the house.
Pension?: I have a work pension which I pay 8% into, which my employer matches. I currently contribute 8% but since going into the higher tax rate I will be upping my pension contributions in a bid to pay less tax, so my monthly paycheque amount will be less. I’m not really sure how much I have in my other pension pot from my previous employer!
Savings? My boyfriend and I do not combine our savings. I have around £32,000 in an easy access savings account and have recently started investing into a stocks and shares ISA so I have about £500 so far in there.
Utilities: £80 for gas and electric, £20 for water, £94 for council tax, £15 for internet, £5 buildings insurance, £18 income protection and life insurance (all split equally, the values shared here are my half of the cost).
All other monthly payments: £400 into stocks and shares ISA, £100 mortgage overpayment, £21 gym membership, £10 cat and dog shelter donation, £15 SIMO phone contract. In the winter months, £41 coaching and match fees for the team sport I play. I also pay yearly for car insurance and car tax as it works out cheaper and this year it’ll be about £500.
Pamela Anderson has had some major beauty transformations in the past week—starting with, of course, the brand-new blunt bob she debuted at this year’s Met Gala. Anderson is known for her golden, tousled lengths and face-framing curtain bangs (the piled-on “Pammy” updo is pretty much a household name), so the sleek chop caused quite the ripple of surprise among beauty circles.
