Skip the posh restaurant this Valentine’s Day for a dinner at home, as Morrisons has launched a range of new heart-shaped burgers.

The supermarket has launched ‘The Best Valentine’s Heart Cheese Truckles’.

The love-themed burgers come in two flavours: The Best Extra Mature Cheddar and The Best Mature Red Leicester. And they’re hand-crafted to look like little love hearts (albeit, roasted).

The ‘love buns’ come after a Morrisons survey suggested that 58% of people will be eating in this Valentine’s Day.

To make sure people spend their Valentine’s money in the store, Morrisons’ heart-shaped quarter pounders are being sold for a whistle, at £2 for two.

People are braving texting their crushes to ask them out on a Valentine’s Day date thanks to award-winning sex and relationships blogger, Oloni.

Just recently, Oloni took to Twitter to challenge her followers. She wrote: ‘Ladies, ask the guy you have a crush on to be your Valentine this year & tell him you’d like to go on a date with him. Tweet me a screenshot of his response’.

People have seen this as the perfect opportunity to ask their dates out and not look back.

And, amazingly, there have been quite a few success stories.

People have been responding to the tweet with screenshots, as asked, to explain what… Read the full story

Perusing Mumsnet earlier (no, I don’t have children, yes Mumsnet is my hobby) I saw a thread about Kylie Jenner. 

A user was asking if anyone else agreed that her secretive pregnancy was a really nice way to approach motherhood for the first time.

I clicked onto the replies, expecting a barrage of criticism to Kylie for being too young, too sexy, too plastic to be allowed to breed. But instead what I found was something even more irritating.

‘Who are the Kardashians?’

‘Wait, there’s a Kylie Kardashian?’

‘I thought you meant Kylie Minogue – that would have been good news.’

(There was a LOT of talk about how much everyone wished it… Read the full story

Valentine’s Day is truly horrendous, isn’t it?

It’s a day where couples feel obliged to make a huge show about how much they love each other even though they’re perfectly content the other 364 days of the year

Single people are made to feel awkward because it’s just a normal day for them yet media would have them believe they’re supposed to feel sad and lonely even though, hello, it’s 2018, people are perfectly capable of existing without a romantic partner.

You know the people I feel sorry for most, though? New couples. Couples who don’t know whether to introduce their partner as ‘my girlfriend’ or ‘this… Read the full story

Not only can they look sexy, but they also have benefits like preventing skin cancer, allergies, and providing asthma relief.

Whether you’re just a fan of facial hair or have a righteous beard yourself, you can now sign up to an unusual dating experience that caters for that preference.

Alongside the athletes who have poured into South Korea’s PyeongChang for the Winter Olympics yesterday, some 250 snow cannons were also brought in to manufacture artificial snow, should the real stuff prove elusive.

It’s that time of year again, folks.

Nope, we’re not talking about the time of year where you think we’re on the home run to spring and then winter starts all over.

We’re talking about chocolate taster application time.

Last year, we informed you that a chocolate company were hiring chocolate tasters and guess what, folks? It’s only bloomin’ happening again.

That’s right, Mondelez International – AKA the owner of Cadbury, Milka and Oreo – have opened applications for chocolate tasters, and they’re actual, serious roles, not a promotional gimmick.

So, you’ve taken a pregnancy test. It has multiple lines on it. You’re pregnant. 

What do you do next?

Well, probably you take a deep breath and have a little sit down. Whether this was intentional or accidental, it’s still a big bit of news and it’s going to take some getting used to.

Do you want to have a child?

If this pregnancy was intentional then you can skip to the next step. If not, you’ll want to consider your options. Are you ready? Is this right for you? Is it something you want to do?

If the answer to those questions is no, you can contact your GP or… Read the full story

Sports Illustrated has dedicated this year’s swimsuit edition to the #MeToo campaign, with top models sporting empowering phrases on their bodies.

Entitled ‘In her own words’, editor MJ Day says that the shoot has been designed to combat the objectification of women.

The models, she says, ‘are as much participants as objects’.

Photographer Taylor Ballantyne says the project is about female identity.

‘Its purpose is to offer a platform for the participants to speak their truth by choosing positive words that represent who they are and what they strive to embody,’ she says.

‘I challenged these women to stay positive with their word choice regardless of what they were feeling in the moment… Read the full story

Isn’t it the most annoying thing ever when your date keeps checking their phone every few minutes?

If you can’t stand it when bright notifications interrupt your conversation, then you might want to head to Zizzi’s this Valentine’s.

To keep the love alive, the Italian restaurant is banning bad dating etiquette and offering customers a ‘no phone zone’ to hopeful lovers.

You just hand your beloved phones to staff for safekeeping and they will return it to you at the end of your meal.

The handy move comes after research revealed that 60% of Brits hate it when a date keeps glancing at their phone during dinner.

Sex and food go together like, well, sex and taking appropriate precautions against STIs and unwanted pregnancy.

Aphrodisiacs such as oysters, chocolate and strawberries or incorporating whipped cream and ice cream into your bedroom antics are all traditionally linked with sex.

Now that we’re all chained to our smartphones, the aubergine, peach and banana emojis have also been added to the sexy food list.

Britain is a nation of curry lovers.

There’s no denying it -chicken tikka masala, saag aloo, or a bit of biryani have been the Saturday night takeaway of choices for years.

But is it…romantic?

If you’ve tried a curry (where have you been if you haven’t?) then you know all too well that a sweaty forehead, mouth draped open, and a runny nose after a vindaloo is hardly a sexy look.

But that’s not stopping people from indulging in a bit of the spicy stuff on date night.

Gigi and Bella Hadid may be the faces of mainstream fashion but it’s their cousin who’s really causing a stir at the moment.

Joann van der Herik is the daughter of Yolanda Hadid’s brother and she’s also a model (seriously, what is up with that family’s genes?).

And she’s been giving everyone a lesson in body positivity, by showing fans her ‘belly rolls’ in order to prove that ‘people on Instagram aren’t perfect’.

Joann has recently been signed to London-based 12+ UK Model Management and has just been named as the face and body of Debenhams’ DD+ lingerie collection, Gorgeous.

Attention, McDonald’s fanatics: Mozzarella dippers are back on the menu and everything in the world is good again.

Over Christmas time we said goodbye to the mozzarella dippers which were being replaced with four mini rounds of breaded Camembert served with a festive tomato dip.

It being a Christmas-thing, it was only a matter of time until the Camembert dippers were taken off the menu.

And we’re so glad they have been (even though they were amazing) because everyone knows mozzarella dippers are the best McDonald’s side.

Few things in life are as satisfying as popping a great big zit.

The feeling of release as the skin bursts and a volcano of puss erupts is second to none.

Which is why so many of us are obsessed with Dr Pimple Popper videos – it’s just as incredible to watch as it is to do it yourself (and there’s the added benefit of not having to mutilate your own skin).

And now, dear friends, you can have the best of both worlds.

Because someone’s come up with a toy. A pimple popping toy.

Who knew that perfecting the art of a delicious Sunday roast could bag you a Prince?

Meghan Markle clearly did, as that’s what she was slaving away over in the kitchen when Prince Harry got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.*

You might think that it’s too cold for ice cream right now, but one cafe is serving up a cup of frozen desert hot enough to warm every bone in your body.

The Aldwych Café is serving up a Valentine’s Day ice cream special called ‘Respiro Del Diavolo’, or Breath of the Devil.

It’s so spicy that diners have to be 18 or older and can only buy it after signing a legal waiver.

The disclaimer warns that the ice cream carries ‘a risk of personal injury, illness and possible loss of life’, and staff who serve it have to wear gloves when they dish out scoops.

Right, it’s less than a week until Valentine’s day, so if you’re in a couple where v-day is celebrated, you’re probably giving some thought to what gift to buy your special someone. 

Broadly speaking Valentine’s gifts fall into rough categories. Perfume & beauty, books and stationary, chocolates and flowers, clothing and accessories, and lingerie.

It’s lingerie that we need to have a chat about.
