Caption: Kanye West’s new Yeezy shoe collection is really quite something

Kanye West made a spectacular return to Twitter this week, firing off a barrage of inspirational tweets that have (probably) motivated millions.

He also used the platform to showcase his new collection of Yeezy shoes, and boy, has he gone off piste with this drop.

The pics looks like they’re taken in a Yeezy showroom (zooming in so hard on that clothes rail) and it seems like Kanye clothing fans have a lot to look forward to.

It’s looking like there’ll be eight new Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers, and brand spankin’ new Yeezy Boost 700s and Yeezy 500s… Read the full story

Anyone for a CBD infused afternoon tea? (Picture: Farmacy)

There’s a London-based cannabis-infused afternoon tea menu bringing a whole new meaning to the concept of high tea.

When it comes to afternoon tea, most people think scones, pots of cream, a bit of jam and some cucumber sandwiches thrown in for good measure.

But London-based Farmacy are changing all of that by introducing a cannabis element to their afternoon tea, appropriately named ‘high tea’ – so of course I had to visit and investigate further.

Think of your traditional afternoon tea, but then reimagine it with the addition of Cannabidol-infused truffles and hemp tea. Sounds good right?

Why CBD?

Toby’s family had given the cat away after they decided they no longer wanted him around. Feeling rejected and confused, he walked twelve miles to return to the people he thought loved him most.

But rather than being moved by his journey back to see them, the family still didn’t want Toby around. They took him to an animal shelter and asked for the cat to be… Read the full story

You’ve probably rushed out to stock up on hay fever tablets, but did you read the back of the packet properly?

Have you ever been in so much discomfort that you’ve doubled up on a one-a-day pill, assuming it will make you feel better?

Well, you should think twice before doing that again.

Your nose picks up the beefy scent as you lift up the sandwich. There’s a light crunch as you bite into the toasted milk bread, which carries with it a slight sweetness. 

When your teeth sink into the crispy panko crust, your taste buds get flooded with the juicy fat of the Kobe Chateaubriand. A tangy note from the special sauce balances out the fattiness and completes the flavours of the sandwich.

We’re all familiar with boxed wine, but boxed gin?

Pinkster raspberry-infused gin has launched a three litre box version of their British pink gin – with that ever so handy tap for portable pouring.

These are a great idea for picnics, BBQs and festivals, and it’s a much lighter option than lugging glass bottles around.

It also gets around any ‘no glass’ policies for campsites and events.

A real life ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ has explained how he went from having just £600 to his name to being a millionaire.

He found his fortune making chai tea, and now runs a £2 million company, supplying prestigious store chain Harvey Nichols.

Rupesh says he’s ‘obsessed’ with everything English, including the ‘cold weather, proud history and the people’.

Rupesh, 39, now lives in a £1 million home in Wimbledon, South West London, with his wife, Alexandra, and their son, Kian, seven.

Shimmi Munshi says she regularly gets mistaken for her son’s girlfriend because she looks so young – suggesting she stopped ageing at 20.

Shimmi, from Bolton, is 41 years old, but looks quite a bit younger.

At age 20 she gave birth to Ameen, her only son, who is now 20 – but even when he was a teenager people thought she was her son’s girlfriend.

‘I’ve always looked young,’ says Shimmi. ‘As my friends began ageing, I seemed to go in the opposite direction, but I’ve no idea why.

‘I was suffering from severe depression and I was so incredibly low in mood and felt completely hopeless that I was fixated on suicide,’ says Frances Coleman-Williams, who underwent Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

She credits it with saving her life.

‘They decided ECT was right for me as they’d tried all sorts of medications and nothing was working.’

The opposite is true for Sue Cunliffe, who was given ECT after being on antidepressants.

I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in 2005 by a process of elimination and then left to my own devices by my GP.

I was told to ‘go home, Google it and learn how to live with it’.

I left her office feeling disempowered and equipped with the bog-standard NHS printout telling me that I must eat more fibre.

I then embarked on a 10-year battle with this life-limiting invisible illness.

I spent a decade trying to find the answer to the excruciating gut cramps, the nausea and the fatigue.

You all know that cocaine is a class A drug that’s illegal to have, produce, sell, or give away, and that it can cause a lot of damage, right?

It’s definitely not something we’d recommend doing. Sniffing up cocaine is a bad idea.

But if the legal and health risks aren’t enough to put you off, perhaps coke’s affect on your vagina might. We all like vaginas.

How does doing cocaine affect your vagina’s health? Does it change sex in any way? And what happens if you put coke up there?

Attention, fast food lovers: Cheeseburger pizza is here, and it sounds like the perfect hangover food.

Papa John’s has just released a new BBQ Cheeseburger Pizza.

Well. They call it a cheeseburger pizza. We’d argue that unless a cheeseburger pizza is topped with tiny cheeseburgers, buns and all, it is no such thing.

It’s actually just a meat pizza, right? Pizzas already have cheese and doughy bread. The only thing we can really see that makes this different from a regular pizza is the presence of pickles.

It’s a fresh pizza, topped with BBQ tomato sauce, lots of cheese, a double helping of spicy beef, cheeseburger pickles… Read the full story

Meet Beaux Tox, a beautiful yellow Labrador who, until recently, was struggling to find a home.

The six-year-old developed a sunken cranium and close-set eyes in the womb, thanks to struggling to share space with six fellow pups.

Although vets confirmed that his facial deformity didn’t affect his health, no-one wanted to buy Beaux Tox from his breeders, so they ended up giving him away for free.

He was taken in by a man in nearby Austin, Texas, but when the man’s cats didn’t like the dog he was banished to the back yard, where he lived for five years, severely neglected, and alone.
