For the entirety of December, Beating Bowel Cancer are asking all men to take part in ‘Decembeard’.

Men will ditch their razors and get sponsored for growing a beard, decorating their beard, dyeing their beard or even baking/knitting a beard to raise funds to help beat bowel cancer.

Beating Bowel Cancer is a supporting and campaigning charity for everyone affected by bowel cancer. They provide practical and emotional help – on the phone, digitally and face to face.

They run the UK’s only nurse-led specialist helpline for bowel cancer, which patients call a ‘lifeline’. They bring patients together to share experience and support, through their website, social… Read the full story

It’s National Brownie Day today and rightfully so!

Anyone can make a brownie, they’re super simple but none quite so rich and fudgey as these salted caramel fudge brownies with hidden Lindt chocolate truffles.

I’ve used Lindt chocolate truffles to hide inside the brownie mix but you can use whatever truffle or chocolate you fancy.

Why not chop up some Snickers or dark chocolate Bounty bars if you like your coconut? Anything goes.

I’ve used shop bought salted caramel sauce as it bakes better than my homemade version, which is mostly cream!

Bun Bun is a tiny rescued rabbit who’s living her best life.

After being left on the side of a road, she was found by her new owner Amanda, who’s given her a home where she can run and play as much as she likes.

One thing to know about Bun Bun: she bloody loves autumn leaves. Seriously. She loves them so much. They’re her favourite thing in the world.

Or maybe she hates them. We’re not entirely sure. Either way, if you throw a bunch of leaves in her general direction, she’ll jump up to greet/attack them.

It’s not easy to explain depression to those that don’t understand. It’s twice as hard when the person who doesn’t understand is your own family.

But that’s exactly what one woman, Sabrina Benaim, an American poet has gone on to do. In front of a live audience, too.

Speaking in Oakland, on behalf of Button Poetry, Sabrina begins:

Mom,

My depression is a shape shifter.

One day it is as small as a firefly in the palm of a bear,

The next, it’s the bear.

On those days, I play dead until the bear leaves me alone.

She goes on to speak about the many… Read the full story

Ever felt like you want to jazz your sex life up a bit?

Don’t try a new position or fancy underwear. That’s such a cliché. Instead, why not take the art gallery into the bedroom with a printed condom? Because who doesn’t want to turn their partner’s peen into an abstract work of art?

French brand Made in Love has just unveiled a new line of condoms. They’re printed with artsy designs, so are a bit like wearing a tattoo sleeve. But on your bits.

This is true Christmas magic.

According to Age UK, around 500,000 elderly people will spend Christmas Day alone. So, one Stoke Newington cafe has decided to open its doors to the lonely elderly from 12pm this Christmas Day.

The Haberdashery will offer a free turkey dinner with all the trimmings and festive entertainment for up to 25 people who would otherwise be spending the day alone.

Co-owner Massimo Bergamin, 41, said he was inspired to host a similar event at their other branch in Crouch End two years ago after speaking to an elderly customer and regular, who said he would be spending… Read the full story

When Marty McFly traveled to 2015 with Doc Brown in 1989’s Back To The Future II he entered a world of amazing technology.

While sadly we didn’t quite live up to the all the expectations (still waiting on that flying car), we’ve not had a bad go at things.

Real life hover boards exist and Nike invented self-lacing trainers in time for Back to the Future Day, which got us all in a tizz.

And now we’re all over excited again, because the self-drying jacket has just become reality.

Watching your parent develop Alzheimer’s is one of the hardest things a person can go through.

Because it’s more than forgetfulness and the occasional mix-up. It’s seeing your parent confused and scared as they lose their hold of the memories and thoughts that make them who they are.

One man has shared a moment from his experience of caring for a mother with Alzheimer’s – and it may break your heart.

Musician Joe Fraley’s mum, Judy, is in the severe to late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. She… Read the full story

Yay! The best Jewish holiday of all has finally arrived – it’s Chanukah, with its abundance of donuts, fun songs and plenty of pressies.

All right, so it may not be quite as well-publicised as Christmas, but if you’ve ever been to a carb-heavy Chanukah party, you’ll have experienced some of these situations.

1. You overdose on donuts

Jam donuts, chocolate donuts, hell, even peanut butter donuts – there’s no rule, just shove ’em all in your mouth.

2. Your diet plan just doesn’t work

Forget office Christmas parties, latkes every night for eight days?

There’s no chance of being skinny by the time January rolls around.

3. You spend loads on gifts

‘Hurrah for Gin’ is one mum’s attempt to depict the sometimes funny, sometimes just exhausting, realities of life as a parent.

Using Microsoft Paint to draw stick figure cartoons, mum-of-two Katie Kirby tackles subjects such as ‘The Seven Stages of Sleep Deprivation’ and ‘An Open Letter to Postman Pat’ on her blog, which has now amassed over 43,000 likes online.

Katie has two sons – a two and a five-year-old – and she feels your pain.

If you’ve got a thing for fancy floors, you might want to head to Venice.

Because according to a project from photographer Sebastian Erras, that’s where you’ll find the boldest, brightest tile floors in all the lands. Perfect for jazzing up your Instagram.

Sebastian was invited to explore Venice and all the wonderfulness it has to offer by pixartprinting, who wanted to encourage Venetians to take a moment to look down and see all the prettiness their city has to offer.

And so the Venetian Floors project was born.

When life gives you lemons, take a bite and screw up your face in the most adorable way.

Because it gives the rest of the world a whole lot of joy, just like this 10-month-old baby has.

It’s not the first time a baby’s had an epic reaction to a bite of citrus fruit, but what we love about this one is the delayed reaction.

They have a little bite, ponder on it a moment and only then do they go full screw-face.

Let’s see that again:

Amazing.

Over the weekend, Cara Delevingne posted a photo of herself looking pretty badass with model Adwoa Aboah, each wearing a sweatshirt reading: ‘The Future is Female’.

We all immediately wanted to buy said sweatshirt, obviously, so were pleased to see that Cara was indeed selling them. She’d added them to online store Represent for $39.99 (around £26.69), with proceeds going to Girl Up!, a charity that helps young girls in developing countries.

Which all sounds lovely, really. Except there’s one (pretty massive) problem.

A wife who’s been feeling depressed recently came home from a trip to find an adorable note from her husband – written on the mirror in their bedroom in (hopefully non-permanent) Sharpie.

He had listed of all the things he loves about her.

Imgur user mollywho shared the note yesterday with the explanation: ‘I’ve been depressed lately. Thankfully, my husband seems to get the whole “For better, for worse…” thing.’

She explains underneath: ‘I’ve been juggling a LOT lately. Trying to move up the (ahem) corporate ladder. Just got married. Couldn’t afford a wedding. Family is sparse. Falling out with friends, yaddadyadda. But, the thing… Read the full story
