Pack your gloves and woolly hat in your gym bag, because workouts on ice are here.
Fitness studio 1Rebel has launched 20 minute HIIT classes at Broadgate Ice Rink in London’s Primrose Hill – and those brave enough to face the cold can burn up to 500 calories in one session, according to the studio.
Pizza Hut have only gone and done it.
And by it, we mean they’ve actually improved the glorious cheesy goodness that is pizza.
Not content with bringing to the world hot dog and cheeseburger crusts, in an inspired move, the pizza joint has decided to top their crusts with hash browns.
Clearly, pizza has been missing the extra carbs only potatoes can bring to the pizza party.
And it’s a party we desperately want to be at, because hash browns are excellent, pizza is excellent and together, well, together, they’re phenomenal.
This lil’ lady is Ginger Doodle, a two-year-old red toy poodle. She is real, we promise.
She lives with owner Jennifer Lee in Singapore and she’s also pretty huge on Instagram, where she has over 29,000 followers.
Because not only is she an adorable fluff ball, she is probably cuter than all of us standing on her head. Literally.
Ginger is a bit of a gymnast, you see.
Don’t believe us? Well, here she is performing a perfect handstand (with a little help from the patio door).
If you’re after inspiration to keep using that gym membership, then look no further than these shots from Ashley Graham’s new activewear campaign.
Twenty-seven-year-old model and body activist Ashley has spoken out in the past about the need to redefine the global image of beauty.
And proving ‘healthy comes in all shapes and sizes’, here she is steaming up the camera as the new face of Canadian brand Addition Elle’s Nola plus-size activewear collection.
The girl is on fire.
Dad Julio Pena already has four daughters. So, when he discovered that his wife was pregnant with a boy, well, it was all a little overwhelming.
On January 17, Julio, 38, and wife Kari, 35, from Mastic Beach, New York, held a gender reveal party, and invited all their family and friends to watch the cutting of the cake.
Their doctor had written down the sex of the baby and placed it in a sealed envelope, which was entrusted to their eldest girl, Chastity. She then relayed the contents to the local bakery so they could colour the sponge beneath the icing for the big reveal.

Campaigners, who petitioned Lego to create figurines that are more inclusive of children with disabilities, are celebrating today after the brand unveiled its first young disabled figurine.
Fan blog Promobricks yesterday shared pictures of Lego’s new set, featuring a young boy in a wheelchair alongside his support dog, which was spotted at the Nuremberg toy fair in Germany.
The Fun in the Park set, due to launch this June, also includes a man pushing his baby in a pram, a cyclist, an ice-cream vendor, and an harassed businessman on his way to work.
The only time Lego has previously featured figures… Read the full story
Just be aware that if you book this Airbnb, just off Christopher Street, New York, it’s called the Netflix & Chill room for a reason.
Otherwise things could get pretty awkward.
Because these guys take their Netflix and chill very seriously indeed.
The Netflix & Chill Airbnb Room is, the blurb says, a project presented by ART404 + Tom Galle. ‘With this project we bring the famous ‘Netflix & Chill meme’ to life and offer it as an IRL experience that people can rent for a night,’ Tom and co. explain.
Whether you’ve been up all night on a Netflix binge or dealing with a screaming child, we all get a lot less sleep that we need every so often.
This is fine if you’re spending the next day slobbing out at home in your pyjamas eating cornflakes, but if your alarm is set for 7am, you’re going to need to be clever with that makeup bag.
Here’s five quick makeup tricks to make you look like you’ve had some major snooze time.

Did half your friendship group get engaged over Christmas and New Year?
Then, you’ll probably have spent half of January with ring fingers being waved in your face, engagement pictures popping up on your timeline, and listening to stories about how he popped the question.
But, getting divorced can be an equally life-changing, and sometimes cathartic, moment. So, the guys behind AboveAverage have imagined what it would be like if couples shared their break-up news with the same excitement they do with their engagement announcements.
The video shows two couples at dinner together. After one woman announces ‘So, we actually have some really exciting news to share with you guys,’ and wiggles her naked ring finger, the friends respond with the appropriate level of faux-sincerity.
‘Oh my god, you’re getting divorced! Congratulations! You know, I always thought you guys were terrible for each… Read the full story

We didn’t think this day would come, but it has.
This is the day we discovered something even better than chickens wearing knitted retro tank tops.
Yeah, we know you’re probably thinking: ‘But how can anything be better than real-life chickens sporting funky knits?’
But rest assured, there is, for we have discovered chicks in hats.
They have the whole chickens wearing clothes things down, which we just can’t get enough of.
With the added bonus of the fact they’re really friggin adorable, being ickle, fluffy chicks and all.
This may just be the most heartwarming video of all time.
Our friends at Buzzfeed created a beautiful two minute scene which sees a bunch of puppies introduced to some kittens for the very first time and it has given us the complete feels.
Proving once and for all that the stereotype of cats and dogs despising each other is a complete myth, the sequence shows them playing together and even washing each other affectionately.
There is almost too much love to handle in these two minutes and we just want to take them all home together, especially as they are all now firm friends.
Six hour days. Too many holidays. Free weekends. You mad bro?
While a great deal of people realise what it actually takes to be a teacher and prepare hundreds of young people each year for adult life, others remain of the impression that it’s a bit of a breeze.
While being an educator is deeply rewarding and has some fantastic moments, there is no denying that it is extremely hard work. And, while I would encourage anyone who wanted to inspire kids to consider a career in a school, anyone who fancies it just because of the school holidays and the alleged free evenings should think twice.

One fed-up Honda driver has taken a more direct approach to dealing with the joyriders who ‘constantly’ steal her car.
She wrote them a note asking them not to leave it in a place where it’s going to get towed because, in her words, ‘if I have to deal with one more f*cking impound lot holding my stolen sh*tty Honda for ransom, I am going to lose my mind’.
And – eventually – it worked.
The 32-year-old woman, who is from Portland, Oregon and wishes to remain anonymous, shared her… Read the full story
Imagine if you could have the magical rainbow highlights of your dreams, but you’d never have roots and your boss would never have to know.
We give you underlights, the new hair trend that lets you hide your rainbow highlights under your bushel bob.
Because, sadly, not everyone can flaunt their unicorn hair in the office.
It’s a simple technique – your hairstylist just pins up the top layers of your hair and colours the strands underneath.
Then, it’s all about how you wear it. You can either hide it away – for serious days – or plait it so you get a rainbow swirl. Or, you can do the hun, and… Read the full story
It’s the ultimate fast food dilemma and one that could keep us up at night.
Pizza or burger. Burger or pizza.
But wait… before you burn up any more brain cells deciding between these two most holy of foods, take a look at this beautiful hybrid.
Behold the Pizza Burger.
The Pilgrim Burger, so named because of the ‘existential journey’ this monster burger apparently takes you on, is a creation from burger-loving joint The Blues Kitchen in partnership with Pizza Pilgrims – and it’s an absolute beast.

‘Shockingly, 1 in 3 women still refuse their smear test despite it being the most common cancer in women under the age of 35 years,’ model Tracy Kiss writes on her blog.
To combat that, and to mark Cervical Cancer Prevention Week (January 24-30), Tracy has shared a picture of her cervix – which revealed abnormal cells – in the hope of encouraging other women to go and get tested.
At the age of 28, the mum of two from Buckinghamshire, went for her second smear test last year. After the… Read the full story
Oh hey. Remember when McDonald’s announced they were launching mozzarella sticks, and we were overjoyed and filled with all kinds of melted cheese themed dreams?
And remember when they then confirmed that actually, just like all great food in this cruel world, their deep fried cheese sticks wouldn’t be available in the UK?
Our dreams were shattered. Our hearts: broken.
But it looks like we’ve had the last laugh. Because those lucky enough to get their hands on these mystical mozzarella sticks have discovered one pretty major problem.
We knew it could be done.
A New York chef has described how he lost just under 100lbs (almost seven stone) in a little over a year, by eating a 12-inch margherita pizza for lunch every day.
‘Do not take the diet pills, the magic powders etc. fresh food is your medicine,’ cries Pasquale Cozzolino, head chef at Ribalta pizzeria in New York’s East Village.
As well as eating pizza every day, he cut out sweets and fizzy drinks, and started kickboxing two to three times a week.
Since last summer, the 6ft 6in chef’s weight has dropped from… Read the full story
For years, Cassey Ho of Blogilates has been inspiring women around the world to be strong, not skinny, sharing meal plans and making pilates fun, cool, and accessible for anyone with an internet connection.
She’s known for her bubbly personality – smiling and chatting even through rounds of burpees and earthquake poses.
But Cassey had been hiding a secret. In the early parts of her career as a fitness blogger, Cassey was battling an eating disorder.
Four years later, Cassey’s coming clean.
