As Daniel Powter says – you’ve had a bad day. But we bet we can make you feel better.

Were you late for work? Did you step into a puddle? Maybe you left your bag full of carefully prepared lunch on the train?

These are just one of many things that can disrupt a perfectly normal happy-go-lucky day, to one of those days where you just want to go home and sleep in order to avoid any more stress.

But fear not, because there are plenty of things to shake off the negativity of even the most crappiest of days.

1. Milkshakes are fashionable

Once reserved for childhood afternoons in McDonald’s when you fancied something a little more extravagant to accompany your Happy Meal, milkshakes have recently had a resurgence of popularity.

So why not guzzle down a lovely milkshake, topped with a muffin concoction? You owe it to your… Read the full story

Meet Hadlie Brechler. She’s only four years old, but she’s already cooler than we’ll ever be.

Hadlie likes to hike, and trek, and rock-climb – all with the help of her adventure-loving parents, Morgan and Jared.

Morgan and Jared have been taking Hadlie out on their adventures for a while now, sharing photos on Morgan’s Instagram.

Morgan’s racked up thousands of followers, and as a result, Hadlie’s become a bit of an Instagram celeb in her own right.

Jared told Good Morning America that Hadlie started climbing when she was just one year… Read the full story

This is why mums are great. You can’t get sassy with them because they are mums and they are always right.

When 22-year-old Dalton Ross left the family home in Tennessee to study abroad – at London’s Westminster University – for a year, he didn’t want his mum missing him too much.

So, as he explained in a Reddit post yesterday, he decided to send her a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself in the post to keep her company.

He didn’t tell her it was on its way – he just included a note that read: ‘you’re welcome’.

But, mum… Read the full story

Because ginger people deserve love. And free food.

A new fancy burger and chicken restaurant is offering a special discount to people with natural ginger hair (sorry, hair dye fans).

Mark Linekar – a ‘former ginger’ himself before he shaved away his hair – will give natural gingers 20% off their meal at Ginger’s Grill in Prestatyn, north Wales, when the restaurant opens in April.

‘I feel that gingers deserve a break,’ said Mark.

Tea or a boyfriend? If you really had a choice I know what most of us would choose…

There’s nothing better than sitting back and relaxing with a nice cup of tea.

It’s there for you when you need it most, it can be shared with your mates and it’s a universal truth that you can never argue over a cup of Rosie Lee.

Here’s 17 reasons why tea is better than a boyfriend.

1. It’s always hot 

It’s a lot easier to get a hot cup of tea than a hot boyfriend.

2. It can be as sweet as you like

And you can make it as strong or as weak as you want. The decision is… Read the full story

Model Ashley Graham has become a prominent spokeswoman for body confidence, so the fact she just scored her first cover for lads’ mag Maxim is a pretty big deal.

It follows another game-changing moment, when she became the first size 16 model to grace the pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue last year. At the time, Ashley commented: ‘I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.’

You spend a significant portion of your life there. So it’s probably a good idea to make your desk a place that you don’t completely hate.

Because having a nice desk is powerful. It makes you feel significantly more positive about your day.

But no one has time for a full on desk makeover. So we’ve rounded up 27 easy ways to take your desk game up a level. Pick your favourites.

Let’s face it, it’d be a dream to look like Jessica Rabbit. 

Literally, a dream. Because with her proportions, to aspire to look like her would be setting yourself a clearly unreachable target.

But one New York based makeup artist has given her best attempt at imitating the somewhat iconic character, and we’ve got to admit, the finished product was actually pretty jaw-dropping.

Sculpting her face alone, Nikki French, a much-loved Instagrammer, shared a 29-second clip to her 301,000 followers, in which she showed an extremely quick step by step guide to achieving a perfected Jessica Rabbit look.

Covering her eyebrows with makeup and bringing to life a unrealistically high brow bone, Nikki’s strong… Read the full story

An American teenager called Madi last night decided to take on the whole of Britain with a scathing review of our way of life.

In a stream of tweets, she questioned all we hold dear, from red telephone booths, to Boxing Day, to scones.

She also poked fun at our accents, our ‘pale skin’ and the British language itself.

Posting from her @touradidas Twitter handle, the 16-year-old high school student quickly discovered she’d hit a few thousand nerves as her mentions started to flood with angry responses.

Her account has since been made private, which is probably… Read the full story

Rejoice, lovers of avocado and brunch everywhere. AKA everyone on Instagram, judging from all those avo on toast post every damn Sunday morning.

The next pop-up to land in London pays tribute to the internet’s most beloved fruit: the avocado.

The Avo-Brunch Pop-Up will serve up a five course brunch menu created in collaboration with #whirlpoolfoodies, with each course heavily featuring avocado.

Think avacado gazpacho to start, harissa spiced chicken with avocado salsa, avocado ice cream, and even avocado margaritas. Hooray.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that if you’re going to sign in to Facebook, you should definitely expect some sort of rant on your Newsfeed. 

But a recent rant has left Facebookers raising eyebrows at Costa, after one builder demonstrated a large cup of coffee filling a regular cup – even though the large cup costs 30p more.

Paul Hopkinson claims that Costa had previously deleted the same video, which according to him racked up 219,000 views, and so he felt the need to share it again.

He wrote: ‘If there is nothing to hide? You don’t delete other posts…. Is it… Read the full story

Finding someone with the same interests, the same style, the same sense of humour and the same life goals isn’t easy – especially on a dating app as random as Tinder. 

But one girl who joined Tinder in search of her perfect match seems to have found that match quicker than most.

There’s just one problem though.

This perfect person she matched with was… herself.

Redditor allenashasaurus posted screenshots of her Tinder match online, as proof that she really is her own perfect match.

*Swipes through Tinder* ‘Daaaamn, who’s that girl?’ ‘Oh, it’s me. Lovely.’

Of course, the only thing she could do… Read the full story

It’s always cute when children write sweet thank-you notes. 

Especially when it’s to thank the brave people who choose to fight for the country.

So when one soldier received a lovely little letter doing just that from a young boy, Chris, there’s no doubt there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

Until he got to the end of the letter, that is. When, after signing off the letter, he noticed a PS.

And that’s when things got a little weird.

The deployed service member posted a photo of the letter to Reddit, to give others a little insight into what sort of mail he receives.

Of course, this letter could be the work of an adult, desperate to become a viral sensation, or just a normal little boy, who felt like adding a funny message at the end.

Photographer Mar Shirasuna has been freaking out his 81,000 Instagram followers with a photoseries of women posing on the edge of terrifyingly high buildings. 

After shooting in New York for more than three years, Mar began to run out of locations that he felt inspired by.

Looking around for new spots, he found his inspiration had been towering over him whole time in the form of rooftops so high the pictures alone are enough to give you butterflies.

He told New York Daily News: ‘I wanted a fresh view of New York City, so I climbed to the rooftops of 150 different buildings around town to find cityscapes I had never seen before, and found views that I don’t think many New Yorkers have even had the chance to see.’

With his photos featuring predominantly beautiful nearly naked women, his work has come with its fair share of controversy – but he remains unfazed.

He said: ‘The response has… Read the full story

It is a dark, dark time. A time when we could soon face a gin shortage. A time when a biscuit drought could be a thing.

And now, because our food and drink needs are cursed and everything is terrible, the shortages have come to take away the one remaining thing we hold dear: eating ice cream all summer long.

The Guardian reports that Madagascar is experiencing a shortage of vanilla, which is pushing up the price of vanilla extract.

Hello, and welcome to 2016. A time when people have sex on hoverboards and you can purchase beer created from the essence of vaginas.

Yep. It’s real. Presenting Bottled Instinct. It’s beer. But made using vaginal bacteria.

Not just any vaginal bacteria, mind you. Lactic acid bacteria from the vagina of Czech model Alexandra Brendlova. Of course.

Created by vagina-themed start-up The Order of Yoni, Bottled Instinct is a beer that promises to capture the essence of femininity.

Its makers create it by taking bacteria from the vagina using a ‘gynaelogical stick’. This stick then goes to… Read the full story

In light of British artist Tracey Emin marrying a rock, we’ve left no stone unturned to come up with fifteen strangest wedding traditions from around the world…

1. Chicken livers

There’s no chickening out of marriages for the Daur people who live in Chinese Inner Mongolia.

Couples must kill a chicken and inspect its liver to see whether they can set a date for the big day.

If the chicken’s liver looks good, they’re okay to set a date (probably with Foie Gras on the menu).
