AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL BEAUTY AND PENIS ENTHUSIASTS: Lipsticks shaped liked penises exist in the world.

Yep. Here’s the beauty product you’ve been waiting for all your life. They’ve actually been around for a few years now, but they’re suddenly popping up on Instagram all over again.

I mean. There’s really not much to say other than this: these are lipsticks shaped like penises. They have tiny veins etched along the side. They come in plenty of colours that would not be healthy for an actual penis to be. Some of them have a touch of shimmer.

Child totally embarrasses mum at school with all-too-honest drawings

Isn’t it just lovely when your child draws you a picture? 

Well, not for one mum, whose daughter really shouldn’t have bothered, because it almost certainly won’t be going up on the fridge.

Having been given the task of drawing her mother both in the morning and when she goes out (a somewhat odd task that was bound to end badly, may we add), the little girl managed to offend her mum with not just one, but both pictures.

You can probably see why: 

It’s probably best that drawing ‘accidentally’ goes in a drawer and remains there forever.

Newlywed thinks staying ‘hot’ for her husband is the key to a happy marriage

0

They say "Happy wife, happy life," but I'm happiest when my husband is happy. My husband and I probably have a more traditional marriage than most snake people. If I'm there when my husband gets home from work, I love to make him his favorite cocktail (it's kind of Mad Men, but it works for us). Sunday is my night to cook dinner. But one of the most important things I do to make him happy is to be the woman of both his fantasies and reality. When we were married a few weeks ago in front of our families, friends and a Rabbi, I vowed to stay hot for husband. Before you label… <a href=Read the full story

This incredible two-bedroom houseboat with a spiral staircase could be all yours (for £1.5 million)

A houseboat that looks more like a luxurious penthouse suite inside has gone on the market for a whopping £1.5 million - because it's in one of London's most exclusive locations. The 100ft vessel was once a former Dutch barge taking supplies up and down the Thames until it was retired from service in the 1960s and left to rot. But a decade later it was salvaged and turned into a houseboat before undergoing a complete refurbishment four years ago and moved to a premier mooring alongside one the swankiest addresses in the city. The plush houseboat, berthed at the… <a href=Read the full story

Today is all about wildlife… and in particular, endangered species.

That means that zoos, aquariums, parks, botanic gardens, wildlife refuges, museums, schools, community centers, conservation groups and other organisations will be holding various tours, special speaker presentations, exhibits and children’s activities.

Amalia McCallister beat hundreds of applicants to the job of Tortoise Walker when she answered a Craigslist ad looking for someone to walk a 16-year-old tortoise for two hours a week. 

Amanda Green placed the ad after adopting Henry, the 17lb tortoise, two years ago from a woman who had her hands full as a mum.

Couple tie the knot in front of 1,100 guests… who are all cats

Writing a guest list for your wedding can be a long, gruelling process.

Of course, you wish to invite the people you love most, but you can’t really afford to fit them all in, and somewhere along the line there’s been some sort of family feud.

You will inevitably end up stressing over who’s going to sit where and which guests are most important.

One couple, however, didn’t have that added stress. Because, quite frankly, their list was full of absolutely adorable guests. 1,100, to be precise. Oh, and those guests were cats.

We’ll just let that sink in for a moment.


Mum accidentally unleashes anger on stranger after mistaking number for her son’s

If you’re going to text your child to let them know you’re incredibly angry with them, at least make sure you’ve got the right number. 

Otherwise, the only person who will be left feeling embarrassed and ashamed is you.

One woman learned this the hard way – after she mistakenly gave a good telling off to a complete stranger over text.

The worst part, however, is that this stranger gave as good as he got – by cheekily playing along with it.

The usual internet caveats (it’s pretty easy to mock up a text conversation for lols, etc) apply, of course.

Reddit user  received a text from an angry mother – and thought he’d play along

A company made a giant seven foot tall pram so adults could see what it’s like to stroll around like babies

Ever wondered what it’s like to be pushed around in a pram like a giant baby?

Erm, probably not. But in case you ever did, a pram company just decided to make a giant adult-size stroller for grownups to ride around in.

Not just for the lols, to be clear. Contours wanted to give parents the chance to test our how their pram feels for their babies. Because, you know, babies can’t provide feedback themselves.

So they created a seven foot replica of one of their prams, and invited parents to hop in. It was a bit weird.

Guy Live Tweets Hiding In Girl's Closet After Actual Boyfriend Comes Round

One man who’s learned the hard way just why you shouldn’t play with fire is Miles Whitmore. 

When he went over to chill at a girl’s house, he really wasn’t expecting to spend the entire night in a wardrobe – but that’s exactly what happened when the girl’s actual boyfriend turned up.

Of course, unless this boyfriend is ridiculously overprotective, we can only assume Miles and the girl were doing something they shouldn’t have been.

Either way, he ended up in hiding – and he live tweeted the whole thing to his 1,300 followers.

Miles had just about enough time to grab the phone charger on the way to the cupboard

Boobs – we love them.

Big ones. Small ones. Ones as big as your head. Women and men both are entranced by them, in one way or another.

But such fascination has inevitably led to some untruths about our boobs being perpetuated.

As discussions about the true effect of bras and breastfeeding on our breasts among other things continue, we sought to find the truth.

This food blogger makes the prettiest vegan ‘nice’ cream and we want it now

Okay, I’m going to be real with you. I keep considering going vegan.

The one thing holding me back? All the sweet treats packed with dairy. I’m talking baked goods. Chocolate. And, of course, ice cream.

But this vegan ‘nice’ cream might just sway me over to the dark (meaning dairy-free) side.

‘Nice’ cream is a vegan alternative to ice cream. It’s dairy-free, and is essentially a creamy frozen smoothie.

It’s been around for a while now, but one food blogger’s nice cream is getting loads of love on Instagram – mostly because it’s blimmin’ gorgeous.

Incredible photos show the reality of having a breech birth

Breech births – meaning when a baby is born feet first, rather than in the normal head down position – are fairly rare and are hardly shown in emotional videos of childbirth.

As a result, when women are confronted with having to give birth in this position, they can feel overwhelmed, scared, and entirely unprepared.

Photographer Karyn Loftesness wants to change that. By sharing a graphic photo series of one woman delivering a baby in breech, she hopes to show people that breech births – while difficult – are possible when you have a skilled midwife… Read the full story

A 20-year-old graduate is upping the job search game by advertising her CV on Tinder. 

Jessica Anderson is an international relations student who has just managed to move to London after saving up to make the move – and now she’s keen to find work.

But after applying to over 150 jobs and receiving a rejection for a job she was ‘really gunning for’ because the other candidate had more experience, she decided to take drastic action.

Is it practical? Nah. Is it Instagrammable? HELL YES.

Presenting coffee in a cone. CNN reports that it’s a snazzy new way to drink the internet’s favourite beverage (sorry, tea. You know I’m on your team for life), created by South African barista Dayn Levinrad.

Dayne apparently created #coffeeinacone specifically for the Instagram-loving population, combining three glorious things – coffee, chocolate, and an ice cream cone – into one sleek package.

Dayne explained to CNN that making the most Instagram-friendly food mashup didn’t come easy.

In 2014, after what she describes as a lifetime of seemingly unconnected health problems including constant overwhelming fatigue, muscle pain, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and gastric issues, Jessica Kill was diagnosed with the rare condition Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).

McDonald’s breakfast is a glorious thing. All-day McDonald’s breakfast (or at least until 2pm) would be even glorious-er.

But despite how much we deeply enjoy a good old McMuffin, we don’t exactly think of our local Maccy’s as a cool brunch spot to hit up when we want to chat about our work struggles with our friends.

Well, McDonald’s wants to change that.

As it’s masturbation month (you didn’t know? Really?), WeVibe conducted a massive survey to find out how 1,032 like to masturbate.

Turns out that despite all the porn out and about on the internet, quite a large portion of men and women use inspiration that doesn’t rely on wi-fi speed: their ~imagination~.

But they don’t just imagine people they know (although they do that too, sometimes). They also like to imagine celebrities, which is probably easier than ever thanks to Instagram and the internet in general. What a time to be alive and rubbing one out.
