The world is divided into two types of people – shower people and bath people.

If you’re a bath person, you know there is nothing better than a long soak in the tub – preferably with a glass of red wine and a good book.

The only drawback of running your life from the bathtub is that you need to regularly top up with hot water to prevent hypothermia and you’ll probably have someone banging on the door after 10 minutes, demanding you free up the loo and stop using all the good bubble bath.

Which nips do you have? (Picture: Liberty Antonia Sadler/metro.co.uk)

We all love to categorise ourselves. We’re introverts or extroverts. Cat people  or dog people. We have V shape bums or round ones. We analyse our split end types. We take endless quizzes to find out who we really are.

So when Seventeen told us that there are, in fact, different types of nipples we could potentially have, we immediately (well, not really. We waited until we got home) whipped off our tops to take a look.

Dr Tsippora Shainhouse revealed these eight nipple options to Seventeen,… Read the full story

These beautiful loaves are made by a Tokyo baker, who regularly shares her bakes online under the name Konel Bread on Instagram.

One woman has been described as having ‘won the internet’ after she was sent an unsolicited d*ck pic by a total stranger. 

30-year-old Samantha Mawdsley had just left a positive review on the Facebook page of a restaurant she had recently visited when a man named James commented on her post, and asked her to check her messages.

‘He commented asking me to check my DMs so he could “get my opinion”,’ Samantha told Metro.co.uk.

Of course, Samantha had no idea what James needed an opinion on, so she had a look at her message folder.

And when she did, she was faced with an image of James’s penis.

Lovely.

Oh hey. Remember when the world finally came up with the term ‘ghosting’, and we finally had a way to describe all the dates that had disappeared from our lives?

It was great. We had a shorthand for our anguish. What a wonderful time to be alive, we said, sobbing into a plate of nachos after another failed relationship.

Well, good news: there’s a new way to describe all the massive d*ckheads in your life.

According to New York Magazine’s Beta Male, ‘benching’ is the new dating term you need to know about.

Look, I’m a big fan of magazines. There are few things I enjoy more than relaxing in bed, drinking some green tea, smearing on a face mask, and flicking through glossy pages of features and advertising.

But even the most dedicated magazine-lover is aware of that nagging anxiety each glossy evokes with the headlines splashed across its cover, especially for those of us who are already struggling with an anxiety disorder.

One woman is exploring that idea in a hilariously spot on way.

Many ridiculous myths have arisen into public consciousness as a result of bad sex education or awkwardness around talking about it, ones many people still believe.

Some salad dressing is not vegan (Picture: Getty)

I recently completed Peta’s 30-day vegan challenge.

I found it tough and one of the reasons was because honestly, at times, it seemed like there was milk powder and egg in everything.

It popped up in the most unlikely of foods. Drinks weren’t much better either.

After scouring labels for a month I started to get the hang of things.

If you’re cooking for a vegan or thinking of trying veganism yourself I hope this list is helpful.

Here’s 10 surprising foods vegans should be wary of because they may have animal products in.

It’s not the most gainly position for a chicken to find itself in, but apparently it makes for a very tasty bird.

Cooking on a beer can is an Australian tradition that keeps the chicken moist and juicy while it barbecues – meaning you get a tasty, blackened exterior but exceptionally moist meat.
