You may be 30 but it’s still acceptable to still want to look like a Disney princess.

I see you combing your hair with a fork in front of the mirror pretending to be Ariel, and scouring YouTube trying to find a video to teach you how to recreate Jasmine’s perfect eyeliner flick.

There are plenty of full-on Disney character makeup tutorials on the internet, but as great as they are, they’re not really looks you can walk down the street with.

So, to help you achieve your princess or villain (ooo, you are bad) dreams, here are 10 wearable and achievable makeup ideas you can steal from Disney. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Multi-coloured bright eye makeup is really popular at the moment and very wearable so long as you keep the rest of your face simple and natural – don’t replicate the black lips.

Your back’s a bit knotty. The weight of the world is on your shoulders. In short, you need a massage.

But do you need a snake massage?

Because that’s what you can get these days and, no, that’s not a euphemism.

The Original Sin Massage is like a normal massage, only there’s a bloody big snake involved too.

You can either have the five-stone albino python placed on your shoulders or lie down on a bamboo bed and have the snake put on your back.

Er, why?

While many fathers received gifts from their children on Sunday, one father celebrated six years of knowing his 35-year-old son.

Chris Truesdale was reunited with his son, Terrell Starr, thanks to a Facebook message Terrell wrote six years ago.

Terrell Starr had been so used to life without a father that when he decided to begin searching for him at the age of 29, he didn’t believe it would ever prove to be successful.

He grew up in Detroit under the care of his grandmother while his mother was in the military, and it wasn’t until 2009 that he decided to log on… Read the full story

Karma’s a bitch.

Or so it seems, judging by the thank you letter this old lady wrote after winning a radio at her local senior citizens luncheon.

84-year-old Edna Jonhston was over the moon to find she had won the radio – especially after she had been having a bit of trouble with her 95-year-old roommate.

A resident at a home for the elderly, Edna told how she was very much alone, and it was very nice to know that she was still being thought about, thanks to the radio win.

However, what she picked up on most was how convenient it was that she had won considering her rude roommate had recently broken her own radio, which Edna was never allowed to use.

Imgur user terryschocolateorange posted the letter to Imgur.

Fitness blogger Tiffany Brien has shared a ‘bad day’ photo in order to educate others on looking after your body. 

Posting side-by-side photos of herself looking really bloated, and another where her stomach is flat, Tiffany revealed the photos were taken just 12 hours apart. One before bed, and when after she had woken up.

‘We are not all what we seem on social media,’ she wrote.

‘I thought I would share a bad day with you to show you nobody is ‘perfect’ and it is ok to have an off day where your body just decides to not play ball. Don’t worry girls, it happens to the best of us.’

Supposedly we all love a bit of fruit.

As we’re bombarded with constant warning around health, obviously all of us are busy shovelling our five-a-day into our tummies.

But can you tell the difference between your goji berries and your strawberries?

How about nectarines and peaches?

Guilty pleasures are often considered something a person should keep to themselves – they’re the oddball of preferences, the wild card of desires.

Not least of all when it comes to men.

Undeniably the Harry Styles and Brad Pitts of the world will always make the most popular ‘hot men’ lists, but the less obvious crush choices shouldn’t be over-looked.

From the Gallic charms of Gerald Depardieu to the inexplicable draw of Simon Cowell – Here are 15 men you should’t be ashamed of having a guilty crush on.

The barbershop is a home from home, somewhere men feel comfortable enough to relax and be themselves.

That’s because barbers know how to talk to everyone and make them feel totally at ease.

Let’s be honest, you’ve got to trust someone to let them get that close to you with a pair of scissors.

I run a shop in London called Champs.

In my time, I’ve had some real characters walk through my doors – and here are just a few you might see in any barbershop.

Hello imgur!

If there’s one thing you should know about the internet, it’s that you can’t always trust it. 

But you can definitely rely on it to mess with you at the first possible opportunity.

One girl who learned that the hard way is Imgur user atova, who asked other users to edit a photo she had of herself and a friend.

In the original picture the girls were standing side-by-side looking out on to some grass, but atova wasn’t happy with the yellowness of it.

She fancied staring out into something a little more exotic, like a beach – so that’s what she asked fellow imgur-users to Photoshop in.

While some people did actually give her what she wanted, most took matters into their own hands and made sure she was given a picture to remember.

Someone (sort of) gave her what she’d asked for

A 28-year-old woman is proving that a stoma bag is nothing to be ashamed of by nicknaming her own Steve and posting photos of it online. 

Lisa Carvell was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a form of Inflammatory bowel disease, back in 2010 after she first became ill in 2008.

Having suffered from severe acid reflux, which meant her throat burned every time she ate, she sought medical help and was placed on tablets to soothe the pain.

However, she was also having awful stomach cramps which continued for two years,… Read the full story

Kelly Oxford is an American writer who spends a lot of her time entertaining her 600,000 followers with hilarious tweets. 

But, while Kelly is remarkably funny herself, the person mainly taking over her Twitter platform is her 7-year-old daughter, Bea.

She transcribes all of the brilliantly witty and dry-humoured comments that Bea makes – and it looks as though Kelly may have a future comedian on her hands.

A group of Australian boys have made their school extremely proud after they stopped to help an 81-year-old man on the way back from their rugby game. 

The children, who are from Cooma North Public School in New South Wales, had been on their way to the bus ready to begin their journey home after winning their rugby match, when they noticed the elderly man moving a large woodpile from the front of his home.

The pile was so large that the boys could see it would take him far too long to move it all by himself – so they decided to step in and help, along… Read the full story

I am standing in a tent in the middle of a forest, eyes closed, pretending to be a tree.

Around me strangers are being butterflies.

‘Trees – if you touch the hand on your shoulder,’ a voice booms, ‘you are giving them permission to kiss you on the lips.’

Before this I was skinny dipping with three ‘squirrels.’ Tomorrow it’s naked bingo.

Have you ever wondered what those random side-holes in your Converse were for? Us neither.

If you have, you might have assumed they were there for ventilation.

And you’d be right. That’s the most obvious of their uses.

However, there’s another one too – whether Converse intended them to be used that way or not.

Yep, using those holes you can create intricate lace-loops instead of your regular double bow.

Here’s how you can change up your laces:

There’s no doubt yoga brings joy to many with its focus on spiritual and mental wellbeing as well as the physical. And with the guidance of a good teacher it’s obvious there are many health benefits to be gained from taking it up.

But you know, can something be too good? Maybe you’re not a fan of the art? Maybe you’ve had enough of your yoga obsessed friends or prefer to get bloody and muddy on the pitch? Maybe you just don’t fancy bending yourself… Read the full story

Great dads take their kids to Disneyland. The BEST dads make their kids fancy Disney costumes first (it’s okay, Dad. You’re great in other ways and I don’t judge you for your lack of sewing skills).

Nephi Garcia is a 32-year-old fashion designer and dad of three.

Last year, he planned a trip to Disney World for the family. His daughter Lili asked if he could use his design skills to make her a costume she could wear to the theme park.
