Exciting news for all fans of delicious coffee, anyone with a passion for little doughnut balls, and Drake, whenever he visits the UK.

Tim Hortons is coming to the UK.

If you’re not in the know, Tim Hortons is essentially the Starbucks of Canada. It sells all kinds of glorious drinks and treats, including the Iced Capp (a blended coffee drink), hot breakfast sandwiches, muffins, and doughnuts.

Oh, and TIMBITS, which are little bites of heaven. By which we mean little bites of doughnut, available in loads of flavours (honey dip,… Read the full story

In our endless journey for super soft skin, we jumped on the sheet mask trend without a second thought.

Sheet masks were so easy. So accessible. Plus they made us look like scary ghosts, which is always a plus.

But it turns out our sheet mask obsession may not be as pure and wonderful as we previously thought.

Racked has carried out an in-depth investigation and report on the sheet mask industry, and what they found is kind of worrying. Their discoveries raise serious concerns over the way sheet masks are made, and whether the sheet masks we buy are really safe and clean… Read the full story

Are you the type to get worked up when the table’s bereft of brown sauce?

Turn your nose up at a fry up with no ketchup?

Shun a sausage minus mustard?

Then you may understand the logic behind lining up all the classic British cupboard condiments on your table and ranking them from worst to best on a Friday night, right?

Or is that just me?

Well anyway, here’s everyone’s favourite sauces in order of importance, from pointless to utterly essential.

Somehow, it’s suddenly September and that means only one thing.

We’re not talking darker mornings, we’re not talking leaves on the ground – we’re talking PSL. As in, Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

As of September 1, the Insta-famous autumnal espresso drink infused with pumpkin, creamy steamed milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, is back at all UK Starbucks stores.

And this year, they’ve even got the brand new PSL Frappuccino – for people still in denial about summer being over.

A 10-month-old puppy swam for six miles and then walked for over 12 miles to be reunited with her family after falling overboard.

Rylee, a ten-month-old Belgian Malinois, fell off the boat in the middle of Lake Michigan, while her owners Edward and Kristin Casas were trying to fix a mechanical fault in the engine room.

‘Our hearts just sank,’ Ed said of the moment they realised Rylee had disappeared. Rylee, however, didn’t. She started swimming.

As soon as Ed and Kristin realised the pup had gone missing on Sunday, they made a ‘mayday dog overboard’ call over the radio to… Read the full story

We’ve all made mistakes. We’ve all had a few too many Diamond Whites and then spent our night bowing down to the porcelain throne/talking to Ralph on the big white telephone/praying to the porcelain gods. You get the idea.

But, we live, we learn, we move on.

Except this mum won’t let her daughter forget.

After an ill-advised early celebration gone wrong ahead of her 18th birthday, Abbi Price’s mum Sharon found her slouched in the bathroom, with her head in the loo. After first checking she was okay, Mum decided to capture the moment on camera so she could use it to teach her a lesson. Over and over again.

It’s important that if you’re going to order online, you should read every part of the product description before checking out your basket. 

Kids share the things they wish they could tell their teacher and it's heartbreaking

Otherwise, you may end up with something you weren’t expecting.

Much like these people, who have spent their hard earned cash on a particular desk on Amazon.

On first glance, it looks like a normal-sized desk but, when looking again, has actually been designed for dolls houses.

There’s a number of things that are totally off limits when in a relationship. 

Calling each other names, stealing each other’s food and cheating.

You’d think those three things are simple enough things to avoid but apparently, one guy didn’t get the memo.

After discovering the infidelity, the seething girlfriend decided to take out all of her hurt and anger on her Instagram account – by re-captioning all of her photos of them together as a couple.

And yes, the captions do get rather brutal. But we’re guessing her words didn’t hurt as much as she did.

Let’s just say she was really, really angry

Fancy a change in hair colour but worried it’ll go wrong? Why not test on the hidden parts first?

In fact, why not go a little crazy and give yourself a rainbow half-head, which you can easily disguise with the top layer of your hair?

That’s exactly what this ambitious London-based salon is offering to their customers.

Not Another Salon, who are already famous for their bright dye jobs, have created the ‘hidden rainbow hair’.

Invented by colourist Carla Rinaldi, the style is soon to become a trend as it is already taking over Instagram.

We all know school can be rough. 

Teachers and parents just didn’t understand that it wasn’t an easy life having to count to ten or colour in between the lines.

25 dogs who are so ready to go back to school

What if we wanted to colour OUTSIDE of the lines?

One little girl looks as though she spent the day doing just that – which is surprising, considering she left for school the same morning looking like a completely different person.

Posting to Reddit, the girl’s mother had snapped two pictures of the little girl. One before school and one after.

Now and again, you’ll find yourself in a situation you really don’t know how to get yourself out of.

That’s when you need to step back, admit that you don’t know everything, and ask for help.

It can feel a little embarrassing. It’s tough to say that you’re not a genius person who’s capable of doing everything.

But in those moments – when you ask for help when you really need it – something wonderful can happen. There’s a moment of connection, of understanding that the world is filled with kind, goodhearted… Read the full story

This house was decorated in the early 1970s and hasn’t been touched since. It is glorious.

And it’s for sale. Although to live there, you will have to move to Framingham, Massachusetts.

Alternatively – and probably better for those who can’t handle too much visceral stimulation – you can just enjoy the orange shag-pile, the canary yellow formica worktops and the psychedelic wallpaper from afar.

The five-bedroom detached property, for sale at $624,900 (£479,000), is described by estate agent Century 21 as an ‘entertainment paradise inside and out’.

As well as the five spacious bedrooms, the house has a pool, a massive living room with burnt orange shagpile, a private romantic… Read the full story

If it were up to us, Instagram would be filled with two things: delicious food and cute animals.

Sure, throw in a few nice travel pictures. But the rest can be anything that warms our heart or makes us hungry. ‘Kay? Swap the engagement rings for onion rings.

So of course, when we learned about the existence of an Instagram dedicated to dogs and brunch, we quickly became obsessed.

Dogs Who Brunch is an Instagram account that finds all the best photos of dogs next to brunch items. It’s glorious.

 

Because we are all this dog, posing with avocado toast.

Because Jack Daniel’s exact date of birth is unknown, you kind of have to celebrate his birthday for the whole of September.

Evidently when it comes to birthdays, Jack Daniel is definitely doing it right, because why have just the one measly day, when you can have the whole month?

If you think that Jack’s magic is limited to just alcoholic drinks, then you are deeply mistaken. Instead you can use it for chicken wings, ribs and even mac and cheese!

Here’s a list of our favourite ways to use Jack Daniel’s to help you celebrate his birthday month. You’re welcome.

Attention all lazy people: finally, someone’s come up with a way for you to never have to do laundry again.

Well, kind of. You’ll still need to wash your clothes.

But a major part of essential laundry-themed errands has just been chopped out of your life: bedsheets.

We all know we’re supposed to wash our bedsheets once a week, to prevent all kinds of gross stuff from happening. But we are lazy. So we let our sheets get musty and disgusting, eventually giving in to the washing machine only when we have someone coming over.

Now, finally, we may never have to wash our sheets again.

This little sister is a hero to little sisters everywhere.

Not only has she put together a book of recipes entitled ‘Recipes You Absolutely Can’t F*ck Up’ for her older brother Warren who can’t cook, but she’s relentlessly mocked him throughout and she’s laminated each page.

On top of this, these are genuine recipes featuring a lot of your favourite comfort foods, prompting quite a few screw-ups people to ask if she’s thought of bringing out a cookbook.

Let’s be honest, when most of us think of The Neverending Story we think of that earworm of a song and watching Barret Oliver as Bastian riding on the back of Falkor the luckdragon on a grainy VCR tape.

Did you even realise the cult 80s film was based on a classic children’s book?

Well it was, and today’s Google Doodle celebrates its 37th anniversary.

The Neverending Story was written by Michael Ende, a children’s novellist from Germany whose other works include a series based around a character called Jim Button, and a book about time theives called Momo.

Ende is probably best known for The Neverending Story, though,… Read the full story
