This is a gin advent calendar for 2016 and I defy you not to get excited about Christmas now.

Yes, the gin advent calendar is back and this year it’s even more exciting than ever.

Why are you even thinking about gin advent calendars? You may ask.

Well, because it’s available to pre-order now.

Gin Foundry has paired up with Drinks by the Dram to create The Ginvent Calendar – an advent calendar stuffed with top gins from around the world.

There’s 24 dinky 30cl drams of different gins, including award-winning Finnish gin Napue Gin, Herno Sloe Gin, Navy Strength, Makar Glasgow Old Tom and Barrel Aged.

There’s Nginious Smoked & Salted – a kind of… Read the full story

You may not have heard of the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary in Tennessee, but it’s basically one of the purest places you’ll find anywhere.

They take in senior dogs, ‘especially those with medical problems or disabilities’, who are less likely to be adopted, so are more likely to be put down at so-called kill shelters (which euthanise dogs when they reach capacity).

It’s where old dogs get to live out their final days in comfort.

One of the sanctuary’s most popular residents – with staff and Facebook followers – is a… Read the full story

The gin will be a limited edition gift set that includes a 90ml bottle of the Mince Pie gin along with a miniature of Sipsmith London Dry Gin.

After unveiling 79-year-old Vanessa Redgrave as the face of its womenswear Cruise 2017 campaign last week, Alessandro Michele’s Gucci has unveiled an equally stylish new menswear campaign – starring the always impeccably tailored Tom Hiddleston.

But, if Tom was looking to grab the limelight for once post-Hiddleswift, he didn’t bank on three scene-stealing flaxen-hair beauties.

The campaign, which was shot by photographer Glen Luchford in late artist Tony Duquette’s maximalist Beverly Hills mansion, shows the 35-year-old actor looking pensive in tailoring alongside three glamorous Afghans.

It’s the little things. Like having someone to comb your hair for you and put your rollers in when you can’t manage it.

That’s when you know they’re for keeps.

Earlier this week, Twitter user Amy Pennington shared the cutest picture of her grandpa doing her grandma’s hair, because she couldn’t do her own after having surgery on her wrist – and grandma’s selfie is restoring people’s faith in romance.

Because we may have lost Brangelina and Naomi and Liev, but these two prove true love can last.

If you’re an over-thinker, you spend your life trying (and failing) to ignore the noisy chatter that races around your brain.

Just bumped into someone from uni unexpectedly in the supermarket? You’ll be replaying that for hours. Had a big job interview? You’ll walk out sweaty, dazed and unsure of what just happened. On the way home from a date? You’re probably going back over all the dumb stuff you said.

Luckily, there’s someone on hand to try… Read the full story

Would you stick your arm (or your leg, or any other appendage of your choosing) through a hole and let someone give you a surprise tattoo?

Okay, so you probably wouldn’t let a random dude in Shoreditch do it, but what if it was world-famous tattoo artist Scott Campbell?

New York artist Scott, who’s married to actress and director Lake Bell, has inked the likes of Sting, Marc Jacobs, Robert Downey Jr. and Courtney Love.

Mere civilians struggle to get an appointment with him and, if they ever were to, they probably couldn’t afford him.

We may be only a few weeks into the new school year but it doesn’t take long to get stuck in a lunchbox rut.

My kids always complain if they’re given the same thing two days in a row – yet at the same time are pretty rubbish at trying new things!

If you’re like me and are looking for some healthy and inspiring lunchbox ideas, then look no further. You’ll find sweet and savoury recipes to try as well as some bento boxes – Japanese style boxes with separate compartments.

Why Google’s 18th birthday is nothing to celebrate

There’s a scene in the most recent series of The X-Files that resonates deeply with me.

Mulder and Scully are discussing a case when Scully drops in a relatively obscure piece of trivia.

Mulder gives her a look and says ‘How do you know that?’, to which Scully shrugs, smiles and replies ‘I’m old school, Mulder. Pre-Google.’

The internet’s a wonderful thing.

But as Google – now legally old enough to drink alcohol, vote in a general election and finally marry Boardreader without asking for parental consent – celebrates its eighteenth birthday, I can’t help but wonder what sort of world we’ve created under its omniscient, omnipresent reign.

We all know how difficult children can be when they’re eating out. 

Bloggers hit back after Vogue directors label them 'desperate', 'ridiculous' and 'preening'

There’s the stress over not having a colouring book and crayons, the outburst that comes with not being allowed a fizzy drink and, of course, wanting to eat the same as mummy and daddy as opposed to the kids menu.

Oh, and then there comes not wanting to eat anything at all.

One deli that  knows this all too well has decided to do something about it.

Eating your placenta isn’t that uncommon.

*And a warning now, there are images and video below of a man eating raw placenta. Discretion is advised*

You can get it all packaged in little tablets.

You can even buy whole placenta cook books for afterbirth lasagnas, chilis and smoothies.

But one guy has left the internet holding onto their stomachs after posting a video of him eating his wife’s placenta with a full English breakfast.

Miranda was undoubtedly the best character from Sex and The City (and it’s not just because of my name).

And it turns out that she was right.

Well, the first ever sex toy for pre-op, gender-transitioning men has now been made.

We actually had to stop writing this and go get some food from the fridge because it was making us so hungry.

Someone has made a breakfast lasagne and it’s everything we never thought we needed in a breakfast.

The drool-inducing feed was thought up by the guys over at BOSH! and my, my, my do we wish they served it in the work canteen.

Know what the best bit is, though? It’s vegan but can be modified for veggies and meateaters alike. Winner.

Oh garlic. Garlic, garlic, garlic. You make our food taste so frickin’ good, but in return we get a mouth that tastes like death.

And breath that could floor people three towns over.

Which, unfortunately, means dishes heavy on garlic, AKA the best dishes in the world, are off the menu before nights out and social gatherings.

Until now, that is. Scientists have discovered some new cures for your pongy breath, and to be honest, they’re quite surprising.

Nobody likes a jealous ex. 

Especially not 18-year-old Tiffany Badland, who totally knew how to deal with hers after receiving some very drunken texts from him one night.

Tiffany had been at her home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, with her friend, when they both received texts from their ex-boyfriends who were, according to Tiffany, very drunk.

The boys had convinced themselves that Tiffany had invited random men round to her house for the evening.

Fed up of the accusations, Tiffany decided to get even.
