Cocktails are going to be £5 in hundreds of places across London next week.
That’s because Cocktail Week is coming to London, a festival where drinkers can learn the history of their drink as well as taste new flavours.
All you will need is a cocktail pass, available on the LCW website, and a drinking partner. Here’s everything you need to know.
As every good pet-owner knows, when it comes to food, the pet comes first.
That’s a rule that Chase Stout and Kenzie Jones, a couple from Iowa, live by.
Parents to a tiny kitten named Mr. Wilson and a dog named Huey, these four make the perfect little family.
But when Kenzie recently took a trip away, the perfect family went down to 3, and the boys were left to fend for themselves.
If you’ve ever used any form of hormonal contraception, chances are you’ve had a chat with your friends along the lines of, ‘Is this normal?’
There’s no denying that putting hormones in your body can have negative effects for some people – and the results of this new study are definitely cause for concern.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark studied one million women between the ages of 15 and 34 who used hormonal contraception and discovered they were more likely to be prescribed antidepressants than those who were on other forms of contraception.
Prince George and his little sister Princess Charlotte made their first joint appearance at an official event yesterday – at a children’s party in their honour – and it was adorable.
The brother and sister joined parents and children from military families at Victoria’s Government House, where they’ve been staying throughout the tour. The gardens had been transformed into every child’s dream, with a petting zoo, complete with miniature ponies, dogs and rabbits, plus balloons and bubble-blowing.
Here’s a sign of true friendship.
Andrew Nguyen, 18, a student at the University of Texas at Arlington, was in the library with his friend Diana Le this week, when Diana realised she hadn’t brought any trousers to change into for her exam.
She was wearing a pair of short shorts (aka booty shorts) to study in – and the exam was taking place in a lab, where everyone must wear trousers.
Diana asked everyone around them if they happened to have a spare pair of trousers they could lend her. They didn’t.
So, Andrew stepped up. He swapped his trousers with her,… Read the full story
This absolutely terrifying Halloween decoration has been removed from Home Depot stores in Canada after customer complaints.
The Scary Peeper mask comes with suctions so it can be attached to the window and used to totally freak people out when they open their curtains.
According to the manufacturer’s website, it’s intended to look like a ‘Peeping Tom’ gazing in at you through a window.
But, people felt the lifelike mask crossed the line between fun Halloween prank and outright creepy.
A wedding photographer has written an emotional post explaining how a Syrian refugee, newly arrived in Ontario, Canada, went above and beyond to save a bride’s big day.
In a post on the Love What Matters Facebook page, Lindsay Coulter explained that the bridesmaids were helping bride Jo Du into her dress when the zip broke.
Basically, every bride’s nightmare scenario.
‘The girls were all surprisingly calm but weren’t having much luck fixing the zipper,’ Lindsay wrote.
They desperately needed a hero.
Enter Ibrahim Halil Dudu. He’d only arrived in Canada four days previously with his family, after escaping the horror and violence of war-torn… Read the full story
We all know that Instagram is a powerful tool.
It can make celebrities out of slimmers and people who like jogging in their spare time.
Models are being discovered on the platform, thanks to carefully curated selfie collections.
It’s generally ridiculous how much influence it seems to have over people’s relationships, lives and careers.
And apparently, Instagram is now extending its power into the film industry.
According to Made in Dagenham actor Gemma Arterton, casting directors have started to weigh up actors’ social media following when considering them for film roles.
She told The Observer: ‘I have a friend who’s been told… Read the full story
I thought I was tired because I have a busy job and young child. I never dreamed it would be leukaemia.
I can remember the exact moment that I discovered the first symptom of what turned out to be leukaemia. I was on holiday with my husband and daughter during the Summer of 2013 and we were enjoying a country walk on a beautiful day in Wiltshire when I noticed that the left side of my abdomen felt very firm. The firmness was quite disturbing because it was such an odd sensation but, as we often do when faced with uncertainty, I ignored it and tried to put it down to indigestion.
A few weeks passed and a new school term started. I work as a secondary school teacher so the start of the school year kept me busy and managed to distract me from the odd feeling I’d noticed in my abdomen.… Read the full story
Maybe we’re getting on a bit, but these bloggers are just looking younger and younger.
Or maybe they really are that young.
Meet Jordyn Peralta from Oahu, Hawaii. She’s three-years-old and her first makeup ‘tutorial’ has just gone viral.
Although her big sister, Cheyenne, 17, has to take some credit after she shared the vlog on Twitter. Cheyenne said she was hanging out in her cousin’s room, when her little sister wandered in and started playing with the makeup and pretending she was hosting her own YouTube channel. So, she decided to start filming.
Using a makeup brush as a mic, Jordyn begins: Welcome to my channel…okay, let’s get started!’
Hurrah! Autumn is finally upon us, and autumn lovers across the land are rejoicing with tears in their eyes.
There are certain feelings of joy that only this season can bring to those obsessed with it. Gone are the sweaty and clammy summer days, gone are the wasps, goodbye annoying birds, and hello to crisp fresh air, toffee apples and scarves.

1. It brings true happiness

Yesterday, some new baby Giant Pandas were unveiled to the world.
The panda cubs were all born at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, in southwest China. There are 23 of them – and the group includes 10 sets of twins.
Anyway, back to their first public engagement.
Not much happened. Mostly the babies, who are all aged between one and four months, just lay snoozing on their bright green presentation platform.
Instagram is full of people’s pampered pets. They might have squished faces, or be rescue animals. Some like being dressed up and others get taken out in prams.
But they can all go home now.
Because one woman who goes by the name, ’12 Cats Lady’, has won the animal Instagram game, once and for all.
The married ‘mum of 12 floofs’ has a dozen Persian Chinchilla cats, nine of which came from the same litter.
And they are just incredible.
They line up for dinner in colour-order.
They often congregate on shelves.
And on beds.
Porn.
We all love a bit of it (admit it).
But what’s it really like at a porn shoot?
Everyone is tearing each other’s clothes off and the cameras are just there to pick up the action, right?
Wrong. Here are ten things you learn on a sexy set.
Most women cringe at the thought of being sent an unsolicited dick pic.
Because really, who wants to see a close up of penis when you’re trying to Instagram your lunch?
But it doesn’t matter how many times you tell them, some men just won’t give up on the thought that a picture of their genitals is much more appealing than a simple ‘hello’.
So of course, when we saw someone had put the boot on the other foot in a recent question to Reddit asking: ‘Men of Reddit, how would you feel about getting an unsolicited vaj pic?‘, we couldn’t help but be glued to… Read the full story

Unfortunately, many sufferers are at a loss at what to do about it.
Because it is not a physical illness, some people don’t speak out or seek help out of fear of being judged or ignored.
Instead, they keep it in and continue to suffer alone.
This article isn’t to tell you to eat better, to drink more water or to go for a run.
While those all may help a little, there are many mental illnesses that that need more… Read the full story
