Lisa Marie Manso, 28, from Cheshire had thought she and her childhood sweetheart Michael were meant to be.

But, her psychic said no.

Lisa was 13-years-old when she first met Michael, a family friend. They were inseparable for six months, until Michael’s family moved away and they lost touch.

But, eight years later, they were reunited by chance at a party and, in December 2010, Michael proposed.

‘I felt so lucky to have found Michael again that I wanted our wedding to be a huge celebration,’ Lisa recalls. ‘I booked a five-star hotel then I… Read the full story

You suddenly really want to ride a bike to work, don’t you?

The picture of the helmet was shared on Imgur this weekend by user silamtao and everyone was in agreement – it’s awesome.

People wanted to know if it came in different shades and styles.

There were quite a few requests for The Trump.

One of the great dividers of the human race is the shower or bath debate.

Are you the ‘in and out the shower in five mins’ kind of soul, or a long and leisurely ‘oh my god hurry up in there, did you really need to take in wine and a book’ bather?

Well, this otter may have just settled everything by showing us that maybe, just maybe, it’s best to be both.

The wet ‘n wild otter called Takechiyo lives in Japan with his owner, where he enjoys the luxury of a bath shower – something we might give a go next time we’re mega hungover and need to… Read the full story

When it comes to sex it can be easy to forget, in the heat of the moment, that there is so much more to what makes it awesome than simple penetration.

Not to suggest that a good old shag isn’t great in its own right, but that, when you miss foreplay, you miss out so much fun.

Whether it’s mastering the art of a killer snog or knowing how to finger someone properly – there are an abundance of bedroom activities that go towards ensuring that there’s more to your sex life than missionary in… Read the full story

Turns out, there is something Brits love more than a nice chilled bottle of prosecco – a nice chilled bottle of skinny prosecco.

Skinny prosecco was launched by luxury drink specialist Thomson & Scott in a number of high end department stores – including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Brown Thomas – earlier this year.

And it’s proved so popular – there was a waiting list when it launched – that the company’s now in talks with Britain’s biggest supermarkets, to make it available everywhere in early 2017.

It’s also been added to the menu nationwide at pizza chain Zizzi, in case you can’t wait till then.

Turns out humans aren’t the most murderous mammal after all – meerkats are

You’d be forgiven for thinking humans are the sh*ttiest mammals of all, judging by the behaviour of the ones you see making the headlines.

But a new study has shown that actually, we’re not as bad as, well, many of our fellow mammals.

A study published in the journal Nature led by José María Gómez looked into mammals most likely to murder their own kind – and humans don’t even come close to the top.

But the somewhat surprising resident at the top spot is…the meerkat.

Everyone deals with breakups in their own way. 

While some act as though nothing even happened, others express their heartache to the world. I mean, how else would there be so many love songs?

Snapchat user Azam College, however, decided to channel his heartbreak through comedy. In a series of snaps that see him making some rather cringeworthy puns.

If his ex doesn’t get the message that he’s seriously hurting, nothing will.

National Boyfriend Day is a made-up day.

We’ve already talked about why it’s ‘the most pointless, meaningless, unnecessary made up national day of all time’ but the internet has taken to October 3 like a duck to a very grumpy water.

Because it’s the internet, a day meant (we think) to show love and compassion for their significant others has led to a lot of memes, a… Read the full story

People, it’s time we talked vodka cocktail recipes for National Vodka Day.

National Vodka Day is, of course, our annual October 4 celebration of all things Vegas water.

Did you know the light, clear liquid can be made from anything from fermented grain to sugar or milk?

Well, anyway, it can.

While quality vodka is great straight, on ice, a vodka cocktail like a Stairway to Heaven, Cosmopolitan, Soylent Green, Pink Polar Bear or Country Club Lemonade isn’t a bad choice either.

Here’s some other National Vodka Day cocktails you can make at home.

Wearing a pair of heels used to be seen as the ultimate symbol of femininity, but times are a-changing and women are realising that actually – a lot of the time – they’re pretty damn uncomfortable.

Granted, heels look great, but on any given day, you’ll always see at least one woman struggling to walk along the street in her heels and it makes you wonder why she doesn’t just get herself a nice pair of flats and be done with it.

But it seems like many women are doing just that, with a new study from consumer analyst Mintel shows that women have been buying more trainers than heels for… Read the full story

In a world full of pressure to do and say the right thing, it’s no wonder we’ve messed things up a little along the way.

If you’re the worst people-person in the world, you’ll know how hard it is to make new friendships, hold a decent conversation and actually make a good impression. 

You don’t do it on purpose but there’s just something about going out of your way to meet new people that is incredibly daunting, and often leaves you cringing with embarrassing memories of sheer awkwardness.

But fear not, awful people-people of the world, because you’re not alone.

Muggles are once again invited to enjoy Christmas dinner in the Great Hall at Hogwarts – for two days only. 

Where better to celebrate the most magical time of the year, after all?

Last year, tickets to the sumptuous Christmas feast at Warner Bros Studio sold out almost immediately, with fans desperate to dine like Harry Potter and his wizarding friends.

This year, on Wednesday December 7 and Thursday December 8, the Great Hall will once again play host to a delicious three course dinner with all the (magical) trimmings, followed by music and dancing.

Glitter nails makeup tutorial will make the most of your glittery nail polish

Guess what? We’ve been applying glitter nail polish wrong our entire lives. 

It turns out there really is certain a way to apply it to get the perfect glitter nails – and it isn’t as simple as a few even strokes.

Yep, according to beauty vlogger Kelli Marissa, your glittery nail isn’t supposed to look so minamilistic – with the transparent polish taking over just as much of the nail as the sparse glitter.

It is, in fact, supposed to look as magical as a unicorn’s horn – with the nail sporting a full-coverage look using just one coat of glitter polish.

The trick? Use a sponge to apply the varnish.

Welcome to 2017 Red Hot Exposed, the world’s first nude ginger calendar, which celebrates red-haired men.

It comes courtesy of everyone’s favourite ginger-only photography project, Red Hot.

The Red Hot campaign was started in 2013 by London-based photographer and filmmaker Thomas Knights in a bid to rebrand the ginger male stereotype.

Finally, someone’s made a silicone mask that turns your face into a vagina

Now, let’s be clear. There’s nothing at all scary or gross about vaginas.

They’re great. They’re sexy. They should be celebrated.

And if someone fancies transforming their face into a giant silicone vagina for the purposes of sexy times, they should go right ahead, free of judgement.

If that’s not up your alley, however, you can always use this vagina mask – created by Etsy-er melissacoulter – as an easy-peasy Halloween costume.

Here’s what happened when I cloned my vagina

Not because vaginas are scary, obviously. But because having one stretching across your face is a little unsettling. A person walking around with a vagina instead of a face is, well, unexpected.

Which makes it a great way to dress up for your next Halloween party with minimal effort. No jazzy outfit required. A vagina mask does all the hard work for you.

Which means you can just up sticks and move home at the drop of a hat.

Fancy spending the next six months in the country? Just dismantle your house and move there.

I just came out of a long-distance relationship, which meant lots of non-face-to-face communication.

Pictures, videos, voice messages and FaceTime sessions – we did it all.

But there’s one thing that blew everything out the water, and it was a sexy minute-long video which left him with his jaw to the floor.

The good thing about sending a video over a picture is he/she can pause at a favourite moment, rewatch again and again and get a multi-layered insight into your sexuality.

Obviously there are some caveats: I really trusted this guy. I had been in the relationship for a while and I believed (there are, of course, never guarantees)… Read the full story
