He’s already brought us the floating cloud lamp but now designer Richard Clarkson has teamed up with Crealev and gifted our lives with a levitating, fluffy cloud speaker.

It’s called ‘Making Weather’ and features a big cloud floating over an oval, mirrored base.

The cloud rotates and bobs above the base to create a realistic-looking cloud experience. Whilst also playing your favourite tunes via a built-in Bluetooth speaker and sound reactive LED lights. Like all the clouds in our lives.

Don’t leave Paris without trying the messy falafel wraps and juicy pulled pork. These dishes may not be typically French, but they deserve a bite or ten during a visit to the one-time culinary capital of the world.

Sadly, a weekend in Paris can be one of the world’s most expensive city breaks. A few days in France’s capital could set you back over £1,200, according to TripAdvisor. That figure is really not that far-fetched, much to our disappointment.

A health coach who suffered from chronic acne for years claims that her skin has finally been cured thanks to banana-only cleanses.

Ashley Smaldino, 27, who also had IBS and chronic fatigue, first tried the ‘Banana Island fruit cleanse’ after discovering raw veganism.

She was diagnosed as gluten intolerant in 2009, and subsequently cut gluten, sugar and diary from her diet.

She finally adopted a raw vegan diet after coming across its healing properties on YouTube, where there are channels such as Freelee The Banana Girl, which promote a high carb/raw vegan lifestyle.

There’s never really a good age to be dealing with spots, but it always seems a bit crueler to be having to pop pimples just as you’re beginning to look at how to keep the wrinkles at bay.

Adult acne is on the rise in the UK, with the NHS predicting 5% of women and 1% of men over the age of 25 have suffered from the kind of break outs they thought they’d left behind in their teenage years.

The causes of flare ups can vary – from diets and lifestyle choices to hereditary factors and hormone related triggers, there are a whole host of reasons you can find yourself reaching for the spot cream well… Read the full story

Nobody likes being cheated on.

Guys, if you’re going to ask your girlfriend for some naughty photos, understand that she might say no and don’t keep on at her if she does. 

Because that’s not cool.

But she might also end up making you wish you’d never asked.

Which is what this guy is currently doing – after the underwear photo he received wasn’t quite the one he was expecting.

Posting to Reddit, MWolverine told of how he asked his wife to send him some ‘underwear pictures’.

Sadly, he didn’t quite specify what he meant, and so this is what he was sent in return:

The suspect came quietly, with a big smile on her face.

Most of us generally try to avoid run-ins with the police, but 102-year-old Edie Simmons from St. Louis, Missouri was delighted when she was picked up by officers, handcuffed and put in the back of a police car.

In fact, she’d arranged the whole thing.

The centenarian pulled in some favours from St Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Sgt. John McLaughlin, so she could finally cross getting arrested off her bucket list.

“Oh I’m soooo tired,” is a familiar groan of many a weary colleague running on coffee.

But post-kids, unless you have an entourage of minions, there is no hiding the fact that due to lack of, not just sleep, but general sitting/rest/chilling/walking alone and breathing time, you are likely to age three years for every one.

You will wrinkle and grey at a frightening rate, but due to the amount of time spent on your knees wiping up all manner of fluids you will at least stay grounded. Here’s what won’t make you remotely tired after children…

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder just six months ago after years of being treated under the mental health services.

Despite receiving help in the form of therapy from the age of 15 and my mother having a bipolar diagnosis, I wasn’t totally prepared for being diagnosed myself.

It led to me having a lot of misconceptions about what the diagnosis meant and how I would be viewed as a person as, I’m sure, is the case for many people.

The idea of Trump becoming president is such a nightmarish concept that it’s little wonder he’s started appearing in Halloween tributes.

One Connecticut resident has constructed a terrifying Styrofoam model of the Republican candidate, as well as a toothy Hillary Clinton riding the Democratic Party’s donkey mascot alongside the skeletons and zombies in his Halloween display.

History professor Matt Warshauer has also built an 8ft high version of the Mexican wall outside his house, complete with armed guards.

If someone asked you to imagine what merfolk looked like, you’d probably think of Ariel. Or one of the girls out of Mermaids.

Blonde. White. Blue-eyed.

But one merman is swimming against the stereotypes and is fighting for more black people to embrace the mer lifestyle.

Blix is a gay professional mermaid who lives in Atlanta.

‘I eat, sleep and breathe mermaids, merman – the whole life,’ says Blix, who is known as Eric when he’s a ‘two-legger’.

The top 10 fish and chip shops across the UK have been revealed and we’re seriously thinking about doing a grand tour of chippies for our next staycation.

The salty top 10 has been named by the 2017 National Fish & Chip Awards, who will be crowning an overall winner in January.

And it seems the humble chippy has gone all fancy. It’s not just battered sausages, saveloys and cod and chips on the menu anymore.

These days, the top chippies also offer whole lobster, battered halloumi (yum) and lattes to go.

The obvious culmination of these three things? Metallic lips. They’ve been a huge trend all over Instagram. Everyone’s doing ’em.

So of course, when Bite Beauty unveiled their own super sparkly, glittering gold lipgloss to achieve the metallic lips trend, beauty-lovers lost their sh*t.
