An Australian woman who devastatingly lost her baby boy, has penned an open letter to a shop assistant who gifted her a blanket to wrap her son in when he was born.
Jacinta Jane had gone into Best and Less to return some items she had bought for her unborn child. She had been on the way to the hospital to be induced to give birth to her son, Sammy, who had sadly died in the womb, and she wanted to return the items… Read the full story
If you’re looking for a showstopper for your next birthday, look no further.
Laura Loukaides is a cake artist whose amazing creations look like anything but cakes.
Imagine the confusion when your guests are presented with a cheddar-topped baked potato and beans – only to find that it’s full of deliciously sweet Victoria sponge.
Or imagine the joy at finding that a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs is in fact raspberries, shredded icing and cake.
If there’s one thing we love, it’s seeing people go all out on Halloween with their incredible costumes.
But one dad and daughter duo have really raised the bar for everyone (we’ve already picked a carving winner and this could be the winner for costumes).
Their stunningly dark costumes which were inspired by both Jim Henson’s work in The Dark Crystal and Mad Max.
Michael Tapson created the costumes with his 10-year-old daughter Mia.
They used mainly old things from around their home – though they had to… Read the full story
If you didn’t quite *get* the excitement around the Harry Potter makeup range (it’s based on a book series around wizards… wizards who didn’t wear incredible makeup), we may have an alternative you’ll enjoy.
A Mean Girls makeup palette might be on its way.
We know. That is so fetch.
Pop culture referencing makeup brand Storybook Cosmetics are the ones behind this glorious idea. They shared a picture of their vision on their Instagram, and explained that depending on licencing, their palette could one day become a real thing.
Their concept involves a palette designed to look like a mini Burn Book, containing makeup with shade names every true Mean Girls fan will love.
We’re talking a chocolatey brown Glen Coco, Army Pants, Flip Flops, You Can’t Sit With Us, and Wednesday, which is, of course, pink.
Sadly we’re not able to put this palette on our Christmas lists… Read the full story
We think we’ve just found our happy place.
The town of Caldari di Ortona, Abruzzo, Italy, has always been a delightful destination. It’s a spot on a popular pilgrimage route, the Cammino di San Tommaso, and has glorious sights to be seen and vineyards to visit.
But recently, the town has introduced a feature that takes it from ‘ooh, I’d like… Read the full story
Rick Haugen is a lovely guy who spends his spare time volunteering to help out dogs and cats in need of homes.
He’s also busy runing an insurance company, and could just as easily be spending his time off having lie-ins and watching reruns of Friends, like the rest of us.
But instead, Rick spent his weekend getting up at 6am to help out those in need.
He packed up his van with 29 dogs, 8 puppies, and a cat, then drove from Chicago to Wisconsin as… Read the full story
Attention all people who lost their sh*t over the existence of a Harry Potter themed makeup range: we may have something even more magical to share.
Storybook Cosmetics – the same people behind the Mean Girls makeup palette concept – have made their own range of makeup brushes.
But these are not just any makeup brushes. These are makeup brushes designed to look like your very own Harry Potter wands.
Whoa.
Each different brush type has its own wand design, and they all come packed in a little velvet pouch.
Storybook Cosmetics is the new makeup brand… Read the full story
Sometimes you need a visual reminder of just how huge the world really is.
Something that shows you that all the little annoyances in your life – a rubbish cup of tea,… Read the full story
Romeo the cat and Juliet the dog aren’t the likeliest of couples – but that doesn’t mean their love isn’t real.
Romeo is a ginger tabby cat. Juliet is a miniature schnauzer. They were both taken in at Chula Vista Animal Care Facility in Chula Vista, California after they were found hiding under a car and snuggling up together.
The pair had been living on the streets as strays, and refused to be separated when they were brought in to the shelter.
Look, we’re not saying that this is a smart idea. And we’d definitely recommend against trying to recreate this product at home, because mixing wine with weed is a very, very easy way to throw up, pass out, and regret everything the next day.
We’re just letting you know that weed-infused wine is indeed a thing that exists in the world. You know, just in case you were wondering.
Canna Vine is the new marijuana-infused wine currently doing the rounds all over the internet.
It’s made with organic marijuana and biodynamically farmed grapes (which means they’re organic but have been farmed with some spirituality involved. Cool), and is being sold by multiple marijuana-loving… Read the full story
It’s October, which means it’s officially pumpkin season.
Not artificial pumpkin spice syrup, to be clear. Actual pumpkin, carved and whizzed up into soups and pies. It’s cold, nights are drawing in, and it’s the perfect time to reach for warm, comforting, pumpkin-y foods.
We’re up for adding pumpkin to pretty much anything in October, mostly because we don’t want to waste the pumpkin guts we carved out for our jack o’ lanterns.
But we’ll be honest, we had never considered using them to make brownies until Graze shared this recipe with us.
Fresh herbs are often the difference between a dull dish and one zinging with flavour.
Coriander is the most frequently used herb the world over, used in several continents comprising both Asian cookery and Mexican/South American food.
For years parsley was the most popular herb in Britain, but it now has a slightly dated and naff reputation. Curly parsley, in particular, is used mostly as a garnish. Flat leaf parsley is preferred by cooks under 50.
Last year we shared the story of Philippe Morgese, a single dad from Daytona Beach, Florida, who decided to help out his fellow dads by hosting a special class to help them do their daughters’ hair.
At the time, he said that he was planning to turn that one-off event into a series of classes, called Daddy Daughter Hair Factory.
And this week, Philippe is getting love all over the internet yet again, by sharing pictures of his latest class (yep, the series of classes is still going strong) on Reddit.
This week, The Hills alum Lo Bosworth announced that she’s launching a range of ‘100% natural’ feminine hygiene products, called Love Wellness.
The Cut reports that the range includes boric-acid suppositories designed to treat yeast infections, probiotic pills, a powder called ‘Blue Tea’ that promises to be a ‘fabulous antioxidant’, wipes, cleansers, and moisturisers – all designed for your downstairs area.
Prices start at $8 (£7) and go up to $28 (£23), and Lo Bosworth recommends that women buy everything in the… Read the full story
Choosing a backpack to pack all your belongings in when you head on a long trip can be a stressful experience. Get the wrong one and you could have to heft around an irritating weight for six months, or you may not have enough space for your extensive wardrobe or souvenirs you will soon regret buying.
It is hard to know where to start when you try out backpacks. It all seems highly confusing. How many litres do I need? Do I really need a hip belt? But what if I don’t like the colour… Read the full story
