I am, I regret to admit, incredibly easily influenced. I’ve never met a trend I didn’t love.

I ‘joined’ Kaballah as a teenager (bit of red string round the wrist, bleating about spiritualism). I Dukan-ed in 2012, 5:2ed in 2013, and took the Ice Bucket/No Make Up selfie challenges in 2014.

So it won’t come as much of a surprise that I took the idea of hygge and ran with it.

For anyone who’s managed to survive the hygge barrage of the last six months, hygge is the Danish ritual of relaxing… Read the full story

Remember when 17-year-old Jamal Hinton accidentally got invited to a random Thanksgiving dinner?

Jamal received a text from someone who said they were his grandma inviting him to Thanksgiving. When he didn’t recognise the number, he asked her to send a photo – and it turned out not to be his grandma at all.

However, because the world is a wonderful place, they ended up becoming mates anyway.

'Harambe Loved Christmas' is the only Christmas jumper you'll ever need

And now their initial text friendship just got taken up a notch, after Jamal actually made the journey to see the grandma he’d… Read the full story

When you think of the icons of 2016, who do you automatically think of?

Ed Balls? Trump? Honey G?

A Tumblr user is getting her amputated toe made into jewellery, because Tumblr

No, of course not. There can only be one character who’ll go down in the history books as the hero, the meme king of 2016.

And that, obviously, is Harambe.

Which is why he’s now been immortalised in the form of an ugly Christmas jumper – and you can get for $49.99 (£40).

Tumblr is a creative platform. It’s a place for angsty teens and artists alike. For gifs of rain and inspirational quotes.

So it might not come as a complete bolt out of the blue to discover that there are some pretty weird Tumblr interactions going on.

We all need a few simple pleasures in our lives. Peeling the plastic bit off the front of a new phone, landing a ball of paper perfectly into a bin from six meters away and, ever since the advent of the internet, watching totally hypnotic videos.

Teenager charged £586 of makeup to her mum's card

This one shows how laser cutting works, and it’s a joy to behold.

Basically a laser whizzes its way through card, cutting out perfect shapes, and it looks a bit like magic

While PSHE lessons at school would have you believe that if you so much as touch a joint you’ve put yourself on a one-way road to a future crack addiction, others have a different approach.

Weed is known for its health benefits – including helping alleviate Parkinson’s tremors – and it’s even been suggested that it could assist alcoholics in giving up drinking.

Florida remains one of the top holiday destinations in the world and with good reason.

It is home to some of the most beautiful wildlife, stunning scenery and oldest communities in the US.

What it's like when your gym partner is your mum

Admittedly, the state has had a rough time of it recently.

Between homophobic night club shootings, alligator attacks, tiger attacks, Tesla deaths, boat accidents and Hurricane Hermine, 2016 has not been a good year for its residents.

But as a holiday destination, the place deserves attention.

And it’s not just NASA, Disney World and Miami that makes it worth visiting.… Read the full story

He may have a mouth looser than Kayne on a late-night Twitter rant, but we have to face facts – ex-reality TV star, Donald Trump, is going to be the 45th president of the United States.

(You have permission to be sick in your own mouth now.)

But, before he swooped in during a shocker of an election night that left the world numb and with the worst hangover EVER, Trump had a few things to say about Mexico. And none of them were good.

Winter isn’t coming any more – it’s well and truly here.

This stigma of taking sick days really needs to stop

For the next three months, every time you open the front door you’ll be hit with a howling gale, gusting snow and lashing rain.

OK, it’s maybe not that dramatic – but it is damn cold outside.

And your skin is probably crying a little bit about it.

It’s time to step up your skincare game, friend.

Christmas desserts, on the whole, are pretty bad.

Whoever thought that a pudding made almost entirely from boiled fruit was the way to celebrate the birth of Christ was clearly off their heads.

What it's like when your gym partner is your mum

And what’s worse is that the same horrible dried and boiled fruit is involved in minced pies and Christmas cake. The only non-fruity dessert is chocolate log, and that’s just generally a massive disappointment.

So we, as a nation, are in desperate need of a festive dessert overhaul.

If you do call in sick, some people will assume you’re faking or that you’re weak.
