The 31 December is a time to take a step back and re-evaluate what is really important to you. There are resolutions galore, people are writing shopping lists… Read the full story
After the skydiving simulators, dodgem cars and ten-storey slides of recent years, the cruise industry is keeping up the pace in 2017 with new features including race tracks, virtual reality rollercoasters and huge water parks.
As well as giant ships this year – many of them on the way to the Chinese market – there will also be the world’s largest square rigger and a luxury vessel heading off on a 141-day world cruise.
Here’s our pick of the top launches of the year…
After a year of hearing all about veganism, the latest diet is flexitarianism.

Vaginas are fantastic.
They are beautiful and natural and should be celebrated, because every single one is a perfect marvel. But even the word vagina still makes a lot of people squirm.
Those people might need to look away now (though we don’t recommend it).
By making an image of a vagina taboo, it affects the way we talk about them and when at least half the population have one, that seems pretty insane. It’s resulted in us not feeling confident to ask questions, not knowing how to care of them properly and a rise in surgeries like labiaplasty.

Undoubtedly these trends will continue but what else will we be… Read the full story
Finding motivation to stay fit has never been easier for women.
While our mums were surrounded by glossy ads of Linda Evangalista and Cindy Crawford strutting their stuff elegantly (and thinly) down New York side walks, we have Instagram.
In the 80s and 90s, women – and their icons – wanted to be thin. There wasn’t a bicep or big bum in sight.
Today, fitness has taken the place of dieting and slimming.… Read the full story
Keeping a New Year’s resolution always feels so do-able on 1 January.
I mean, all you have to do is start doing something you hate/stop doing something you love for 12 months. Easy, right?
But whether you manage to keep your resolutions essentially rests on… Read the full story
You may think your outfit choices are pretty spot on.
And you’re likely correct. Our readers are a very stylish bunch, we’re sure.
But no matter how brilliant your outfit may be, no matter how perfectly tailored your jeans and how pristine your shirt, your outfit will never measure up to the brilliance of the outfit achieved by 27-year-old Jeremy Pledger.

Belgian chocolate makers Xolato have created a gin infused with cocoa beans from Colombia, Pietmonte hazelnuts, Avola almonds, wild Madagascan chilli peppers and vanilla pods.
The gin has 47 botanicals in total, including juniper.
The result is a sweet, silky-smooth gin, called ‘X-Gin’, that its makers claim not only tastes divine but is also an aphrodisiac.
