Pollution is sucky for you lungs, and as a secondary consideration (less important, but still annoying) really damaging to your skin.

I spoke to skincare expert Lorena Öberg about what we can do to stop the city’s pollution from leaving us with dry, grey skin.

Lorena told me: ‘the pollution that is plaguing our beloved London aka modern pollution is made up of invisible particles that are developed from the traffic fumes, commercial heating… Read the full story

I’ve been an avid fan of pornography for more years than I care to recount.

A keen erotica enthusiast, a hardcore hobbyist, if you will.

Attention plant-lovers: You can now stay in a magical indoor jungle in the middle of London

Louise the rooster is one very special chicken.

Born on a chicken farm, he narrowly escaped being slaughtered by being mistaken for a hen – hence his name, Louise.

If you’re a Londoner, you’ll know the feeling of suddenly needing to escape all the concrete and be in nature.

WIN: 1 of 5 bottles of limited edition 'Holiday Spirits'

You need plants. Greenery. Fresh air. Grass.

You can head to the park, but it’s usually filled with stressed out people in suits power-eating their work lunches. Or you can escape for a weekend in the country, but you’ll end up missing all your city comforts.

For the next few days, however, there’s another option. And it’s super trendy.

Right now, women around the world are having sex that not only doesn’t give them pleasure, but actually causes them pain.

Sex is painful for one in ten women

They’re suffering in silence. Painful sex is still something we hardly talk about, and an issue that’s often dismissed by doctors who can’t find an obvious cause.

It’s a serious problem that we desperately need to fix.

When did you last look at your naked body? I mean, really look?

Chances are, it’s a rare occurrence – and it’s the same for most of us.

Maybe we get a glimpse in the mirror when we’re getting ready for bed.

A second later, we hop under the covers before we see too much and are reminded of all the things we disliked about ourselves.

It’s pretty much ingrained in most people – women especially – to be unhappy with their body.

Yet in falling for this, we shut ourselves off from so much enjoyment… Read the full story

Every true McDonald’s lover deeply understands the Big Mac special sauce struggle.

It’s delicious. We’d quite like to pour it on everything we eat. But for evil reasons we don’t understand, McDonald’s has prevented us from achieving joy by refusing to sell their Big Mac sauce to the general public.

It’s Burns Night – the annual celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns.

Burns Night is every January 25 so now’s the time to crack out the whisky, haggis, neeps and tatties.

This year, the night is happening on what would have been the poet and national hero’s 258th birthday.

It’s a night for poems, bagpipes and a celebration of all things traditionally Scottish.

So clear your throat, raise a glass and toast to the man who brought us Auld Lang Syne and so much more.

Here’s everything you need to know about Burns Night.

You’ve gone through conception, pregnancy and birth, and now the baby is here.

With all the changes that’s going on in your life, sex is probably the last thing on your mind – but there will come a time when that will change.

Doctors will tell you at your six-week postnatal check-up whether you’re physically OK to have sex again.

That’s just the physical side of things – there’s a lot more about sex after a baby that nobody tells you.

There are few pains like the one you get in your feet after a big night out in uncomfortable shoes.

Alcohol is great for numbing high-heel induced agony but once that wears off and the hangover starts to kick in, you begin wondering if you’ll ever walk normally again.

When it comes to giving compliments, I am a bit of a snake.

Most of the time, my compliments are genuine. Other times…I just feel compelled to comment on people’s outlandish or eye catching outfit choices.
