It will surprise no-one to hear me say that weddings are expensive.
By the time you’ve bought dinner for all your closest friends and family, chances are money will be feeling quite tight. So the idea of spending thousands of pounds on a wedding dress can be overwhelming.
Or, like me, you might be having a small registry office separately from your wedding, meaning you need two dresses.
There’s a lot of reasons that you might want to spend a little less on your dress, but the great news is that everyone’s favourite fast fashion outlet ASOS has a range of dreamy dresses that are just as beautiful as a designer gown.
The dress is the vintage-style dream. It would… Read the full story

So successful was my selfie spree that I decided to… Read the full story

Back in the day, when I was a fresh-faced uni student studying and living hundreds of miles from home, I was in a unique situation.
I lived with an ex-boyfriend, and it’s not something I would like to repeat.
We met during my first year.
When it was time for me to move out of student accommodation in my second year, we decided to look for somewhere together – mostly out of convenience really.
The situation was already kind of unique to… Read the full story

We all know that being under the influence of any drugs or alcohol is likely to make us do some very, very stupid things.
Usually, this is okay. Gently weeping while telling someone all about that time your mum took you to ride a donkey on the beach may be embarrassing for a day or so after, but it’s not terrible enough to cause long-term life-ruining damage.
But sometimes, our high or drunken stupidity can have serious consequences.
For people… Read the full story

Since November 2015 we’ve relied… Read the full story

When we see endless pictures of flat-tummied celebs gleefully telling stories of how they ‘bounced back’ after giving birth, it’s easy to forget that actually, it’s entirely normal to not instantly return to the way you looked before getting pregnant – if you ever do.
And that’s okay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a post-baby body, and it’s absurd… Read the full story
Photographer Tish Murtha first starting taking pictures as a defence against creepy guys.
Growing up in the west end of Newcastle, she’s often get pestered by ‘middle class kerb crawlers’, calling to young women to ask them for sex.
Trish’s solution? Whipping out her camera.
Just the threat of taking a picture (even if there wasn’t actually any film in the camera) was enough to send men speeding off into the distance.
That’s how it started. But once Trish fell in love with photography, her camera… Read the full story
When you tell people you’ve got depression, you’re likely to hear – from at least one person – a few classic suggestions.
‘You should just go for a run,’ they say.
‘Get outside more.’
‘Just try to think a little more positively!’
This is wellsplaining, and it’s bloody rubbish.
Like mansplaining, wellsplaining works on the assumption that for some reason, the person doing the explaining knows best.
Like a mansplainer believes they’re more qualified to give an opinion… Read the full story

Being vegan doesn’t mean missing out on a Sunday afternoon whiled away in a cosy pub while enjoying a roast.
In London, there are still plenty of vegan Sunday roast options, if you know where to look.
Be careful though because vegetarian roasts are often egg-bound nut loafs or a goats cheese-filled wellington, served with buttered veg and a Yorkshire.
And where the roast is vegan or vegan-adaptable, it is very rarely labelled as such.
So we’ve done the hard work for you and tracked down 17 vegan-friendly roasts to… Read the full story
