Once upon a time, if you wanted to meet someone special, you’d try to catch their eye across a crowded bar, and ask if they fancied another gin and tonic.

However, in 2017, it’s becoming just as common to catch someone’s eye at the gym and ask if they’d like some of your isotonic.

Once upon a time, Amazon was just for buying books. 

This guy received a letter of apology from his ex which he then graded and sent back

Then it turned out that you could buy other stuff on there, like water pistols and printers and we all became attached to the idea of shopping without leaving our houses.

But the one area that Amazon doesn’t seem to have quite nailed yet is clothing.

At least until now. Amazon is introducing a new lingerie line, Iris&Lilly and we’ve been hearing some exciting things.

Firstly, the price on these undies is amazing. You can get a bra for less than… Read the full story

Regardless, whether your bedroom looks like the decor section of a high-end fashion magazine or a… Read the full story

When Ollie Garch asked his girlfriend to buy him a two-pack of socks, he wasn’t expecting her to gift him with just the one. Featuring Tupac. 

This guy received a letter of apology from his ex which he then graded and sent back

That’s right, Ollie’s girlfriend hilariously decided to play a little prank on him – arriving home with a pair of socks with Tupac’s face on them, complete with his signature bandanna.

We all know that the female orgasm can be tricky to trigger (for men anyway).

Which is why there’s no shortage of bizarre and tedious-sounding suggestions for women and their partners to help achieve orgasm.

But one that apparently requires almost no effort at all, is the claim that women can orgasm by listening to a specific musical note.

It’s supposed to make women quiver without any actual physical stimulation.

If you went out this weekend in the hope of pulling yourself a hot new beau – and failed – then you might be wondering what went wrong.

You looked cracking. Your banter was on fire. You cleaned your teeth before heading out. So why did no one bite the bate?

But fear not – a new study claims to have discovered exactly how women should dance in order to appear sexy and attractive.

The key apparently is to let your hips swing and get movement flowing through your arms and legs.

When I went out for my first ever run, in September 2015, I wore denim shorts, a short-sleeved knitted top, and fake converse-style shoes from Primark.

I had nothing else aside from old trainers from my school days buried deep in my wardrobe, so this debut running outfit was the most logical I could conjure up.

I figured, who cares what I wear? I just need to run.

Despite it being almost two years ago, the 19th of May 2015 feels like yesterday. It sticks in my mind because someone took a pair of scissors to my ponytail and then shaved my hair off.

Apparently this musical note can make women orgasm easily

And no, I didn’t have an illness that meant I may lose it anyway.

I swear, so many brides-to-be and organisers start scratching their heads a few weeks into the round robin emails, as operation hen extravaganza kicks in, and think, ‘why exactly do we do it to ourselves?’

You’ll get some muttering ‘it’s so bloody expensive’ while others will be resentful the time they are sacrificing.

Jaw-dropping landscapes, cosmopolitan cities and more adventure activities than you’ll know what to do with (and that’s before I even mention the Lions rugby tour) – this is why you need to visit New Zealand this summer.

The hijab is a head covering that many of us have seen Muslim women wear.

Those who don’t have knowledge of what it means may believe that wearing the covering is a symbol of oppression. However, this couldn’t be more incorrect.

Mulberry and Preen just made it okay to wear your duvet to work

The word hijab means ‘barrier’ or ‘partition’ – however, in Islam, the covering holds a wider meaning. Wearing the hijab is part of the principle of modesty and privacy, that includes behaviour as well as dress, for both men and women.
