I’m very protective of my commutes.

It’s that sacred time between work and home, where it’s completely acceptable to just zone out, listen to music, read, whatever you want to do, and let the people around you just melt into the background.

The other night, my peace on the tube home was rudely interrupted by the sound of a trumpet.

Whether it’s skull-shaped, as dark as our hearts, glittery, or shaped like a unicorn, we love a good bath bomb.

This is exactly how I spend my time (not really) Picture: Getty)

I never thought that I’d be the type of woman who’s partner supports her financially. 

I refuse to be ashamed of relying on my partner for money

But then I didn’t realise I’d be making my way through a complicated maze of a career that, to start with, would pay absolutely nothing.

We talk about how unfair unpaid internships are, we talk about how hard it is to afford to rent in London.

But what we don’t talk about is how people actually get around these obstacles.

We’re unwilling to admit that we’ve had help, whether from our… Read the full story

Not all dogs are snapped up from shelters in an instant. Sheldon, a grumpy-looking Pit Bull terrier was one of them. 

I refuse to be ashamed of relying on my partner for money

Sheldon has a permanent frown that makes him look as though he’s constantly in a strop – but he’s actually one of the most cheerful pups around.

Heather Haltmeyer, a nurse who’s pretty good with a camera, knew this – and so she decided to bring Sheldon’s happy-go-lucky… Read the full story

You may think healthy eating is good but it can go too far.

Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating, which leads sufferers to eat only ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ foods and avoid ‘bad’ or ‘unhealthy’ foods.

I once spent an entire working day making a model of a man’s erect penis and turning it into a vibrator.

So when I was asked by Clone-a-Pussy if I fancied giving the female version a go, it seemed rather churlish to say no.

I review sex toys for work – but it’s definitely not a perfect job

Really, Zara? Really? 

For the last month or so, Zara has been promoting a new campaign that encourages women to love their bodies – their curves, more specifically.

Teenagers have a habit of being sly.

We’ve all been there. We all told our parents that we were going round to our mate’s to watch Dirty Dancing when in fact we were down on the common getting the only person with fake ID to buy enough Malibu to sink a ship.

Half the time, you were too embarrassed or too blotto to call your mum and eventually you’d return worse for wear to find her waiting in the dark, ready to deliver one almighty thrashing.

In many ways, working in an office is just like being at school, except with the added bonus of getting money every month.

You have to do stuff you don’t want to do. You’ve got to work with people you’d never choose to associate with. And the food in the canteen, for the most part, is slop.
