Do you need more time?
London has a habit of making everyone feel rushed. Whether it’s commuting from Tooting to White City or travelling from your flat in Dalston to a party in Putney, getting around can take days away from your life.
A shocking twist!
The capital’s hipsters have been known to hand over hard cash just for a cuddle, and it’s no wonder why. London is officially the UK’s least friendly city, according to a study which outlines the country’s cleanest, safest and most trustworthy towns and cities.
Provident Personal Credit surveyed 2,642 people, and residents were asking residents to rate on a scale of 1-10 on how they felt within their community. Provident asked people about eight separate factors, from how clean and safe an area felt, to how welcoming, friendly or gossipy the locals… Read the full story
Senior year photos are all about making sure you’ve got a photo to look back on that really represents you in that current moment.

Facebook is a place where a belief in love and genuine relationships go to die.
Or, in other words, a place for an excessive number of engagement announcements, baby photos, and slightly cringe-inducing PDA. So for single people, it’s kind of a minefield. If a minefield is having to pretend to have loads of fun with all your other single friends, instead of… Read the full story
When it comes to dating, everyone has their penny’s worth of advice.
Whether it’s telling people what words to avoid using in their Tinder profile to a feminist dating guru telling women how to talk to men, or even someone telling you how to propose, you can’t move for dating advice.
Some of it’s good, sensible advice (I’m fully behind any dating advice that tells guys not to send unsolicited dick pics), and some of it is so obvious as to be redundant.
But dating… Read the full story

When my Nan was the age I am now, she’d already been married, moved from Cornwall to Luton, popped out three kids and bought her own home.
I, on the other hand, still live at home, have a university degree – that has led nowhere – under my belt, date my friends more than I date guys and spend the rest of my free time binge-watching shows on Netflix or NOW TV.

The rage and disappointment that fill you have no comparison.
A fermented fizzy drink that tastes like pickle juice has become a huge ‘wellness’ trend – but can something so gross-sounding really do you that much good?
Kombucha starts life as a gloopy slab of ‘gone-off’ jelly.
Dubbed ‘immortal health elixir’ by the Chinese, who’ve been drinking it for centuries, it’s technically fermented green or black tea that is said to taste like sweet vinegar.
