If you thought Tinder was just good for unsolicited dick pics, you’re wrong – because now, people are matching with Jesus. Literally. 

What is a cereal dispenser and should I use one?

Yes, people, Jesus is on Tinder – and he’s been pictured turning water into wine (next to a packet of Swedish Fish).

Though Jesus’s profile claims he’s 21, he admits he’s not sure why it says that, considering he’s actually ‘thousands of years old’.

So, a bit about Jesus. According to the profile,… Read the full story

This week is Endometriosis Awareness Week, with Endometriosis UK campaigning to raise awareness of the condition.

But what is endometriosis, and how can it affect people?

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common condition where tissue that acts like the lining of the womb – the endometrium – is found outside the womb.

It can be found in many… Read the full story

You could read the advice books, subscribe to Babycentre and join every single Mumsnet forum but nothing can truly prepare you for the joys and disasters of parenthood.

This week is Endometriosis Awareness Week: What is endometriosis?

Whatever you’re imagining parenthood to be like, you’re probably wrong.

When it comes to taking care of our children, we learn most of it as we go along. It is all down to trial and error.

Having something stolen from your porch isn’t generally the start of a heart warming story.

WIN: the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, an overnight stay, cocktails and dinner

But in the case of Chrissy Marie, that’s exactly what happened.

Chrissy received a note from a child who’s sister had stolen Chrissy’s windchimes. In the note the child, known only as Jake, apologises for taking the chimes, and explains that his sister wanted them to feel closer to their late mother.

Her post read:

So this was on my door this morning.It said “I am sorry that we stole your Windchimes our mom died and like butterflies so my sister took it and put it by our window I am sorry this is only money I have please do not be mad Jake.”

Well Jake, I not sure who… Read the full story

You might be forgiven for thinking that the sporting arena is one primarily dominated by blokes.

Men’s football, sprinting, marathon racing, and cricket (to name but a few) overshadow the women’s sports to such an extent that half of the population probably couldn’t name a single female footballer, athlete or cricketer.

Do you call yourself a woman, or a girl? 

WIN: the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, an overnight stay, cocktails and dinner

It’s a question that you don’t hear men giving any consideration to. I can’t imagine that a table of blokes in a pub have ever sat around asking each other at which point they’ll transition from boy to a man.*

*outside of a barmitzvah.

When men reach physical maturity, they become men. They don’t apologise for it, and they don’t give it much thought. It just happens. They might question what it means to be a man, but they don’t hesitate to use it as a… Read the full story

The tech industry might be an ever-growing one, but it’s still notoriously male dominated.

Only 28% of software jobs are held by women, and just over a tenth of Fortune 500 companies are headed up by women.

But tech is changing.

While just 5% of tech startups are owned by women, we’re starting up businesses at a rate of 1.5 times the national average – that’s a 20% increase over the last decade.

You get your CV pimped out, you practice your answers and pick out an outfit that makes you feel confident.

That’s the experience that Rosie Reilly had, during her recent interview.

International Women’s Day will take place 8 March and the theme for 2017 is be bold for change.

When it comes to the media the industry, we still need all the women we can get to be bold for change – because as The Fawcett Society explains, the leadership of the media and culture industry is still dominated by men.

Ethical, political and sustainable fashion is tipped to be the next big thing in the style industry, and it’s a development that comes as no surprise to Sophie Slater.

Sophie co-founded Birdsong in 2014 at just 23-years-old, after seeing the effects that funding cuts were having on women’s organisations. Many of these women had incredible crafting skills that weren’t being shown off to the world.

Holding those precious keys in your hand and knowing it’s all yours. You’ve finally done it – you’ve succeeded in getting that difficult first foot on the property ladder. It’s a euphoric feeling like no other.

Us Brits have always been a proud nation of homeowners. Getting that first place is about so much more than bricks and mortar. It is setting down roots, building a potential nest and investing in your future.

These days owning your own home can feel like a dream. Unless you’re blessed with some very generous relatives or a well-paying job, the likelihood of saving enough for the large deposit required feels low.
