One grandmother has become our idol after she was pictured downing shots with a group of young girls while on holiday in Mexico.
Better than that – grandmother, Doreen Grett, actually posted the snap to her Facebook herself, captioning it: ‘Shots… Read the full story
April is an ideal month to take a break – although most associate holiday season with the summer months, many places in southern Europe enjoy very warm temperatures in spring.
Such weather can give you a refreshing break from April showers and help you avoid scorching hot weather that just leaves you burnt, no matter how much suncream you lather on.
Spare a thought for your friendly, neighbourhood sex worker after the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a rise in NI contributions for self-employed workers.
As that is precisely what we are, self-employed.
Put your mind at ease because sex workers pay tax, just like everyone else.
What we do is legal – we don’t have to fudge it with… Read the full story

Whether you have a mental illness or are just feeling a little stressed, you should be talking about mental health. Because it’s just as important as physical health.
It’s powerful to talk about how you’re feeling, to ask for support when you’re going through something tough.
But it can be hard to reach out, be brave, and admit that you’re not okay.
Marks & Spencer’s new initiative is an attempt to make that a little easier.
In partnership with author, comedian, and mental health awareness campaigner Ruby Wax, M&S have launched a new fortnightly event… Read the full story
Dads4Daughters Day takes place on Wednesday 15 March, and seeks to achieve greater equality in the workplace by finding out how many of us are secretly sexist.
Some of us may believe that women are just as capable as men in the workplace – but subconsciously feel more comfortable with having a male boss.
We could support gender equality, but still have views about certain activities, jobs or roles as being exclusively male or female without realising it.
To tackle… Read the full story
Around the world, young girls are missing out on education because they’re unable to access sanitary products.
We’ll be honest – we thought that was only an issue in other places, where provisions for women’s health are seriously lacking. We thought that over in the UK, we’d done enough to make sure that menstruation would never hold back girls from getting an education.
We were wrong.
New research has shown that… Read the full story
The eternal question that plagues each of us on the reg- can you sustain a conversation in public while sitting on a vibrator?
In the immortal words of my personal hero, Justin Bieber, never say never.
In fact, we almost insist you do try because as comedians Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer have shown us in this video, it makes for bloody hilarious viewing.
Nikki, an American stand-up… Read the full story
The phrase ‘spirit animal’ is definitely overused.
People apply it when they talk about Katy Perry eating a cheeseburger or some pulling off some sick burn on Twitter.
It’s losing all meaning, and it must stop.
BUT… having said that, we think it’s still appropriate to use it in reference to relatable animals.
Especially this epically lazy seal, who grabbed a ride on a passing… Read the full story
Ever felt strangely weepy after sex for no discernible reason?

Working out abroad can be difficult.
If you’re on holiday, it can be a struggle to get your arse out of bed and onto the pavement – let alone put in some serious miles.
Then there’s the question of where to run to. If you’re new to an area, the thoughts of running around can be daunting.
But in Bermuda, it couldn’t… Read the full story
There once was a time when random abandoned spaces in London were being converted into hipster bars.
They were pretentious, cramped, and they served overpriced cocktails in jam jars. But they were somewhere to go when you wanted to go a bit harder than the local pub but not out out to a club.
But those days are over.
Because slowly, London is being turned into… Read the full story
The aubergine emoji is great. It conveys so much with just one vegetable. It’s deeply suggestive and inherently romantic.
It’s all you need for a booty text, the only message you need to take a conversation to a new, sexual level, the one emoji that says so little and so much in vegetable form.
But it does have its limits.
There’s no size or race diversity, for example. When you’re using it to represent a penis (which is the only use for this emoji, let’s be real), you are only able to… Read the full story

Sometimes, less is more.
There are those days when all you want to eat is something simple, something delicious and yet uncomplicated in flavour and texture.
You don’t want pickles jostling next to juicy meat. There’s no need for a smattering of sauces.
And fortunately, restaurants and outlets are becoming a bit more sensitive to these sorts of whims.
Even at McDonald’s, for example, you can add and take… Read the full story
One artist is ditching traditional paints and pastels for materials a little closer to nature: human umbilical cords and placentas.
27-year-old Nicole Petrucco, from Bristol, turns umbilical cords into unique, arty keepsakes and the placentas into health products.
She started her business after trying placenta pills – something used by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Coleen Rooney – before learning to make… Read the full story
Look, I’m sure your cactus is adorable. As a fellow mother to multiple cacti, I’d never trash anyone’s houseplant.
But I can say with some certainty that your plant simply cannot be as cute as these succulents.
Because these particular succulents look like tiny bunny rabbits.
And that is as cute as any plant can possibly be.
Over in Japan, people are understandably losing… Read the full story
