17 March is much more than just Guinness, pinching, and wearing green. Like many traditional holidays, St Patrick’s Day has roots in Paganism.

Paganism today goes by many names and is still a practised around the world, with roughly 250,000 neopagans in the United Kingdom alone. Pagan festivals and holidays tend to be rooted around deep connections with nature and natural seasonal cycles.

Every cat owner will know the true joy of burying their face into a cat’s fur and taking an almighty sniff.

Cats don’t exactly smell like roses and biscuits, but their scent is its own brand of incredibly comforting. It’s home. It’s cats. It’s glorious.

So naturally, someone’s come up with a way to bottle it.

If Guinness isn’t your thing, why not go for a baby Guinness this St Patrick’s Day?

Despite the name, this cocktail doesn’t actually contain any beer – it gets its name from the fact that it looks like a glass of dark beer.

Sleep, it’s a glorious thing. But imagine for one second that for your entire life, sleep is the enemy.

It’s something that, instead of allowing you time to unwind, recharge for the next day, and dream of puppies and rainbows, causes you to need a prescription for Prozac, Clonazepam and hypnosis.

It’s a horrible thing to imagine, but for nearly 25 years, I have known that sleep is my enemy, my own personal quirk to be lightly made fun of.

Earlier this week, a study came out saying that using power plates could be just as good for the body as exercise.

In case you aren’t au fait with power plates, they’re vibrating platforms which can be set to different strength vibrations and times.

Head to most commercial gyms and you’ll find people squatting or doing stretches on them because they get the muscles contracting and relaxing effectively.

Coachella and Urban Outfitters might seem like natural bedfellows (both being expensive and faux-hippy), but the love-in as come to an abrupt end.

The contentious products are all under the Free People label (an affiliate of Urban), with names like ‘Coachella Boot’, ‘Coachella Mini Dress’ and ‘Coachella Pocket Tank’.

And the Californian festival giants say that this is proof that Urban is ‘trading on the goodwill and fame’ of Coachella.

Unlike in America, Mother’s Day is celebrated much earlier in the year in Britain.

Mothering Sunday is linked to Easter over here in the UK with the US equivalent being entirely separate and taking place in May.

However both dates have the same sentiment with sons and daughter often buying their mothers flowers, gifts and spending the day visiting.

And because of that, we’re keen to latch on to any tip or trick that’ll make our sleep better or help us learn more.

But often, these don’t actually end up being true.
