43 year-old Haemin Sunim says that one of the best ways to face reality is to observe it.

Why do people care that women of different sizes are friends?

For him, mindfulness – which you may have practiced yourself – is all about self-awareness and taking a careful look not only at the world around you, but at your own thoughts, whether they’re positive or not.

The same description could very well be applied to the female orgasm.

We all know that drinking to excess every night isn’t great for us – however fantastic it might feel at the time.

It can make you feel sluggish and therefore less likely to schlep it to the gym. It can make you feel like you’ve transformed into some sort of vomcano – rendering any kind of movement impossible.

But can actually wreck your diet?

When living with someone, you should remember to be respectful of your surroundings.

That means keeping what’s yours in the home tidy, sharing chores and ultimately – and here’s the big one – cleaning up after yourself.

But it seems not all flatmates are equipped for this sort of routine – not Twitter user Justin’s, at least.

Why do people think sexuality has a bearing on parenting ability? (Picture: Getty)

If I had a penny for every time someone has commented on two women or two men raising a child I’d probably be able to live in a castle surrounded by Lego.
