Unicorn Hair Dye is here and we couldn’t be any more excited.

As someone who's chronically ill, here's why I can't stand calling in sick

Lime Crime Makeup will soon release their new range of dye, ‘Lime Crime Unicorn Hair‘, a set of hair colours that are 100% cruelty-free and vegan.

Released in a set of 11, each colour is as magical as the next – and ready to mix. With colours such as ‘Dirty Mermaid’ (green) and ‘Bunny’ (a pastel baby pink), it’s no wonder the name ‘Unicorn Hair’ just made perfect sense.

Alright, ASOS. Now you’re just taking the piss.

We accepted the dinosaur tail as a snazzy addition to our festival and work ensembles. We just about got our head around the band t-shirt with a giant ruffled sash.

But this is the limit.

Right now, at this very moment, ASOS is selling a choker that spells out ‘sausage’.

Yes. Sausage. In sterling silver.

We were first alerted to the existence of said choker by a tweet which asked a very, very important question: is ASOS okay?

The first time you have sex with someone with a penis sans condom, you notice it.

The cold, slimy embrace of their semen, sliding down your leg. Creating a damp patch on the bed. Sitting in between your butt cheeks.

They never mention this bit in sex ed. They never show the waddle to the toilet in rom-coms. There are no magazine sex tips focusing on whose responsibility it is to get up and get the tissue to wipe yourself down.

Krispy Kreme, as a name, is pretty ridiculous. It’s alliteration at any cost.

The world’s most valuable cut diamond is going on sale on the 4th of April, so if you’ve been looking to expand your jewellery collection, then you’re in luck.

The diamond is being sold by Sotheby’s, in Hong Kong next week. If you’re thinking of buying it you’ll probably need some more deets, so here’s the intel.
