Weymouth is about three and a half hours on the train from London, and it’s completely worth a visit.
It’s not only a great value destination, it’s also surrounded by beauty spots.
And with plenty of sun and hidden gems to discover, it’s perfect for a summer staycation.

America’s cannabis culture has gone from strength to strength in recent times.
As more and more states legalise the stuff, we’ve seen all sorts of innovative companies and products pop up.
They’ve got edibles we could only dream of. Whole travel networks dedicated to helping weed enthusiasts find suitable accommodation. Weed-enhanced yoga classes.
So it was only a matter of time before someone finally worked out a way of buying weed online.

Ah, men.* So often thinking that everything women do revolves around them.
*Yes, yes, not ALL men. Just some. Okay?
It turns out that many men don’t only think that women are wearing makeup for their benefit (a common belief), but the majority actually believe that women wear makeup to trick men into thinking they’re attractive.
Right then.
A survey from YouGov found that 63% of men believe that the main reason women wear makeup is to… Read the full story
A new study has found eating breakfast from a square bowl standing up is the best way to make sure your groggy morning brain realises and appreciates it’s being nourished, apparently.
Alongside using square bowls, participants in this study found that eating while standing, ditching coffee and eating post some kind of mindfulness activity were all beneficial towards our appreciation and satisfaction from the meal.
When you think about breakfast what comes to mind?
For me,… Read the full story
It’s National Masturbation Month and it’s time to celebrate.
After all, what is better than getting yourself off, turning yourself on and giving yourself mind-blowing orgasms in your lunch break?
However, despite traditionally being known as something done on your own, masturbation is also an activity you can do with your partner.
It’s guaranteed to give amazing results because, let’s face it, it’s likely to be something you’re both very good at.
So despite having the least sexy name (do not attempt to arouse your… Read the full story
Last year, we issued a very important warning about the potential for your ice cream eating plans to be entirely ruined thanks to a shortage of vanilla.
We wept. We worried. We let our ice cream melt into a puddle around our hands as we despaired for the future.
But thankfully, ice cream continued to be in freezers and nothing too bad actually happened. Hooray.
This year, however, new ice cream related struggles are looming.
This summer could see ice cream become more expensive, thanks to difficulty in getting hold of Madagascan… Read the full story
Purple Wings is a charity which aims to help those with ostomies gain some self-esteem and confidence after surgery.
And ostomy, otherwise known as a stoma, is an incision in the abdomen, made at the end of the intestine. The stoma pokes through the abdomen wall and releases waste into what is called an ileostomy bag.
You can be given a stoma for many reasons – many people with inflammatory bowel disease often face surgery for one, but being in an accident and wounding your intestines or suffering from bowel… Read the full story
When a young woman was forced out of a chess tournament last week, due to her ‘seductive’ dress (it was knee length and high-necked) the reaction was one of shock.
While I do understand their shock, should we really have been surprised?
It wasn’t even the first story about a woman being forced to withdraw from a chess match based on her appearance. Back in 2012, the European Chess Union brought in rules which forbid cleavage or skirts that were more than four inches above the knee.
It’s not just chess,… Read the full story
If you live in an expensive city, a living room is considered a luxury, let alone a garden.
So the prospect of getting herbs, fruit and veg from anywhere but your local Tesco Metro usually isn’t even a consideration.
Or if you have some extra cash, a Whole Foods or farmer’s market at best.
Which is a massive shame – after all, growing your own food is cheap, rewarding and can be great for our mental health.
Though still an understandable… Read the full story
The human mind can take absolutely anything and make it downright rude or dirty – but with some words in the English language, the work is pretty much done for us already. Skiddy-cock? Fanny blower? Flange, ffs! All completely inappropriate and disgusting, right?
Well, no. Pick up that monocle that sprung from your eye socket in horror and compose yourself – for there are a great many words that sound like they should be repulsive swears but actually have totally innocent meanings.
Here are 19 of our favourites – see how many you can get into your next workplace meeting.

I’ll admit it, in the past, I’ve felt pressured to lose weight just because my friends have – in whatever way, that my friends have.
I haven’t been happy with my body for a long time, and recently, I’ve started attempting to change that.
I’ve started eating better, I’ve started drinking more, I’ve managed to suppress the urge to binge on an entire family-sized bar of chocolate each night. You catch my drift.
But I’m doing all of this in my own time. I’m slowly weaning out different foods, I’m going to pace… Read the full story
In the early stages of a relationship, you try to be as perfect as possible.
You attempt to keep a lid on your awful temper. You try to sleep carefully so as not disturb your eyeliner – meaning it’s still intact the next morning. You actively avoid doing anything you’re not good at around your new beau to avoid embarrassment.
My boyfriend is dead into tennis and I’ve spent the past month trying to avoid playing it with him because I am truly awful and don’t want him to think… Read the full story
Some say three’s a crowd, and I’d have to agree with that statement.
I once believed having more close friends could work – they certainly did in high school when I was in a friendship group of more than five people.
But it all changed as I grew older and found myself in a threesome.
The difference between three and five is, if you have a ‘best friend’ in a group of five, there are enough people so no one feels left out.
In a group of 3, ultimately, someone’s completely… Read the full story
It’s pretty tricky to provide advice, help, and support around the topic of breast cancer when a part of the breast is considered too inherently sexual to show all over social media.
While male nipples are a-okay to appear on Facebook and Instagram, female nipples are the definition of pure, sexualised evil.
Despite being just a part of the body, female nipples should, apparently, never be seen in case they spark uncontrollable lust and mass devastation.
Which makes things difficult when you’re trying to share instructional videos… Read the full story
The best thing about kids? They’re absolutely, innocently hilarious and they don’t even know it.
Seriously, most of the stuff that comes out of their mouth makes you giggle – even when they’re deadly serious.
This man’s children are making more than just their dad laugh. James Breakwell, an Indianapolis-based comedy writer, tweets the conversations he has with his four daughters to give his 769,000 followers a giggle.
Seriously, James has the most hilarious conversations with his daughters – who always seem to out-smart him, no matter what the topic.
I am starting to think about having children.
I’m 26. So it’s not like I’m scraping around for one last decent egg, but (hard as I find it to believe) I wouldn’t exactly be a gymslip mother.
I live in a flat which, if a bit small, doesn’t have any lead paint or live wires, and I’m about to get married.
After several years of working as a nanny, I know that I’m good, great even, with children. I’m all up for school runs and sticky fingers and sleepless nights.
But there’s still this big, big… Read the full story
Yesterday we brought you shoes made of sushi, and today we bring you… Greggs Sushi.
Yes – Greggs Sushi, you read that right.
Brought to you by the Keiko Yamamoto or, the ‘Sushi Queen’ as she is otherwise known, these sushi rolls are created using Greggs products, including steak bakes, sausage rolls and even doughnuts.
And it gets better because Keiko has made a series of videos for those of us wanting to recreate her masterpieces at home (see on of them below).
Many girls spend hundreds on their prom dresses – and boys on suits, let’s be fair.
There’s nothing quite as exciting as buying your first formal dress and hiring your first limo to show off to your friends when you arrive at the prom gates.
This girl has defied expectations by trying something different with her prom dress, she made it herself.
Proms tomorrow. This going to be a thread of me attempting to make a dress the night before

While I have my reservations about 50 Shades of Grey, I have always credited it with one thing.
The book demonstrated that women like sex.
Not just sexy, young women, and not just sweet, vanilla sex. It proved that all sorts of women enjoy all sorts of sex.
The book and film franchise had, in theory, erased the notion that women don’t like kinky or dirty sex.
So how are we still expressing surprise at data which suggests that women, just like men, enjoy dark porn?

One of the biggest sources of shame, for me, is not having a best friend.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m no Billy No Mates.
I’ve got pals. In fact, I’ve got lots of best pals. But I don’t have that one person who I’d say I liked above the rest.
Am I missing out? I don’t know.
I’ve had best friends. I had them at prep school and I sort of had them during high school but they were a part of a large group of friends.
There were about 12 of… Read the full story
