When it comes to bridal photoshoots, most brides call upon their bridesmaids to create memories that’ll last forever.

An ode to beetroot: the greatest vegetable of all time

But one bride decided to go in a different direction – by asking her best guy friends to join her for the shoot.

24-year-old Rebeca Abrantes studies computer engineering and is one of just four women in her class of 60 students, and so therefore has gained more guy friends than she has girls.

One week before her wedding, she was browsing the internet for last-minute bridal ideas – some of which included… Read the full story

A café has started serving lattes in avocados

From 1st June 2016, the Squirtle plush will be available both online and in stores across the UK.

However, different packages are expected depending on how you’re buying.

For instance, if you’re buying the plush online, the package includes a 14″ plushie of the Pokemon, which will come with a matching sound chip to replicate its iconic cry to make the experience of owning a Pokemon more realistic for fans.

If you’ve been shaving your underarms for your own smooth pit pleasure, you go right ahead.

But if you’ve been battling the stubble purely out of societal pressure, it might be time to give it up.

New research shows that choosing not to shave underarms and other areas is becoming more and more common, meaning it’s really not as ‘out-there’ as it was once considered to be.

Alright, alright. We’ve had our fun. We’ve learnt some lessons. But it’s time to shut it down.

Clearly, the human race cannot be trusted with things like avocados or coffee.

Clearly, if we find a food we like, we just have to take it to a ridiculous conclusion and ruin it forever.

Once upon a time, avocados were great.

Then we hipsterfied them, smushed them on toast, and started paying £6 quid for the immense pleasure of eating a bit of chili flake speckled mush on a bit of sourdough.

I have lost count of the number of children’s birthday parties I have thrown and attended over the years.

There is one party, though, that I will always remember. Oh hang on, no there isn’t – they are all the same.

A normal kids’ birthday party involves 20 or so children getting hyped up on sugar, running around a lot when you want them to play musical statues, and scoffing their way through a hundredweight of party rings and pink wafer biscuits.

If you spent any time on the internet this week, you probably came across the RompHim.

You know, the RompHim. A romper (the U.S. term for a playsuit), but for men.

The RompHim’s announcement was a much needed bit of ridiculousness in the midst of tough political times.

Its design is simple, chic. It’s practical – as long as you don’t have to pee. It’s stylish. Its name won’t threaten your fragile masculinity.

The RompHim has become such a trend that Reebok has jumped into the playsuit game, too.

Beauty is in the eye of the debit card-holder.

We’re a nation of vain obsessives, according to new research which has found that the average Brit spends almost £4,500 every year on looking good.

Rainbow bagels? Unicorns? Mermaids?

Anyone who’s anyone is eating galaxies, not mythical creatures or the refraction of light.

The Bagel Store, the same people behind the bagel that started the whole colourful bagel hype, has just unveiled the glitter galaxy bagel.

It’s a bagel (obviously) with colours from the galaxy theme that started being a food trend last year: purple, black, and teal, swirled around in bagel form.

I’ll tell you what you haven’t done. You haven’t converted a bus into a three-bedroom family home.

Unless of course you’re Cambridgeshire inventor Rick Hunt, who decided to build his family of four’s dream home out of a disused double-decker in a bid to have thousands of pounds and live mortgage-free.

The Hunt family spent just under £20,000 on the project, leaving them without a mortgage or a care in the world.

And better still, they can drive it anywhere they like.

Like many kids of the 90s, I was really into Beanie Babies.

I managed to rack up a collection of 113 Beanie Babies (yes, that includes some of the really rare ones. No, I did not keep the tags on. It’s a very sore subject, let’s not discuss it further) in total.

We’ve seen some brilliant ways to cover dark undereye circles in our time.

Glitter tears, for example. Pom poms.

But nothing compares (nothing compares) to pizza concealer.

Can food actually help with mental health?

Pizza concealer involves painting pizza slices on to your face, with the slices going from your eyes downwards.

You may let the cheese drip as far down your face as you like, dependent on just how far the evidence of your sleepless night spans.
