It’s getting warm out there, guys. 

Well, actually it’s raining, but it’s June and the other day it was nice, and everyone keeps saying it’ll be properly summery soon.

What comes with summer? Sweating.

Everyone knows the feeling. Your clothes are stuck to your back, you’ve got a proper SULA (sweaty upper lip alert) and your bits are schvitzing…

It could be tempting if you know that you’re going to be out and about, and maybe end up in an intimate situation later, to try and take precautions. Precautions like deodorant.

The male deodorant market (we’re not talking about normal underarm deodorant, we’re talking about bollock deo) is booming.

Pubic hair is back in.

After decades of being ripped off, shaved away and dissolved with horrible removal creams, our short and curlies are suddenly in vogue.

Waxing guilt: why getting rid of your pubes doesn't undermine your feminism

Body positivity bloggers have encouraged us to embrace our bodies just the way they are and women are starting to listen.

Whether you’ve got more cellulite than a satsuma or your arm pits are hairier than a poodle, these campaigners have made it acceptable to show off our bits without any sexual gaze or judgement.

Brazilian waxes feel like they belong to a bygone age.

Despite 28 proposals (none), I have never married.

I’m not a huge fan of weddings and I was certainly never one of those little girls (or boys, I suppose) who dreamt about their Big Day. (Unless of course the Big Day could be 24 hours with Steven Gerrard and a magic sponge. In which case, yep, had lots of those dreams.)

Is life better for singles or married people?

So weddings. Meh. And hen nights? Double-meh. Crass AF, no?

But, chickens, it seems I’ve been missing out.

Summer is almost here, which means it’s time to ditch your neutral makeup in favour of something a little more vibrant and sun-appropriate – like the eyeshadow palette Urban Decay are set to be releasing.

Guys, they've opened a Greggs drive-thru

The Naked palette every beauty type is obsessed with is getting a summery update, with tones of copper, burnt orange, and brown.

The beauty brand teased the new palette on their Instagram account last night, telling their many fans ‘Something hot is coming’ – which of course led fans into a bit of a frenzy.

One family threw the most amazing quinceañera for their cat Luna, in celebration of her 15th birthday. 

Waxing guilt: why getting rid of your pubes doesn't undermine your feminism

A quinceañera is the Hispanic tradition of celebrating a young girl’s coming of age – her 15th birthday.

For one family, it was only appropriate to throw a quinceañera for their cat on her 15th birthday, too.

‘Think like if sweet 16 was a big deal. Generally lavish parties are thrown for the event,’ Luna’s owner, Angel Olavarria, told metro.co.uk.

One of the greatest lessons I’ve had to learn in life has been to deal with ‘gingerism’.

The shade of my hair has been the cause of some of the most distressing moments in my life.

Pot pizza now exists and it's definitely the cheesiest way to get high

I do largely think of my red hair as a blessing – and it’s something that I’m immensely proud of.

But that’s not always been the case.

As a young boy, I hated it. I dreamed of being blond or brown-haired – anything that would stop the taunts chucked in my direction… Read the full story

When Bob was found in a barn, abandoned and scared, he was in such a bad state that he could barely move, see, or eat.

He’d been neglected so much that his fur had grown long and matted, forming dreadlocks that weighed him down and left him in pain, struggling to walk with ease.

Thankfully, he was found in time, along with another dog found in the barn, and taken to Southern Cross Animal Rescue (SCAR).

There, staff named the dog Bob Marley, thanks to his dreadlock style fur.

Whether you like the magazine’s principles or not, Playboy’s front pages are iconic.

Hef certainly knows his stuff when it comes to choosing cover girls.

I'm proud of my red hair - even if people can be pr*cks about it

So, as a sort of homage to ageless beauty, this month Playboy have reached out to seven former Playmates to get them to recreate their legendary magazine covers.

And the results are beautiful.

Working with Hugh Hefner’s idea that ‘once a Playmate, always a Playmate’, the series features various models, including his former wife, Kimberley Conrad Hefner, and others who were involved… Read the full story

When you make the decision to call things off with the person you’re dating, it can seem a little illogical to then transition straight into friendship.

Waxing guilt: why getting rid of your pubes doesn't undermine your feminism

You broke up for a reason, right? There are valid reasons why you don’t want to spend time with this person – why does that change when your relationship goes from romantic to friendly?

And yet, despite how nonsensical this decision may appear, we keep bloody doing it.

We tell ourselves that we don’t want to lose this person entirely (but we definitely don’t want… Read the full story

Poaching is a huge problem in parts of Asia and Africa, with wild animals being slaughtered for their hides and tusks.

Animals who were once commonplace are increasingly threatened with extinction.

We all know that but it can still be difficult to really relate to the problem when we’re miles away.

Which is why LA-based photographer Natasha Wilson spends her time creating beautiful pictures of wildlife saved from the black market trade.

I’ve never wanted kids.

The entire concept just makes me shudder.

It’s not that I dislike children, full stop – I just wouldn’t want one around full time, much less one that I have to look after.

This might seem unusual to many people – after all, I’m a young woman, don’t I dream of settling down and having kids one day?

What, do I need to don an apron and get in the kitchen, too?

This isn’t the 1950s, and I don’t want to give up my life to have a child.

Why can't I stop calling my partner schnookums?

Everyone I’ve spoken to about my absolute certainty that I’ll never have children have just smiled and told me I’ll probably change my mind one day.

I find this response infuriating – I’m basically being told I don’t know my own mind.

The thing is, I’ve… Read the full story

If you were ever picked on at school, you’ll remember this feeling when you reached July of Year 11: sheer relief.

All the gleeful, simmering teenage cruelty would stay in the playground because there wouldn’t be room for nasty behaviour in the adult world.

And we’d all transform from insecure, unhappy teenagers into reasonable teachers and parents – we’d be the ones solving issues, not causing or experiencing them. Right?

No matter how much you workout, your legs spread as soon as you sit down.

You could be doing squats and backwards lunges and leg weights until the cows come home, but as soon as stop flexing, your thighs start expanding.

We all have our crosses to bear.

For some of us it’s the knowledge that we didn’t even need to call an election, but we called one and f***ed it. For others, it’s starting to date a bloke who is so well endowed, it’s causing problems.

Why I want to get sterilised at 24

People were outraged.

When my now teenage daughter Belle was a baby, she was what some people like to call ‘highly sensitive’.

She preferred to have her face within a metre of mine at all times, just to make sure. This meant she wasn’t keen on the idea of separate beds, let alone separate rooms, and being on the floor while I was stood up was just too much.

Please, everyone spare a thought for Malexa Maeweather, a girl who trusted in a designer to help her look incredible for her prom, but was instead left with what can only be described as an utter mess.

How to deal when you take a big gamble and it doesn't pay off

Dee Lewis, from Rochester, New York, shared her daughter, Malexa’s experience on Facebook.

She explained that the designer of the dress had called Malexa the night before prom to pick up the dress, which she had charged $300 (£236) for.

If you’ve ever looked a man’s burger nips and felt a surge of disgust, you’re not alone.

Apparently, women in Japan are also completely repulsed by the sight of male nipples.

Which is why sales of nipple covers for men in the country are soaring.

Japanese sports shop The Dot Shop says that they’ve sold 55,000 units this year already – far more than last year’s figures.

Originally designed to minimise chaffing for runners, the nip plasters are now doing big business for dudes who don’t want their nips on show.

Or you quit your job, confident that you’ll find something better.

Or you call a general election as an attempt to make everything ‘strong and stable’.

Sometimes it’ll work out. Other times, you’ll end up sad and alone, job-less, or dealing with the fallout of a hung parliament.
