Long have we dreamed of visiting Rome, and when we dream these dreams, we dream of a very specific scenario.

We ride around on Vespas with someone cute. We wear white shirts and sunglasses. We speak perfect Italian. Everything is in black and white.

And most importantly, we sip wine and eat gelato and pizza by the Trevi Fountain.

Yes, perhaps these dreams were inspired mostly through old films and Mary-Kate and Ashley’s iconic video release, When In Rome. But still. They’re important to us.

Which is why it’s such a bummer to learn that we… Read the full story

My wife and I don’t have a bucket list. But there are certain things that we’ve both always wanted to do – and visiting a nudist beach was one of them.

If this seems like a strange thing to be in anyone’s personal collection of things to do before you die, I should point out that it’s probably in the blood.

My extended family has its own nudist contingent – something we always regarded as an oddity when I was growing up, until I actually grew up and realised it was perfectly normal.

So when were looking around for things to do on our recent visit to Swanage, in Dorset, it seemed… Read the full story

Ever made a spelling mistake or sent your CV to the wrong person? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. And we’ve all felt the embarrassment and dread that comes afterwards.

What it's like to live with debilitating health anxiety

However, how many of you have accidentally sent out a Super Mario themed CV (that was originally meant as a joke) to your potential employers?

I’m guessing it’s likely this is a rarer case – but one that one unlucky couple had to deal with.

When 25-year-old James asked his girlfriend Shannon-Marie, both from Kent, to make him a CV as he was… Read the full story

Look, when you spend a lot of time working on the appearance of your butt, it feels like a waste to cover it up.

Plumber accidentally applies for work with a Super Mario themed CV

You could just wear very tight jeans, or retrain as a swimming instructor so you can wear a bikini all day.

But those seem like silly options when compared to a third, much more practical idea: buying these butt-less jeans for the bargain price of $570 (£445).

To be clear, when we say ‘butt-less jeans’, we do not mean jeans for those without buns, hun.

The sun might be out ’til pushing 10pm right now, but increased daylight doesn’t necessarily mean optimum makeup lighting.

What it's like to live with debilitating health anxiety

In fact a recent survey of 488 people by Lighting Direct found that 77% of women are applying their makeup in poor lighting and are unhappy with their lighting situation, with 71% having to check their face in another room to approve their application.

Dud lighting is resulting in us using too much foundation and uneven eye makeup according to said survey – and this needs to stop immediately.

It’s sunny, hurrah! Ok, sorry, we’ll shut up about the weather, it’s just that it’s got me thinking: The summer is never a guarantee of sunshine is it? No.

There’s no definite in achieving a warm radiant look on the face when the sun is playing hide and seek among the rainclouds.

Highlighters have often been there for us to achieve said warm, radiant look when the actual sun hasn’t bothered showing up.

Recently, you might have spotted some memes focusing on girls eating in front of the people they’re dating. 

All mums will be able to relate to Barbie's modern-day motherhood Instagram account

Usually, the meme includes the caption: ‘Girls eating in front of their partners vs me’, with a couple of photos alongside it – the first showing a girl looking embarrassed about eating, and the latter a girl who doesn’t care at all.

Many may assume that this simply says one girl is completely comfortable while another girl doesn’t want to be judged for the way she eats or… Read the full story

After her inspiring talk about depression and its effects, we didn’t think Barbie could become any more relatable.

Sure, as kids we were brought up to think Barbie was the perfect woman – with her long blonde hair, unrealistic figure, and her vast amount of friends and love-interests (sorry Ken, you’ve always had competition) – but it turns out, there’s so much more to Barbie than hair and beauty.

If the breaking bakery news is to be believed, your pre-work croissant is about to be a lot more expensive – and it’s all down to the rising cost of butter.

The deeper meaning behind the fear of eating in front of your partner

According to the Federation of French bakeries (FEB) the price of butter is set to rise to €5.37 per kilo, almost double the €3 that it cost the previous May.

Armelle Farve, a representative from the FEB, told The Local that the increased price is due to the high demand of milk in Asian countries. ‘

How do you raise a child with a healthy respect for other people’s boundaries?

In the case of women’s leadership coach Nisha Moodley, the answer is creating a clear dialogue of consent and respect.

Five highlighters everyone needs to try

Nisha does this by making sure that whenever she picks up her son, Raven, she asks for his permission, first.

‘Since the moment he was born, we’ve always asked before we pick him up,’ Nisha explained on her Instagram, explaining that when he was too young to speak, she choose to ‘feel’ for his ‘yes’ instead.

Easton Dufur recently shared a story about his two dogs, Stitch and Cookie.

Over time, Stitch trained Cookie to eat just half of the food out of the bowl to save some for him – and… Read the full story

You can hang on to your avocados and unicorn cakes, because 90s kids had the real good stuff when it came to food.

What it's like to live with debilitating health anxiety

90s kids didn’t concern themselves with this fancy nonsense like kale and chia seeds. Instead we were busy guzzling down Sunny D and chomping on turkey twizzlers.

There were no awful school rules enforcing healthy eating, and banning sweets. So of course we stuffed our faces with all of the pizza flavoured Cheesestrings we could get our sticky hands on during break time.

Usually we’re not huge fans of brands trying to get in on social causes to sell their products.

But this one’s not too in your-face, so we guess it’s kind of sweet.

Genius curly hair tips for sweaty summer days (and commutes)

To honour Pride Month, Skittles has decided to get rid of all the different colours of their sweets, instead going all-white.

Why? To give up their ‘rainbow’, of course – because ‘only one rainbow matters this Pride.’

The flavours remain the same, but all the Skittles in the Pride Month packs are white, making the packs a bit of a mystery mix.

Babies are pure and joy delight. Apart from when they’re crying, refusing to sleep, pooing, or eating. Which happen to be the activities that make up most of their time.

One of their most infuriating moments? When they’re gassy, refuse to be burped, and thus begin wailing.
