If you thought you were being extra by splashing out on those 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bed sheets in the John Lewis sale last year, then think again.
Your sheets ain’t got nothing on these 24 carat gold woven bed sheets.
Yup, you heard – sheets made with actual gold.
And you can sleep in them at a hotel in Italy’s Milan.
A baby who was born prematurely mid-flight has been granted free flights for life.
The child was born yesterday on a Jet Airways flight from Saudi Arabia to India, after the plane got to diverted due to his mother going into premature labour.
Fortunately, there was a trained paramedic onboard and the baby was born before the Boeing 737 landed.
It’s the first mid-flight birth to happen on the India-based airline, which is why they’ve to mark the occasion by giving the baby a lifetime of free flights.
We’ve seen Converses at their worst, and we’ve seen them at their best.
While we appreciate the creativity that went into rubber Converses, for example, we wish we’d never had to inflict them upon our eyes.
But one new set of the oh-so-popular shoes, however, is another story.
Converse and JW Anderson debuted their design collaboration today and delivered something far better than we could have imagined.
Disco converses.
Essentially glittery, multi-coloured Converses, not only do they come in a range of different colour combinations but are… Read the full story
I have no doubt that 18-year old Korie thought she was being funny when she made her boyfriend a t-shirt to wear on a trip to Malia.
The t-shirt in question, which she has specially made, has ‘if you can read this then you’re to [sic] close so please stay away’ on one side, and a picture of her with her baby daughter on the back, captioned, ‘I love my girls and I hate all the girls in Malia.’
She’s not exactly the first woman to deliberately create her partner a bespoke humiliation garment.
A few years ago Abbie Bartlett, then 20, made her boyfriend Leon Connelly wear a top which read ‘I love my girlfriend Abbie and I hate all the girls in Ibiza.’
Jeremy Meeks first came into our consciousness back in 2014 when his hotter than hell mugshot did the rounds.
He’d been put away for illegal firearm possession but we all forgave him because, those cheekbones.
He served time in a California prison and was released under house arrest in March 2016, where he did a topless countdown to the end of his sentence.
The fashion industry went wild for him and he was snapped… Read the full story
With more than just ice cream melting in the sun it is important to stay cool during this spell of intense heat.
The UK government have issued a heatwave alert as warm air pushing up from France could see temperatures reach 34 degrees.
With people already sweating it out there are some things you can do to reduce the stress and discomfort that comes with scorching weather.
From simple to extreme solutions, these are the best ways to stay chilled to avoid melting in the heatwave currently… Read the full story
Hair loss at any age can be difficult to process.
Gradually you look less and less like the person you once knew; you might feel like 21 but your receding hairline tells another story.
However hard it can be for blokes though, it’s far worse for women.
Male baldness is distressing but at least it’s fairly common – and you don’t have much to lose in the first place.
For women, it’s our crowning glory, our defining feature.
If you’re anything like me, you like tattoos on other people but are too indecisive to get one yourself.
Now, I’ve been lusting after a dainty, but fairly large floral watercolour tattoo for over a year now, but I’m still not convinced it’s a wise lifelong investment.
It seems a bit Pinterest. Like, I may as well have the Pinterest logo tattooed on my forearm.
And Ed Sheeran’s tattoo artist has just convinced me to never get it.
For some people, Father’s day consists of buying your dad a beer before gifting him with some nice bits – usually chocolate, vouchers and more beer.
But others like to go all out – by waking their dad with breakfast, in order to go all out on making sure he’s treated like a king for the day.
However, some people’s breakfast treats didn’t go quite to plan this year – and many took to Twitter to showcase their disastrous morning meals.
How can you adopt a real sense of ‘La Dolce Vita’ in just two days?
I never thought it would be possible to see the heart and soul of a city in such a short period of time, but a weekend is all you need to enjoy some of the best of what Rome has to offer.
That is, so long as the weather is just right, and you have all the best tools, people and venues at your disposal.
Don’t panic, we’ve got you covered.
‘We’ll be having weather like this until at least August, maybe even September’, our hostel host told us as were leaving one day.
‘Weather like this,’ means glorious sunshine, blue skies and temperatures of touching under 30°C.
You can’t choose your family, but you can most definitely choose your friends.
The old saying that friends are like family is very true, because your closest friends are those that have been there for you through everything.
You never have to worry about their intentions, or doubt their advice, because they always have your best interests at heart.
They know you better than your own family, and they will always be completely honest with you.
Plus, they know all of your embarrassing moments, so letting… Read the full story
Ever heard of, or been in, an escape room?
No? You’re in for an exciting – yet highly frustrating – treat.
It’s an adventure game that involves you and a bunch of mates basically being locked in a room. In order to get out, you have to solve a series of puzzles and challenges to escape.
It sounds unbearably fun in itself but now, just to top it off, there’s one that’s Harry Potter themed.
A new Enigma Quest escape room promises you the full wizarding… Read the full story
A woman who spent 31 years of her life wondering who her father is has finally finally found him after taking a DNA test which revealed her ancestry history.
Chassity, who on Twitter goes by the name Auntie Chass, revealed all in a Twitter thread that has touched the hearts of thousands.
She begun by telling her followers that her search for her father took place over a period of seven days – and promised that the story would be good.
Summer officially starts on Wednesday but we’re already absolutely melting.
We can’t moan, obviously. It’s not often we actually get the chance to tan without flying off abroad somewhere.
But the hotter it’s getting the more time we want to spend on the beach, sunbathing in a bikini with a cocktail to hand.
Of course, it sounds dreamy – but a day on the beach can quickly become a little bit of a difficult situation for those that like to run on the sand into the sea, that is.
What’s a person to do when it’s gloriously sunny outside but all you have is moody, winter tracks on your phone?
You could go to the trouble of carefully curating a new playlist but, by the time you’ve done that, the clouds might have already pulled over.
Well, thanks to a new app, you can be spared the trouble altogether as it creates a playlist for you based on the weather.

Look, it’s perfectly okay if you’re still devastated by the loss of chunky triangles from the old, classic, pre-referendum Toblerone.
They’re not only smaller and lighter, but we’re also getting cheated out of the joy of snapping off triangles of chocolate, left only with flat bits of chocolate to soothe our pain.
It’s miserable, and we’ve deliberately avoided picking up our usual post-holiday giant Toblerones from the airport in protest.
Now, finally, there… Read the full story
It’s absolutely sweltering right now.
You’re drenched in sweat by the time you get to the tube – let alone the office.
There you sit, beads of moisture trickling down your shirt, wishing that you could take all your clothes off and stand in front of the communal kitchen fridge stark naked.
But while that might be socially unacceptable, you can legally walk out if the temperature in your office reaches above a certain point.
The Health and Safety Executive says that employers have to take into account six basic factors when… Read the full story
Straightener devotees get a lot of flack.
We’re told we’re wrecking our hair, that we’re not doing things ‘properly’, that we need to bloody well embrace our curls or learn how to do a proper blow dry.*
*Yes, a lot of these comments are just our own internal monologue, fretting over split ends and flattened hair, but still.
But is it actually worth learning to do a proper blow dry? Or are there minimal benefits to hitting the hairdryer instead of the flat iron?
We’re told that a blow dry is… Read the full story
The body positivity movement has been an amazing one.
It’s made women all over the world realise that they don’t have to be a specific dress size in order to feel beautiful or dress well. But the focus has, for the most part, been around women.
There just aren’t anywhere near as many male plus size bloggers. According to research by BadRhino.com, 42% of men would like to be bloggers, but 75% of them just don’t feel confident enough.
So we spoke to some of the men leading the way in the male plus size blogging world, and find out where they get their confidence from, and what they love about being… Read the full story
Many of us at this stage in the summer are panicking about how beach body ready we are.
All those plans for being carb and sugar-free in the run up to our holidays went out the window long ago, and here we are with just weeks before we’re due to be in a bikini, feeling distinctly un-body positive.
It’s not our fault we feel like this, even if we know we should be embracing our natural states of being. It’s been normalised to feel sh*t about the way we look.
But… Read the full story
