The Obamas are the cutest, classiest and most stylish couple on the planet.

They joke about. They are both insanely qualified. They’re obviously still deeply into each other even after 25 years of marriage.

It's time we stopped anthropomorphising animals

There are no better role models for having a happy family life.

Which is why one couple from Cleveland has decided to start their marital journey together by taking inspiration from the Obamas.

Cassi and Adam hired photographer Natasha Herbert to help recreate one particular photo of Michelle and Barack for their engagement photo.

She began studying for her doctorate at 78 years old, and it’s taken her eight years to complete her studies.

This is East Cairo-based fashion designer Dana Frid.

She’s been sharing her unique creations on Instagram for the past year and she loves nothing better than taking big luxury brands and giving them a slight update.

Couple bases their engagement photos on their favourite presidential pair

Dana first became interested in fashion after ‘accidentally’ stumbling upon Tumblr at 17, where she started following fashion blogs and artists.

For a year now, she’s been designing t-shirts, hoodies and trousers decorated with beautiful floral artwork, and wordplay on luxury labels – inspired by lyrics from the likes of Drake and Gucci Mane.

More controversial than keeping butter on the kitchen counter, eggs in the fridge, or putting marshmallows on hot dogs is this.

Look, we’re all obsessed with Love Island.

We can pretend it’s for reasons of feminist discourse and discussions of Camilla’s eyelashes, but let’s be real. We’re just hopelessly obsessed with watching attractive people flirting with each other in an attempt to fall in love and win money.

Love Island has slowly infiltrated every part of our lives – from our language (please help, I can’t stop calling people ‘muggy’) to our wardrobe choices.

Don’t worry, we won’t judge. A nude lipstick is a makeup collection must-have, plus no nude lipstick is the same and not all are created equal; different finish, undertone, longevity and colour payoff etc.

If you are currently not a fan of nude lipstick, don’t rule it out.

I’m incredibly lucky to work somewhere that’s mental health friendly.

Woman's side by side photos are a reminder not to worry about your clothing size

By that I mean somewhere that won’t sack me for admitting I frequently use their loos as a panic attack station, with bosses who’ll understand if I need time off, and who don’t pressure their staff to the point that they’re total wrecks working hours overtime because they’re scared of being told off.

Lots of people aren’t so lucky.

Not everyone has a boss that understands mental health, that appreciates the importance of it, and who’ll praise staff for taking time off for mental health related reasons rather than dismissing their issues.
