If you’ve grown weary of McDonald’s rather basic offerings, then listen up.
Because they’ve decided to challenge the growing range of gourmet burger chains by growing their own range of posh burgers.
That’s right, you’ll soon be able to get fancy £5 buns right across the country.
So, what exactly is on the menu?
The ‘Signature Collection’, already available at a few franchises, consists of three special burgers:
Being related to a global fitness guru must be trying at times.
Sure, you might get the odd freebie thrown your way but you also have to deal with being constantly compared to your ripped sibling.
But Leah Itsines – sister of gym megastar Kayla – isn’t too bothered by it.
The food blogger and cook says that she gets compared to her sister all the time.
In a recent Instagram post, she says that a fan recently asked if she ever found it difficult having a different body type to Kayla.
Remember those heady days of childhood birthday parties where you’d eat loads of cake and then bounce yourself sick on the bouncy castle?
There was one little thing wrong with the castles of old though – they were just a bit too small.
If you weren’t grumbling over the ‘one in one out’ queue system your best friend’s mum had enforced, you were were smashing heads with your class mates and pretending to be really chill about the painful lump that had started to form on the… Read the full story

Most parents will know that while birthing plans are great, they rarely go to plan.
Labour isn’t predictable. Things change. Emergencies happen.
That was the case for 31-year-old birth photographer, Katie Gaeta. She planned to give birth at the hospital, but ended up welcoming a daughter in the parking lot of an Old Navy store.
The birth of her third child started as normal – she was woken up on Wednesday 19 July at 4.50am by Braxton Hicks contractions, and quickly contacted her… Read the full story
We all love a little bit of Disney – especially since the likes of Primark and Debenhams have been jumping on the Beauty and the Beast hype.
But it seems nobody loves Disney quite as much as 21-year-old Emily Simpson, who has spent an impressive £15,000 on her Disney addiction in just three years.
Emily, who’s from Surrey, first fell in love with the magic of Disney as a toddler, and spent her childhood watching films such as Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland.
As she’s grown… Read the full story
New research has revealed that 35% of women cautioned on their appearance have been described as a ‘distraction to male colleagues’.
The study also revealed that 25% of women had been cautioned about their appearance full stop.
Most of the complaints (46%) were about makeup.
Some of the 2,000 women surveyed were also cautioned for skirt length (35%), for wearing ‘revealing’ clothing (30%), for wearing slogan t-shirts (18%) and ‘outfit flamboyance’ (15%).
In contrast, only 9% of men had been cautioned for the way that they looked.
When it comes to afternoon teas, the set up is pretty traditional for 90% of your options.
You get the savoury (finger sandwiches), the scones, the sweets (ah those dainty pastries) and some tea.
Sometimes, when you’re feeling flush, you get a glass of bubbles to make the whole event feel like a real occasion.
You expect there to be seasonal variations, like Easter-themed teas, but mostly, you just want your old comforts.
That said, if… Read the full story
Fashion bloggers of Instagram usually recruit their long-suffering Instagram husbands to take their plethora of pics, but not Julie Alpine.
She runs the She Wears The Trousers Instagram account and has all her photos taken by her seven-year-old son, Milo – too cute.
The mum-of-two uses the account to post pics of her many vintage fashion finds, and bribes her son to be her personal photographer.
All photos are taken on Julie’s iPhone 6, but she recently invested in a… Read the full story
As we get older, we tend to get a little classier with our alcohol choices.
Vodka and cokes turn to dry Martinis, fruit ciders turn to wine and few people can resist a gin and tonic – complete with ice and lime, of course.
But everyone knows that Prosecco is pretty much the epitome of fanciness.
And it’s now something you can incorporate into your dinner party – and we’re talking more than just a glass or two at the table.
Everyone knows that besides McDonald’s, a good old ‘cheeky Nando’s’ is the ultimate hangover cure.
Whether you like it hot or tame, the beauty of Nando’s is that you can have your meal any way you want it – and now, you can have it a number of ways at home, as supermarkets are introducing a new selection of PERinaise condiments to their shelves.
Sure, nothing’s as good as the real thing. But it’s always good to have the makings of a Nando’s when you can’t be bothered to leave your bed after a… Read the full story
Let’s be honest: none of us really want to be described as ‘neurotic’, do we?
Psychologists consider people with high levels of neuroticism more likely to worry, fret and ruminate on negative experiences, and say that they can often display a ‘negative temperament’.
Not ideal, really.
But it turns out that the more highly-strung of us may have one advantage over our sunnier, anxiety-free peers: we may actually live longer.
The new research, from the University of Edinburgh, examined rates of mortality and rates of neuroticism in over 321,456 people registered with the UK Biobank.
Questionnaires measuring personality traits including neuroticism were given to participants, as well… Read the full story
Let’s be real – summer got off to a good start here in the UK, but it seems to have reverted back to its wet and windy best.
Which is why we’re pretty excited by Backyard Cinema’s latest concept – a Miami Beach themed indoor cinema.
The pop-up cinema has opened in London and is showing a whole host of movies over the coming weeks, including romantic films, comedies and childhood classics.
All in a South Beach themed venue.
America has one-upped us in the beverage department, fellow Brits, as Starbucks US has released a new iced tea – and it’s piña colada-inspired.
Yep, the coffee chain just released a Piña Colada Tea Infusion, which according to Starbucks is a ‘creamy and tropical beverage crafted with Teavana black tea, pineapple fruit and botanical blend, and coconut milk.’
Oh, and it’s only got 60 calories in it – so it’s a totally guilt-free drink.
It’s got everything a Piña Colada has to offer – except the actual alcohol, of course.
Look, doing a poo with anyone nearby is uncomfortable.
We all deserve private bathrooms where we can push excrement out of our bowels in peace, freely grunting, plopping, and scrolling through Twitter as we please.
But most of us spend the bulk of our days at work, in places with bathrooms we have to share with other people. That adds a whole new level of weirdness.
A recent study from V.I.Poo found that more than half of women, and 29% of men, are uncomfortable taking a dump at work.
The sheer panic when you hear someone lock the cubicle door next to yours.
A mother has shown her disgust on Facebook after her daughter was refused use of a shop’s toilet, despite having proof that she suffered from IBD.
Emma Bryant left a post on the White Stuff’s Facebook page on Sunday after a staff member at their Southampton West Quay store refused to allow her 13-year-old daughter access to their toilet.
Her daughter suffers from ulcerative colitis, which Hattie Gladwell has written extensively about, and is a condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed.

So it turns out Disney is home to a secret food challenge – and while it’s not filled with magic, it’s definitely impressive.
According to Disney Food Blog, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, a restaurant in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Florida which serves Mexican food, has launched the Nachos Rio Challenge – a secret challenge in which is so large it serves 6-8 people.
The challenge will set you back $90 (£69), but it’s totally worth it, as the dish is absolutely enormous.
The Nachos Rio Challenge features two bags’ worth of nachos,… Read the full story
An outraged mother has taken to Twitter to share photos of kids’ clothing she found in Morrisons that she deemed to be totally unacceptable.
Shelley Roche-Jacques was shopping in Morrisons in search of holiday clothes for her children. Looking through the clothes, she came across two children’s T-shirts – one for a boy and another for a girl.
The boy’s shirt read: ‘This little man, big ideas’, while ‘Little Girl, big smiles’ was written across the other.
Shelley snapped a picture of both and promptly uploaded them to her social media… Read the full story
Running around wearing a tie dye t-shirt, rocking a cap backwards and using a bandana as a fashion accessory were all indicators that you were living the life of a style icon in the 90s.
90s fashion was probably the trendiest decade in modern history. It was a time filled with practical yet stylish bum bags, an acceptance of double denim and an appreciation of plastic footwear. Bonus points if your mum let you get the jelly sandals with the big heel.
Here are some styles that all 90s kids definitely rocked during the… Read the full story
