When you hear trends, you probably think about clothes, rather than wine.

But actually, booze follows trends just like anything else.

What it's like to live with compulsive skin picking disorder

Why else would we all have become obsessed with Prosecco a couple of years ago? Or spent all of this summer drinking Aperol Spritz?

Wine trends are what got Bridget Jones drinking Chardonnay in the 90’s, and got the rest of us drinking New Zealand Sauvingon Blanc like it was about to run out sometime around 2010.

And now there’s a new kid on the block. Hungarian wine.

Everyone tells you that having a baby will change your life.

When people say this to you before your child is born, you nod politely and smile, while thinking they’re idiots for allowing their lives to alter just because a tiny little being entered the fray.

You tell yourself you’re a bloody bloke and you’ll watch just as much Game Of Thrones and drink as much beer when that baby eventually comes along.

7 lost parenting skills that your own parents had nailed

And then when said baby does come along, you realise everyone was right and you were full of crap.

Picture the scene – you’re on the beach; it’s hot and it feels as though your face is about to melt off and get lost in thousands of grains of sand.

Why it's so important to speak freely about your invisible illness

You want your glistening body to carry on tanning, but you feel as though your face is about to crisp up, so you scrabble around for something – anything – to keep it covered.

Your T-shirt? Sure, but then it will get greasy with sunscreen. Magazine? Think of the… Read the full story

A chef has taken to Instagram to call out customers ‘who aren’t honest about what they can eat’ when ordering food at his restaurant.

Why it's so important to speak freely about your invisible illness

Patrick Friesen posted a photo of a number of receipts consisting of a number of allergy warnings.

While as a chef, he’s used to allergy warnings, he was getting rather annoyed at the fact that some customers had insisted they had a shellfish allergy but had gone on to order oyster sauce, while others said they were gluten-free despite only avoiding bread.

The caption to Patrick’s photo read: ‘Can… Read the full story

It looks like Hungarian wine is the next big wine trend

It’s no secret that posture can greatly affect the way you look in a photo.

Is skin gritting worth the faff?

Standing up straight as opposed to slouching can make your stomach appear flatter. Pulling your shoulders back can make your chest look bigger – and of course flexing your muscles can make you look stronger.

However, one blogger has taken to Instagram to show just how dramatically your stance can change the way you look.

PTSD, short for post-traumatic stress disorder, affects those who have been through traumatic experiences.

The condition is most commonly associated with shell-shocked soldiers, who have seen distressing things in combat, but can also affect those who have been abused, gone through domestic violence, experienced neglect as a child – and much more.

20 things you only know if you have PTSD

Symptoms include flashbacks, persistent fear, horror, anger, guilt or shame, emotional numbing (shutting off the ability to feel) and involuntary and vivid memories of the event.

Discussing PTSD with people can be tough – but it’s made even more difficult when such conversation is met with comments that make you regret bringing it up.

Here are 16 things that people with PTSD are tired of hearing.

1. ‘It’s in the past, just move on.’

We all know what it’s like to look at someone on TV and wish we had their body. 

Whether it’s perfectly toned arms or a perky as all hell bum, we’ve been trained since infancy to think that our bodies aren’t good enough, and to try and aspire to the kind of physique which takes hours a day and tonnes of money to achieve.

This weekend millions of us will do the upstanding British thing and drink until we’re pricks.

At the pub – Britain’s hallowed, sticky-carpeted crucible – we all express our quintessential anglo-saxon traits.

Low-key alcoholism. Mediocre flirting. Thrilling at the likely prospect of a bloody punch-up.

But even as we do, let’s take a moment to celebrate our proud nation’s versatile bellend community.

Including – but certainly not limited to…

In 2015, a friend of photographer Ivar Wigan’s was killed in a gang-related attack in Jamaica.

The family of Kem McLeod asked him to come to the funeral and take photographs – which then kickstarted his work Young Love.

It looks like Hungarian wine is the next big wine trend

‘The family asked me to come out to shoot the funeral and raise awareness of the gang killings affecting their community,’ Ivar told ‪Metro.co.uk‬.

Ivar Wigan has a strong connection to the country.

His family have history there and he has been taking photographs while visiting for more than 10 years.

While looking at his work it is clear that he captures exceptional beauty of the nation he which he clearly has such fond love for.

But the Scottish-born Londoner’s passion for Jamaica has not always been rosy.

WARNING: Some photos contain nudity. Discretion is advised.

When you’re a parent, you think everything your kid makes is amazing.

At least, you do until your child brings home a true monstrosity. Which is exactly what happened to Reddit user Bubsing.

People are angry about the size of these Boohoo 'plus-size' models

Bubsing posted the following photo of something that his child made at school.

This has probably traumatised you, and it truly is the worst thing that any child has ever created with paper.

We’re a bit worried that Bubsing’s child might need to see some kind of therapist.

‘My kid created what I thought was an angry-rage-boner-poop-fly-guy,’ Bubsing wrote.

To send nude photos to someone else, you have to trust them.

People are angry about the size of these Boohoo 'plus-size' models

By sending a nude, you are trusting them to have a picture of you at your most vulnerable and you don’t expect that photo to be seen by anyone else.

Sadly, it turns out we can’t always trust the people we thought we could, revenge porn becomes a ‘thing’ – where people think it’s somehow okay to share intimate photos of their ex-partners in hopes of destroying their reputation.
