I don’t do caffeine.

What your favourite sex position says about you

Not because my body is a temple – dins last night was crisps dipped in hummus and chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and chocolate shards.

And not because I believe in the aesthetic benefits of cutting the caff; my skin is still muggy and my thighs so bumpy they’re like a Braille War and Peace.

No, I don’t drink caffeine because I don’t want to give away my personality every time I order a coffee.

That’s right, you mugs – your favoured beverage de cafe reveals what’s in your soul.

There was a time when all people counted were calories.

It was a stressful but more simple time when you could simply look a label and decide that you’d forgo a Double Decker bar’s 250 calories in favour of a 218 calorie Kit Kat.

But these days, you can’t move for mentions of macros.

Every fitness blogger and PT seems to be talking about counting them and what percentages to aim for in order to achieve your ultimate #bodygoals.

If you love Brighton, and you’re a fan of cheese, you should most definitely make sure you free up 3rd March 2018 to head over to a cheese festival that sounds absolutely brielliant.

An idiot's guide to counting macros: what are they and how to use them effectively

Brighton Racecourse is hosting a cheese festival that will feature a ‘plethora of the finest international cheesemakers and mongers showcasing their amazing cheese’.

The Big Cheese Festival will consist of a huge food court where attendees will be able to sample a selection of cheesy delicacies, including halloumi fries, mozzarella sticks, raclette… Read the full story

I’ll admit, after the experience of covering my face in a smoothie left me with a breakout over the entirety of my cheeks and chin (the spots still haven’t budged. Thanks, past me), I’ve been a little less than enthusiastic about getting back on the Is It Worth The Faff? horse.

While university is most definitely there to help give you enough of a push into your dream career (and to financially ruin you in the process), everyone knows it’s also there for constant partying and making new friends.

Why is it that the more you work out, the worse you feel about the way you look?

Which means that often, where you’re actually living while at uni isn’t that much of a big deal – especially as your room is basically only there to give you a place to stay after a heavy student night out or to keep… Read the full story

Hear that? It’s the sound of paper shuffling over at the HR desk: Someone’s about to get canned for sexual harassment.

The internet was so, so quick to push the red button when a girl posted a photo of the zucchini her boss had dumped on her desk.

She wrote on Twitter: ‘My boss gave me a zucchini… like just plopped this shit on my desk and winked. What….’

People were all like ‘naw, that’s not cool’.

Raw cakes are having a moment right now.

There they sit in the fridges of Selfridges, Harrods, Whole Foods, gleaming in their dinky little boxes, promising delicious wellness to all.

Are raw cakes actually any better for you than normal cakes?

They look spectacular. And they come with a hefty price.

I bought a lovely looking little square of pistachio raw cake the other day on the assumption that as it was dairy-free, gluten-free and refined sugar-free, it would be a slightly less calorific treat.

By the time I got home two hours later, however, I found a pastel green puddle in the box where once the cake had been.

A puddle that cost me £5.

A quick scan of the nutritional contents, as I sat scraping up with a spoon what I could salvage, told me that this ‘healthy’ option was actually quite punchy.

Get down to WHSmith and pick up some new pens because a gin school is launching.

Is getting lash extensions worth the faff?

Fever-Tree (of premium mixer brand fame) are starting their own Gin School because they are, in their own word, ‘gin experts’.

They say it will be an ‘immersive tasting, crafting and distilling experience unlike any other’.

Lucky for you thisty souls, the hour-long class is less about taking notes and more about tasting notes.

Which basically means you’ll be sipping on loads of gin and wahoo, ain’t that a treat?

It must be quite a lot of pressure, running the social media for a company. 

One little slip of the finger, and you can end up with thousands of people laughing at your gaff.

Are raw cakes actually any better for you than normal cakes?

Which is exactly what happened when Lidl Ireland attached the wrong caption to a picture and unwittingly described some quite skimpy knickers as men’s work trousers.

Oh dear.

The knickers come in either black or nude, and while the look perfectly nice, we’re pretty sure that they’re not actually designed to be worn to work. Unless your work takes place in a basement… Read the full story

Brighton has it all. The beach, the lanes, the Royal Pavilion and of course, tons of gluten-free food.

11 London-based gluten-free Instagrammers you need to follow

Brighton is a place that welcomes people from all walks of life and when it comes to food, that’s no exception either.

Of course, the town is notoriously accommodating for vegans, but did you know that there’s endless gluten-free options too?

I’ve tried my best to narrow this down to 10 of the best places for gluten-free food in Brighton and Hove.

Depression doesn’t care who it targets. Old or young, rich or poor, it’ll take anyone and consume them as much as it can. 

And people deal with depression in different ways. While some are able to get out of the house and enjoy a social life, others sleep for days, isolating themselves away from the world.

Just recently, a hairdresser named Kayley Olsson, from Iowa, met a young girl, who has been left unnamed, who had been faced with the latter.

A 16-year-old girl had come to Kayley’s workplace in hopes she could fix her hair for her. The girl had been dealing with severe depression for years, and had got… Read the full story

Job adverts are a funny old thing that employers seem to struggle to get right.

Grab your pals because a gin school is coming to London

Some patronise the very people they’re trying to recruit, thereby making the recruiters sound like absolute w*nkers.

Then there are those which are downright sexist, specifying how attractive you need to be to work there.

And then you’ve got the small percentage of employers who are perhaps a little too honest with what the job entails.
