This morning? Yesterday? A few days ago?

If you’re in the latter category then you may well be suffering from a little thing called backed up bowels, or as the medical professionals like to call it – constipation.

A recent survey by the American Gastroenterological Association revealed that 16% of Americans (and a whopping third of those aged over 60) suffer from chronic constipation, which is classed as passing less than three bowel movements a week.

Beatriz Pugliese hasn’t always been confident in her body.

The 22-year-old was born with giant congenital melanocytic nevus, a skin condition that leaves her more than 80% of her skin covered in dark patches and spots.

Pet owners in China are giving their furry friends acupuncture

When Beatriz was born with the condition, her birthmark was so large that doctors weren’t sure how to treat her.

She was referred to the Hospital das Clinicas, where, throughout the years, she underwent more than 30 surgeries to remove some of her darker patches.

Beatriz had her first surgery at just six months old.

Should we worried about our vaginas getting ‘depression’?

Last week various news sources told us that vagina depression was a thing. 

You might remember vaginal depression from an episode of Sex and the City where Charlotte admits that she’s never looked at her own vagina in a mirror.

Woman shares how she's learned to love her birthmark after bullies called her a 'monkey'

But far from being just a story line in a TV show, vaginal depression, or to give it a more technical (and scary) term, vaginal atrophy, is something that can actually happen.

Most women are pretty fond of their bits and the idea of them getting depression is a bit worrying. So we spoke to Nick Panay, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology about whether we can really suffer health complications if we don’t have enough sex.

So, what actually is vaginal depression or atrophy?

It’s almost September, which we all know means school shoes.

Or rather, having a screaming row with your mum in your local Clarks because she doesn’t understand you, or how important this is, and she wants you to be a massive loser who has no friends because she’s jealous of you for being young.

Also these are all shoes for girls because I went to all girl school and am a girl.

My love of Taylor Swift has been well documented so I won’t waste valuable words telling you about how she’s the best thing ever to happen to humanity. 

Instead, I shall explain what we can all learn from her, or rather her masterful adoption of the snake motif.

Aloe App is a new self-care app that will totally change your life

A snake, according to the dictionary, is a reptile. But according to Urban Dictionary, a far more important source, it’s also a ‘scamming backstabber. Someone who does something just to get something out of it.’

Urban Dictionary goes on to further define the term snake thus:

We all know somebody who is a doubletalker, a gossip and a generally untrustworthy person. They are cruel to their enemies and even meaner to their friends – only with the friends the mean streak only comes out when their backs… Read the full story

‘I’m not at all comfortable,’ they say. ‘Please stop trying to use parts of my body as cushioning for your head.’

So alas, we struggle. We rest our heads on plain old pillows, dreaming of butts and their comforting embrace.

Good news gals, we’ve (apparently) got more stamina than blokes. 

According to a new study recently published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, while men are often physically stronger than women, women might well have more stamina than men. Which probably won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who has seen a woman go through labour.

Now, to be fair, it’s a very small study so we can’t speak in absolutes, but it’s certainly an interesting piece of research.

Can revenge ever make you happy?

Taylor Swift is out for revenge.

On Kanye, on Kim, on Katy.

How will she enact her revenge? Through reclaiming the snake, making subtle mentions of Kanye’s titled stage, and declaring she doesn’t like people. But also that the old Taylor is DEAD.

That’ll show ’em.

Cafe introduces 'Guy Tea' for men whose masculinity is too fragile for macarons

Perhaps her revenge will go up a few scales in the month ahead. Perhaps Taylor will sneak salt in Kanye’s coffee, or swap Katy’s shampoo with hair removal. You know, all the classic revenge stuff.
