Can we just take a moment to appreciate pasta?

A bowl piled high with fresh spaghetti and sauce may be one of the purest joys on earth. Pasta is comforting. It’s sensual. It’s been there for us through the lowest points and our happiest highs.

There's a secret cabin hidden inside this rooftop air vent

And now, finally, there’s a place where we can go to fully celebrate pasta and all its delights – and we’re not talking about reading on a pasta pilgrimage around Italy (as dreamy as that would be).

Writing about race as a white person is rocky territory. 

Can your voice really contribute anything to the discussion? Are you really the right person to make this statement?

This house hasn't changed since the 90s and it looks like all your childhood TV memories

In this case, I hope that the answer is yes. Because what we need to have right now is a frank conversation, as white people, about racism. More specifically the fact that yes, you are racist.

L’Oreal model Munroe Bergdorf found herself the target of abuse after she commented that ‘all white people are racist’. Of course the nuances… Read the full story

Have you heard the news? The MILF is no longer. Instead, everyone’s fancying the pants off WHIPs.

A WHIP is a catchy new term coined by writer, broadcaster, and metro.co.uk blogger Bibi Lynch, who suggested it on This Morning as an alternative way to talk about hot women who are older than the people they date.

WHIP stands for a ‘woman who is hot, intelligent, and in her prime’. Nice, right?

Today marks the start of Autumn.

It’s a time when we bid a sad farewell to summer but also when nature is at its greatest with trees turning a stunning shade of reds and oranges and birds beginning their migration patterns.

It is also a time to put away the bikinis and shorts and pull out the chunky knits in preparation for another chilly winter.

Boohoo has recently come under fire for using ‘not exactly plus-size’ girls to model their plus-size range, while also launching a supposedly inclusive #AllGirls campaign which didn’t feature a single larger lady.

Every basic healthy b*tch *(hi, it me) has been carefully assembling lines of chia seeds on her breakfast since the dawn of Instagram.

And you’ve been letting your local organic cafe overcharge you for their smoothie bowl creations because, goddammit, they’re just so beautiful.

While we thought we were over this trend, we stumbled upon these colourful bad boys and realised we are so not done.

With all the focus on the general region of the butt recently – from our squat obsession to casual chats about rimming and pegging – it’d be reasonable to assume that everyone’s at anal sex.

Sitting at home sipping prosecco and pretending that makes you a fancy lady is an absolute delight.

But you know what’s not a delight?

Having to lean forwards, lift up the bottle, and top up your glass each time you chug down 200ml.

Ugh, so much effort.

The easiest option would be pouring it in a Sports Direct mug or just drinking it straight from the bottle, but that would ruin the whole ‘I’m a posh person drinking prosecco instead of downing Aldi cider’ thing.

Is it ever okay to ask a man his height on a dating app?

0

A few weeks ago I matched with a guy on Bumble.

The Tube has been turned into a forest for Organic September

He was good-looking, had good chat and was a bit older, which is something I’m dabbling in after mostly dating younger guys.

But he looked kinda…small.

I’m 5’9, which isn’t crazy tall but I’ve often found myself towering over men and I don’t like it (more on that later.)

We’d already agreed to meet up, but I really wanted to know how tall he was to know what shoes to wear.

Now, I don’t wear heels, but I live in chunky ankle boots which often have a two inch flatform – and these two inches could well push me into ‘taller than him’ category.

I was on the brink of asking him when I noticed he’d updated his profile to include his height – 5’10. I assumed this actually meant 5’8, as… Read the full story

Up there with life’s great existential quandaries like ‘what came first, the chicken or the egg’ is the most pressing question a woman can ask herself: ‘is my vagina normal?’

The answer is a resounding yes.

15 things you can only relate to if you have a vagina

But also no, because there’s no such thing as a ‘normal’ vagina, a term often and incorrectly used to refer to the vulva – the outer genitalia comprised of the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, the clitoris and the vaginal opening.

Don’t stress. The latest brow trend isn’t dependent on having a thick, luscious forest of hairs sitting atop your lids.

Instead, it’s all about crafting your own brows out of foil. Or plastic. Or anything else shiny and usually used to store leftovers in the fridge.
