Charisha says that she tried to go for a meal at the Buzz Inn Steakhouse in Seattle with her family, wearing a long skirt and crop (as shown in the picture above).

However, when she arrived at the eatery, she says she was refused entry on the grounds that she’d violated their ‘no shoes, no shirt, no service’ policy – despite actually wearing a… Read the full story

We all love a good soap.

What the actual fu…?

But you’re not alone, because a third of Brits are apparently still active on dating apps when they’re in relationships.

I’m sure you don’t need us to spell it out to you, but people come in many different colours.

The plethora of shades explains why so many women (like myself) struggle to find the right colour foundation.

All of us Peaky Blinders fans are so excited at the thought of seeing Cillian Murphy back on our screens, especially as it’s expected to happen before the end of this year.

But it seems nobody’s quite as excited as one man, who’s actually opened a Peaky Blinders-inspired bar in Devon.

37-year-old Jamie Somerset is hoping to open the doors to his new Peaky Blinders Bar and Grill, in Paignton, Devon, on 16 September, to give customers a real feel of what it’s like to be a Peaky Blinder.

While some are all for the wavy look, others can’t quite understand why there’s any need for it.

In case you’ve been living under a rock these past couple of months, the squiggle trend first started with brows that had been shaped to look like miniature waves ready to be surfed on.

The look is perfected by using washable PVA Glue to flatten the eyebrow hair in one direction before using concealer, setting and pressed powders to hide… Read the full story

Not all break ups are acrimonious maelstroms of fury and F-bombs.

Sometimes, relationships end and you both know it’s right – the hard work, time and tears couldn’t fix it and you both have to walk away.

15 signs you’re no longer in love (and it’s probably time to move on)

These sorts of endings make it hard to know where to pitch your emotions: you know it’s for best, so why are you laughing one moment and crying in your pyjamas, spooning Nutella from the jar, the next?

If you’d like to feel less intelligent, I would strongly suggest trying to help out with a child’s homework.

‘How hard could it be?’ you cheerfully ask yourself as you settle down. ‘I’m a functioning adult who keeps themself alive on a day to day basis and has an actual job. Surely I could manage some year 5 homework?’

Good luck to you. Fractions, long division, grammar: it’s hard. Really, really hard.
