They wrote: ‘Really Asda? @AsdaServiceTeam @Georgeatasda Two major things wrong with this T-shirt.

This woman never washes her hair – here’s how you can go ‘no poo’ too
Emma Thomson, 28, from Shepperton, Surrey, was tired of having ‘limp and lifeless’ hair.
When she read about the ‘no poo method’ online, that’s when she decided to take action.
Emma, who works in a gym as a fitness and wellbeing adviser and is also a former part-time bodybuilder, says:
‘My hair was lank and somehow managed to be both dry and greasy at the same time.
I was sick of trying to make it feel thick. I know this is drastic, but I wanted to give the ‘no poo method’ a go and I’m so glad I did – I’ve never been happier with my hair.’

Model busts open the myth that plus-size people don’t exercise
Jessica Vander Leahy is a Sydney-born model who has been smashing fashion industry barriers for a decade.
And she, like a lot of curvy people, works out.
While Jessica’s a massive advocate for self-love and body positivity, even she admits that she doesn’t embrace her body every day.
‘Social media has been a great way to connect with people over the years and I often get people—mostly women— asking me how I love myself sick every day. But the truth is I don’t always,’ she tells Pedestrian TV.
She says that we all have moments of self-doubt and creeping insecurities. For women, those usually play out as… Read the full story

Food is a class issue, and we need to address it as such
Whether it’s veganism, going gluten free, or eating clean, a whole load of people these days have specialist dietary requirements.
That’s fine and everyone should be free to eat what they want. However, a huge number of people in these foodie tribes are evangelical about their chosen way of eating.
Even simply healthy eating is forced down our throats, with food given good and bad labels rather than treated as what it is – sustenance.

I trained with a big wave surfer to see if it would improve my confidence in the water
I first learned to surf a few years ago when I quit my job and flew to India to work in the café of a surf and yoga retreat.
(Yes, hello, hi, I’m a cliché.)
I was supposed to get paid in surf and yoga lessons, but we didn’t get that many proper surf lessons as guests always had to come first, so we were often left to our own devices in the water, and I’ve been a bit of an unsure surfer ever since.
Armed with the very basics, I’ve been fannying around in the water ever since, trying to get better at reading the waves and knowing where to position myself, but the main thing I’ve realised is – you need to be really fit. And have confidence.
It’s not enough to be running fit or cycling fit – you need strong arms and well-oiled shoulders for paddling (something I suck at), as well as good cardiovascular fitness, and you need to… Read the full story

People respond to rude comments about their skin conditions through powerful photo series
Peter Devito is on a mission to get people to truly embrace the skin they’re in.
He started with a photo series focusing on acne, photographing those with bumps and spots labeled with the word ‘retouch’ where photos would usually be edited to remove any sign of imperfection.
Now he’s turning his attention to skin conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia, and albinism.
For his new photo series, Peter recruited people with skin conditions and asked them to pose with their skin on show – along with a rude comment they’d received printed and stuck to their face.

Can sliding into the DMs ever lead to a relationship? These sliders insist it can
Sliding into the DMs has a bad rep. Probably because a lot of DM sliders are massive creeps.
But can DM sliding ever lead to an actual relationship?
After all, most of us bear more resemblance to our real selves on social media than when we’re trying to put out best foot forward on dating sites. So, if you like the look of someone’s social media profile, maybe sliding into their DMs isn’t such a bad idea.
We spoke to people who met their partners this way to find out how it worked out for them.

Pre-marathon sex is not going to damage your performance
We’ve all heard the stories about sportspeople being kept in separate hotels the night before a big game in order to stop them from having sex.
(At this point more world-weary person would point out that given the relaxed attitude towards monogamy that lots of famous sportspeople demonstrate, this might not be a very smart idea.)
Which might be the reason for the myth that having sex the night before a big game or a big race could damage your performance.
There’s also the low but still real risk of sustaining a sexual injury.
