If you travel a lot and struggle to find the time and the place to work out then we may may have a solution for you.

Personal trainer Maurizio Tangari has shown us some very cool unconventional ways to work out using a small, hand luggage-sized suitcase filled to act as weights.

6 things that happen to your body if you don’t exercise

I used a 20kg weight, but you can make it heavier or lighter, depending on your ability.

Then work through these 7 resistance exercises. Once you’ve got these down you can add in more.

Since Leonardo DiCaprio finally won a (well deserved) Oscar, the internet has been going pretty nuts. 

I mean, he’s missed out time and time again, and so his win came with a great big sigh of relief, probably from him, certainly from most of the internet.

But with his previous losses bringing the odds of his winning being brought lower, one woman decided to make a bet on Twitter.

The bet, however, didn’t involve money. Nope. Quite the opposite, actually. Marriage.

A woman tweeted to her followers that if Leo went… Read the full story

Anna Lewis is an illustrator and mum-of-one from Cornwall.

During her pregnancy she turned to art to distract her from the waiting game – and later decided to turn the results into a project.

Inspired by her own journey, she documented the pregnancy, labour and post-birth stages in a series of quirky illustrations.

She has now set up her own Facebook page, under her artist name Sketchy Muma, where she shares her lovely little drawings with other mothers and mums-to-be – and they absolutely love her work.

Here she is, dreaming of a pain-free labour

First things first: cats are awesome. 

There’s no two ways about it, I don’t want to hear it.

It’s impossible not to love them. They’re just great. But as well as they being cute and fluffy, they’re also Grade A arseholes.

Because, with them being so self-sufficient, they’re also very selfish. And I’m pretty sure that they often thrive off of winding you up.

Well, this cat does anyway. Burnie Burns, founder of Rooster Teeth, posted a video of his cat to Twitter. In the video, his cat can be seen meowing at the door.

Fair enough, perhaps he wants to come in. Or perhaps he just wants to be annoy his owner. Who knows?

What we do know is that the video contains strong language:

Let’s enjoy the slightly awkward moment a man found out he was going to be a dad on a flight back from Vegas.

We should say, it was his wife Lisa Sadiwnyk, who was with him on the flight, who arranged for the pilot to make the announcement, so it was definitely good news.

But, Eric was left stunned for a few seconds after the pilot made an unscheduled announcement during the American Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Philadelphia.

‘I had a note handed to me and I’m going to read it verbatim,’ the pilot announces at the start of the clip which Lisa shared on Read the full story

The bad news: you’re about to have your happy sandwich memories ruined.

The good news, though? What lies ahead is pure, sandwich-y happiness. No more lies. No more disappointment. No more 11 inch sandwiches.

In case you missed it, Subway’s been involved in a major lawsuit over the last year or so, concerning the length of their sandwiches.

Why? Because their footlong sandwiches weren’t always a foot long.

We KNOW. It’s shocking. No longer can you happily reminisce about that time you enjoyed a footlong BMT in the park.… Read the full story

We’ve all seen it: perfectly filtered photos of smashed avocado on toast or those pepper sprinkled poached eggs that are most likely cold by the time the people hoping to eat them are finished taking the perfect photo for Instagram. 

And yes, those of us who do opt for a quick bowl of cereal or at best a slice of buttered toast before heading off to work do tend to get a little annoyed.

A little at the fact that these people actually have time to make these beautiful breakfasts – but mainly because WE DON’T WANT TO SEE YOUR AVOCADO.

And one family, who have all seen many a breakfast snap, attempted it themselves. But as a family of four, it wasn’t going to be the easiest task – especially with two young kids who would probably prefer a bowl of Coco Pops over something fancy.

Gimo the cat is very concerned.

He’s worried you may not be making the wisest choices. He’s troubled by your recklessness. He doesn’t trust that you’ve considered the consequences of your actions.

But Gimo is just a little cat. There is nothing he can do to help you.

So instead Gimo just looks into your soul, with his massive, concerned eyes, and silently asks you if you’re sure whatever you’re about to do is the right decision.

‘You’ll definitely wake up in ten minutes? Hitting the snooze button for the tenth time is okay?’

If you thought you were a major fan of that ‘Damn Daniel‘ video, then think again. 

Because one guy has got himself a permanent reminder of that sarcastically-voiced kid mocking his friend in his white Vans over and over again – by actually inking them on his body.

Yep, the man – whose name is also Daniel – decided to get get just one white Van tattooed onto him, with the video’s catchphrase sat below.

Well, it’s a great way to remember his name, we guess, but we’re not sure anyone else will remember the actual video too clearly in years to come. Unless it turns into one of those internet… Read the full story

Okay, we all know cats are brilliant. 

They don’t need to be walked, they clean themselves and the way they like to go to the toilet in private even though their bits are always on show. They make no sense.

But, not one cat has confused us as much as this little guy. Who feels the need to raise his paws at every given opportunity.

We can guarantee you won’t be able to sit through these photos without even chuckling just a little bit.

A woman is attempting to change the perception of public breastfeeding by posting a snap of her and her baby ‘having a drink’ together on Instagram. 

21-year-old Haddas Ancliffe is a young mum and Instagrammer, on which she has over 8,000 followers.

She often posts photos and videos of herself and her son to her public account – and her followers go crazy for the the cuteness overload her child brings.

But this time, however, people were torn over her post, sharing a snap of her breastfeeding.

The picture, in which both Haddas and her son were dressed up beautifully for a wedding, was accompanied by the hashtag #normalizebreastfeeing and a caption which part-read: ‘Gotta do what you gotta do, wedding or not.

And while we think the picture was a great way to raise awareness of the stigma some women… Read the full story

Usually when we are handed a load of chocolate, we don’t think of the atmosphere or ambiance surrounding us as we mash it haphazardly into our mouths, sometimes without even having time to take the wrapper off. 

But we are missing out on the true pleasure that munching on the good stuff can illicit.

According to Cadbury (they are a leading confectionery brand, don’t you know?), who have conducted a study with Mindlab, what we are listening to can change how we taste the different varieties of chocolate they offer.

Sometimes, you open your mouth and your mum’s voice comes out.

It’s inevitable – we all turn into our mothers eventually.

And, according to a Mother’s Day study by Interflora ahead of the big day this weekend (March 6, don’t forget), that generally happens around the age of 27.

Interflora talked to 1,500 sons and daughters about their relationship they have with their mums, looking at the (generally positive) influence they have on our lives.

Over half of us (53 per cent) believe we are already turning into our mothers, although 34 per cent of those see it as a positive thing.

And, according to those questioned, these are the telltale signs:

I’m not talking huge expensive gestures, just a few small things to show us that what we strive to do every day is being noticed – and that’s making our families happy.

So if you’re stuck for ideas this Mother’s Day, here are 8 things that will really show your mum how much she means to you.

1. First and foremost, remember Mother’s Day!

We love pizza. We love sleep. If we could eat pizza while sleeping, our hearts and stomachs would be whole and happy.

But sadly, we cannot. Because it’s a choking risk.

So instead we turn to other means to fulfill our pizza dreams. We seriously considered buying a duvet decorated to look like a pizza.

We leave out a box of pizza overnight so we can look forward to cold breakfast pizza in the morning.

Each night before we sleep, we count slices of pizza to help us drift off.

And now, we can buy the pizza nightlight.… Read the full story

McDonald’s are really going hard on this whole ‘no, really, we’re fancy thing’.

First they announced table service and a snazzy new gourmet menu. We were startled. We didn’t know how to deal with the changes. But we slowly accepted it.

THEN they launched the Camembert burger, sadly not called the McCamemberger. It was too much. We were confused and hungry.

And now, they’ve reached new heights of fanciness.

It’s official. McDonald’s have reached peak fanciness: McDonald’s is now doing macarons.

We like her style.

Thirty-two-year-old Aussie TV presenter Edwina Bartholomew raised eyebrows on social media after she posted pictures from her stint on the Oscars red carpet for the Sunrise breakfast show.

The image of her ice-blue Rachel Gilbert Oscars dress, which had ‘a silk gazar sculptured detail’ just below the waist instantly got people talking.

‘Nice but why is there a uterus on your dress?’ one person wrote on her Instagram page. Another added: ‘Lose the Vajayjay and it would have been perfect.’

This Facebook fan didn’t care either way: ‘Beautiful, don’t worry about #vaginadress, you look bloody gorgeous’.

After ‘the vagina dress’ trended at… Read the full story
