The National Trust has come under fire after one of its members noticed a sexist hat in one of their gift shops.

Everything you need to know about this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Twitter user Laura Goss noticed the pink bucket hats on her visit to National Trust site Tatton Hall, which are embroidered with the slogan: ‘Future footballers wife’ (sic).

She tweeted a picture to the National Trust, saying: ‘This stupid hat is for sale at Tatton Park. Your young female visitors deserve better merch (+ better grammar).’

Damn straight.

Equality is not a dirty word.

I decided to give up carbs for two weeks six weeks ago.

Of course, you can’t completely give up carbs unless you want to become malnourished – I mean, even celery has carbs in it. But I decided to stick to under 20g per day to see how it affected my body, my health, my confidence, and my state of mind.

People aren't impressed with National Trust for selling this 'sexist' hat

‘Sleep tight -Don’t let the bed bugs bite.’

Bed bugs are a seriously disgusting and harmful infestation to have in your mattress.

Looking at photos of thin women can change people's body image in just 15 minutes

They are small, brown, oval-shaped insects that feed off the blood of animals and humans.

Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed, they have flat bodies meaning they can get into incredibly small spaces.

September is shaping up to be a very busy month for new London restaurant openings.

Just as well because August felt comparatively quiet.

This month, London is seeing an influx of flavours from around the world, including a new outpost from a renowned Mexican chef, a duo-concept Indian eatery and a plant-based food stop where everything is free from gluten and refined sugar.

Today I read that ‘mangagement’ rings are on the rise.

That’s not a new concept or term, to be clear. Mangagement rings have been around for aaaages, with the trend first popping up on the internet in 2011.

Basically, a mangagement ring is an engagement ring… but for men.

Let's not let 'mangagement' rings become a thing

That’s right: Men, too, can enjoy the thrill of wearing a sparkly ring to let everyone know they’re off-limits and belong to another person. And they don’t even have to worry about their masculinity to do it, as it’s a mangagement ring instead of a… Read the full story

We all love a trip to Ikea. It stocks everything you could ever think of adding to your home, they sell super-cheap scented candles and in addition to that, they offer some of the best meatballs you’ll ever taste. 

This zero-waste supermarket bans packaging and stocks only ethical goods

But a man has taken his love of Ikea a lot further than the rest of us – by getting a tattoo of the flat plan giant’s iconic pencil on his wrist to celebrate the opening of a new store.

It’s not even Autumn yet but people are already going mad for pumpkin spice-themed everything.

And now, the popular Starbucks latte is available in the form of candles, thanks to Etsy seller DoubleBrush.

Yep, for just £12.81 you can now burn a candle that’ll smell just like your favourite drink – and it even comes in an recycled Starbucks Frappuccino glass bottle for extra effect (don’t worry, the bottle are carefully sanitised, washed and dried to ensure they’re safe to be re-used), complete with a pumpkin coloured ribbon.

London will be alive with the spirit of Munich as London Oktoberfest prepares to land its giant beer marquee of fun on British soil once more.

Get your traditional Dirndl and Lederhosen out of the back of the closet (because we all own them, right?), dust them down and get your beer hats on because Oktoberfest is going on tour and London is of course the destination.

Taking place in Millwall Park, London’s Oktoberfest is into its seventh year and it’s going to be an incredible eight-day celebration of all things Bavarian. Thousands of beer lovers are expected to sample its delights and it’s all kicking off on September 28^th.

Event director Carsten Raun has already promised to make it “the party of the year”, but what’s in store I hear you ask as you frantically search Google for the Lederhosen hire. Well, this:

No one of sane mind would claim that pregnancy is easy.

For some women, however, the experience goes far beyond the usual symptoms of morning sickness and back pain.

9 women share their pregnancy scare stories

With conception comes unforeseen conditions and illnesses that range from disruptive and terrifying to life threatening.

What should be a celebratory occasion descends into a miasma of physical symptoms, anxiety and fear, and there is no guarantee that these will subside when the baby is born.

We all love a good ghost story – but when that ghost story could turn out to be real, the terrifying factor goes from 1 – 100.

This discreet, hands-free breast pump could change your life

Level 100 is something Adam Ellis, from Manhattan, is currently experiencing.

Since 7 August, Adam has been taking to Twitter to document some freaky happenings that have been going on in his apartment.

It all started when Adam experienced sleep paralysis, and saw a little boy in a rocking chair by his bed.

Adam explained that he thought he was being ‘haunted by the ghost of a dead child’… Read the full story

Expressing breast milk is traditionally a cumbersome and not exactly discreet task.

Everything you need to know about this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

You’ve got a load of kit to lug around, it can be noisy and there are tubes and bottles all over the show.

Plus, it impacts on your day as you have to stop what you’re doing.

Which is why Willow, the all-in-one breast pump that sits in your bra, may well be a gamechanger.

It’s unique because everything works inside the pump with no external bottles or tubes, leaving you… Read the full story

We all went mad for The Pip Stop’s Prosecco Advent Calendar, which featured a range of sparkling wines for 24 days of December.

Now the online alcohol-shop has blessed us with another booze-filled Christmas countdown – this time coming in the form of gin and tonic.

People are using piercings to turn their tongues into snakes

However, this calendar works a little differently to the fancy prosecco one.

Instead of opening the tiny doors to small measures of different gins, this Gin and Tonic Advent Calendar holds a range of different tonics to open each day.

Today in slightly worrying news for our current sexual education curriculum, a poll has found that half of men can’t point to where the vagina is on a human body.

The Eve Appeal asked 1,000 men to label the vagina on a diagram showing the vagina, vulva, cervix, ovaries, and Fallopian tubes of a human body.

Of those 1,000 men, 500 were unable to correctly label the vagina on that diagram.

Now, that sample size is fairly small, so it’s possible that the Eve Appeal… Read the full story

This time last year, I’d just moved to the big city, and was at a posh political event in Westminster, sipping awful red wine with the Eton crowd. I had no idea how I got there, and I noticed a guy on the sidelines who looked how I felt.

We got talking, and decided to ditch the gross wine for gin and tonics in a nearby pub. Things escalated, and we ended up back at his place.

I noticed there were a lot of feminine touches around the flat. ‘Does your girlfriend live here, or something?’ I asked. He looked uncomfortable. ‘We broke up… Read the full story
