When it comes to making an amazing comeback Craig David is definitely winning and we couldn’t be happier. 

Gynaecologists warn that putting yoghurt in your vagina won't help to treat thrush

There were many great things about the 00s, but arguably the best thing about the whole decade was Craig David.

Not only was he an exciting new musical talent, but he helped Garage music gain mainstream popularity, and was responsible for classic songs such as Fill Me In, Rewind, and provided you with some flirting tips on 7 Days.

And best of all now he’s back, with a new single, an album out… Read the full story

Luxury beauty brand Hourglass Cosmetics has announced that it’ll be pulling the plug on using any animal products in its products.

Although they already have a few vegan offerings, they plan to be fully plant-based by 2020.

At the moment, the brand is promoting a campaign in partnership with the Nonhuman Rights Project, donating all proceeds from their vegan leather makeup bags to help the organisation to fight for legal protections for animals.

‘Luxury is a combination of innovation and integrity,’ says Hourglass Cosmetics CEO, Carisa James.

‘Our values have always been exemplified in our commitment to creating cruelty-free products.

‘If we are truly committed to being 100% cruelty-free, we shouldn’t have animal-derived ingredients in our… Read the full story

Attention, please. Now that Halloween’s over, it’s officially Christmas time.

Don’t believe us? Then trust in brands. The Coca-Cola truck is on its way around the UK, Costa has released its Christmas menu, and today Starbucks officially unveiled its Christmas cups.

(Yes, we did have a sneaky preview last week, but now we know the legit, 100% real cup being sold this year)

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This year’s cup has the standard Starbucks logo in green, surrounded by doodles of hands, presents, doves, and mistletoe. So far, so Christmassy (although we suspect Starbucks will still be accused of disrespecting a… Read the full story

Coming from a relatively renowned ‘good time girl’, this might be hard to muster, but I’m bored of the pressure to go boozing.

Let’s be honest from the off, I was once a founding member of a comically named ‘Thursday Club’.

If you’re fed up of waiting for your food to go cold while your friends try to get the perfect angle, head to Berkshire.

A Michelin starred restaurant has decided to ban photos altogether.

The Waterside Inn restaurant in Berkshire – which has held three Michelin stars since 1985 – have decided to ban photos altogether and have even put up a sign at the door instructing diners not to get snap-happy.

Founder Michel Roux who opened the restaurant with his brother Albert in 1972 told The Daily Mail that he can’t understand why diners are so insistent on uploading their snaps to the ‘Gram.

Roux particularly laments that photos won’t be able… Read the full story

Imagine forking out on a plane ticket, spending all night packing and then arriving at the airport…only to be weighed.

In front of hoards of holidaymakers, you’re told to get your big bum on the scales.

And then airline staff jot down your sizeable weight on a clipboard so they know just how much fuel it’s going to take to lug you into the air.

You’d die of embarrassment, surely?

Well, that’s soon going to be the reality for passengers flying with Finnair, a Finnish airline.

If your floor is currently covered in tangles of loose hair, if you keep finding yourself yanking strands out from between your buttcheeks after a shower, if every time you run a brush through your hair you’re alarmed at just how much ends up on your lap, you’re not alone.

Hair shedding is totally normal, and if you feel like you’re experiencing it more intensely recently, you’re not imagining things.

Hair shedding does indeed increase in intensity in autumn and summer, according to new research.

When I was younger, I used to slag off mates who chose to hang out with dudes over their friends.

When you’re at school, your friends are your life.

They dictate what you do and when you do it. They help form your character, your interests, your views.

And for many girls (especially those stuck in single-sex schools), friends should always count for more than guys.

Then you go to uni and make more friends of the opposite sex while spending a lot of time not being sober.

You come out the other side (hopefully) more at ease with guys and eventually find yourself into a long-term relationship.

C’est la vie.

And it’s during this… Read the full story

A summer of festivals, holidays and, yep, the weddings.

The first time I was made to feel uncomfortable by a man’s behaviour, I was still in primary school.

I was at the cinema and a much older man sidled up to me as I came back from the toilet and commented on what I was wearing.

He blocked my way, leered at me and made a remark about my body and clothing which made me feel shameful, guilty and unsafe.

If you have just recently turned to veganism or vegetarianism or are following the rules of the Islamic traditional law then you may be wondering if you can have your favourite chewy sweets.

When Apple first announced they were going to be releasing a load of new emoji with their iOS 11.1 update, people were understandably excited.

Especially when news broke that there was going to be a bunch of gender neutral emoji to ensure the brand was being more inclusive of various communities.

This, following in the footsteps of the emoji inclusive of different skin tones, is just another positive step in making every iPhone user feel accepted.

Well, everyone who’s not disabled, that is.

Alongside the gender neutral emojis come a long list of not so relevant keyboard additions.

The other week, we heard that someone might be on their way to developing a pill that could replicate the effect of exercise in the body.

And today, there’s news that scientists at the University of Aberdeen are trialling a new drug that could ‘melt away’ fat inside arteries.

That means that we could we well on our way to treating diabetes, heart attacks and strokes.

Many of us are happy to fly in economy – it means saving more money for our holidays, and what’s a few hours on a plane with only a touch of leg room, right?

But if you’re flying with Singapore Airlines next year, you may want to rethink your strategy – as they’ve just unveiled their new first class cabins, and they’re basically like hotel rooms in the sky.

The first class cabins come after four years of development – and accompany new business and economy styles, too – which cost the airline $850 million to create.

But obviously we’re most focused on the first class area, because it’s pretty special.
