Yaas girl, get it. If you managed to go through puberty and not suffer from acne, skin conditions, or even just the odd break out, good for you. You are one of the few people who didn’t wake up at least once plagued with worries about leaving the house because of the state your skin. […]

That’s fair enough, like. When you think of fancy as f*ck airlines, what springs to mind? Glorious food? Decent space to stretch out your legs? A queen size bed? Yeah, all of the above wouldn’t go amiss on a flight in fairness now. It makes sense then that the world’s best airline has all of […]

Giz. Today is World Nutella Day. Congratulations to everyone involved. The annual event sees fans of the chocolate-y, nutty spread talk all things chocolate, nuts, and spreads as they eat a load of the stuff and celebrate the fact that it exists. And thank god too. It’s been a day of fun, food, and fabulousness […]

Same, to be honest. The saddest dog in the world has been revealed – her name is Madame Eyebows and this is her. She’s got a sad mouth. She’s got sad eyebrows. She’s got sad ears. She’s still adorable af, but Jesus Christ, is she sad? Bless her. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgqOfE2AHP2/?taken-by=madame_eyebrows If Madame Eyebrows were a woman, […]

Yeah, and? Being a woman means a few things are fairly likely. You probably earn less than your male co-workers. You might have boobs. You cannot freely exercise your bodily autonomy in Ireland. Yeah, fairly likely. Another thing that’s fairly likely if you’re a woman is that you’ve got female friends. And if you haven’t […]

C’mon girl, take a seat. Getting married is supposed to be a lovely, fun, and exciting time. You love someone (maybe), you want to spend the rest of your life with them (probably), and it’s all very fun and grand (potentially). Still though, despite this it’s not uncommon for people of all genders to have […]

Giz. Everybody was really excited when they heard that The Late Late Show‘s Country Special was happening again this year. It’s got everything you could possibly want from a country special of any popular talk show: a tribute to the late Glen Campbell, a load of singing, and surely a cowboy hat or two. It’d […]

Salivating. If you don’t like donuts, please exit the room to your left leaving all of your belongings because you don’t need things where you’re going (hell). A slight exaggeration and overreaction perhaps, and yet, this is how strongly we feel about the fried dough-y goodness. We feel even better about donuts now that we […]

Hmm… Facebook has plans to introduce a new ‘unsend’ feature in a bid to keep users on side. Following the Cambridge Analytica scandal which saw thousands upon thousands of people’s personal data shared with a third party, support for the tech giant has taken a substantial hit. Once the breach became public knowledge, considerable numbers of […]

Intriguing. Sandwiches are known for their simplicity. At best, you’ll pick one up and it’ll be moist, filled well, and deeply satisfying. At worst, you’ll get one and it’ll be a slice of Galty and some butter but you’ll still eat it anyway, whatever, it’s grand. If you’ve ever queued with us (me, I mean […]

Twice the fun. If you, like us, had vaguely constructed plans for this evening that you didn’t really want to attend anyway then you’re in luck because the best reason to stay in tonight just landed.

Do you like depressing things?

Women make up half of all homeless people in Ireland, with many also being pregnant. Approximately 42 percent of homeless people around the country are women, according to the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI). This is considerably higher than the EU homeless average, which sees between 20 and 33 percent being female. The number […]

Ah, no. If you didn’t watch Gogglebox last night, you probably assumed that it was pretty much the same as it always is: people sitting around being vaguely funny and watching a bit of telly.

Same, to be honest. There’s no better way to get to know a person than to live with them. You can follow them on Instagram, you can work with them, you can hang out 24/7, but living under the same roof as someone is the only surefire way to really know them as a person. […]

Giz. It’s the weekend which means one of two things – you’re either super hungover and absolutely starving, or slightly hungover and absolutely starving.

Stellar. If you haven’t been following Coronation Street’s latest male rape storyline, let us get you up to date on what’s been happening. Last month, David Platt was drugged and raped by newcomer Josh Tucker. Understandably, this led to a lot of intense scenes with actor Jack P Shepherd as David struggled to cope with […]

So soothing, so serene. There are plenty of things people use tinfoil for. Wrapping up sandwiches is one. Making sure your chicken doesn’t get too brown in the oven is another.

Ah, god. If you had a daughter for a couple of years, would you be bothered changing her name? Probably not – it involves a lot of paperwork, effort, and many other things that require a lot of time and we wouldn’t really be bothered, really. There’s one lad though who has decided that he […]

FINALLY. Vibrators are great – everybody knows that. They’re pleasurable, they’re fun, and they’re a great time killer. However, the vibrator does have one fatal flaw – it’s loud as f*ck.

Dreams do come true, it seems. If you’ve ever popped into McDonald’s early in the morning before work (who among us hasn’t, right?), you’ve probably wondered why you can’t buy chicken nuggets before 10.30am.

Tinder was down last night. If you weren’t aware of that fact, fair play on having a life and/or a loving relationship, whatever like, you don’t need to brag about it.

Name one thing worse than period pain. Never mind, don’t even try, because you can’t.

Thankfully though, there are a lot of […]

Alright, rude. If there’s one thing we don’t like happening at the end of a movie, it’s being called a slut. It’s rude, it’s unnecessary, it’s severely unfeminist – just not on really.
