Same, girl. If you’ve ever been on a first date, you’ll probably know that they’re nerve-wracking, stressful, and pretty much just one of the most tense things you’ll ever have to do in your life. Or if you’re a super chill normal person, first dates are fine. Good for you, whatever. There are plenty of […]

Christ. How many times a week do you go to the gym? Twice a week? Four times a week? Never because effort of that? All of the above options are acceptable, tbh. No matter what you do in the gym (or don’t do, whatever suits), you’ll know that an intense workout can be rewarding… but […]

Say it isn’t so. If you’re at all familiar with Emmerdale, you’ll know that there are a few characters who are pretty much iconic when it comes to the soap. Or, basically, entire families. In this case, it’s the Dingles. They’ve been around since the beginning of time causing havoc, getting on people’s nerves, and […]

Finally. It’s been a long couple of months (years, it feels like years) since we’ve seen a bit of sunshine in this country. As of late, it’s been wind, rain, and shocking amounts of snow that have kept us indoors, breaking umbrellas, and generally complaining about everything in the world. This weekend, however, it’s all […]

Sex education did not prepare me for sex. This is probably not a statement that’s specific to me or people that I know – in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met anybody who went to school in Ireland who said that their sex ed taught them everything they needed to know. Because it just […]

Giz. Minimalism is all the rage these days. Everyone’s hopping on the reductive, repetitive artistic bandwagon and why not like? There’s not a whole going on, it’s very simple, and just generally pretty nice to look at. While minimalism, as a movement, was most commonly associated with art sculptures and modern architecture, it’s also been […]

Do you wear a bra or nah? Some people do, some people don’t. On the one hand, bras can make you feel more comfortable in your own body (especially if you’ve got big boobs). And on the other, they can be restricting, uncomfortable, and even a bit pointless, really. One young woman who recently decided […]

Things are only going from bad to worse. David Platt has been having a rough time recently, and as of late things have only gotten rougher as he decided to get together with 19-year-old Emma.

This is fair enough, like. Beauty blenders are all the rage these days. You can hardly try your best to be beautiful without somebody coming over and being like: ‘umm, you should have blended more.’ It’s annoying and we would like it to stop and we are all only doing our best. As you may […]

What a versatile man. Tom Hardy does this thing when he stars in films where he looks so little like himself that you’re sitting there watching it like ‘who’s that, is that Tom Hardy?’ It’s happened to us so many times now we can hardly count, generally only remedied by the fact that Hardy’s voice […]
