Alright, so. It’s probably fair to go ahead and say that Meghan Markle has triggered a lot of beauty trends since she became everyone’s favourite member of the royal family. Everyone’s digging the low pony, winter maxis are back, and not brushing your hair before a royal engagement is totally acceptable. There’s also been a […]

If your office’s dress code is casual, obviously. (If it’s not you might want to stick some tights on or something, but whatever, this is a #look and we’re in full support of it.) It’s that horrible time of the year where it’s absolutely roasting out but not roasting in a good way, roasting where […]

Seems a bit rude but OK. Prince George and Princess Charlotte are but mere children. They are incredibly young, both having been born within the past couple of years, which means that between them, they don’t really have all that much life experience. Which is fair enough, like. They’re basically toddlers. Still though, their ages […]

Love Island 2018 kicked off this week. The opening show only lasted a mere 1.5 hours and yet we were already graced with awkwardness, accidents, and total, utter assholes. An emotional time for all involved, clearly. And even though we’ve only seen the first episode of this year’s series, we can already pretty much guess […]

Help. Ariana Grande is a ride – everybody knows this. She’s talented, she’s lovely, she genuinely just seems like a ray of sunshine, and she’s probably one of the most beautiful people to walk this planet ever.

No, she’s not part of this year’s cast… That would be ridiculous Love Island kicked off last night and while five couples have been paired up, nobody’s pregnant yet so clearly things aren’t all that serious. That isn’t the case for former Love Island contestant Malin Andersson though because she’s pregnant so she’s obviously fairly […]

Is the park edible, though..? Look, everyone loves cheese and if you say you don’t love cheese you’re a liar. It’s smooth, it’s creamy, it’s delicious, it makes any meal worth having and any life worth living. Just a great thing to have in the world and in every sandwich, to be honest. And for […]

Fair. In case you weren’t aware, Love Island is starting this evening. We’ve come a long way since the debaucherous and totally embarrassing content that came with the show’s first series back in 2005 – now it’s all abs, bikinis, and #sponsoredposts – but the show’s concept remains the same. And yeah, we can’t wait […]

Things are only going from bad to worse in the Dale. Emmerdale, as a rule, just isn’t as gritty as Coronation Street.  When’s the last time you heard of someone go on a murderous rampage on Emmerdale?

Sorry, what? Everyone and their ma is launching a beauty line these days. Rihanna. Kris Jenner. Everyone, like.

G’wan the lords. Or ladies, whichever. Meghan and Harry just got married like, three weeks ago or something, so it makes sense that they don’t have any children. It hasn’t been very long, in fairness to them. And while the pair haven’t openly expressed any desire to have kids (they might not want them at […]

Ah, Mariah. Look, someone like Mariah Carey can literally do no wrong. She can bang out the same tune 15 times and no one will care. She can start whistling the lyrics to her songs on stage and people won’t bat an eyelid. She can start promoting her Christmas tour in June and it’ll be […]

Who designed that bathroom? When a gal posts a fire selfie, one of two things tend to happen.

Ah, god. When it comes to love and dating and all those harrowing things that come with them, Coronation Street‘s Sophie Webster hasn’t exactly had the best luck.

No. When you think of the generic ‘dad’ character, what do you think of? Bad jokes? Ginger beards? An overcooked steak? Or do you think of the single worst, most offensive fashion faux pas to ever exist in the world ever – the toe shoe? Or the foot glove? Depending on how you’re feeling. If […]
