The best kind of member to add to your family, tbh. Look lads, Meghan Markle is not pregnant – please stop suggesting that she is because her dress bunched up a bit at her stomach or because she was the tiniest bit bloated one day. It’s rude and she’ll start having kids when she’s ready […]

That’s us told. Over the past few weeks, we’ve done nothing but smearing coconut oil all over our bodies. It’s been constant, it’s been wet, and it’s been incredibly difficult to stop. The stuff just feels so good, you know? And while the coconut oil debate has been raging on for many years now, we […]

No, we’d never noticed it either, tbh. Over the course of your lifetime, you’ve probably looked at a fair few photos of Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. She’s been in the public eye for quite some time now, attending royal engagements, wearing some decent clothes, and having babies. She’s a fairly busy woman like, it’d […]

Ah, god. Choosing a name for your child is hard. It just is. Sometimes the perfect name just comes to you, and other times it doesn’t. In the case of journalist Shona Sibary, it didn’t and she ended up changing her daughter’s name an impressive four times before she landed on something that she was happy […]

No, not the Toy Show, just the regular Late Late Show.  Sorry. Still though, decent night out we’d say. If you’re at all a fan of the Late Late Show, stick it on the odd time, or even have no time for it whatsoever, chances are you still wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to go […]

Hipster baby, incoming. If you or someone you know is currently pregnant and stuck for a baby name, you have come to the right place. Well, unless you’re thinking of calling your child something super traditional or just a bit normal, because these names are far from any of that. They’re quirky, which means you’re […]

Sixteen. Six. Teen. If you went to an all-girls Catholic secondary school, you’ll be more than familiar with the sensation of being in a room with a lot of pregnant people in one go. No shade, just sayin’. It happens. And it’s happened in a hospital in the States too as 16 nurses are currently […]

Grim. A mum has shared a photo of the mould hidden in her children’s lunchboxes and it’s honestly more than a bit disgusting.

Ah, Jesus, c’mon lads. Look, we all like a bit of Emmerdale.  Like, we don’t actually watch the show outside of work hours and can’t exactly follow most or any of the storylines without the help of a search engine, but whatever, it’s a good soap, it’s got drama, and it’s a nice way to […]

A domestic abuse charity is “disappointed” that Dan Osborne has been included in this series of Celebrity Big Brother.  Solace Women’s Aid has said that Channel 5 should “make a stand against” domestic violence in order not to normalise such behaviour.

Since becoming a legit member of the royal family, there’s a few changes Meghan Markle has had to make to her lifestyle choices. One of them is that she’s not allowed to wear nail polish anymore. Another is that she should probably stay away from garlic because the Queen’s not a big fan of it. […]
