How can you ever really prepare for motherhood? Sure, you’ve gone to the prenatal classes, decorated your nursery and you might have jumped on the hypnobirthing bandwagon, but what about when your baby – the entire human being that you have just birthed – arrives? No one tells you to prepare for the bleeding, the

Up until a year ago, my exercise routine had never been consistent. As a plus-size babe, gyms terrified me (especially the cult-like London offerings) and at-home workouts were near-impossible as commuting meant leaving my flat at 7am and getting home at 6pm – at the very earliest (remember when we could socialise!). Cue, the pandemic.

We may only be a month into 2021 but we’ve already witnessed some historic moments for Black women – most prominently, Kamala Harris taking the helm as the first woman of colour to be sworn in as Vice President of the United States. In every industry, Black women have ferociously carved out a space for

“I’m such a catfish,” says Lottie Winter, GLAMOUR Beauty Editor. “I filter and Facetune every photo I post on social media – so much so, that I worry people will be confused when they meet me (if they can even recognise me, of course). It’s a habit I slipped into it about five years ago

Ever since the record-breaking period drama Bridgerton hit our screens on Christmas Day; it’s been coming for every element of our lives from our wardrobes, to our lingo, even to our sex lives and now it’s coming for our homes. With season two confirmed and other period dramas like The Great, Dickinson and Emma taking

If binging on Netflix has achieved anything, it’s a love of true crime dramas. But what if we said you could get the same thrills (if not more) from reading about them instead? Often times, they’re so gripping to read that you can get lost in the story and for a moment forget that what

While the fashion weeks hosted in New York, London, Milan and Paris reign supreme as the largest and most coveted in the world, Copenhagen’s offering – which is well underway right now, albeit digitally – continues to climb the ranks as *the* event for forecasting trends. It’s no surprise, really. We’ve long been turning to

Awards season is well and truly on the horizon in Hollywood with the Golden Globe 2021 nominations announced today. Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P Henson are hosting the virtual announcement event today, while the 78th Golden Globes themselves will be broadcast from New York and Los Angeles for the very first time on 28th

Bonafide babe Khloe Kardashian has been lauded by social media users for celebrating her stretch marks on Instagram. The 36-year-old reality star posted a close-up bikini pic of her ‘stripes’ highlighted by sand. Khloe captioned the image with “I love my stripes” alongside a zebra emoji.

When it comes to giving our scalps the love they really deserve, one size doesn’t fit all. And, if we’re treating dandruff (which happens to the best of us), we need to take into consideration the condition of our scalp, as well as the texture of our hair to make sure we don’t soothe one

Married At First Sight Australia has had us all at the edge of our seats with weeks of endless drama and hilarious Twitter reactions getting us through lockdown 3.0. The sixth season of the show, which aired in Australia back in 2019, has only just made its way to the UK and is currently on

When it comes to foundations, M∙A∙C is pretty up there in its reputation for offering great, high-performance, premium formulas at affordable prices. The brand’s No.1 bestselling foundation is the Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 Foundation – a well-known makeup artist favourite. It has legions of loyal fans all over the world too, calling it “the BEST

The 14th of February 2020 was one of my last really great days before the first lockdown began. The details seem impossible now. Boarding a crowded train full of maskless strangers, sitting in a pub at lunchtime with my book and a beer, having my hair dyed orange on a whim, taking my time browsing

A few years ago, many of us wouldn’t have thought about recycling our empty beauty products. Our food tins and empty milk cartons? Sure. But our serums and face wipes? It probably wouldn’t have crossed our minds. Luckily, the thought of recycling our beauty empties has become second nature to many of us. Not only

If we open our diaries these days, we’re lucky if we don’t see tumbleweed blowing across the page. Cancelled catch-ups with mates, postponed vacays, and crossed-out coffees with colleagues means that we’re lacking structure. On the other hand, it frees up time to invest in the areas of our life we do still have some

Just when you think you’ve got to grips with ceramides, niacinamide, antioxidants and retinol, another ingredient comes along to shake up everything we thought we knew about skincare and puts our whole routine into question. While it can all seem overwhelming and confusing, it’s well worth educating yourself on the different ingredients as and when

Dear concealer, I love you. Like most people, I’d hail concealer as my desert island beauty product because whether you want something to quickly erase dark circles or have a spot you want to banish (cheers, maskne), concealer is the superman of skin-correcting. Plus, it takes two seconds to whiz or dot a spot of

Research surrounding the impact of Covid-19 and the long-term damages the virus might have on those who have contracted it are still in early stages but a new study by German scientists has revealed a rather worrying effect. Analysing the semen quality in groups of men who had recovered from the virus and those who

If you’re a Drunk Elephant stan you’ll have heard of the iconic Baby Facial. True fans have had it shipped directly from the Americas as this at-home facial didn’t arrive with the brand’s UK launch in 2018, due to the high percentage of actives getting through accreditation. But now it’s here, we couldn’t wait to
