Happy 10th wedding anniversary to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! We can’t actually believe it’s been a whole decade since we celebrated that epic day (how could we all forget, we got a bonus bank holiday) with street parties and Kate and Wills cut-out masks galore. To mark their special milestone, Kate Middleton and

It’s time for another round of books up for this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction, and as always it’s an incredible shortlist. Getting away on a hot beach might be looking less possible as the days go by, but whether you head to a British beach or stay put at home, there’s bound to be

Line of Duty finishes this week, and while we all are anxious to find out who H is, the reality that the nation’s favourite show is about to end for good is hitting. In our heartbreak we’re doubtful that another show can fill its shoes, but deep down we know there’s plenty more police, crime

Browsing and buying from Etsy’s incredible vintage fashion stores is our new favourite pastime. Unique,

Savannah Brookbank knew her three and a half year relationship was coming to an end. The 25-year-old, who works in social media, said it was her ‘intuition’ that told her things between her and her “first love” weren’t quite right. But even when the pair finally made their split official, Savannah still felt completely floored

You know what they say, the grass is always greener, on the other side. This summer, when it comes to hair though, it’s blonder. We’re out the other side of lockdown and after months of growing extra familiar with our roots loads of us are looking for a hair shake-up. And nothing says freshhh like

If only there were a way to easily master getting your perfect foundation shade, all year round… Well, it turns out there is a hack for this – rejoice! But be warned, it’s pretty time-consuming and you’ll need to be dedicated to the full beat (LOL if you think we’re exaggerating). Technicalities aside, these viral

Ah yes, The Academy Awards, otherwise known as The Oscars! This is the most glamorous night in the Hollywood calendar where the entertainment community and film fans all around the world turn their attention to who will be awarded the most coveted film reward of all – the golden statue trophy. As mere spectators, we

Looking at the nominees in this year’s Oscars, it’s almost unthinkable that in 2015 and 2016, not a single person of colour was nominated. This Sunday, five ceremonies on from the hashtag #Oscarssowhite uproar, the winners will be picked from a lineup that breaks hard with tradition – and the award’s dire record on diversity.

Particularly when you’re working from home and reaching for the kettle approx. 674829 times a day. Forget what you thought you knew: not all kettles are made equal, and there’s so

At around 8pm on Tuesday 20th April, a breaking news notification made my breath catch in my chest. After nine hours of deliberation, a Minnesota jury had come to a verdict on former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was filmed kneeling on George Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes last May.

Amazon is just about… everywhere. You can’t shop for a book or gadget without seeing Amazon’s results come up on Google shopping pages, and now the online giant is after a slice of the in-person hair industry.

We pay a lot of attention to the front of our hair. For instance, curtain bangs and face-framing layers get a lot of air time. Then there’s length. That generally gets plenty of consideration. As for when the stylist asks “how would you like your shape at the back?” Ummmmmmm? Yeah, we’re not too sure

We have a very love-hate relationship with dating apps. Whether we’re looking for love or a bit of fun, constantly swiping on Tinder and Hinge can be as fun as it is exhausting.
