We are all sensory beings with our own set of unique preferences and sensitivities. Some people love the hustle and bustle of city life or a live music venue, whilst others find their sanctuary in the calm of a quiet library or immersed in nature. 

Every event that we experience in our day to day lives has a sensory component. The eight sensory systems (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, proprioception, interoception) are critical for helping us understand our enviro...

What’s for dinner? The age old question can get seriously tiresome by the time hump day rolls around, as you find yourself wondering if it’s acceptable to order just *one* more Deliveroo this month. Did anyone else not realise meal planning would be such an integral part of adulthood? We feel cheated.

If your recipe repertoire needs seriously spicing up, look no further than the foodie A-listers who love a home cooked meal as much as the rest of us. From treasures like Stanley Tucci and his ...

Don’t judge a book by its cover, or so the adage goes but whilst we try not to judge, there’s always room to admire and appreciate art. 

Cover trends exist because readers do consider the cover before diving into the blurb, particularly now we’re sharing our reviews and latest reads on social media. 

With the arrival of BookTok and Bookstagram, the allure of an aesthetic cover is as much part of the reading experience as the story it holds, and with more people going online to get their bo...

Although the tepid temperatures of Spring thus far might not feel like it, bare leg, t-shirt and bikini season are on their way, and things are about to get a lot more skimpy as we manifest a long, hot summer of sun. If you’re seeking a way to add a little bit of *spice* to your look in 2022 (and forever, actually), a tiny tattoo might be just the fresh addition you’re after to switch things up in a subtle yet adorable way, whether your inking has a deeper, personal meaning or simply looks cute ...

Sometimes the beauty of a series you love being somewhat underappreciated is part of its charm- you get to keep its characters and the intricacies of its world all to yourself, whilst other times you wish it was government enforced homework for everyone to watch your beloved show from start to finish. Today we’re exploring 10 of the most underrated but wonderful in every way Netflix shows that somehow manage to slip under the radar, despite their powerful, beautiful, intriguing and moving storyt...

Does anyone else feel like they have been counting down to the Easter long weekend for what feels like forever? After being lulled into a false sense of Spring with a couple of 17 degree days earlier last month (more fool us!), it’s safe to say our wardrobes are an accumulation of jumpers and tentative Birkenstocks, making picking an outfit for this very meh weather much more of a challenge. Despite confused wardrobes, something we can be sure to bank on: celebrating the first ‘normal’ Easter in...

If you’re looking for a sign to break your book ban, here it is. 

Make way for books so good, they’ll actually get you to put your phone down. No mean feat when you’ve got Wordles and Heardles to do. From the romance reads you’ll need a week to recover from (because you’re vibing with your new boyfriend: Atlas) to the books that will cause emotional damage in the best possible way, here are the trending tomes that have the internet in a chokehold. 

*Please always check trigger warnings bef...

When it comes to looking after our skin, sun protection is non-negotiable but as we well know, not all SPF is created equal – especially when it comes to your face – and finding one that offers both UVA and UVB protection, hydrates and doesn’t cause breakouts or leave a chalky residue on the skin is no mean feat.

Whilst the glorious mini heatwave might have been and gone already (in a bit, pub garden!), the need for SPF endures, no matter the weather, season or temp as UV rays can still pass ...

Hooray, we’ve reached the first Bank Holiday weekend since the New Year and feeling grateful for some time off doesn’t even cut it. With blossom on the trees, daffodils springing up here, there and everywhere and a sense of optimism in the air, the Easter Bank Holiday is often the first opportunity of the year when grabbing every picnic option insight in Tesco feels like a viable long weekend activity. Whether your calendar is looking more like bottomless brunch and Prosecco on ice at all ti...
