No doubt you’re already familiar with Twitter’s red flag dating system, including but not limited to:

Doesn’t like Grey’s Anatomy 

Intimidated by your sex toys 

Sees no shame in wearing white jeans

Uses to and too interchangeably

Talks shit about their ex

ICYMI the red flag meme took over the internet last year and never really lost its steam.

What started as a wholesome way to warn others of the potential no-nos when dating someone new swiftly turned into a viral t...

Gratitude is great. Focusing on the good, no matter how big or small- what’s not to love? But sometimes things aren’t all rainbows and sunshine and recognising that without feeling the need to look at your life with rose-tinted glasses can be a relief in a world in which it feels like you’re putting out *bad vibes* if you’re anything other than a member of the positivity posse. For those of us who can’t help but feel a little glass half empty at times (spoiler: all of us), let us introduce: ingr...

Dearest gentle reader, it’s March which means the social season is upon us, or rather more accurately put: the season we stop being social is upon us because Bridgerton Season 2 (sans the rakiest rake that ever was) has finally made haste and is back on our screens this very month. How we burn for it. Anyone else hoping Madame Delacroix can fix us up with a gown for the occasion? 

Before it was the best thing Netflix ever did, the Bridgerton world was first brought to life in Julia Quinn’s ei...

The first day of Spring is just around the corner – seriously, it’s been winter for 84 years – and if you’re anything like us, you’ll be itching to take a hoover to your coats and jumpers as you vacuum pack them away for another six months (here’s hoping) and banish them to the loft. 

It’s time to reunite with your strappy camis and Teva sandals and prepare to shed ya former sad girl autumn winter personalities in favour of warmer weather, lighter layers and carefree hot girl spring vibes. 

The month of March signifies the marking of International Women’s Day in our calendars, and acts as both a celebration of all the wonderful achievements of women past and present, as well as a reminder of the long road ahead of us in reaching a place of equality and justice for women everywhere. 

If there’s one thing we love to shout about more than anything, regularly and especially on days like IWD, it’s the talent, entrepreneurship, determination and creativity of the women who’s small bus...

Female friendships make the world go round. There to pick us up when everything else is falling apart – the love, protection and sense of connection they imbue our lives with is simply unmatched and irreplaceable.  They say it takes a village, and the warmth, empathy, kindness, and understanding that can be fostered and cherished in friendships between women is one of the reasons we often feel so seen and understood by the pals who take it upon themselves to prioritise each other no matter what....

TW: suicide, racism, domestic abuse, rape. 

In the week of International Women’s Day and following on from International S*x Workers Rights Day on 3rd March, we wanted to amplify the voices of women working within the industry itself. 

Stripping is, and likely always will be, a divisive topic, whether you identify as a woman or a feminist or neither. Is it a feminist act that challenges dominant sexual norms, allowing women to exercise autonomy over their own bodies, or is it an inherently...

The sobbing-in-the-shower song that lifts you up when the world feels like it’s crashing down around you. The break-up anthem that’s got you through the ending of the relationship you knew was bad news but held onto anyway. The dancing around your room in your underwear, feeling like the ultimate bad b*tch after a glass of Vino on a Friday night song. The karaoke classic that all the girls grab for a mic upon hearing the first 0.02 seconds of. The song that instantly transports you to warmer cli...

The gender pay gap is a path of frustration well-trodden when thinking about the disparities between how men and women experience the world, and a tangible example of how challenging simply existing in a female body can be. And whilst there are endless widely reported examples of the contrast between how men and women are treated that shock (or don’t at this point) us on the daily, new data goes as far as suggesting women are actually experiencing less benefits than men in the bedroom too.

Whilst every day is International Women’s Day in our book, the 8th March is globally recognised as *the* day we come together to celebrate the social, economical, cultural and political achievements of women. It’s also a day to raise awareness of inequality and drive positive change to forge a gender-equal world, free of stereotypes and discrimination. 

After recent reports that the pandemic has exacerbated existing gender inequalities, setting back progress by decades – especially for women ...
