And spoiler alert: love need not be expensive! Some of the most touching, meaningful and romantic gestures come free of cost, because really all that matters on February 14th and beyond is spending time with the person who makes you feel most ‘you’. Turn the heat up with a sensual life drawing class guaranteed...

In a world where you can have ethical porn and erotic audio, why would you ever need to associate with conventional porn ever again?

If visual porn’s just not your thing or you’re looking for ways to spice up your sex life and connect with your pleasure in newfangled ways, erotic audio offers a plethora of safe, convenient and consensual smut. In a space defined by and for the male gaze, this fresh breed of horny fables is music (and breathy sweet nothings) to our ears. 

90% of women use t...

New year, new beauty routine, right? 2022 might have got off to a slow and somewhat overcast start, but one thing that hasn’t been dampened by a certain global panna cotta is the new beauty and skincare launches dropping like they’re hot and spicing up the Boots aisle to no end. Whether you’re partial to a bargain or feel in the mood for a splurge (who doesn’t, eh?), everyone from drugstore faves Maybelline to bad and boujie Tata Harper have got something new and shiny to offer in the year of th...

If you’ve been anywhere near a Holland and Barrett store in the past few years, Googled ‘ways to ease anxiety’, or even explored the ‘new-in’ section of your favourite skincare brand, chances are you may have come across the somewhat mystifying world of CBD. The industry is predicted to be worth an estimated $20 billion by 2024, and with claims such as helping manage menstrual pains, fighting skin ailments such as acne and psoriasis, alleviating insomnia and even aiding in chronic pain, it’s no ...

Due to circumstances beyond our control, it’s still January, but if there’s one failsafe way to make the hardest month of the year a little easier, it’s a soul-soothing spa break. And just like that, you were swaddled in a fluffy robe and wearing complimentary slippers made exclusively for size 10 feet. Flip floppin’ around in ridiculous footwear is all part of le experience. 

After the last two years, the thought of escaping to a rooftop jacuzzi sounds even more appealing than usual. From th...

Sex. That seemingly nonchalant three letter word is loaded (excuse the pun) with meaning, experience, emotion, and sometimes trauma.  It should be fun, although sometimes complicated, and during the times we can’t get enough of it the joys of feeling sensual, empowered and desired can’t be beaten. But for so many, sex isn’t as simple as that. For the 51% of women that struggle with sex, be it painful intercourse, feeling shame or overthinking the experience as a whole, finding support and resour...

If waking up in darkness wasn’t enough to prompt Airbnb hunting for destinations literally *anywhere* but here, it turns out we can’t even run to social media as a usual form of escapism in the New Year. Why, you may ask? Diets. Diets everywhere!

The year is 2022 and it appears the mainstream media and diet companies specifically are yet to cotton on to the fact that talking about weight loss in the period directly after Christmas (or the other 11 months of the year for that matter) can be r...

Remember in primary school when a friend would draw a letter on your back and you’d have to guess what it was, or was that a game we exclusively played in West Sussex? Well, let it be known that some of us (naming no names) purposely got the letter wrong so that we’d get another back tickle out of it. Fast forward 20 years and that unnamed sensation would be known as, klaxon: ASMR. 

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response was a term first coined in 2010 by Healthcare IT Consultant Jennifer Allen...

Have you ever stopped to consider why your best mate’s up and at ‘em at 5:00am but you consider waking up any time before 8:00am as violence? Introducing: Chronotypes. 

You’re probably familiar with the terms ‘night owl’, referring to people who habitually stay up late and remain active past midnight, and the contrasting ‘early bird’ or ‘morning lark’, known for rising with the roosters and feeling well-rested upon waking up. 

Margaret Thatcher was a notorious (and extreme) early bird, wit...

Fancy serving Andrea Sachs realness in your 2022 office wardrobe? Duh, who wouldn’t! Colourful, chic, sophisticated yet fun, nothing about a 9-5 outfit needs to be as boring as Steve from accounts, let us promise you that. And if 2022 is feeling like it’s off to a dreary start (is the sun on furlough pls?), what better way to add some joy into your day than with a primary colour blazer and suit trouser combo or adorable fit and flare jumpsuit? Confidence begins with a killer outfit and we are pr...
