If you ever want to see how far we've come with our societal views, you only have to look back at the media we consumed just 20 years ago. Diet books, weight-focused reality shows, and magazines which pitted women against each other in the form of "who wore it best?" columns really were the epitome of anti-feminist rhetoric. While evenings were spent watching the latest episode of "You Are What You Eat", "Snog, Marry, Avoid", and "The Biggest Loser", as well as saving up for the latest fashion f

Yes, We're Still Obsessed With K-Beauty, and These Are the 11 Products We Rate

K-beauty was once seen as a niche trend, but then it put sheet masks and BB creams on the beauty map (the map being country-wide #shelfies) and everyone wanted in. K-beauty made its mark here in Britain thanks to its innovative products that often promise clear, glowing, glass-like complexions, as well as novel delivery mechanisms and quirky packaging (we're looking at you, The Ooozoo, Tony Moly and Laneige).

'I spent hundreds to remove excess hair after waiting seven years for a PCOS diagnosis'

And let me tell you, I didn’t take very much comfort in the fact that some mornings, having to choose between removing the hair from my cheeks, chin and upper lip or being bullied for something out of my control was ‘normal’.

Growing up, others tended to tease me for the hair on my face. They would jokingly ask what method I use to remove my hair or ask why I had hair there in the first place.

But perhaps the most painful comment was in college, when a close friend told me that a boy said to m
