I Tried the New Starbucks Clotted Cream Fudge Cold Brew, and It's a Childhood Throwback

The weather might be temperamental, but there's always one thing we can count on in summer: Starbucks's cold drinks. And from 10 August, there's a brand new caffeine-kick to add to your must-try list – and it will transport you straight to the British seaside. The coffee giant's new drink is the Clotted Cream Fudge Cold Brew and, for those with a sweet tooth, it really is as delicious as it sounds.

We all know the coffee chain is expert at creating a viral beverage (hello, cloud frappuccino), a

Iceland Has Cut Its Price of Formula, but Breastfeeding Still Isn’t Free

In August, supermarket giant Iceland did the unthinkable, and promoted that the chain would have a "permanent" price reduction on baby formula. While it might seem like an obvious move for supermarkets, given the current cost of living crisis, to provide support for parents of formula or combi-fed babies via discounts on such an essential item, it's actually illegal for them to shout about it. Yes, really.

Back in 2007, regulations were passed to ensure that marketing in supermarket adverts as

I Made the King’s Coronation Recipe and, TBH, It's a Royal Pain

King Charles III's Coronation is drawing closer by the day, and what better way to get in the patriotic spirit than to partake in a royal-inspired recipe? Whilst Queen Elizabeth II gave us coronation chicken ahead of her landmark celebration in 1953, Charles and Camilla have gone down the vegetarian route as the royal family released their official recipe on 18 April in celebration of the Coronation Big Lunch.

Previously, the infamous curry-inspired chicken dish, which sees chicken mixed with l

TikTokers Are Calling Out the Harmful Body-Shaming Language of 2000s Diet Books

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

As Stacey Solomon's Bikini Photo Is Praised, Why Are we Obsessed With Postpartum Bodies?

History always seems to repeat itself, doesn't it? Stacey Solomon gave birth two months ago to a healthy baby girl, Belle, and is on her first holiday with all five of her children in Abu Dhabi. But instead of fans revelling in the beautiful memories that the "Loose Women" star has chosen to share online, almost all of the comments have been centred around one aspect: her body.

"Gorgeous pics Stacey and thank you for normalising Mum bods," one comment read beneath the post, which saw the 33-yea

I Tried the Supermarket's Weirdest Hot Cross Bun Flavours so You Don’t Have to

I Tried the Supermarket's Weirdest Hot Cross Bun Flavours so You Don’t Have to Aside from the imminent influx of chocolate treats we're all about to gorge on over the Easter weekend, and the newly-released Easter Colin the Caterpillar cake for good measure, let's not forget the broad selection of hot cross buns that have hit supermarket shelves ahead of the bank holiday weekend. While there is still plenty of choice when it comes to the OG hot cross bun, the UK's biggest supermarkets are caterin

The Met Is "Institutionally Racist, Homophobic, and Misogynistic" — How Can We Trust Police Again?

It's been two years since Sarah Everard's tragic murder that rocked the nation in March 2021. Her death, at the hands of serving police officer Wayne Couzens, caused fear, frustration, and outrage that someone in a position of trust and power could commit such a heinous act. Following his arrest and sentencing to life imprisonment, a report was commissioned by The Metropolitan Police into its conduct. The review by Baroness Louise Casey was published on 21 March 2023 and the findings are, quite

Stephen Fry said he feels sorry for straight men because women don’t like sex as much

Last week, Stephen Fry offended much of the transgender community after stating that he didn’t want to ‘abandon’ JK Rowling or his friends in the LGBTQ+ community in regard to her divisive anti-trans views.

And it seems that this isn’t the end of the backlash for Fry, as an unearthed interview saw him taking a swipe at women who supposedly don’t like sex as much as straight men.

Speaking to Attitude Magazine back in 2010, the actor expressed that he felt bad for straight men who worry that ‘th

Why Do People Keep Telling Nicola Peltz To 'Smile'?

Nicola Peltz was the belle of the ball at her to Brooklyn Beckham this weekend, with fans full losing it over her hair, makeup and jaw-dropping dress.

But in a darker corner of the internet, some of the comments thrown her way have been less than flattering.

In particular, Nicola's ‘smile’ has been a topic of discussion for the model on social media for quite some time now, with some apparently taking offence to the fact that the 27-year-old ‘​​doesn't really smile for pictures’.

'Camila Cabello is wrong - you can't be friends with an ex without the sex'

You’re breaking up with the partner you’re desperate to cling onto in some way: perhaps you were friends for a while before you started dating, or maybe you went through a lot together during your relationship. But now, the romantic part of your relationship has come to an end.

Either way, navigating the friend zone after a breakup is hard. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’ll either end in a fight or sex. Both outcomes are messy and complicated, and won’t do you any favours in terms of healing

'Adele's weight has no bearing on her success so please stop obsessing over it'

As a journalist and an all-round fan of Adele’s music, I was ecstatic when the singer made a return to the music industry after her six-year hiatus. But one thing that struck me when she finally resurfaced was the repeated debate surrounding her weight loss.

Last May, the star’s name trended on Twitter after she posted a birthday image to Instagram, sending the internet wild over her “physical transformation”.

Flash forward one year, where Adele racked up 24 million streams for her latest sing
