Some people just never know when to take holidays. Seriously, it's like they're allergic to putting their feet up and relaxing - while the rest of us like to enjoy holidays abroad or a nice little staycation. But did you know that being lazy is actually more healthy than toiling…

We've all cultivated morning routines. That might include going to the gym, taking a shower, cooking breakfast, walking the dog, yelling at the cat, or just looking at BS on the internet until you can't put off going to work any longer. Everybody's different, but there's one simple thing we…

Kids can be a real handful sometimes, can't they? When they're not glued to the TV screen or hogging the family computer, they're often racing around the house or getting under your feet at the worst possible times. In an ideal world, they'd be able to enjoy the same things…

Though they may have different levels of severity, pretty much all illegal drugs reached their prohibited status because they were believed to be a danger to those who used them. Even so, people still seek out and use those drugs - and sometimes they might not be aware of the…

A good night's sleep can do you wonders, but many people don't prioritise their shut-eye - while others don't have the luxury of maintaining a healthy sleeping pattern. Often, stress from your personal and work life can affect how much sleep you get, while awkward hours and long shifts can…

They say that variety is the spice of life, but what does that make spicy food the life... of variety? Yeah, that sounds kind of plausible, I guess. Put that on a T-shirt! Not all of us can properly enjoy spicy food while others take inexplicable pride in stuffing eight…

It's fair to say that when it comes to personal grooming, there are a lot of double standards between genders, particularly when it comes to the issue of body hair. Yes, even in 2018, men are allowed to be as hairy as Chewbacca with beards thicker than a privet hedge.…

Try as we might, we can't help but make excuses for piling on the pounds. I'm certainly guilty of it. Any excuse for me to binge on junk food and lie vegetating on the couch is good enough for me. I've attributed my own pot belly to various different causes, such…
