When you're a teenager, losing your virginity is often quite a big thing on your agenda. I remember wondering how I'd find a boyfriend, whether it was easy to kiss like they did in the movies and, later on, what on earth I was going to do when it came round to sex. There was always plenty of advice around, but it never seemed to be the right stuff.

If I asked you "do you tell your partner everything?", what would your answer be? If your reply would be "no, not everything" and you sometimes wonder why your significant other isn't a mind reader, perhaps you should stop and think about that for a while. How can they truly know you if you keep secrets?

As the temperatures drop precipitously, I must adjust my wardrobe and habits accordingly. In urban areas like New York, you can’t beat the cold by hopping from the heated seats of a car to the heated office where you work. You can’t even guarantee a heated home. You have to brave the cold, head on.

While everyone is freaking out about losing weight and pretending as though they’re going to run five miles every morning or start going to the gym at 5am, the rest of us are getting on with our every day lives.However, crazy diets and exercise regimes aside, trying to eat a bit healthier isn’t exactly bad idea, is it? I can’t knock people who are trying to eat their five a day or snack on some kale rather than, I don’t know, eight cupcakes. For a lot of people, just making small chang...

I hate to break it to you, but it is over. Put down the Cava, step away from the smoked salmon and face up to facts: all good things have to come to an end.After two weeks of intense festivities, the real world is calling. As a hardened Christmas addict, I find cutting the festive ties particularly painful. Once the decorations have been taken down, I find myself pacing the house wondering where all the magic has gone.

Many bad things are said these days about New Year's Eve. We always assumed it was going to be The Best Night Out Ever, when it usually just ended up being an expensive disappointment, so now many sensible people tend to realise they should probably rein it in a bit. All well and good, but has anyone ever mentioned the hidden dangers of NYE when you're single?

It's the most wonderful time of the year! There'll be much mistltoeing and hearts will be glowing, when loved ones are near... well, if you're Andy Williams, at least! For the rest of us, Christmas can often be a time for arguments with loved ones as we are all thrown together in the name of celebration. Whether we like it or not.

Holidays bring the often trying task of making small talk with people you do not really know, whether they are co-workers in distant cubicles, business acquaintances you've never really had a chance to develop a rapport with or relatives you can't actually recall having met before, or at least not since the age of three. While Oscar Wilde maintained that, "Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative," I say any port in a storm when faced with days of chit chat with ...

Do you have a life plan, or are you one of those people who decides to just see where things take you? Are you ticking things off on a list, or are you constantly re-evaluating what you want and need? As kids, many of us plan out our future life - e.g. school, college/university, job, marriage, house, kids - but then there comes a time when you start questioning that plan. But we all still need to know where we're heading, right?

Do you know what HIV is and how it is transmitted? Do you know if you have it? Do you even know if you're at risk? As the Act Aware campaign has reminded us on the week of World Aids Day, knowledge of HIV is on the decline despite the fact it's very important for protecting yourself and your partner. So, what can we do?
