Are you tired of it yet? Tired of it being the only thing your boyfriend talks about. Tired of all your favourite bars having been taken over by people shouting at a screen. The World Cup is clearly the Eurovision for guys. It can be pretty entertaining, but enough is enough. Thankfully you don't have to sit through it all. With some clever planning you might actually be able to ignore it altogether.

If I got pregnant, and skipped off to my first antenatal appointment, and was asked if I smoked, I’d say no. I’d then expect to be left alone to take folic acid and play Mozart to my stomach. I would not expect some doctor to whip out a breathalyser to check I’m not lying.The National Institute for Clinical Excellence has suggested exactly that. They want pregnant women to be given breath ...

So, after finally divorcing Ashley Cole, Cheryl Cole, er, Tweedy is now going back to using her maiden name. Granted, Tweedy isn’t nearly as catching as Cole, but at least girlfriend isn’t using Ashley's name anymore. The Daily Mail point out that this sudden name change isn’t exactly a good time, ...

Cellulite, the scourge of the modern women. It is possibly the number one issue that women have especially as the days get hotter and the prospect of baring their legs looms nearer. The weekly trash mags love to hi-light it on celebrity bodies – making them ‘more real’. Don’t get me wrong, in this day and age where airbrushing pictures is so de rigeur that we have a distorted view of perfection, I would be lying if I said seeing cellulite on an otherwise ‘supposedly’ perfect body didn’...

Live to Create is the brainchild of Royal Academy fellow, Lucy Wills. I was invited down to the latest workshop held at the retro ‘Time for Tea’ in London’s Shoreditch.I wasn’t sure to expect to be honest, the venue whilst quaint was pretty dark and the buzz of Shoreditch didn’t quite match the stillness inside. It was the hottest day of the year, and as a sunshine junkie, I was wishing, to start off, that I was lolling in the park licking an icecream. Fortunately for the second half o...

The other night I joined my intrepid editor for the launch of Starbucks's new Discoveries drinks, who partnered with Mills & Boon for the evening. The publishing giant apparently conducted a study that demonstrated that most women found it difficult to carve out time for themselves on a daily basis. I'm sure this comes as a surprise to few of us over-achieving, workaholic,...

It’s been the week of sneezing and runny noses in my part of the world. No it’s not a summer cold, it’s the dreaded hayfever. The plane trees in London are dispatching their torpedo pollen that gets everywhere, up the nose, in the eyes, even in the throat. It’s really quite nasty, making the mistake of rubbing your eyes can be detrimental to your day.

My name is Lauren and I have Clinical Depression. I have for years and years, ever since the hormones of my teenage years kicked in and suddenly the world got very hard to handle. Whilst still being a happy funny girl on top of everything, underneath I was battling with a nightmare, with an undercurrent of darkness that was ruining my enjoyment of everything, and making me want to give up on life.

No one can have missed the news last year that top German magazine Brigitte banned professional models. I was amazed that a popular publication was taking such a big step to prove to its readers that it understands them and their bodies, but what happened in other countries? Well, seemingly nothing if you look at the newspaper headlines rather than on the newsagent's shelves...
