If you watched the Black Friday madness in the States last week—a horrifying inversion of the Occupy movement: people camping out in the streets, buying pepper spray and using it on fellow shoppers or even shooting at them—you got a sharp reminder that holiday sho...

This past weekend I defied the odds and went to the gym.Please, please, hold your applause.While huffing and puffing away on the cross trainer, Beyoncé’s “Girls” came on, and it made me up my speed and even put on a game face. There may have been some slight hip wiggles going on. I was impressed with myself, perhaps even a little bit smug. There’s just something about the question “Who run this mutha?” that really gets the adrenaline going.

Last week the highest court in the UK awarded Patricia Jones 90% of a property she shared with her boyfriend Leonard Kernott. Jones won her challenge of a Court of Appeal ruling which originally gave her ex an equal share of the home's value, even though she has been paying the mortgage on it for the last 13 years.

It’s that time of year again. When we’re all convinced to buy over-priced perfume, copious amounts of toblerone and jumpers with novelty animals on the front. Yes, it’s Christmas.Well, almost...which means it’s time to indulge in some retail therapy and vegging out in front of Love Actually for the fifth year in a row. But beyond the confectionary and polyester sweaters is the pure stress of buying the gifts for love ones.

As the holidays approach, we urban yuppies must make the controversial decision: to travel or not to travel.My family always expects me to be home for the holidays – especially Christmas, which I have never missed. I find this expectation quite unrealistic. After all, I live in America, land of the two-weeks-vacation-per-annum. Most people don’t have enough vacation days to burn a week of them over Christmas in the suburbs where they grew up, much less want to use half of their vacati...

The internet is full of advice on how to have better relationships. How can I please him? What does she really want? How do we make it work? The strange thing is… it's mostly based around romantic relationships. However, some of the things we should be more aware of to make them work, also help with friends and family too.

I gave up gluten because it makes me feel like shit.I can tell I’m allergic to wheat the same way I can tell that I’m allergic to perfume: my body screams in rejection every time we come into significant contact. After a meal rich in wheat, the reaction begins with bloat – immediate and uncomfortable. Next, an upset stomach - mild but persistent. Then come the sharp pains, like someone stabbing me in the intestine. If these warnings, which have grown sharper with age, are not heeded, ...

It’s that time of year again. No, not Autumn. Not Halloween. Not even Christmas shopping.It’s Man Flu season. I know. I'm sorry.Listen carefully on the morning train, you’ll hear a distinctly male chorus of coughs. They won’t be serious coughs, there will be no rattling of phlegm, but they will be dramatic. So dramatic, in fact, you will wonder how they even mustered up the strength to get themselves up in that morning.
