Everyone dreams of being a great hostess. Well, not everyone actually – I know plenty of people who hate nothing more than the idea of pandering to every awkward guest’s whim, cleaning up after them and having to prepare all that food. However, many people do like the idea of throwing splendid parties that everyone enjoys, cooking scrumptious foods for the guests at dinner, or creating an event that has everyone talking for months.

"Men, hey, they're stupid".If the recent advertising trend would have it, I've just said enough to sell any product to the female of the species. Case in point: Oven Pride's "so easy, a man can do it" day-time smasher; which is so odious that it prompted nearly 700 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority.

I just watched last week’s episode of 30 Rock and for the first time ever I found a gag on the usually spot-on show not just “not as funny as it could be” but categorically unfunny. The future of the pay-per-view porn company that buys NBC is saved by Alec Baldwin’s brilliant, revolutionary new idea of...Porn For Women (because women, who hate porn are the perfect untapped market)!

There are tons of alternative therapies out there. According to some they work, to others they're just cynical ways of scamming gullible people out of their money.I'm on the fence and have therefore paid a fair share of money to different alternative therapists over they years. All in the name of research of course. How else could I find out if I actually have energy centers (chakras) in my body? Although so far the evidence has been inconclusive.

I know better than to mention the B-word on the Internet. (Oh, alright – it’s ‘breastfeeding’). The hot potato of the ‘is breast best’ debate rages online, with howls of protest on either side and plenty of nonsense shovelled in for good measure. For a while, it looked like the next contender for Most Irritating Discussion on Any Given Mums Forum was going to be over home births, low-intervention labour and medically-assisted births, but since how that all pans out is largely down to t...

I have 380 friends on Facebook. And up until two weeks ago, my boyfriend was not one of them.Sounds crazy, right? It was.I mean, he’s Gen Y (cusp, but still passing), he’s tech-savvy (the man works in IT), and he’s far more sociable than I am. But for some reason (or twelve), he didn’t want to join the biggest, most influential online movement of our time.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Why? Because it breaks the compulsory eating ‘cease and desist’ order placed on the body when it sleeps. Sleep is essential for the body to heal and repair itself, which is why it is so important to re-fuel within an hour of waking. And by that I mean eating, not having a coffee or a cup of tea to give yourself the energy to crowbar yourself out of the door and into the car or onto the train.

Just when we thought the beauty industry couldn’t sell us anymore crap we don’t need, some helpful soul has dreamt up foot fish spas. That’s right, spas where fish eat your feet. I am not even shitting with you.Apparently the little fish things eat all the dead skin but they leave the healthy bits, so don't be afraid. They’re already popular in the Far East where they’re good for dealing with s...

I didn’t think I’d have to deal with this only four and a half months into my pregnancy. After all, at least two shop assistants (we’re on the stroller round) have told me I “don’t look pregnant yet” and even my mother kindly pointed out there was probably “more tummy than baby”. But it turns out babies come with built in hand magnets.

Do you ever cringe at all those girls whose sole aim in life seems to be either becoming a Page Three model (that's basically a Playboy Bunny for you non-Brits) or the girlfriend of a footballer? Ever wondered where those ideas come from, why so many girls out there seem to just aspire to nothing more than beauty, fake tits and a new designer handbag every week? Well look no further, it might just be brainwashing.
