When we're hungry, it's simple — we eat. When we're thirsty, we drink. But what about when you just want to and need to be touched? There are no touch cafés. Touch doesn't come as a gift with purchase at the Lancôme counter. And if you're not in a romantic relationship, how do you fill up your touch tank to full?

I underwent a wrist operation a couple of weeks ago, which has rendered me useless in the exercise department. I’m not a fan of gyms and tend to do exercise as part of my daily grind; i.e. cycling or more measured exercise such as yoga. Unfortunately both of these have been banned for a good few months by my surgeon due to the trauma they would create, hindering on my wrists total recovery. As luck would have it, I came across The Guardian & Observer’s free booklets on walking and ...

Earlier this week, the results of a survey on rape and blame were announced, which Hannah Mudge covered for BitchBuzz News. It was quite simply astounding to discover that: "The majority of women surveyed believed that some rape victims should take responsibility for what happened to them."

When my boyfriend asked me to marry him over a year ago, I was under the illusion that all we needed was love. Now I know that a few grand doesn’t go amiss either…We’ve tried to cut out all unnecessary extras, but short of not inviting any guests to your big day, weddings are always going to be expensive. And guests are, well, necessary – to us anyway. However, there are a few ways by which you can keep the costs from spiralling.

I feel like writing something deep and dark about Valentine’s day. I am actually in a relationship, but I can completely understand the problems people have with a day full of pink feather trims, red roses and copious amounts of glitter – it is recipe for allergies and feather inhalation, if nothing else!

Confession: I believe in love. I believe it comes in all flavors, and I believe there is enough of it in the vastness of the multiverse for everyone. Love between lovers. Love between family and friends. Love of music. Love of life. Love for fictional characters. Love for yourself. Between, of, for...I think it’s the most beautiful thing there is.

If you had to come up with a few examples of what you feel are today’s most important feminist issues, I’m betting that ‘sleep deprivation’ wouldn’t be one of them.But last month, Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post and US Glamour’s Cindi Leive resolved to get a full night’s sleep every day – all in the name of feminism.

Uh-oh. We're coming up to that time of the year again. No, I'm not talking about Christmas or Eurovision-season or March. I'm talking about that one day with so many expectations resting on its shoulders that it's almost impossible not to get disappointed or ignore it. Not even the most cold-hearted cynic out there is immune to it. Because if you live anywhere remotely civilized it's been impossible to miss that this Sunday is Valentine's Day.

Skin is a tempestuous being. You expect it to be fairly temperamental in your teens (though you're led to believe that Oxy will sort it) and then hope it will settle down by the time you reach adulthood, you surely can't get to 26 and still ha regular outbreaks? That's just not on. And I'm not talking about those minuscule time-of-the-month chin ornaments but raging pustules and spots that make you consider calling in sick.

A couple of days ago I stumbled across an article in The Guardian that made me choke a bit on my coffee. Then it made me laugh, then punch a cushion, then laugh some more, then stare blankly into space and fear for the future of humanity.The article in question is about a book called
