    Bride loses it after guests ask if there will be a vegan option at her wedding

    Penneys is selling cargo pants for €16 and they come in 4 gorgeous colours

    We’re having a moment with cargo pants. This year has seen the rise of cargo pants and we feel like we’re back in the Avril Lavigne 2002 era of Complicated (we’re not complaining, either).

  • Woman gets a really dodgy haircut… and is still charged €80

    Woman gets a really dodgy haircut… and is still charged €80

    We would absolutely flip. One of our greatest fears in life is going to the hairdressers and it going completely wrong. Whether the colour isn’t what you wanted or the cut is arse ways, it’s one of the most devastating things to happen. And while we might nod and smile and say, “yeah, fab, love […]

Whether it’s the amount of sugar in them or just because they’re the most widely available drinks at parties, it can be difficult to stir them in the direction of […]
