The gorgeous cover Source: Pegasus Books I was late to everything, it seems. I didn't get my period until I was 15 and I always cheated on those sheets the girls passed around in class that said, "What goes at the end of a sentence AND did you get it yet?"  But I was way behind wearing a bra, too, and the subject of great mockery because I had no strap that boys could snap. Instead, I had "gro-bras" (What a name!), size 32 AAAA, which was just a sheet of stretchy fabric. Yeah, breasts mattered. But then, of course, I grew up, and as soon as I hit my twenties, I was small enough so that I could appreciate my ballerina like body and stop wearing a bra altogether, and I have never looked back. HOW NOT TO BE A ROLE MODEL 2013 Mom, can I get breast implants?” The words made me freeze in my desk chair. I struggled to compose my face into a benign expression before swiveling to greet Chloe in the doorway of my home office. “Hi, hon,” I said, pausing so she could see … [Read more...] about The Power of Breasts

My cider has been in its growlers for not half an hour, and already it’s misbehaving. Specifically, it’s trying to crawl out of one of the airlocks as the fermentation gas leaks out.

Exactly when I started to relax, the cider started to get up to tricks. Disaster strikes Further Reading Store-bought is not enough: My first hard cider homebrew I suspect the cider was creeping out of the jug because it was too warm in my apartment—as I stated in part one, cider optimally ferments at 60-75 degrees, and warmer temperatures will put the yeast in overdrive. I conveniently picked the first week of 80-degree weather in a solid month of moderate-to-crisp autumn temperatures to start … [Read more...] about Homebrewing cider, part 2: We lose control

KATE Garraway likened husband Derek's return home to bringing back a newborn for the first time. Hosting Good Morning Britain today alongside Susanna Reid, Kate revealed she was "overwhelmed and over the moon" to have Derek home after his year-long hospital stay. She said: "I want to thank you so much for your incredible messages. Derek came home Wednesday evening. We sort of feel over the moon and overwhelmed in equal measure. It is quite an overwhelming responsibility. "Do you remember the day you bring home your firstborn, and you've been planning for nine months, you get home and think 'what the heck do we do now?' Completely overwhelming and wonderful." Derek was left in a coma for months after being ravaged by coronavirus complications that caused his organs to shut down. It is hoped the return home and the regular stimulation of his family will help aid Derek's recovery. Kate continued: "And they [kids] have been absolutely loving it and been really helpful. … [Read more...] about Kate Garraway likens Derek’s return home to bringing back a newborn for the first time as she’s left ‘overwhelmed’

A SAVVY mum has revealed why spring is the perfect time to revamp your finances as she shares her money-saving tips and tricks to help others. Samantha Edwards, 29, from Manchester, has already earned more than £500 this year - just from using cashback, where you get a percentage of the amount it cost paid back to you - and is always looking for new ways to be thrifty and utilise her expenses.
