Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?

Bees. Honeypot. That is me when I see articles called things like 12 Stay Young Secrets. You can read the original post here, but I've summarised it for you. How many weeks an hour do you exercise?Ideally 2.5 hours. Yay I do that which [...]

It’s my big arse that makes me forget things

I'm a pear. Pear shaped. Peary. I don't like pears. I want to be an apple. Empire lined dresses were invented for apples. I love empire lined dresses. What do we pear shapes get? Bootleg jeans!--which are just plain wrong in a sea of skinny [...]
