CBD has become a popular health trend that has been gaining major supporters. Supporters of this trend are trying to prove that CBD is not a drug. Hemp to Wellness even classifies it as a dietary supplement and believes that a daily dose of CBD can improve your overall well-being. But not everyone knows what CBD is, which is why there is skepticism on using it, to begin with. Educating…

Gambling for a living might seem, at least to some, like a dream come true, notably if you enjoy the world of online gambling and making a bit of money on the side. But, once upon a time, the words “professional gambler” didn’t make us imagine the luxurious and attractive side we know today. Instead, gambling carried the stigma of a money-grabbing hobby reserved for those unscrupulous players who didn’t…

Some girls breeze through their period every month hassle-free. They have virtually no symptoms of PMS, bleed only lightly and bound around like it’s Christmas. For the rest of us, periods can feel like the world is ending; you feel totally lousy, you snap at your boyfriend for no good reason, and you cry at the drop of a hat. Although you might dread the arrival of your monthly visitor,…

We’ve all heard the famous Neale Donald Walsh quote: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. For a long time when I heard or saw this phrase somewhere I’d dismiss it right away; I mean, what’s fun about being uncomfortable? Isn’t life meant to be all about staying safe and at ease? Lately though, I’ve come to realise that perhaps good old Neale was onto something. Maybe the…

People are always banging on about how important exercise is for… everything.  Perhaps one of the biggest and most-touted benefits of doing regular physical activity is that it increases happiness. Yep, exercise = better mood. Duh! We get it! But before you click that little ‘x’ at the top of the page, take a look at what actually happens in your brain after a 20 minute walk: Significant chemical changes…

Is Brazilian waxing to blame for the rise in demand among Australian young women for labiaplasty? Melbourne GP Magda Simonis told the ABC last week that the trend for young women in particular to remove all hair from their vulvas was leaving many self-conscious about the appearance of their labia, even when they looked clinically normal. Dr Simonis, who has consulted with patients as young as 17 seeking referrals for…

I’ve always found it fascinating to listen to boys talk about their penises. From a young age, it seems like they are taught to be very well-acquainted with their junk. Whether it’s bragging about how far they can pee, coming up with questionable pet names, or just letting the world know how many times they’ve wanked today, dick conversations are always on the table. Maybe it’s because our bits tend…

Making your own clothes is the best. Once you get a hang of it (and I promise you that it’s not hard, I’m an entirely self-taught sewer – thank you, YouTube tutorials!), you get total control over the design and structure of your clothes. You’ll own a completely unique piece of clothing and best yet, if someone compliments you on it, you can say that you made it yourself! Things…

Nancy Tucker devised a fiendish system of plastic bags and shorts with removable weights. All her energy was spent on putting together clever schemes to deceive her friends and family, teachers and doctors. Day after day, she didn’t eat a thing. Tucker’s memoir The Time In Between is a painful yet artful account of the throes of anorexia, and later, bulimia. Painful is the right word because when Tucker describes…
