Pre-lockdown TikTok was an app I’d heard of but presumed I was 100% not young enough nor cool enough to use. A year on and here I am every single night scrolling through endless videos, sniggering away at myself under the duvet for hours. It’s this very app that’s almost entirely responsible for the latest

Prince Harry has gone and landed himself a *proper* job – at a Silicon Valley startup no less.

What do you think of when you hear the words gospel music? I think there’s a common misconception depending on the person that it’s slow organ pieces with harmonious if not laborious chanting about whatever religious diety you may want to insert. We’ve come a long way since then and if anything gospel has sort

We’ve written about how often you should wash you hair, sheets, towels and even your hairbrush, but following World Sleep Day, it got us thinking: how often should you wash your pyjamas? As Harpa Gretarsdóttir, Fashion Marketing Expert at Icelandic fashion brand, IceWear, explains: “Pyjamas are the only intimate clothing we tend to wear multiple
Ah, Brighton. Easily one of the most popular spots for a weekend break in the UK among Londoners (it’s just an hours’ train ride from London Victoria), this seaside city is bursting with colour and spirit. So it’s no surprise Airbnbs in Brighton are booking up at an alarming rate right now. Staycations are the
Imagine you’re on a date. They walk in and you feel instant chemistry. Intuitively, you can gauge whether they give you the feels. You can’t explain why, it’s just a vibe. Well, crystals work in much the same way. We’re all a bit more open-minded when it comes to alternative therapies these days. In terms
Cyprus recently announced that it will be opening its borders to UK visitors at the start of the summer. Travel abroad from the UK is currently not allowed until 17th May at the earliest, and is subject to review. But as it stands, British tourists can visit Cyprus from 1st April ‘with a new system
Whether you’re fully silver or have shots of sparkle speckled through your hair, greys are beautiful, natural and increasingly popular. Over lockdown, we’ve all become a lot more familiar with our natural colour. And we’re more than happy to rock it. If that sounds like you, you’re in famous company. At last years Golden Globes,
This time last year, when we all went into the first lockdown, no one could have predicted the unprecedented devastation and havoc the Covid-19 pandemic would wreak across the world. It has been a global war against this invisible enemy and our brave soldiers on the front line have been our key workers, mainly in
Warning: every inch of this article contains spoilers. Everyone remembers the first time they saw The Sixth Sense. Viewers are lulled into a false sense of uncertainty during most of the film, believing it to simply be a scary-ish film about a kid who “can see dead people”. Little did we know that we were
Let me start by saying this: My friends are the single most important thing in my life. I’ve had the same group of friends since I was a kid. They are my soulmates. I wrote an entire novel about the power of female friendship, and dedicated it to brilliant, smart, hilarious, kind and totally batshit
Maybe you’re already au fait with the old hair dye. Maybe you’ve already rocked most shades on the colour wheel, or maybe, you’ve yet to take the plunge. We get it, cray-cray hair colours look incredible, but they can require a whole heap of confidence and a fair amount of commitment to pull off. But,
Believe it or not, it’s already been one year since Joe Exotic was unleashed on the world … and the man himself is dropping a footwear collection from behind bars to celebrate. The shoes are part of Joe’s “Revenge” collection with streetwear brand Odaingerous … and they come with all the usual Exotic flair, like
As we transition our wardrobes into the warmer months, there’s one outfit essential I just cannot stop buying. And that’s the bodysuit. The unsung hero of my every outfit, bodysuits can see you through daytime, noon and night – sans any effort or very much thought at all. And, somehow, I keep finding myself placing
It’s been a few years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s October 2018 Australia royal tour, but one accessory to emerge from the trip has remained steadfast: the effortlessly chic Veja sneakers the Duchess of Sussex sported on a boat in Sydney. As anyone else who’s ever waited for a restock of Veja’s core styles
As any new parent will tell you, what you gain in love, hormones and nappies, you lose in sleep. “Sleep now while you can!” is the most popular advice I’ve received since falling pregnant – and as someone who is blessed with a solid 8 hours every night, I am terrified of what lies ahead.
There’s no better time than a national lockdown to test out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a snazzy new hair treatment or at-home facial system, only to find out it
It’s no understatement to say that the second series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is the TV show that has kept us going through Lockdown The Third, and for that, Mama Ru, we are eternally grateful. Tonight, we see four queens – Ellie Diamond, Lawrence Chaney, Tayce and Bimini Bon Boulash – battle it out to be
There are few bags that stand the test of time better than a Chanel. Specifically, the Chanel 11.12 comes to mind when one even thinks of an iconic style. Colloquially known as the flap bag, the design first came on the scene in the ‘80s, when Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the house’s signature 2.55 (which was
Along with the numerous other challenges presented by lockdown, it seems that everyone I know is in a serious cooking slump of late. It could be due to the monotony of cooking yet another meal (remember restaurants?), the ongoing clean-up of pots and pans, or the realisation your cooking *actually* just isn’t that good. But
If the name Emerald Fennell isn’t yet familiar to you, it’s about time you took note.

You know the drill: the sun is shining, you’re meeting your mates for an al-fresco dinner/picnic in the park – and you’re dying to wear that backless dress you purchased months ago. The only problem? You don’t feel comfortable going bra-less. No way, Jose. Or how about scenario number two… You’ve purchased a linen number
Rowan Blanchard was woke before we even knew what being awake meant. By the age of 13, the bubbly actress was a keynote speaker at UN Women’s HeForShe conference. In 2014, she openly discussed her struggles with depression, creating a public discourse around destigmatizing mental illness, and in 2017, she spoke at the Women’s March
Whether it’s dictating our life choices, spending habits, hairstyle or even our skincare regime, our star sign can be super influential in how we live our life. And GLAMOUR’s resident astrologist, Emma Howarth, says that you can use your star sign to influence your sartorial choices, too. Obviously it’s all just a bit of a
Happy Women’s History Month to all, although in our eyes we should be celebrating women and all the ways we made ‘his’tory every single day. Still, this month is a great opportunity to remind us all of the amazing things women bring to the table, and that’s if they’re not the ones bringing THE damn
Rihanna skipped out on the Grammys this year and hasn’t dropped an album in 5 years, but rest assured, she’s doing just fine … and the proof’s in her new pad. The singer and Fenty Beauty founder is the new owner of a Beverly Hills mansion in a celeb-centric cul-de-sac … where she’ll count her
Apparently it’s Spring, who knew? After what felt like the longest winter of all time (seriously, January and February felt like an entire year), the promise of warmer weather is very welcome news. But looking out my window as I write this, it’s chucking it down with rain, I’m wearing two jumpers, and I have
