Subscribe to Mamamia

In 2023, we know our weight has nothing to do with our self-worth… but what if the less you weighed, the more you earned at work? That’s what happened to Emily Ratajkowski after a period of stress-induced weight loss and now she’s calling out the industry but, is it hypocrisy or progress?

Plus, there’s some very serious arguments advocating the installation of CCTV across childcare centres. Will their inclusion lead to better child safety standards, or erode our trust in educators?

And… do you need to justify a ridiculous purchase? Simply employ the genius of girl math. Clare teaches us how.
