SUNDAY SPECIAL: Mia Recommends Getting Your Colours Done This Party Season

An article on GOOP has turned the idea of 'not being busy' into a badge of honour. But is it an enormous privilege to not be busy? Is busyness really a choice and are some people just busy as a personality trait? Parents, in particular, have no choice about busyness. Plus, our resident Dating Expert Em Vernem shares a Cosmo list with us, about 'how to tell if someone likes you'. The list is made up of different dating habits, plenty which made us roll our eyes, but a few were interesting. And, our best and worst of the week, including a shout out to teachers everywhere and a nasty note on Jessie's car.

Vagina sunning has become a thing, after a Brazilian model caused a stir on social media, for suggesting you should engage in a practice that would involve exposing your...erm...bits...to some vitamin D. If this sounds familiar it’s because just last year butthole sunning, which is the official term, became a fixture of wellness culture. Influencers claimed that exposing your butt can greatly improve energy levels and sleep patterns. Plus, the evolution of Holiday Nicole - If you don’t know what or who that is, ask yourself, who has organised your festive get-together this year? And, do we feel sorry for Prince Charles?
