The emotional cycle of a break-up

Uncategorized

May 19, 2014

Break-ups are never easy and often it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. Here are just some of the emotions you will feel after a relationship ends.

1. At first, you’re all like: “I’m freeeeee.”

2. Then whisky sets in

3.Self-pity takes over

4. You purposely say no to social plans just in case your ex is there

5. Then you find out they are already in another relationship!

6. So, you just sit in the dark, cuddling a bottle of wine. Obviously not the best idea.

7. Then you come to the realisation: “It was all THEIR fault!”

8. You try to find closure by deleting them from all social media outlets along with any photo of them anywhere. And their friends too.

9. And you get all of your family to do the same.

10. Then you run into them out of the blue

11. And hooking up is only natural, right?

12. So, what now?

13. And then it all happens all over because there was a reason you broke up in the first place

14. But, after all that, you only wish them the best in life.

Mixed summer berries pudding

May 19, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Summer pudding is much easier to make than you think, and the perfect fruity dessert for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What you’ll need:

750g mixed summer fruit
185g caster sugar
1 medium white bread loaf, slightly stale
2 tbsp blackcurrent cordial

What you’ll need to do:

Place the fruit in a pan, pour the sugar over the fruit and stir gently to mix together.
Place the pan over a moderate heat and bring gently up to the boil.
Cut the bread into thin slices and remove the crusts.
Simmer the juices for about 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in the blackcurrant cordial.
Cut a round out of one slice of bread to fit the bottom of your bowl, then cut the remaining slices into triangular wedges.
Dip one side of the bread circle into the juices in the pan containing the fruit, then place the circle in the bottom of the pudding basin, juice-side down. Do the same with the bread triangles.
Spoon all of the fruit and its juices into the pudding basin. Cover the top of the fruit with more wedges of bread.
Find a saucer that fits neatly inside the bowl. Place it on top to cover the upper layer of bread, then weigh the saucer down with weights – bags of rice, tins of baked beans, or whatever comes to hand. Let it cool, then place in the fridge overnight.
The next day, remove the weights and the saucer. Run a thin blade around the edges, then invert the basin onto a shallow serving plate, before turning the pudding out. Voila!

Nicole Richie is never seen looking anything but pristine and polished these days – but that doesn’t mean she takes herself too seriously!

The designer uploaded this hilarious selfie to her Instagram account with the caption: “I Woke Up Like This. #flawless.”

The photo doesn’t show Nicole’s face but her purple hair looks rather different to normal…

We love that Nicole can make fun of herself, as well as making fun of all the celebrities who take perfect “I Woke Up Like This” selfies.

You know that reaction when you’re seven-years-old and you see people kissing? Well, that was our reaction when we saw Shakira’s recent display of love!

The singer was super excited about her performance at the Billboard Music Awards that she leapt up on her husband Gerard Piqué, wrapped her legs around him and gave him a very lusty smooch.

The two were far from alone however and many people looked a little bit shocked.

Aww, it’s always nice to see a couple so much in love though. Keep up the good work guys!

Is he fantasising about someone else during sex?

Relationships

A new study says that a staggering 57 per cent of men and women admit to fantasising about someone other than their partner when they’re having sex with them.

WHAT?!

Apparently, us ladies are the biggest culprits with 45 per cent admitting to indulging in their fantasy man while getting passionate with their other half.

Who’s yours?

According to the study, a third of all couples (35 per cent) say the most common time they do this is just after they’ve had an argument with their significant other.

But apparently, all this mind-wandering is actually perfectly healthy for your relationship.

Psychologist Dr Pam Spurr said, “Fantasising provides an escape route which helps climax.”

“The fact that women do this more often could be that they feel more shy or inhibited to ask their partner to try a different technique – at least with fantasies, they give women what they need to reach a mind blowing climax without having to ask!”
