When you make a drastic change to your hair it can take some getting used to, and never is this truer than when you get a shorter haircut.

There always comes a point, after the brief honeymoon period, when you regret your choice and remember how easy you had it before. To think, there was a time when you didn't wake up looking like you'd been blasted with a wind machine for two hours straight.

Don't panic though, in time you'll grow to love your new chopped 'do… Here are some easy styles to help you along!

1. The low bun
This is a really sleek look that's elegant and deceptively simple. Comb your hair and make a side parting. Gather all the hair at the back, towards the nape of your neck, and tie and a tight bun. Leave the wispy strands for a softer look, or pin them in. A classic look that's perfect for a formal event!

2. The twisted bun
Another great option if you want to look super-fancy without trying! Brush to remove knots, and gather your hair at the back. Twist the hair from the bottom, rolling it to about half way up your head. Pin the twisted hair at the back of your head. A brooch or hairpiece would look stunning with this style!

3. The messy bob
Dianna Agron has this subtly messy look down to a T. Can we have your hair please, Dianna? If you want to achieve this style at home, start by applying texturising paste to your hair when it's just been towel-dried. Then blowdry – if your hair is naturally straight don't use a brush when drying. When dry, straighten in 2-inch segments, flipping the hair out at the end. If you have a fringe, sweep it to the side.

4. The faux updo
Very Imedla May! This look is an easy way to add volume to short hair. Start with dry hair and spray some dry shampoo for grip and volume. Tease you hair at the crown, smooth it over with a comb and pin it at the back of your head, ensuring there's lots of volume. Then pin the sides of your hair back so they blend with the back. PIn any extra stands too so there's no hair falling onto your neck. You can leave this look as it is, or add a silk scarf like this lady for extra sass!

By now, selfies are pretty much the glue that holds the internet together. No Facebook or Instagram feed is complete without a pouty close-up picture or twenty. How will anyone know how cool your outfit was if you don't nip into the bathrooms at work to take a cheeky mirror selfie?

Kim Kardhashian has even cashed in on the selfie obsession, with plans to release a book containing a whopper 352 pictures… of herself.

The problem with selfies though, it that they are kind of… well… lonely. Sure, your picture might get tons of likes, but is sitting in your room snapping picture after picture of yourself really the best use of your time?

A new campaign hopes to encourage people to involve others in their selfies, inspiring social media users to "get out there, be social, and take a #selfwe." The organisers, Colin and Sam, describe "selfwe" as "a word that embodies friendship and inclusion… a word that is easy to understand. A word that doesn’t totally suck."

A cute idea, but could it take off? Well, the guys are aiming for 10,000 selfwes in total before moving "into the next phase of our experiment"… very mysterious! They already have a pretty packed Instagram feed full of submissions from followers.

There's the obligatory holiday selfwe…

This amazing rollercoaster selfwe…

The "howiya Guard" selfwe…

And of course, the one that started it all!

We love this idea! Time to get snapping!

It’s official – Joey  Essex and Sam Faiers are back together once again.

The on-off couple were pictured for the first time since their rumoured break-up while on holiday in Marbella only a few weeks ago.

 Both Joey and Sam remained unusually quiet amidst the rumours that their relationship was over – but these photos seem to prove they are well and truly loves up once again.

Sam even shared a photo with her followers of her and her boyfriend looking very dapper on her Instagram account recently – though we can’t say we’re mad about Joey’s new man bun…

Kirsten Dunst stars in a great new video about how the selfie culture affects a familiar face.

The video shows two girls who, without even asking, take photos with her and then don’t even talk to her.

Kirsten tells the girls “you can ask me a question” but as they already have their selfie – all they want her to do is tag them.

As the girls drive away they remember all of the great movies Kirsten has been in – but didn’t bother to talk to her about.

Has the selfie culture gone so out of control that we don’t even treat celebrities like real people anymore?

This certainly makes it seem that way, doesn’t it?

Going to the gym just isn't for anyone – some people love it and some loathe it. Exercise is essential for our mental and physical health, we get it. 

1. Removal
Must get out of these pajamas and off the couch. We will not be succumb to this relaxation anymore. NO – I’ll go now.

2. Dress Code
What to wear, what to wear. Queue raking through your wardrobe for 20 minutes.

3. Transport
If you have to get the bus there will be less of a chance you will go. If you have a car or are getting a lift it will be slightly easier. The whole way there you’re trying to procrastinate and if there’s anything you can remember you have to do instead – you will do it. No luck so far and you arrive at your destination.

4. Arrival
Get out your gym membership card and off you go. You are starting to feel happy you have made this decision. You get to the changing room and scope out the room. This locker looks good – ah there is something in it. This one – oh it’s taken. That one – ah yes finally. You put a lock on it because no one will be taking your new iPhone. iPod out, water filled, “LET’S DO THIS!”

5. Machine Referral
Good it isn’t too packed. "Oh God is that…it is. oh no no no no." Just hide behind behind the bodybuilders and they won't see you.

6. Work Out
Your warrior name is Beyoncé. Embody this determination and soldier on – you can finish this. Next stop the bike. I am an independent woman.

7. Sweating Dilemma
You look like a tomato in a warm country – but soldier on this is HEALTH.

8. Embarrassing Moment
Okay okay, so you did a Bridget Jones and fell off the bloody exercise bike. Not many people saw so it’s all good.

9. Staff Encounter
“Excuse me, where is your towel?” “Oh, sorry, I must have left it at home. I completely forgot it”. “Don’t let this happen again it is unhygienic.” Eek!

10. Finishing Line
1 more minute and you are free. 60, 59, 58, 57, 25, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. YESSSS – It still counts.

Staying positive is sometimes easier said than done, but this American football player could definitely teach us a thing or two! 

High school student Apollos Hestler was interviewed after his team, the East View Patriots, won their game by just one point. "Well, at first we started slow, we started real slow," he admits. "And you know, that's all right, that's okay, because sometimes in life, you're gonna start slow. That's okay." Any chance we could employ you as a life coach, Apollos?

He also gives some advice for getting through difficult times: "It's going to be all right. Just keep smiling."

We recommend bookmarking this video to listen to any time you're having a bad day!

Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner has revealed that he is actually a married man in a recent interview!

Jeremy and Sonni have one child, daughter Ava Berlin who was one in March.

Wow – congratulations you guys, that’s lovely news!

Before you say it, Mean Girls 2 doesn’t count. As far as we’re concerned, that never even happened.

Now though a real Mean Girls sequel could be on the cards, with Lindsay Lohan promising to “harass Tina [Fey] to write it”.

Yes, yes, 1000 times yes. Tina Fey can do no wrong in our eyes so if she’s on board, then we will be camping out in front of the cinema to watch a new Mean Girls film.

Lindsay made the suggestion in a Time Out interview this week, maybe in an effort to recapture what was inarguably the peak of her career.

When asked about Mean Girls the 28-year-old actress replied, “People really love the movie: how do you top that?”

“I was with Tina Fey the other day and I said we should do another Mean Girls, like an older version where they’re all housewives and they’re all cheating. That would be really funny.”

That is SO fetch.

If you’re in a steady relationship, you’ve probably considered the possibility of moving in together. You might think it’s a great idea, or the thought might scare the bejeezus out of you.

Whatever your feelings, living together is not a step to enter into lightly… but it could be the best thing the two of you ever do.

Here are some glaring neon signs that you and your other half are ready to make the move!

1. All your stuff is at his place anyway
Clothes, toothbrush, phone charger… they all have a rightful place on his bedroom floor. On the odd night that you do end up sleeping at your own house, you spend hours searching for something, anything, to wear to work tomorrow. Does anyone have a spare bra?!

2. You haven’t seen your housemates in weeks
You make a quick dash home after work to grab some essentials but aside from that you and your roomies are like trains in the night. You’re really just paying rent for a place to store things, if we’re being honest. Or, if he spends most of his time at your place, the same is true for him. The invisible housemate strikes again!

3. The two of you have your special TV shows
God forbid you’d watch an episode of Game of Thrones when he’s not around – the show is only to be viewed when the two of you are cuddled up on the couch together. No exceptions!

4. You don’t share a house (yet) but you do share other things
Be it a combined food shop at Tesco, a Nespresso machine that was “his” Christmas present from you, or even a joint bank account, the fact that you’re sharing other parts of your life means the two of you would probably transition very smoothly into sharing rent, bills, laundry and other boring household things. Even if you still refuse to share your chocolate with him…

5. You’ve had a BIG argument…and survived
All couples argue. Trust us. Even the ones who say they don’t… they do. We promise. And if you haven’t had a bust-up yet, you can be certain it’ll happen when you move in together! 

If the two of you have had a big argument and have come out the other end stronger as a result, you know you’ve got what it takes to live in close quarters.

6. You happily slob around in your pyjamas with no make-up on
We agree that all relationships need an element of mystery, but there comes a time when you can let your guard down a bit! When you feel okay about waking up hungover beside him without making a dash for your make-up bag, or when you’ll gladly throw on tracksuit bottoms and fluffy socks in his presence, you know you’re onto something special.

7. The two of you know when to give each other space
It’s easy to get some time apart when you each have separate apartments to go home to, but things become a little more complicated when you’re sharing a one-bed flat.

Knowing when to take some time out from each other is key – whether that means having your own space within your new home, or giving him the living room for the night so he can have the lads over. As long as the two of you are mindful of each other’s needs, moving in together will be a breeze.
