7 things you NEED to know about hostels
Hostels form an integral part of a back-packing trip across Europe. They are cheap and are usually full of people your own age – handy if you get sick of your travelling companion.
Before you book your stay, there are a few things you might like to know first:
- Hostels are usually located in dodgier areas than advertised. You have been warned.
- The kitchen will usually be occupied by at least 20 others – get used to eating beans… cold… out of the tin.
- If they advertise that the Colosseum is only a five-minute walk away, make sure you factor in the 20-minute train journey that they forgot to mention.
- The best things about hostels are the free maps. Grab one – it’ll come in handy when you have a few too many and can’t remember your way back.
- You are bound to pick up a stray traveller, especially if you spend too long in the lobby.
- You will usually be able to grab a few discounts for restaurants and night clubs. Perfect for when the funds are drying up.
- You WILL end up battling paranoia when you leave your belongings while you go off exploring.
You will also have the time of your life!

Great British Bake Off’s Ruby to publish cookbook
Model, student and runner-up of last year’s Great British Bake Off, Ruby Tandoh, has landed a book deal.
Ruby lost the bake-off title to Frances Quinn, but gained attention with her many tears on the show and an attack by chef Raymond Blanc who said she was “so thin” and made him “doubt of her love for great cooking, baking,”.
We all know chefs have a temper but that was a bit unnecessary!
The book, Crumbs, will be published this year by Chatto and Windus. It has been said that there were up to nine publishers fighting to give her the deal.
Judging by her baking skills on GBBO, this is one book we’ll be adding to our kitchen shelves.

Vanessa Paradis’ hair is gone!
Ok, not all her hair, but the vast majority of it.
It’s a well-known fact that women who go through break-ups often go for drastic changes in their look, so is this Vanessa’s reaction to the rumours of ex-partner Johnny Depp’s engagement to Amber Heard?
Vanessa and Johnny were in a relationship for over 14 years and have two children together, Lily Rose and Jack. The kids were seen on holiday with Depp and his rumoured fiancée last year.
We’re not so sure that we prefer Vanessa’s hair this way, but hair grows and if it made her feel good that is all that matters!

Considering the scale of it! So all I ask of you guys is that you would respect my privacy as I try to recover and get for the where we are tour”.

First date make-up: Dos and Don’ts
Don’t use too much of anything (even if you love your blusher).
The last thing you want is your date to think that you got into a fight with your make-up bag. Less is always more ladies.
Do go for a simple hairstyle.
A side plait or a flirty ponytail can do wonders. If you want nice and relaxed look, then leave your hair down.
Don’t chance your arm.
You might want to do something a little bit special and experiment with new make-up, but let’s just keep the experimenting for a night out with the girls…
Do opt for a natural lip color.
Peach and pale pinks will make you look natural and approachable.
Don’t overdo it with the perfume.
Choose something that’s flirty and lightly scented.
Do carry some blotting paper with you in case your oil glands start acting up.
‘The Greasy One’ isn’t the nickname you want to be remembered by.

Confusing wine terms explained
Wine can be confusing and since there are so many new wine bars opening up everywhere, we decided to do a bit of research. We’re totally going to look clever the next time we order a glass of white.
Here are five words you’re most likely to hear in relation to wine.
1. Breathe
This is when a bottle of wine is opened and left to “breathe” for a certain time before drinking. The purpose of this is to allow the wine to interact with the air, which apparently mellows out the flavours and lets the aroma develop.
2. Decanter
Decantation separates any sediments that may be in the wine, particularly reds. The decanter is the name of the vessel the separated wine is then kept in.
3. Nose
This is simply the smell (aroma or bouquet) from the wine.
4. Old world wine
Old world wines are the wines that originate from countries typically associated with wine production. Think France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc.
5. New world wines
New world wines are wines that are produced in countries less associated with wine production historically, such as the US, Australia, New Zealand and South America or South Africa.
