When it comes to what you wear to bed, we frankly think that nobody should be judged on it.

Pyjamas, your boyfriend's T-shirt, a onesie, nothing at all – it all depends on what you're comfortable with.

However, this dude, William Hanson, shared his views on the Daily Mail about your "nocturnal wardrobe" and what is appropriate bedroom etiquette, and honestly, it's a load of BS.

For example, if you wear open-back slippers, you apparently look like you live in a brothel… OK, then.

According to William, onesies are a massive no-no: "If you still desire to wear a onesie to bed (or indeed, around the house) then a key part of the weaning process has failed and you need reset to factory settings." 

And, if you sleep starkers, you're 'oversexed': "Those who admit to getting into bed naked are highly suspect, oversexed, and not to be let anywhere near quality bedding."

However, dressing gowns are totally OK, and "no nocturnal wardrobe is complete without a gown. True gentlemen fasten their gowns left over right, whilst genuine ladies fasten them right over left."

And we had to LOL at this one. When it comes to slips or negligées, "if you see a woman wearing one of these, lock up your sons and keep your husbands close." Because we're after ALL the men, right?

When it comes to slippers, they "should have a heel and have ankle support." Heeled slippers? No thank you. "Open-backed slippers, sometimes termed 'mules', have something of the brothel about them."

Clearly, this guy is not from the 21st Century, and thinks that while wearing curlers in your hair is fine, "wearing them to bed is strictly déclassé. Your husband should not see you in rollers. Ever."

I guess my boyfriend wants to run for the hills when he sees my in a raggy T-shirt, with Sudocrem on my spots and my hair a greasy mess, huh?

Pyjamas are grand though, once the colour is "calming and gentle, rather than loud and garish."

Oh, and "one hallmark of class is to have pyjamas monogrammed."

We'll pass on the advice, Willy, thanks.

Pink is set to be 2017's hottest colour, and we could not be happier about that (obviously!).

Considering the fact that it is BALTIC outside, we decided to add a splash of pink to our winter wardrobe.

Mermaid lips (yes, we're serious) are doing the rounds on Instagram, and they are shiny, turquoise and absolutely fantastic. 

While we will admit that they are not exactly an everyday sort of look, we can't help but love them.

The wonderful ladies at Refinery 29 recently did an easy tutorial on how to achieve a gorgeous mermaid lip, and we are THANKFUL.

They explained that you simply "paint on a black liquid lipstick, then place a fish-scale stencil on your bottom lip, and gently pat an iridescent shadow over top."

Sounds relatively easy…

In one of the most exciting beauty announcements of the year (we know we're only two weeks in, but still) MAC has teamed up with a host of high-end beauty influencers to create a social media-styled collection.

10 Instagram beauty bloggers from across the globe will debut their own custom MAC lipstick shades this April.

Influencers are now as popular as top models and celebrities, with leading makeup gurus accumulating millions of followers on Instagram.

Bloggers like Samantha Maria, Tanya Burr and Zoella Sugg have caused makeup products to sell-out after featuring them on their YouTube channels, so it makes sense that MAC would want to team up with such a commodifiable group of beauty lovers.

MAC revealed the face of one of their chosen influencers, Fleur de Force, who has over one-and-a-half million YouTube subscribers.

"It's beyond amazing to have been asked to collaborate with MAC, both because I adore the brand personally, but also for MAC to be acknowledging bloggers in this way. It's their first ever collaboration with influencers, and I feel so honoured to be part of it," the makeup guru wrote on her blog.

The lipstick colours will be named after them, with a hashtag added of course, featuring the bloggers' names, like #MACxFleurDeForce.

So far, it has been revealed that Fleur de Force will be joined by makeup artists Gabriel Zamora and Laura Lee, Kuwaiti influencer TheRealFouz, and Glamour UK Beauty Director Alessandra Steinherr.

MAC was one of the first brands to recognise the potential in social media influencers, and launched a "Bloggers' Favourites" collaboration with nine social media-savvy MUAs back in 2011.

Are you planning a weekend away but have no idea where to start? 

Well ladies, things are about to get MAGICAL up in here! 

The Llety Cynin bed-and-breakfast in South Wales is the Harry Potter destination we've been waiting for, equipped with afternoon tea. 

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of The Philosopher's Stone, this B&B is going fully-fledged Hogwarts, and we're delighted. 

When you arrive with your group, you will all be placed into individual houses (not Slytherin, not Slytherin). 

The venue hosts a twice-weekly "Wizard's Tea event", where they transform the living and dining spaces into Great Halls and Common Rooms (amazing).

They create themed menus that feature Harry Potter-inspired treats like Hot BUTTER BEER. 

We're heading to Wales, muggles!

So, this man believes he has the key to securing dates on Tinder.

Joe Bagel says that he has a 100 percent success rate by using this method, and it guarantees replies from the lovely ladies he's interested in.

And what is this fool-proof method? Acrostics. Yep, Joe writes poems by taking each letter of the girl's name.

For example, with a girl called Kelcie, he wrote "Kosher eggnog leaves Canadians intoxicated effortlessly."

To be fair, it's creative and thinking outside of the box, but apparently, Joe has had 500 replies from doing this, so when it gets to that extent, it could be seen as a bit cringe.

He told Medium: “It’s hard, because oftentimes girls will be so enamoured with the poems that they’ll ask you out themselves."

OK Joe, that must be very hard indeed. We can't blame him from trying, though!

The makers of family favourite breakfast cereal Weetabix have caused social media uproar over their latest serving suggestion.

Clearly hoping to shed its wholesome image and appeal to the poached-eggs-and-avocado Instagram foodie set, the cereal has come up with a creative new way to consume your whole grain breakfast biscuit.

Weetabix are now flogging “Benedict’s eggs” as a viable breakfast option, replacing the muffin with, wait for it, two dry bricks of Weetabix. 

Weetabix is universally known to be one of the driest elements known to human science, and we're not quite sure if a dollop of hollandaise sauce and some egg yolk is enough to change that.

"As an occasional treat, this breakfast will brighten up those winter moments, and Weetabix is a healthy source of iron to complement the protein in the eggs," reads the back-of-the-box suggestion. 

However, people don't seem to agree with this hellish serving style.

Most think that Weetabix should be served the old-fashioned way, drowned in milk with a sprinkle or sugar – maybe even some sliced banana if you're feeling fancy.

But ham and eggs? No thanks.

Beer is something to be enjoyed on a hot summer's day, in a lovely big glass… right?

Well, not if you're drinking this beer, because you would potentially end up in hospital after just one bottle.

Snake Venom is the world's strongest beer, with a 70 percent alcohol content (context: vodka is 37.5 percent)!

The brew is made with smoked Scottish peat malt, and both Champagne yeast and ale yeast.

According to the drink supermarket, the beer "has a sweet, nutty aroma, a fruity flavour and fiery, intense finish."

The beer is EXPENSIVE (of course), setting you back €70 for a 275ml bottle.

2017 has already gifted us with a number of new beauty trends, and it's still only January. 

The latest thing taking over the world of makeup is underliner, and we are totally obsessed with it. 

Think back to the '90s, when you would smudge eyeliner underneath your eye for a more "grunge" look… well it's kind of like that, but cooler.

Amanda Brunker caused an absolute Twitter storm last night when she received Botox on The Late Late Show.

Amanda told Ryan that she "can't understand why people think it's a controversial thing".

"I want to look like a fresher me. I don't want to look different. I don't want to look distorted. I'm 42, I'm not going to pretend to people that I don't get it done, because that's a bit fake."

Listing the procedures that she has had done in the past, Amanda continued: "I've had a boob reduction, I went smaller. It was one of the best things that I ever did. I did get my lips done once – it's sorer than the Botox. I did really like it, I didn't think I would like it.

"Life is very short, and despite what people think, I'm not that vain. I just want to reflect on the outside, a little bit of how I feel on the inside."

The show then continued onto Dr Eithne Brenner coming on stage to administer Botox to Amanda, who was sitting on a stretched chair in the middle of the studio.

However, Twitter was having none of it, and went ape when it became clear that the Late Late dropped a musician from playing to instead administer Botox.

Sorry Amanda, but clearly the whole thing is quite controversial.

Check these bad boys out…

1. MAC Matter lipstick

A classic, and a crowd pleaser. If you are looking for a lipstick that will last, but that will also keep your lips from drying out, MAC is your brand. 'Ruby Woo' is our favourite colour (vibrant red), but there are so many to choose from.

2. NYX Lip Lingerie

The NYX lip lingerie collection is a serious office favourite at SHEmazing HQ. With a gorgeous range of pinks and nudes that won't break the bank, what's not to love?

3. Kylie Lip Kit

Look, we give credit where credit is due, and Kylie Jenner deserves a right pat on the back for her cosmetic collection. The Kylie Lipkit is long-lasting (seriously, it won't come off), and comes in SO MANY fabulous colours. Also, despite the costly shipping fee, Kylie's cosmetics are relatively inexpensive.

4. NARS Velvet Lip Glide

This gorgeous matte has everything, including infused oil to leave your lips smooth and soft. It is available in 13 glorious shades, and you will love them all.

Snatch is going to be a good great show.

Obviously, when we found out that Rupert Grint and Ed Westwick were starring in a series together, we were pretty damn excited, but two seconds into the trailer when we saw Luke Pasqualino grace the screen, we totally lost our minds.

Possibly three of the hottest Englishmen on TV, yes?

Image result for girls swooning gif

But of course, we're interested in the show for more than the guys. While they may be a factor for why we'll tune into the premiere on March 16, the series looks to be pretty explosive.

Rupert plays the role of Charlie, who clashes with Sonny (played by Ed Westwick). Sonny is "just plain naughty" and portrays himself as the bad guy among the cast.

According to Crackle, Snatch centres around “a group of 20-something, up-and-coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of organised crime.

We can't wait for Snatch to hit our screens.
