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!

We’d love to be the kind of people who could turn an old tea towel into an amazing floral hairband or some such, but we just don’t have the skills. That’s not to say we don’t try when we see these amazing upcycled pieces of furniture and household items! Check out these seven amazing upcycling projects!

Have a lot of old books lying around? Why not glue them altogether and make a table? It looks so easy – but sadly, we suspect it’s not.

If you can’t find a spoon in your drawer because of the excessive amount of forks, perhaps you could turn a few into coat hangers? You don’t have to be Uri Geller to try this one!

Isn’t is sad how all those Christmas biscuit tins get thrown out in January? Not anymore! Turn them into a matching set of biscuit tins for everyday use, or keep them Christmassy like this person did! Blake Lively, eat your heart out.

Again with the books – but how cool is this plant IN a book? No one will be in any doubt about your creative mind when they see this!

Stamp collectors – listen up! Stick your stamps to a glass jar and put a candle in it to show them in all their glory – so cool!

If you have enough jewellery to fill a suitcase, then this is for you! So pretty!

Bring a whole new meaning to ‘tea lights’! We don’t know how they did this one – but it is most definitely the perfect way to add some rustic charm to your kitchen!

Marilyn Monroe died 53 years ago today at only 36-years-old, but her famous blonde hair and red lipstick look has never gone out of style. Here is a handful of stars who have tried to recreate the look – though we’re not sure if anyone will ever pull it off as well as Marilyn herself!

Gwen Stefani
The singer admitted that she is such a fan of the late star, that she found out how often she did her roots: “I do my roots as often as Marilyn Monroe did hers. I'm serious. I found out.”

Christina Aguilera
Christina has had some ker-AZY hairstyles over the years, but our favourite has to be her platinum blonde hair with red lipstick.

Michelle Williams
The actress portrayed Marilyn in the film My Week With Marilyn, and we don’t think they could have chosen anyone better to play the role. She looked amazing!

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga dressed up as Marilyn to celebrate the actress’s birthday in 2011 and shared the photo on Twitter saying: “Happy birthday, Marilyn. They'll never take our blonde hair and lipstick.”

Rihanna
In her music video for ‘Pour It Up’, Rihanna dressed up as Marilyn. Her song ‘Love Without Tragedy’ also pays tribute to the star with the lyrics: “Red lipstick, rose petals, heartbreak, I was his Marilyn Monroe.”

Imagine being told you are too fat to run. The sheer humiliation might have been enough to put you off exercise for life but not Julie Creffield.

In 2003, when she was completing her first short race, Julie was 300 pounds and struggled to get to the finish line. To add insult to injury a young person shouted fatty as she finally got to the end of the race.

However, instead of taking the insult to heart and giving up on her motivation, Julie has now completed numerous other races including 5ks, 10ks, half marathons and the London and Brighton marathons. But that’s not all, Julie wanted to change the idea of what a runner looks like from being the typical slim with longs legs. As Julies says: “The idea of there being just one type of runner is ludicrous. If you run, you are a runner.”

Julie then set up a blog in 2010 to document her training for her very first marathon but it has subsequently turned into a website, Too Fat To Run, that inspires plus sized women all over to start running too it is the only website of its kind aimed specifically at the larger lady.

So, if you want to run, run – no matter what your bod shape is like.
