New research has revealed that nearly three-quarters of men have no idea the lengths their wife or girlfriend goes to look her best. The study found most men are completely oblivious to the extensive beauty routine their other half goes through on a daily basis, with waxing or bleaching of moustaches among the pampering habits which escape men as well as extensive plucking of eyebrows, nose hair and chin whiskers. Wearing push-up bras, false eyelashes and control pants were also tricks ladies...

The Vegan Society has today warned that a dairy milk crisis could be imminent as sales of plant-based milks increase exponentially and consumers demand healthy and compassionate alternatives to traditional milk. The retail price of milk has now slipped below the cost price and is lower than some bottled water, signalling that its production is becoming increasingly unmanageable. The largest dairy firm First Milk has delayed payments to farmers as the price of a four-pint carton has slipped to £1 with...

By Georgette Culley What happened when our  feature writer  went to celebrity hairstylist in Knightsbridge salon? Ever since I can remember I’ve been dying my hair. First, I went bleach blonde, then I went Ginger (yes I actually asked to be ginger), then I went brunette, pink and every colour in between. Needless to say, my hair isn’t in the best condition and is dryer than the Gobi desert. No matter what expensive products I put on it, it still looks shit...

By Emma Silverthorn  @HouseOf_Gazelle Like Joanna Hogg’s first two feature films Exhibition (2013) is a spot-on meditation focused on British middle-class mores. However this time, instead of sending her characters on holiday, she shows them within their natural environment. Their home-an ultra modernist design by architect James Melvin to whom the film is dedicated-is as the director says, ‘very much the third character in the story.’ But after twenty years of living within this unique creation artistic couple D-played by...

By Stephen Mayne @finalreel Clint Eastwood has never been for messing around. His 34th film as director opens looking up the barrel at a bulky Bradley Cooper, and down the scope at a mother and child Cooper’s Chris Kyle is going to have to kill. American Sniper seems an unashamedly patriotic film, sometimes painfully so, but it’s also much subtler than that. Kyle is a patriotic warrior driven beyond sensible limits to serve his country, and it nearly destroys him...

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle As the year that marks the centenary of World War One comes to a close the expected glut of films documenting that period has not manifest. James Kent and Juliette Towhidi’s adaptation of Vera Brittain’s doorstop of a memoir Testament of Youth standing alone as the most high profile WW1 film of the year. The film is a tear-jerker, has some lovely moments visually, (one scene that was particularly striking was a shot of a Paul...

By Kit Power  Film Editor @TLE_Film Following on from his success with Dallas Buyers Club Jean-Marc Vallee directs Wild, a tale of grief, hurt and healing, literally one step at a time. Reece Witherspoon gives a striking performance as novice, lone-hiker Cheryl Strayed (based on her memoir) who undertook the precipitous 1,100 mile journey through the wilderness as the ill-thought-through solution to a car-crash rock bottom, resulting in the breakdown of her marriage and subsequent divorce. Donning freshly pressed hiking...

Things used to be different back in the day. House prices were affordable, you could get a pint for less than £3 and university courses didn't require tens of thousands of pounds in funding. But how cheap were things really? Well, Provident is challenging the nation to try and remember prices of the past! This includes the price of petrol in 2003, the cost of a London bus ticket, holidays, houses, food and drink, weddings, razors and all kinds of other things....

After Neknominate took the nation by storm and the ice bucket challenge replicated its success and then some, a new viral campaign has emerged on Facebook in the shape of our first profile pictures. On  February 4 Facebook will turn 11 years-old, which means that we have been socially active on the network for just long enough to tap the vast resource that is nostalgia. TimeHop has already reaped the rewards from digging up old photos and posts in a sort of digital...
