Life is for living, and sometimes we all let social pressure get on top of us. We allow society to tell us how we should live, instead of actually living. Here are some things us ladies should never feel guilty about:

1. Enjoying social beverages

tumblr_n7yqdkvVaD1qk08n1o1_500

As long as your drinking habits haven’t escalated into problem territory, then you order that Long Island Iced tea and you enjoy every drop of it. There’s nothing wrong with sitting back with few beers and enjoying yourself with friends.

2. Having a healthy social life

will-and-carlton-dance

There’s nothing like a night out on the tiles to lift a bad mood. If, every so often, you like to kick back and enjoy some good, old fashioned twerking to the beats of Dirty Dancing, then power to you. Don’t let the haters tell you otherwise.

3. Wanting to see the world

tumblr_n7feeuaQYL1s22rc8o1_400

Or don’t, it’s completely your decision. Do what makes YOU happy – not anybody else!

4. Having your cake and eating it too

tumblr_ll1lvhr9Mw1qjmv8fo1_500

If you want that second piece of biscuit cake or that third bag of Meanies…have it! Balance is the key.

5. Not living in the gym

gym-dance

While going to the gym is a really great way to feel good and keep fit and healthy, don’t let yourself get worked up if you miss a day.

5. Being a proud single pringle

Make the most of that single life, you’ll never regret it!

6. Or be proud and loved up

tumblr_mrhnsjpUlY1r08daqo1_500

You’ll hopefully never regret this one either!

7. Being well mannered

So what you can’t tell that waiter he is being an a**, he probably knows anyway.

8. Not being a slave to fashion

tumblr_mgyoqaly0h1qbooxeo3_500

So you don’t spend the vast majority of your wages in River Island? In this celebrity influenced, appearance drenched society, not dressing just like everyone else, is never a thing to feel guilty about.

9. Having odd tastes

Have you inherited a love of all things retro from your parents? Do you fail to see the appeal of Walter White or does the Game of Thrones hysteria baffle you? Not to worry. You fly that odd flag high and proud. It’s what separates and differs you. No guilt necessary.

Morning are the absolute worst, aren’t they? Here are some things that run through every girl’s mind when that dreaded alarm clock goes off:

1. “Snooze, where’s snooze? SNOOZE !”

tumblr_msd5ksHgws1ro8ysbo1_500

Ten minutes of bliss. Followed by ten more.

2. “I suppose I should really get up now.”

tumblr_inline_n1vvnp4ACu1r2lubo

Ugh…why?

3. “Why did I stay up so late last night?”

tumblr_mmrgjsy0zE1s89hgko1_400

You vow to be in bed at 9pm sharp tonight. We all know it won’t happen.

4. “Is there a job out there that doesn’t involve getting up before half eleven?”

being-lazy

…And still finish at 5pm? Thought so.

5. “Is my hair too greasy not to wash?”

tumblr_n3agk2IdKv1tsznm3o1_500

Because those extra five minutes could go so far right now…

6. “Will I get away without make-up today?”

tumblr_inline_n6mcumY1lW1s1gkgx

Struggle on girfriend…

7. “Oh crap, I have no clean clothes.”

tumblr_mu4sv6TWgY1qck9jso1_250

Pulling things out left, right and centre just to put an outfit together is simply soul destroying.

8. “Breakfast or near starvation until lunch?”

tumblr_mqk3a2hziu1spivzao1_500

It’s the most important meal of the day – ALWAYS have breakfast, ladies!

9. “Please GOD, don’t say it’s raining outside today.”

tumblr_mjysxhfLrZ1s4xdz1o1_500

As you pull on those not-so-waterproof pumps you pray the skies don’t open and leave you with shivering puddle feet all day long.

For some reason, us girls lie to each other about small things. Whether it’s about saving face or just trying to get one up on each other, here are some of the more classic things those frenemies (and besties!) are likely to tell you:

1. “He’s AMAZING in bed.”

tumblr_n01rgw85601qk08n1o1_500

While this one could be true if your bestie said it to you, if it comes from your frenemy, it is almost certainly a big fat lie!

2. “I wish I was single.”

liar

No, you don’t. This is something that girls in relationships say to comfort their depressed single friends, especially after another night of failure on the man scene.

3. “Oh my god, no, I LOVE your boyfriend.”

tumblr_n3txvq8lh41s1jifwo4_250

Oh, the guy who took you away from me and now I have to see all the time? Don’t fall for this one…

4. “Yeah, she is a total bitch.”

tumblr_mqcypxngPj1qd67a3o1_500

Nine times out of ten, this is uttered about some girl that dares to speak to a boy you’ve been creeping on silently and from afar, for some time. The girl in question seems pretty sound to you, but for friendships sake, she’s the biggest bitch going. Still, we appreciate the gesture.

5. “No you do not look fat in that skirt.”

tumblr_m5ciiaE72r1rn6dnpo1_500

NEVER tell a girl she looks fat. Every girl knows this cardinal rule and to break it would be to buy your ticket out of the circle. It’s like Ross once told Chandler. Don’t even think about it. “Do I look fat?”. “NO.”

6. “No waaaaaaay have you gained weight.”

tumblr_mbej03cdA41rzbvsto1_250

Again, as stated above. Fat+ Girl= End of friendship. When she’s feeling bigger than normal just pretend nothing has changed and then swiftly change the subject.

7. “It was sooooooo good to see you.”

tumblr_m9gx0mn77L1qcwgrvo1_500

It really wasn’t good to see you. It was actually pretty awkward, uncomfortable and just generally laced with small talk and so, if I don’t see you again for quite some time, I’ll be happy.

8. “Yeah, I’m literally on the way right now.”

Will-Ferrell-Elf-You-Sit-on-a-Throne-of-Lies

30 minutes later and you are STILL waiting. Infuriating doesn’t even cut it.

9. “You look AMAZING in that picture. What other chin?”

oh-hell-to-the-no

Once again, we appreciate this lie.

10. “I am in no way drunk at all. I’m not even tipsy.”

tumblr_n5fixrHojl1tqs1heo1_500

You may be lying on the floor as you say this, but that does not make it any less of a lie.

People always assume that being tall is great and that we’re luckier than everyone else – but being tall isn’t always so hot! Here are some questions we are sick of answering:

1. “What HEIGHT are you?”
Taller than you. That’s all you need to know.

tumblr_inline_mizd9uyBXq1qz4rgp2.”Can you get that there?”
Used and abused for our height.

tumblr_n42tlyQBMo1qdx295o1_500

3. “You must get everywhere so much faster.”
Incidentally, yes. Yes we do.

tumblr_n3quppyOwZ1rmu9bao1_400

4. “Flying must be fun for you?”
Flying isn’t fun for anyone. Ever. Fact.

tumblr_n4efgwcPG51s8hnhko1_5005. “Let’s take a selfie. Can you lean down a bit there?”
Can you just stand on your tippie toes, please?

tumblr_mqvgtjQg4x1rm2haeo2_250

6. “Jesus, I’d love to see the height of you in heels.”
We don’t wear heels.

tumblr_mejw32mWSG1qdlh1io1_r1_250

7. “Does Penneys have a tall girl section?”
On behalf of tall girls everywhere, we’d like to propose this genius idea to Penneys. Please, do your taller customers a massive favour and cut some clothes that will actually cover our bum.

tumblr_mn66585j6I1qj4315o1_500

8. “Are your parents really tall too?”
No.

tumblr_mccqdy8GMK1qbh0eio1_5009. “That shower’s a bit low, good luck with that.”
This really is the worst thing ever.

tumblr_mxmootfHUq1slgu2mo1_500

10. “Have you always been that tall?”
Have you always been this stupid?

tumblr_mkthljmTMP1r1weouo1_25011. “Finding a man taller than you must be tricky.”

Yes, we’re hoarders and your bedside table always seems like such a good idea to hide all of those unmentionables … but why?!

Here are some of the more regular, and some not so regular items bound to be found in our bedside tables!

1. Passport
Surely every thief in the world must know where to look for a passport. Everyone uses their underwear drawer as a hiding place.

giphy-2

2. Condoms
If they’re not on your bedside locker then they’re probably in your knicker drawer. Because duh.

giphy-3

3. A box of cigarettes
You don’t smoke, but you bring them on nights out, and this is where they live in between.

giphy-5

4. Bizarre bra
It cost like 50 quid and you wore it one time.

28455_fashion-forms-strapless-bra-backless-u-plunge-p6536-1360175683-925

5. Patterned tights
You know the ones that you bought because they were on sale in River Island for €2. You’ll probably end up throwing them out but for now they remain in the drawer unworn and useless.

giphy-8

6. Sexy underwear
You only pull out the big guns for special occasions. You know the exact pants that make your arse look great and the bra that is both flattering and sexy.

giphy-7

7. Granny pants- aka period pants
They’re seriously naff but so so comfy. Even though the elestic is clearly visible you still won’t throw them away.

giphy-118. The mini vibrator/sex toy
If there is one place you’re going to stash this it’s probably in here..

9. Mismatched selection of socks
Well this is exactly what you’d expect to find in here. Life is too short to oraganise socks and this is why you can never find a decent pair.

Miss Matched Socks

10.  Sale items from Ann Summers that you will never ever wear. Ever. 
You know the stuff- with straps that you can’t figure out – It kind of scares you a little bit to be honest. Seemed like a good idea at the time though!

new-girl_320

11. The Bridget Jones suck-in knickers
You probably bought these for your cousin’s wedding a few years back but they are always there for emergencies. You just hope that know one will ever have to see you in them.

.article-1281106099381-0AB57509000005DC-520269_466x310

12. Bullet proof padded bra
You know the one. The bra that is so padded it could literally protect your boobies from an AK47. It also gives you unrelastic expectations of your cleavage. False advertising.com.

giphy-6

13. Stockings
You bought them to be sexy but every time you attempt to wear them you end up ripping them to shreds. WHY are they so uncomfy?! You just wanted to be Dita Von Teese.

giphy-10

14. Tanning mitt
Raggedy old thing, but always pulled out for nights out.

skinny tan tanning mitt

15. Coppers/pennies
An assortment of currency from countries that you haven’t even been to.

16. Your ex boyfriends old boxers
That you should probably throw away but still wear occasionally… mainly because they’re too comfy to throw out.

Us short girls don’t have it so easy. Between having to prove just how tough we really are and having to answer your stupid questions, it’s exhausting. Here are some questions you shouldn’t ask a short woman, ever:

1. “Can I pick you up?”
Drunken strangers think it’s perfectly acceptable to pick us up, throw us over their shoulders and do laps of the nightclub dancefloor. So not okay.

no-baby-no-gif2. “How old are you?”
Just because we are small, doesn’t instantly make us 11 years-old!

9713. “How are you so small?”
There’s always an emphasis on the “small”. Why are you so tall?

bb-yeah-science4. “Do you have to shop in the kids section?”
Sometimes. That’s where all the bargains are as well as the pink sparkly shoes so IN YOUR FACE!

daf38a9370484a3c6e703f5543e565895. “How can you eat so much?”
Does our height somehow dictate the size of our stomachs?

tumblr_lkysjs7J2t1qixleeo1_5006. “Could you fit in there? How bout in there?”
We appreciate your curiosity, and we’ve probably wondered if we could fit in the washing machine too.

tumblr_n2nofl1EtJ1rfduvxo1_5007. “Do you want me to put you on my shoulders?”
Usually asked at gigs, this is a really nice gesture. We do appreciate the fact that you’re looking out for us and know that it’s almost impossible for us to see the gig if not at the very front or the very back.

Benedict-Cumberbatch-thank-you8. “Can I lean on you?”
Using us as an elbow rest is so not cool, you’re squishing our necks!

giphy9. “Can I keep you?”
This is kind of nice, although it’s very patronising. We’re often seen as the kittens of the human race. People love to pet us and cuddle us, it’s kind of weird.

Anna Wintour has topped the fashion names on Forbes magazine’s ‘100 Most Powerful Women’ list.

The American Vogue editor-in-chief and artistic director of Condé Nast has been placed at number 39 on this year’s list – a whole two places higher than in 2013.

This is in part down to her fundraising work for the Anna Wintour Costume Centre and President Obama’s re-election campaign.

Anna, 64, beat designers Diane Von Furstenberg, who ranked in 68th place, Miuccia Prada in 75th and Tory Burch in 79th as well as supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who has an estimated wealth of $42million.

Also on the list in 43rd place is Spanx creator Sara Blakely who made history after turning her $5,000 life savings into the billion dollar brand, becoming the world’s first self-made female billionaire.

Sara has also joined the Giving Pledge, vowing to donate at least half of her earnings to charity.

Beyonce, Shakira, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie and Sofia Vergara also made it onto the list, which was topped by the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

Most of us have woken up after a night out wanting to jump in a time machine to the moment before we ordered that round of shots, and just go home instead.

And while most of us curse the heavens and yell ‘NEVER AGAIN!’ into the toilet bowl, we always manage to find ourselves back there again.

While there’s nothing wrong with letting your hair down now and again, the latest figure from the World Health Organisation (WHO) have revealed some really scary facts about alcohol.

According to WHO, dangerous alcohol consumption was responsible for 3.3 million deaths worldwide in 2012.

“This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds,” Shekhar Saxena from WHO said.

On average, every person in the world age 15 and older drinks 6.2 liters of pure alcohol a year, according to the report.

However, less than half the world’s population drinks any alcohol, which means people who do, drink an average of around 17 litres of pure alcohol a year.

Scarily, binge drinking among women, including those living in Ireland, is on the rise.

And according to the graph, Ireland ranks in the second highest category of worldwide alcohol consumption, with an average intake of between 10-12.4 litres per person over the age of 15, in 2010.

A study from the online dating site, Victoria Milan, has revealed that the majority of women who cheat, do so because of certain irritating qualities from their partner.

Victoria Milan is a dating site specifically designed for those who are interested in cheating on their partners.

The site decided to conduct a survey on why some women are so keen to cheat on their partners by questioning their 6,000 female users on the topic.

The results were interesting.

The study revealed that 73% of women who were surveyed, decided to cheat due to their partner’s irritating qualities. But the exact irritating reasons for each woman’s partner, varied.

19% felt that their partner’s poor sense of humour was a good enough reason to cheat. While 16% of women decided to stray due to a lack of understanding from their current partner.

The dating site also revealed other reasons for why some women are so keen to cheat on their partner, from not being good in bed, to being lazy, lack of manners and their partner’s poor attention to detail.

But Victoria Milan revealed that what drove women onto the site in the first place was mostly their desire to find a lover who has polar opposite qualities to their current partner. Ouch!

According to us Irish ladies, Mr Right must know his way around a toolbox.

A recent survey, carried out by RaboDirect, revealed that just over 50 per cent of Irish women are looking for a man who is good at DIY.

He must be good with a hammer and be able to get to grips with a power drill, according to the survey.

Similarly, the survey says that 54 per cent of men want a girlfriend who is good in the kitchen.

And we thought we had moved on!

It seems most men – a whopping 84% – are still pretty old fashioned at heart and insist on offering to pay the entire cost of the first date.

However, the survey says only one in 10 women would make a similar offer though more than half now happily offer to split the bill.

It’s only fair!
