Bride-To-Be Invented An Epic IKEA Bag Hack To Protect Her Wedding Dress While Peeing


Your wedding day is one of the most significant milestones in your life, a day to remember forever. But it can also be stressful. With months of meticulous planning, you want everything to go smoothly! So you account for any potential problem that could occur.

However, did you think about how you are going to go to the toilet in a huge wedding dress? With the champagne flowing, there will be frequent pee breaks, and it is hardly realistic to be getting dressed and undressed every time.

A British woman, Tina, has thought of everything and solved this issue with our old friend the IKEA bag. She shared the pictures of her genius hack on IKEA hackers blog, and it quickly went viral.


Cutting a hole in the bottom of the bag, Tina gathers the folds of the dress and lifts the bag, putting the straps over her shoulders. Now the fancy, ‘mermaid-style’ wedding dress is all in one neat package, and will not get sullied by a dirty bathroom floor. Smart, right?

People are embracing nostril hair and getting thick extensions in bizarre new trend

It's the beauty trend nobody asked for, but it's here nonetheless.
While men and women have been fighting against unruly nostril hair for generations, the latest fad seems to be incorporating nostril hair extensions into your life.
Yes, you can now kiss goodbye to the eye-watering pain of plucking and the fiddliness of trimming your nose hair.
The brave new look was first championed by Instagrammer @gret_chen_chen.
She used false eyelashes to achieve the avant guard aesthetic but we imagine if you're blessed in the nose hair department, you won't need to resort to falsies .
It did not take long for others to seize upon the look and - voila - the tag #nosehairextensions was born.
A quick glance at this tag will show you just how popular it's become.
As an aside, we're not sure how advisable it is to use eyelash glue up your nose, so that's something to be aware of.
If you're happy to just leave your nostril hair as is, here are some interesting facts.
It grows at a rate of 0.35mm per day and it's actually our friend, as it acts as one of the body's first lines of defence against environmental nasties such as spores and germs.
So, where nostril hair is concerned, could it be a case of more is more?

Theresa May takes stand against Saudi regime by not wearing headscarf - ignoring Foreign Office advice

Theresa May has taken a stand against Saudi Arabia's ultra-conservative regime by not wearing a headscarf - going against official Foreign Office advice.

The Prime Minister, in a dark blue trouser suit, made sure she had her wrists and ankles covered, in accordance with strict dress codes for women in Saudi Arabia.


But her choice of outfit as she arrived on Tuesday afternoon was contrary to Foreign Office guidelines, which state: “Women should wear conservative, loose-fitting clothes as well as a full length cloak (abaya) and a headscarf.”

Mrs May won widespread praise on Twitter, with users saying they were “proud you have not bowed down” to the regime, and that “secular women are equal and free”.

Britain’s only other female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, wore a long robe and a hat that covered most of her hair when she made an official visit to Saudi Arabia.

Members of the Royal family also abide by the Foreign Office’s advice when they visit the strict Muslim kingdom.

There is, however, no law requiring foreign visitors to cover their heads, and Mrs May is by no means the first visiting foreign VIP to go bare-headed.

Michelle Obama left her head uncovered when she visited Saudi Arabia with President Barack Obama in 2015 to pay respects following King Abdullah’s death.

Condoleezza Rice, the former US Secretary of State, also went bare-headed on the same trip.

Before she arrived in Saudi Arabia, Mrs May had said she hoped her visit would show “what women can achieve”.

Rabbit hole leads to '700-year-old Knights Templar' caves

Footage has emerged of an intriguing network of caves found through a rabbit hole that many believe were built by the Knights Templar order 700 years ago.

The sanctuary in Shropshire is located under an unassuming set of what appear to be large rabbit holes in a farmer’s field near the town of Shifnal.


The caves, some of which have to be accessed on hands and knees, are one metre underground and are carved out of sandstone. They feature several alcoves and a font.

It remains unclear exactly what the caves were used for or when they were built, but Historic England describes them as a "grotto" and states it appears they have recently been used for "black magic rites".


The organisation estimated the caves were "probably late C18 or early C19, but undatable" and included "neo-Norman decoration to bays between columns, one neo-Norman doorway with beak-heads and roll moulding; decorative quatrefoils and designs abound".

The Shropshire Star reports the caves "have also been visited by pagans and druids wanting to hold ceremonies, and are popular at solstice and Halloween".

They were reportedly sealed by the owners of the land in 2012 to deter vandals and practitioners of "black magic".

Photographer Michael Scott said: "I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didn't know it was there you would just walk right past it. Considering how long it's been there it's in amazing condition, it's like an underground temple."

"I had to crouch down and once I was in it was completely silent. There were a few spiders in there but that was it. It was raining so the slope down was quite sludgy but inside the cave was bone dry."

Claudio Ranieri fired by Leicester 9 months after leading them to remarkable EPL title

Claudio Ranieri has been fired as the manager of Leicester City. The Foxes have decided to move on from the manager who led them to an improbable Premier League title just nine months ago after dropping into the relegation fight this season.


Ranieri’s status at Leicester has been in question for weeks as the Foxes have stumbled down the table. They are yet to win a Premier League match since the start of  2017 and only have five wins in the entire season. That has left them only a point out of the relegation zone, a fact that would scare any club, but is especially terrifying to the Foxes considering how poorly they’ve played. It’s not hard to argue that Leicester have been the worst team in the league for nearly two months now, making the chances of them being relegated all the more likely.

The hope for Leicester is that a new manager can give them a boost the way new bosses did at Hull and Swansea. The two other relegation contenders have made huge strides since switching managers and the Foxes are betting that a new boss can do the same for them.

That Ranieri had to go is especially difficult considering the wondrous job he did last season. He took Leicester, a team with 5,000/1 odds to win the title, to the top of the Premier League to become the most unexpected champions in the history of the league. He was exceedingly likable, both in Leicester and around the world as fans rallied around the remarkable Foxes. Ranieri threw his players pizza parties and was always quick to a joke, while using his time away from the club to visit his mother back in Italy. He was absolutely beloved and the club wanted nothing more than to keep him.

Unfortunately, the results this season made it tough for Leicester to justify holding onto Ranieri. They simply lost too much and while there was no realistic expectation that they would contend for the title again, the Foxes did not expect to be in a relegation fight. That’s where they find themselves and, needing a change, they had to jettison the man who led them to glory.
