A leap year, also known to the scientific folk as a bissextile year, is a year containing one additional day. Such years consist of 366 days as opposed to the average 365 days we live through in a common year. Without getting too technical about the subject, a Leap Year basically happens once every four years as a way of keeping the day- to-day calendar we usually live by synchronized with the astronomical and seasonal year.

Single’s Awareness Day – Surviving Valentine’s Day
In case you haven’t heard or seen shops dotted with love hearts, today is Valentine’s Day. There’s no escaping the annual hallmark cash-in event but in the flurry of last-minute teddy-buying and card-making, spare a thought for the singletons -those who have to endure the most loved up day of the year, me being one of them. Not that I hate Valentine’s Day if anything it has no effect on me at all, but my loved-up friends find that hard to believe, or even understand. St. Valentine’s Day wasn’t originally [...]

Age: is it really just a number?
Many teenage hearts started beating again as it was announced that TV personality, Caroline Flack, 32, and curly-haired One Direction member, Harry Styles, 17, had called time on their relationship. Styles has been the lovable rogue of One Direction since the band came third in the 2010 series of X Factor.

The Break-Up Playlist
Breaking up is hard to do. Whether you’re the receiver, or the one doing the breaking up, you need your ‘mourning’ period. There are a number of ways we choose to do this: some girls turn to the more reliable men in their lives – Ben & Jerry; some girls and boys go on the rebound; some resort to bad-mouthing their ex – from their shoes to their mother. But for others, the mourning period involves blocking out the outside world, sticking on the iPod or heading to YouTube and [...]

Irreconcilable Similarities: Divorce, Celebrity Style
In light of Sinead O’ Connor’s recent split from Irish therapist Barry Herridge after just 17 days, it is only natural to assume short-lived celebrity marriages have become an undying fad in the past few years, to the extent that we are no longer gasp in disbelief over the latest celebrity divorce parading the headlines. Although some last far longer than others, there still remains a very sad element to any marriage in tinsel town as it seems the likelihood of divorce is not simply a possibility anymore, but actually [...]
The One Most Embarrassing Thing That Could Happen to a Woman During Sex
Fanny farts. There it is, I’ve said it and I could literally sizzle an egg on that burning red face of yours!
