2. A love story in 28 pictures.

Get the tissues ready for this one. Taylor Morris was a 23-year-old Navy EDU – he specialised in bomb disposals. When he stepped on an IED (Improvised Explosive Device), everything changed. Read what happened next here.

3. This is why you’re not married.

There are plenty of reasons why someone is not married – and not all of them are bad. When the Huffington Post released a scathing list of reasons why you’re not married, Jamila had something to say about it. Read the post here.

6. Worst love tattoos ever.

There are some tattoos that probably should never have been inked. Like, any relationship that’s lasted less than three weeks, or another Southern Cross tattoo.

10. The Great Wall of Vagina (NSFW)

How many vaginas have you seen? If you’re like many of us, the answer could well be one: yours. And some of us have never even looked that closely at our own one. In a time when the term ‘designer vagina’ is on everybody’s lips (pun… a little intended), it’s refreshing to see someone take a stand. UK sculptor Jamie McCarthy has created plaster moulds of 400 vaginas of every type. The aim, he says, is to celebrate every type of vagina, and to remove the negativity many women have about theirs. Curious? So were we. Check out the post here.

11. Who’s your brain swoon?

We all get crushes on famous people from time to time, but usually, well, they’re attractive. Super attractive.
