Do you really know?

Right from primary school age, we tell children that if another boy or girl has teased them, it’s “because they like them”. And playful teasing happens a lot in dating well into adulthood.
If it’s ever happened to you, you might have laughed along out of fear of appearing oversensitive. But really it’s a form of verbal abuse, which is often used intentionally to manipulate another person’s emotions, undermining their self-esteem.

It’s more common than we tend to admit. Some children grow up with parents who are critical, emotionally distant, or unable to empathize. In that kind of environment, attachment bonds don’t always form smoothly.

Children may internalize the idea that they don’t deserve affection and that makes it harder to give it back. Add in repeated abandonment, breakups, violence, or addiction, and some children end up feeling no real attachment to the people who raised them.

So, can we choose to love less to protect ourselves? But does our love for them fluctuate over time? So then, how should we think about parental love? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Back in 2015, 10,000 participants at Newcastle University’s Numbers Festival were asked what their favourite number was. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 12.6% of them answered the number seven, making it the most popular number of them all.
Some said they didn't know why they chose seven, but as you know, the number tends to have positive connotations and is associated with luck in particular. That’s especially true in Western societies.
How far back does the legend of lucky number seven go? How has the concept of luck contributed to the number seven's prominence? Are there any scientific or logical reasons behind the number seven's lucky reputation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

You’ve probably seen the photos of stars like Courteney Cox or Simon Cowell, who have recently revealed a more natural look after removing their facial fillers or perhaps are one of Kylie Jenner’s 381 million followers and saw that she had recently dissolved her lip filler. But what prompted this change?

Fillers are injectable substances that are used to plump up areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. They can also be used to enhance features like lips, cheeks, or jawlines.

What are cosmetic fillers? Why are celebrities dissolving their fillers? But do fillers ever fully dissolve? How do you dissolve fillers? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

A comfy mattress, be it firm or soft, and a good pillow are all essential for a good night’s sleep but increasingly people are also buying weighted blankets to help them relax. A weighted blanket is exactly what it sounds like, a blanket that is heavier than your usual duvet.

They are normally filled with either plastic pellets or glass beads and their extra weight is designed to provide a light pressure that has a therapeutic effect, like being held, which for some, leads to a sense of calm, reduced anxiety and better sleep. Sensory integration theory suggests that deep pressure can have a calming effect on the nervous system which can help with a host of anxiety issues, troubled sleep, insomnia, restless leg syndrome and can even help calm people with an autism spectrum disorder.

What is a weighted blanket and how does it work? What are the benefits of a weighted blanket? Are there any concerns about weighted blankets? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
