The


wellbeing


wrap
Good news for those
feeling the pressure to
'grow up'; scientists say we
don't become fully 'adult'
until our 30s. More funny
cat videos on YouTube
it is then

HOW DO YOU
C ME NOW?
With a mission to
challenge society's
perceptions of beauty, a new
photography exhibit showcases
people with Congenital Melanocytic
Nevus – a rare, untreatable skin condition where
brown birthmarks cover up to 80% of the body. It
hopes to give a confidence boost to those with
the condition, showing that "visible differences
can add to beauty, rather than detract from it".

Happy days!
The UK is the 15th
happiest country in
the world according
to the United Nation's
World Happiness
Report. The UK also
came fourth for
generosity –
kindness and
compassion FTW!

Pet peeves
They say pets look like their
owners, but now it turns out
our furry friends might also
develop personality traits to
mirror their humans, too!
Specially looking at our feline
pals, the study published
in PLOS ONE revealed that
kitties develop traits such as
being neurotic, overweight,
or cheerful, similar to their
owners. I guess they're called
'copycats' for a reason...

Longing for those
weekend lie-ins?
Unfortunately a
study has revealed
that they don't
make up for a lack
of sleep during the
week. Could be time
to refresh those
bedtime routines
and catch
some
regular Zs.

Dino-mite hobbies
A US study found that kids who develop obsessive
interests, such as a passion for dinosaurs, are more
likely to be sucessful when they're older. Much like the
dinosaurs themselves, this study isn't new, but it's been
hitting headlines recently as people think about how
encouraging children's passions can help determine their
careers. A world of little Ross Gellers awaits...

Going down

The school
stressbuster
solution?

Suited and booted
We all know that first
impressions matter, so
want to look our best at job
interviews. But for people
who are out of work, it can
be a challenge to afford
something new – and an
added stress to an already
pressurised situation.

Unemployment
in the UK is
currently at 4%
But a wonderful initiative
from shoe repairs retailer
Timpson sees them
offer a completely free
suit cleaning service
for unemployed people
preparing for an interview.
Simply call your local
branch and chat through a
couple of questions with a
member of staff – then it's
job done!
While the good news
is that unemployment is
falling in the UK (currently
4%), fantastic ideas like
this will help those people
still looking for a job. Good
work all round.

A new study
has found that
regardless of what
women think
about their bodies,
when partners
compliment
them, it can
help to
overcome
body issues.

Get your creative juices flowing – for love
Frustration, Monopoly, Cluedo – these might not be
your go-to date night choices, but a study from Baylor
University, Texas, has revealed that couples release
oxytocin (the love hormone) when playing board games
together, or getting creative. So, expect more bonding
than boredom when you next crack out Guess Who, and
perhaps schedule a creative date soon – love is where
the art is!

Office noise
Ain't nobody got
time for that

When life gives
you lemons
sniff them when
you revise

All that glitters
The festival fav is
actually bad for
the planet

Let the good
times roll...
