Do you really know?

With inflation at the highest it’s been in 45 years, it’s no wonder people are looking for ways to manage their money more effectively. And the trend we’re talking about today has really taken off on Tiktok since the start of the year. The #cashstuffing hashtag had already reached 1 billion views on the platform at the time of recording.

There’s actually nothing new about cash stuffing; in many ways it’s as if we were going back in time a few decades to when bank cards didn’t exist. It consists of allocating a certain amount of money to an expenditure category, like groceries for example.

A March 2023 study by American scientific magazine PLOS One revealed how plastic pollution of the oceans has reached unprecedented levels. An estimated 2.3 million tons of plastic are now floating in the seas or have been deposited on coastlines.

These figures are alarming, both for wildlife and for us. We know the consequences of microplastics on animal and human health. We’ve also seen garbage patches created in the middle of the oceans. But on the coastline, another form of pollution has appeared: small pieces of plastic have become embedded in the rocks to create what’s been labelled “plasticrust”.

What is this "plasticrust" made of? What impact could plasticrust pollution have? What’s happening with the UN treaty on plastic pollution? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If you ever meet a member of the royal family, you might be tempted to ask them for a selfie or an autograph but don’t be surprised if they politely decline. There are some good reasons why royals don’t take selfies or give autographs as well as a whole host of other rather unusual protocols that they must adhere to. 

Royals are often surrounded by crowds of people who want to see them or talk to them. Signing autographs or taking selfies could expose them to potential threats or harm. Also  it could create a lot of chaos and confusion in the crowd, making it harder for security personnel to protect the royals. But there is a more important reason...

What is the problem with selfies? What are some other things that Royals can’t do? So what should you do if you see a Royal?

we’re nearly halfway through 2026 so let’s take a moment to consider how many of our New Year’s resolutions we’ve actually stuck to so far.

I don’t know about you but I didn’t even bother this year; I’ve just failed to keep so many in the past that I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment again.

Wait a minute, vegan but bacon - aren’t those polar opposites?! Are we basically saying it’s fine to only do things halfway then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We all have to deal with tricky dilemmas and situations from time to time, the kind which we just can’t seem to get out of our head, that keep us up at night. It might be a fight with a friend, a work-related conflict or an urge to up sticks and move away for example.

Weighing things up endlessly can lead to a vicious circle of anxiety, which pollutes the mind. Well, there’s no magic solution for getting those things out of your head unfortunately. But there is a method for thinking about them differently to reduce fee lings of angst and discontent. It’s the 10-10-10 method.  

It sounds like a breathing method! How do I get started then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
