Getting Help Is Necessary And Does Not Make You Weak

Twenty two-year-old photographer and UCT graduate Alix Hodge has struggled with mental health her whole life, but has only recently learnt how to reclaim her life. My official diagnosis is long-term depression with mild Aspergers (that went undiagnosed until my late teens), also presenting with manic tendencies and acute PTSD, she says.

Tips For Healthy Nips

The hottest new accessory is one (er, two) you already own: nipples. Kendall Jenners make cameos in pap photos; Emily Ratajkowskis flout Instagrams anti-nudity rules; and when one of Bella Hadids slipped out on a Paris runway, she didnt bother to cover it up.

(To play Xbox? Ugh.) Its a tricky balancing act especially for Millennials, who are spending more years being single and cherishing their #DoNotDisturb moments than any other generation. (The proof: the average woman now gets married at 27, compared to 23 in 1990 and 20 in 1960. For men, its 29, up from 26 and 22 respectively.)

Sploshing: sounds kinda gross, but it can actually be really sexy. Its the act of playing with food to arouse your (and your partners) carnal appetite. But before you start hauling groceries into bed, know that only certain types of food are pleasure-inducing. Others are just a straight-up mess or even hazardous. Then theres the golden rule of frisky food play: safe sustenance can go all over the body but almost never inside the vagina, where it could cause infection, says gynaecologist Alyssa Dweck, coauthor of The Complete A To Z For Your V.
