Why is everyone talking about cricket and WTF is the spirit of the game? We break down what's happened at The Ashes and why men might be feeling stroppy about it. 

Plus, in every romantic relationship, there is a business owner and the shift worker. So what is the difference and which should you be?

And…birthday registries are now a thing and we are divided on the etiquette of gift-giving.
