Lily shares her sincere and humorous outlook on V-Day as someone who’s been in a relationship with her partner for nine years.
In a heteronormative relationship the man/handsome prince/Matthew McConaughey is pressured to deliver some huge romantic gesture to prove how much he loves the woman, who sits and looks pretty while she waits for this confirmation. The damsel is in need of saving and the only thing that can save her is a man.
For me, it was him helping me birth my lodged moon cup and not telling his friends about it afterwards . Or him carefully applying Sudocrem to our dog’s vagina to alleviate her cystitis, only to have her lick it all off and vomit on the carpet. Or it’s him telling people how proud he is of my stand-up when he doesn’t think I’m listening .

Shorter sleep among adolescents is associated with lower fruit and vegetable consumption the following day - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical ActivityBackground Insufficient sleep has been associated with weight gain and metabolic dysregulation, with one suggested mechanism being through reduction in diet quality. Experimental evidence supports a causal effect of sleep timings on diet but this may not be applicable to a free-living adolescent population. In this analysis we use daily measures of sleep timings and diet quality, to examine the effect of sleep duration and timing on diet quality the following day among free-living adolescents. Methods The ROOTS study is a prospective cohort recruited from secondary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk (UK). Participants (n = 815) at mean age 15.0y (SD 0.3y) completed a diet diary and wore a combined heart rate and accelerometer device over 4 consecutive days. Sleep duration and timing (midpoint) were derived from acceleration and heart rate traces, while daily energy density and fruit and vegetable intake were calculated from dietary data. Analyses were performed at day-level (1815 person-days). Multilevel random effects models were used to test associations between sleep each night and subsequent day diet, with daily sleep and diet measures nested within individuals and schools, and adjusted for day-level and individual-level confounding variables. Results Adolescents slept a mean of 7.88 hrs (SD 1.10) per night, reporting a mean energy density of 2.12 kcal/g (SD 0.48) and median energy-adjusted daily fruit and vegetable intake of 137.3 g (IQR 130.4). One hour shorter sleep duration was associated with lower intake of fruit and vegetables (-6.42 g, 95%CI -1.84, -10.99) the following day. An association with higher dietary energy density (0.016 kcal/g, 95%CI 0.034, -0.002) the following day was observed but did not reach statistical significance. Sleep timing was not associated with either fruit and vegetable intake (-2.52 g/d, 95%CI -7.66, 2.62) or dietary energy density (-0.001 kcal/g, 95%CI -0.022, 0.020). Conclusions Our observational findings from a free-livin
