In most homes, kitchen scourers and tea towels get cleaned or thrown away regularly. So do mop heads and dusters. But there’s one heavy-duty cleaning item that often gets missed. We’re talking about the humble toilet brush. It’s something that revoltingly harbours on average around 2.3 billion bacteria - comparable to the pollution level of the sewer, and yet rarely anyone thinks about cleaning it.

The task of organising your home can feel overwhelming. Many of us don't know where to start, which can lead to giving up before we've even begun and sweeping it all under the rug (or shoving the mess into a cupboard).

For those travelling or living in one of these tiny spaces, it’s common knowledge that every inch of space matters, so being savvy with storage is a must.

Australians are traditionally portrayed as a pretty laid-back bunch with a “she’ll be right” attitude. But while that might be the stereotype, the reality is a little more serious. New research highlights nearly half of all Aussies (48 per cent) report high stress levels daily with 20 per cent saying it’s a recurring problem.

It turns out we’re actually a pretty stressed-out nation with worries like how the hell am I going to afford my mortgage? And, why is everything so expensive? at the top of that list.

8 April 2025 at 4:00 pm·4-min readFor most of us, our local supermarket is like an extension of home. We have a well-trodden route around it and could practically shop with our eyes closed.

And people have a LOT of opinions about it.

It's no secret that many of us wake up and head straight for the kettle or coffee machine for a much-needed caffeine hit. However, while millions of people can't imagine ingesting anything other than a cup of joe first thing in the morning, others prefer to kickstart their day by rehydrating after a night of sleep.
