Dream job alert: a company is offering people £35K to test nail polishes
Here’s your daily dose of ‘I should just pack it in and quit my job’ temptation.
Nailbox, a nail polish subscription box, is currently hiring for nail polish testers, with a pro rata salary of up to £35K.
The job is pretty much as brilliant as it sounds. The polish tester will be sent 50 polishes and accessories every month, to try, test, and review. They’ll have to take pictures of every nail experiment and make sure to take notes on what works and what doesn’t, but that’s about it. Dream job, basically.
There are some caveats to the role, but they’re pretty minor. All testers have to avoid any strenuous or nail-risking tasks, including washing dishes, gardening, or manual labour… which is essentially just an excuse to avoid helping out around the house.

22 reasons Tinder is the absolute WORST dating app
Sure, swiping and judging people is fun for a bit. But let’s stop lying to ourselves: Tinder is the WORST.
Seriously. Whether you’re using it for serious dating purposes, doing some self-esteem-boosting flirting, or are just trying to get laid, Tinder is not all it’s cracked up to be. Here are 22 reasons why:

2. The bio-related banter is awful
During my brief attempt at Tindering, my bio was ‘please don’t be a murderer’. Because murder is a serious concern.
This is obviously RIPE for great jokes or at least some kind of ‘isn’t online dating terrifying?’ connection. Instead, I got terrible attempts at banter like ‘I’m… Read the full story http://ift.tt/1Gl2iia June 13, 2015 at 06:07PM
Gay student comes out to his parents with sassy yearbook quote
Young people are drinking less so they don’t look bad on Facebook
Today in seriously shocking statistics, a new study has found that people aged 16-24 are drinking significantly less alcohol, with 27% going full on teetotal.
Released this week, the figures show a massive rise in teetotalism in the younger generation, with 27% of 16-14 year olds choosing to be alcohol-free – up from 19% in 2005. For comparison, 27% of over-65s are also teetotals, basically meaning grandkids and grandparents are just as bad as each other, alcohol-wise.
At the same time, young people binge-drinking has fallen to 18%, down from 29% in 2005. They’re still the group that binge-drink the most, but they’re doing it a lot less frequently than the same age group 10 years ago.
Interestingly, the changes in young people’s drinking don’t seem to be down to… Read the full story http://ift.tt/1FetNWH June 13, 2015 at 01:17PM
