  • Mucus Plugs, Sage Sticks & The 'Unfortunately I Do Love' Trend

    Mucus Plugs, Sage Sticks & The 'Unfortunately I Do Love' Trend
    Sep 16 2025

    Hey lifers!
    Laura is begging for her labour to start so she can…have a day off 😂. What helped bring on your labour? People have really tried almost everything. Would you rather s3x or a stair run? Neither is an option.
    Britt is in her *spiritual era. She has been saging her house for a pretty unusual reason. Are you a sager? What have you saged to get rid of?

    We have created a ‘push playlist’ for Laura. She wants a pumped up mix. We kicked it off with Diana Ross “I’m coming out”. We’d love for you to add your songs to the playlist!! PLEASE ADD YOUR SONGS HERE - PUSH IT REAL GOOD PLAYLIST

    Everyone on TikTok is reclaiming what they “unfortunately love" and we created our own list of guilty pleasures. Some of these things we should probably be ashamed of and not admit publicly.

    We take a bit of a shift in gears and chat about an “Am I The A-Hole” we saw on reddit. Do you think it's wrong to tell someone that you're worried about having to cover the cost of their deaths? Have you had those conversations with your loved ones?

  • Ask Uncut - He’s Offering To F*** You “As A Friend”

    Ask Uncut - He’s Offering To F*** You “As A Friend”
    Sep 14 2025
    Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your dilemmas and Laura has had a dilemma of her own on her way into work today. She’s hoping that all of the speed and phone cameras were not working… Vibes for the week:Britt - Stalking Samantha on Disney Plus Keeshia - Survivor Aus v World Laura - CheekyGlo Glass Foot File Then we jump into your questions! DO I RISK THE FRIENDSHIP FOR SOME FWB?Five years ago, I met a man at work and the chemistry was instant — like, sparks-flying, butterflies, ‘this is my future husband’ levels of chemistry. We ended up dating exclusively, but I freaked out, got cold feet, and ran straight back into the arms of my toxic ex (rookie mistake, I know). We cut contact for about a year, I moved interstate, and life went on. Then at the end of 2023, he unblocked me on socials and slid back into my life… and honestly, it’s been like no time has passed. We’re best friends, he’s my ride-or-die, my confidant — but the elephant in the room is that the attraction never actually went away. It’s not just platonic, and we both know it. Here’s where it gets spicy: I recently told him I’m demisexual and haven’t had sex in over a year. His response? He basically volunteered as tribute to ‘help me get back in the game.’ On one hand, I trust him more than anyone, and the idea is… let’s just say, not unappealing. On the other hand, I’m scared of wrecking what we have. But then again, people drift as life moves on anyway, so part of me thinks — why not have a little fun while we’re here? So here’s my dilemma: do I risk the friendship for some (potentially mind-blowing) benefits, or keep things safe and platonic? Is this a terrible idea, or is it exactly the kind of terrible idea worth trying? HUSBAND HIRED MATE FOR WEDDING PIC- THEY ARE AWFUL AND IM DEVOMy husband and I got married in Italy last year, he booked his friend to be our photographer before discussing it with me. Once he told me I told him that the photography style wasn’t my style and I actually didn’t think he was a good photographer. I asked my husband to cancel his friend but he didn’t, my husband assured me that we would have beautiful photos, anyway after the wedding we got our photos back and I genuinely hate them. Half of our shot list is missing, terrible angles/ shadows/ lighting/editing. I cried for one week straight. It’s been one year and I can’t look at them, I don’t have any printed around the house, none are saved on my phone, none were posted on socials. How do I move on from this and how do I forgive my husband? Those 30 people will never be in Italy together again. We can’t redo them. I’m truly devastated. It’s been one year and I still hate them. Please help, I get so upset when I see someone else’s wedding photos because ours fucking suck. FRIEND WANTS ME TO PLAN 2 BRIDAL EVENTS FOR HER, I THINK IT’S TOO MUCHAITA? I am a maid of honour for my best friend who is getting married in November. This friend is typically unorganised/ leaves things until the last minute. I had to consistently follow up for details to be able to plan the hens. She said she only wants friends invited but wants to do a second hens for the parents. She said she doesn’t want the parents at the hens because she would be worried about the mums having a good time the whole time and not enjoy it herself. For context the mums don’t get along when they drink. We decided to just have the hens without the parents and have no other events. (I said I would not plan two hens as it wouldn’t be as special the second time). Now with two months out from the wedding she has asked me to plan a bridal shower for the mums to attend to have a special day for them. AITA for not putting in the same effort or money into the bridal shower as I am for the hens? PARTNERS MUM SUPER CLINGY AFTER WE MOVED OUTMy partner and I have just moved into our first home and I am definitely sure he is my penguin. The only issue is his mum is super clingy, she’ll constantly come over and want to fold our washing, clean our house and will not stop. At first it was nice but now it’s too much and I feel like she has just completely taken away the chance for us to be adults and actually do stuff for ourselves. I’ve mentioned this to my partner and he doesn’t seem to care as he is an only child and he feels like she is just doing this as a way to stay close to him. Am I overreacting, how do I approach this?
