Over the weekend a young fan died while at a Taylor Swift concert in Rio. While her cause of death has not been revealed, much has been said about the fact that the heat index that day reached 59.3 degrees celsius.  Could this be yet another impact of climate change that we didn't fully comprehend, when attending a concert might just be too dangerous for our health?  In this episode of The Quicky we look at the unexpected ways in which climate change might impact us, and what is being done around the world to try and put a stop to it getting way too hot.

The selfie camera has gotten TOO good.  But isn't that what we want? Well, yes, to a point, but our front facing cameras, the ones we take all our selfies with, is no longer giving us the soft focus vibe we used to know and love.  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at whether the selfie camera is changing the way we see ourselves and whether it's really the camera, the phone itself or us that are perceiving the new pictures as worse than the old ones.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Hundreds of patients, including dozens of babies, have been trapped inside Gaza's largest hospital as Israeli troops and Hamas militants are fighting outside.  Claims of airstrikes have seen finger pointing from both sides, there are claims that Hamas is using it as a headquarters, and now, those trying to treat the sick, injured, pregnant and dying are struggling to do so without access to basic supplies.  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at why Al-Shifa hospital has become central in this war, and what happens next to the most vulnerable.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

There's a form of elder abuse that's on the rise, and the NSW Ageing and Disability Commission think they know why.  "Inheritance Impatience" is the term being used to explain an increase in elder abuse as younger generations trying to get by are watching as their boomer parents continue to hold the majority of the country's wealth as their life expectancy continues to grow.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at whether money really is causing an increase in abuse in our elder generations.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Many people will claim to be a chocoholic or sugar addict, but can we really be addicted to food?  A new study has suggested that not only are some foods addictive, they can actually be just as addictive as alcohol and almost as addictive as some drugs.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what foods are getting under our skin so efficiently that we really can't live without them.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

We often hear about toxic masculinity. And when discussing it, there's one man seemingly leading the virtual pack - Andrew Tate. We have seen how he, and many like him, can have a direct impact on the way in which men view the women around them. But how do you stop this and teach them about positive masculinity?  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the ways the Australian Government is planning to anti-Andrew Tate young Aussie men through the Healthy Masculinities Project, and how it's hoping to turn those young men from dangerous presence to positive partners.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Over the years I get asked if lavender oil is estrogenic? The belief that it is considered estrogenic and causes hormonal issues stems primarily from a limited number of studies and anecdotal evidence, which have been broadly generalized. The concern is that certain compounds found in lavender oil could mimic estrogen in the body or… Continue reading SLP 329: Self Love Quicky – Is Lavender Oil Estrogenic?

Over the past few days, Israeli troops have moved into the heart of Gaza, surrounding Gaza City and giving those who remain amongst the rubble after almost a month of airstrikes, just a four hour window to leave before they move in.  Israel says they are there to annihilate Hamas, the militant terror group who launched the deadly attack on October 7.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what will happen once this is all over? Will Israel take control of all Palestinian territory in Gaza? What will happen to those who call it home? And what does this mean for the region and the rest of the world?  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We're listening!

Warning: This episode speaks of violence and suicide. Please take care when listening.  Last week 21 year old Lilie James was killed in a Sydney private school, her body found in the bathroom of the school's gym. Her killer is suspected to be 24 year old Paul Thijssen, a man she had dated.  This week the former headmaster of St Andrew's Cathedral School, where Lilie was a teacher and was killed, wrote a letter home to parents and students where he called Thijssen a "delight", "a fine student" and even a "role-model".  Too often we see and hear things like this said by men about men in their lives who have gone on to do unspeakable things to either their wives and partners, or their own children.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the 'Good Bloke Syndrome' and why it's time some men held a mirror up to their own behaviours to understand what is happening to the women of Australia.  To read more on this topic, click here.

On Friday the United Nations general assembly overwhelmingly called for an "immediate, durable and sustainable humanitarian truce" between Israel and Hamas.  The motion, drafted by Jordan, had 120 nations voting in favour, 14, including the US and Israel voting no and 45 countries, including Australia, the UK and Canada abstaining from voting at all.  Why would our representatives not support a stop to the fighting to allow Gaza to receive medical aid, food and water?  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why Australia chose to step away, when 120 countries voted in favour of a truce, and why they believe the resolution was incomplete.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Facebook groups and pages called 'Sis, Is This Your Man?' have been popping up all over the country. The members of these groups apparently trying to prevent others from wasting their time on, in their opinions, narcissists, cheaters and liars.  The groups are also being used by members to discover if their partners are being unfaithful. But what are the legal implications of these groups? Can we really put it down to the sisterhood just looking out for each other, or is there something more sinister going on? And what about the men featured in these posts? Are they ruining their reputations? In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the fine line between women seeking to protect themselves and defamation.  If you'd like to read more, click here.

She was the princess of pop in the 90's and early 00's, before her life took a turn. You've seen the paparazzi photos of her shaving her head and attacking a car with an umbrella, the shots of her driving erratically with her baby on her lap.  In the past few years we've seen the #FreeBritney movement, begging for her release from a conservatorship run by her father. And lately, we see videos of her dancing in her home, some people label her unhinged, others say it's a cry for help.  Today, Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, drops worldwide and in this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the enigma that is Britney Spears and why her story is one so many of us are desperate to know the truth behind the tabloids.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
