Boyfriend Thought Living Together Would Be 'Cute'—Then Reality Hits
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. What started as a cute idea—living with his girlfriend—quickly turned into a hairy nightmare for one man, after he found himself cutting clumps of her hair out of the vacuum cleaner. Zoe Mary (@zoemaryfairy) shared a video of her boyfriend struggling to remove tangled strands from the vacuum brush using scissors. The TikTok has since gone viral, with over 148,000 views and more than 6,000 likes. "I was just getting ready when I heard him hoovering our room and then the hoover stopped and he went quiet for ages, so I walked in and he was there with the scissors trying to cut it all out. We only realized afterward that you can actually take that part of the hoover out and do it easier," Mary told Newsweek. She said her boyfriend, Bill, always jokes about finding her hair everywhere, including his clothes. "POV [point of view]: Your boyfriend thought living with you would be cute, until he had to cut all your hair out the hoover," she wrote in the overlay text on the clip. "How I'm not bald is beyond me, she's about 100 hairs a day," Zoe added in the caption. Hair getting stuck in vacuum rollers is a common household issue—especially in homes with long-haired residents. One Good Thing by Jillee says that the best way to remove hair from a vacuum brush roll is to use scissors or a seam ripper to cut gently through the hair wrapped around the brush. Some vacuum models also have release tabs or screws that make it easier to detach the brush roll for cleaning. As for why so much hair ends up in the vacuum in the first place, experts at Healthline say that it is normal to lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day. Factors such as stress, diet, hormone changes, or even hair-care routines can cause increased shedding, but daily hair loss at this rate is generally not a cause for concern. If you don't have a vacuum on hand—or want to prevent hair from getting tangled in one—there are several effective ways to remove hair from carpet manually. Experts at wikiHow say that tools such as a rubber broom, squeegee, or even a damp sponge can lift hair from carpet fibers. The static created by rubber helps gather it into clumps, making it easy to pick up and throw away. You can also put on rubber gloves and run your hands over the carpet, as the friction pulls strands up from the surface. These low-tech methods are especially helpful for quick cleanups or in hard-to-reach areas. TikTok users rushed to the comments with empathy—and advice. "You can take that bit out, sooo much easier!" posted one user. "Babe get yourself an unpicker/seam ripper it's a gameeee changer for this," said Christie.

"Absolute fact, the first time he watched me cut it out he was so grossed out," said Jen. "On the side, there is a screw, you can turn it and pull the whole thing out. Makes it way easier to clean," added Manu. Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones! Send them in to life@ and they could appear on our site.

We All Agreed That Diet Culture Was Bad. So Why Is It Back?
Has anyone noticed a shift lately? You open TikTok and sift through videos of 'fit checks, body checks, workout tips, not feeling much of anything at all. Except, of course, that vague sense of dread in the pit of your stomach. Is that influencer so slim because she follows a clean-eating plan, or because she doesn't eat at all? Maybe there's a seismic change in the air. Celebrities are losing weight, even those who branded themselves as body-positive icons. Others are being scrutinised for signs they're taking weight-loss drugs. Lana Del Rey, a star once reviled for no longer looking 25 years old, appeared at Coachella looking 25 years old. The internet's reaction to her reclaimed thinness was 'WE ARE SO BACK'. A stranger's weight loss, it would seem, is a harbinger of hope. Or maybe a testament that fat shaming works. 'I've seen a huge uptick in content online that promotes diet culture, and very often tips over into eating-disorder territory,' says Alex Light, a body-image speaker. 'A lot of it is subtle, disguised as 'wellness', but some of it is blatant – like 'what I eat in a day' videos glorifying extremely low-calorie [diets], or creators encouraging their followers to be 'skinny legends'.' When you start to notice them, the signs are everywhere. Noughties fashion trends are having a revival, along with the idealisation of Noughties-era bodies. Wellness discourse is crossing into alt-right territory. AI is making everyone even more image obsessedwith people asking ChatGPT if they're 'hot enough'. Politics is influencing beauty trends. Unabashed 'skinny influencers' are mainstream. What on earth happened, would be a fair question to ask. Didn't we all agree, around a decade ago, that diet culture was bad? That there's more to life than being thin? 'Arguably what scares me more is the engagement on these posts: thousands of likes and comments applauding the dedication, or asking for tips,' Light continues. 'It shows this isn't happening in a vacuum – there's a wider cultural appetite for this kind of content.' An 'anti-diet advocate', Light is the author of You Are Not a Before Picture and co-host of Should I Delete That?, a podcast she co-hosts with Em Clarkson, which attempts to apply the nuance 'that is often left out of the polarising conversations that take place on social media'. Indeed, these symptoms of our divided times could be linked to diet culture's big comeback. 'The algorithm doesn't tend to reward nuance, compassion or content that doesn't focus on aesthetics or transformation,' Light says. 'What's common is 'wellness' content that ends up reinforcing body ideals: 'gentle' weight-loss goals, 'healthy swaps' or hyper-disciplined routines. It might not look like traditional diet culture on the surface, but it reinforces the idea that your body is a problem to fix.' Dr Johanna Keeler, a psychologist specialising in eating disorders, confirms that seemingly benign social-media content can have an insidious effect. She points to a recent study of TikTok algorithms, which found that people with an eating disorder were far more likely to be shown appearance-oriented, dieting and exercise content. ('They were 4343% more likely to be shown toxic eating-disorder videos,' she adds.) The problem is that the algorithm perpetuates a 'vicious circle' – those with eating disorders are more likely to be shown triggering content, and the triggering content exacerbates disordered eating. 'The worrying thing is that, because of smartphones, we're exposed to this content a lot more.' This is made more extreme due to tailored content from the algorithms, causing vulnerable people to get stuck in a harmful echo chamber. It's not the first time social media has sparked these concerns. 'This era echoes pro-anorexia Tumblr, but it has a shinier, more socially acceptable veneer,' Light says. The website was host to a huge number of 'pro-ana' blogs that posted 'thinspiration' in the form of personal pictures and Kate Moss gifs, fostering one-upmanship around users' daily food intake and workout routines. While this phenomenon was more brazen in its promotion of dieting, Light argues that 'the result is the same: we're still being told that our value hinges on how small, controlled and ideal our bodies look'. A lot of today's viral content is more implicit in its promotion of the beauty standard – a cursory glance at Instagram's Explore page will reveal paparazzi pictures of celebrities in bikinis, their figures picked apart in the comments, and fitness influencers sharing weight-loss tips. 'It's dressed up as 'wellness', 'clean living' or 'biohacking',' Light says, referencing the coded terms creators use to avoid being cancelled. But as Keeler's research suggests, this can function as a gateway to more extreme, pro-ana subcultures, and influencers who are less precious about their wording. Liv Schmidt, a 23-year-old former TikTok creator, shared videos telling followers what she eats in a day 'to stay skinny', with slogans including: 'It's not a sin to want to be thin'. After being barred from the app, Schmidt started a membership programme she calls the Skinni Société, where subscribers pay $20 a month to gain access to her 'portion-controlled' food diaries, and group chats where members compare step counts and 'progress pics'. 'Seeing Gen Z engage with his rhetoric has been a big shocker,' says Gina Tonic, senior editor and podcast host at Polyester Zine. 'The worst thing I've seen is SkinnyTok and eating-disorder Twitter accounts making their way into 'normal' algorithms – being seen by many who didn't know they existed prior to that.' Though TikTok has banned the #SkinnyTok hashtag, the community is still active and growing on the app. 'You hope younger generations will be more socially aware but it's not necessarily the case; they make the same mistakes we do, and that's hard to watch.' Tonic notes the responsibility to police this content ultimately lies with social-media platforms, who seem to 'prioritise engagement over wellbeing and social justice'. She says an early sign of the pendulum swing back to diet culture was 'creators who centred their brand on self-love or body positivity or fat liberation shifting to be around weight loss'. Many TikTok users who have undergone transformations opened up about their use of GLP-1s, which have been hailed as miracle drugs while giving rise to ethical concerns. Part of a cultural shift to the pursuit of thinness at all costs, these admissions seem even more jarring to those who remember a time when showcasing diverse bodies on the internet was celebrated. 'In the 2010s, we had a mainstream wave of body positivity,' says Light. In an interview with BeautyMatter, beauty-industry critic Jessica DeFino said that, during this time, 'anti-diet culture limited what beauty standards the media could promote without facing public backlash'. But even if the movement was more about optics than genuine progress, with celebrities cashing in on wokeness for clout, Light claims this was preferable to the situation we find ourselves in. 'A lot of it wasn't perfect, of course, but it cracked open the conversation, gave marginalised bodies visibility and challenged narrow beauty standards.' And though it can seem like progress has been permanently reversed, Tonic believes sometimes things have to get worse before they get better: 'Fat liberation, a lot like feminism, has come in waves of popularity, and the tide seems to be out at the minute. I do think it'll come back full-force soon.' In the meantime, it's important to practise awareness, and to consider safeguarding measures. In a recent study, almost one in five UK women screened positive for a possible eating disorder. The most effective way to break yourself out of negative thinking patterns? Addressing that pesky phone addiction. 'Any sort of intervention to try to limit your exposure should help improve your appearance-satisfaction and wellbeing', Keeler advises. Tonic agrees, but also advocates engaging with online content that makes you feel good. 'I think making an active commitment to following and engaging with accounts that are body positive and seek to decentre and oppose these conversations will help so much,' she says. 'Curate a feed and algorithm that feeds you the right things. Negative things online are unavoidable at this point, but pointedly engaging with content that counteracts it will do wonders.' Light, similarly, has found hope by building a positive online community. 'The messages I get from people who've started to eat more freely, wear the clothes they love, stop punishing themselves… all of it reminds me that change is happening, even if it's gradual and it's not trending,' she says. 'I think a great question to ask yourself is, 'Who benefits from me believing I need to be smaller?' The answer is never you. It's the multi-billion-dollar diet industry. Knowing that I'm fine exactly as I am and that I don't need to be smaller is an act of rebellion. Real joy and confidence come from opting out.'

What Is A Tiffany Plate & Is It Healthy? Dietitians Weigh In
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Girl dinners peaked in popularity two years ago, but their cultural impact has far from faded. Plates of miscellaneous ingredients have become the meal du jour on TikTok. Some of the meals, playfully dubbed "adult Lunchables," highlight trendy specialty ingredients or lean on artistic plating techniques. But across the snack plate spectrum, there's a pervasive theme: health. The arrangement of snacks isn't just meant to offer variety—it's an exercise in portion control. The components are often designed to meet macronutrient goals or achieve a greater wellness-related purpose. One specific formula, dubbed the "Tiffany Plate," has become the latest darling of the TikTok diet space. Coined by influencer Tiffany Magee, the trend features a variety of raw fruits and vegetables, chicken sausage, and, most notably, cottage cheese and mustard. Alongside her other weight loss content, Magee shares her daily Tiffany Plates with her millions of followers. Fans have taken to TikTok to attempt the 15-day Tiffany Plate Challenge and share their own renditions. Magee claims that her eponymous meal was born after a doctor recommended an anti-inflammatory diet. Proponents of the Tiffany Plate claim that it's helped them lose weight and feel better overall. But just how nutritious is it, really? Should we all start integrating the Tiffany Plates into our meal plans? I consulted dietitians and nutrition experts to break down everything you should know. What Are The Benefits Of The 'Tiffany Plate'? Experts agree that the Tiffany Plate comes with some nutritional pros. For one, its emphasis on fresh produce is a major perk. "The big win here is that it's making vegetables feel fun and approachable—and honestly, getting more people to eat plants is a step in the right direction," says Elisa Kosonen, R.H.N., C.H.C. According to Intuitive Eating Dietitian Emily Van Eck, the vegetables can offer "fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and phytonutrients," which can contribute anti-inflammatory benefits. Protein intake has dominated diet discourse over the past few years, and the Tiffany Plate makes it easy to meet that macronutrient goal. "It can be a solid foundation—especially for people who feel overwhelmed by cooking or are looking for easy, buildable meals," Kosonen says. "It reminds me a bit of 'girl dinner,' but with a bit more protein and structure." The protein from the cottage cheese and sausage "plays a key role in satiety, blood sugar stability, and even healing," says Angela Graham, R.D.N. Compared to a simple arrangement of vegetables and packaged snacks, the Tiffany Plate offers something more substantial. Are There Any Nutritional Drawbacks? Despite the positive aspects of the Tiffany Plate, it's not necessarily the nutritional powerhouse it claims to be. Most notably, the anti-inflammatory benefits are tenuous at best. "Calling it inherently 'anti-inflammatory' is where the messaging gets a little murky," Graham says. Van Eck adds that "inflammation is a complex process influenced by overall diet, stress, sleep, and social conditions, not just individual foods." But even within the plate itself, experts argue that there is room for improvement to minimize the inflammation it's purported to counteract. "The plate is relatively low in added sugars and ultra-processed ingredients compared to the average snack plate, but some versions of chicken sausage can contain both," Graham says. Chicken sausage, like other processed meats, has large amounts of sodium. Depending on the brand you buy, a single link can contain anywhere from 20% to 35% of your daily recommended sodium intake. Beyond that, chicken sausage may also come with significant levels of saturated fat—which triggers an inflammatory response in the body. Kosonen clarifies that while chicken sausage isn't inherently bad, these nutritional shortcomings can "counteract some of the benefits from the veggies on the plate." There are also some glaring omissions from the Tiffany Plate formula. "Many Tiffany Plate versions lack sufficient protein, iron, B12, and calories for a full meal, especially for those folks with higher energy needs," Van Eck explains. "Without grains or starches, it may also be low in complex carbohydrates, which are important for energy and blood sugar stability." Kosonen adds that in order to yield long-term anti-inflammatory benefits, "we want to see more variety in both protein and fiber sources—things like fatty fish, tofu, legumes, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and whole grains—all of which are shown in the research to support anti-inflammatory pathways and gut health." Is The Tiffany Plate Healthy? A Tiffany Plate can be part of a balanced overall diet, but on its own, Van Eck says it's not a nutritionally sound meal for most people. "Calling it a meal as-is may reinforce low-calorie, low-fat diet-like ideals that can backfire, especially for people prone to trendy diets and who are healing their relationship with food," she explains. The lack of measuring and calorie counting is an upgrade from other fad diets, but the Tiffany Plate is not without its flaws. "The trend highlights a common pattern: someone feels better after changing their diet and credits one specific factor, when really it's the shift to more whole foods and intentional eating that's doing the heavy lifting," Graham says. There's also some questionable subtext associated with the Tiffany Plate's purported healing abilities. Magee created the concept as a solution for the symptoms associated with her Lyme disease diagnosis, but there's no scientific evidence that supports the claim that Lyme disease can be cured through your diet. As the trend persists, it risks the spread of misinformation and, according to Van Eck, "reinforces the harmful idea that chronic illness can be fixed with clean eating alone and that it 'should' work for everyone." While your diet certainly plays a major role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, experts advise against leaning on this trend as a panacea for weight management or treating chronic health issues. "At best, a Tiffany Plate can be a fun, veggie-forward part of a meal or a quick lunch without any cooking that can be integrated into a full, balanced diet," Van Eck says.
