In her last solo interview as first lady, Michelle Obama spoke candidly with Oprah Winfrey about life in the White House, the legacy she’ll leave and her immediate plans. Here are five takeaways from the wide-ranging conversation, which aired Monday night on CBS. Responsibilities of Her Role In discussing her biggest sacrifices as first lady, Obama said losing her ability to be anonymous topped her list. "There's nowhere I can go in the world and just sit at a table and have a cup of coffee and watch the world," she said. She also spoke of the immense pressures that she and President Barack Obama felt during his time in office, saying its responsibilities brought "a weight that is indescribable." "There's no way to describe what it feels like to open up the paper every day and know that almost every headline is your husband's responsibility at some level," she said. "Anywhere in the world, any major problem, any maj...

Photo credit: GoFundMe From Cosmopolitan A 36-year-old mother and her 3-month-old son were found dead with their throats slit at the family's home in Forth Worth, Texas, on Thursday night. According to People , the bodies of Shanna Riddle Vandewege and her infant child, Diederick, were both discovered by the 36-year-old victim's husband, Craig Vandewege, after he came home from work Thursday.

View photos Long-lost swear words used centuries ago have been revealed - and some prove to be a lot tamer than the ones we are used to today. Among the list of insults are such gems as ‘nippy’, ‘cucumber’ and ‘bald-a***’. The swear words were uncovered by Dr Todd Gray MBE, who spent years trawling through a staggering 40,000 documents from the church and state courts in the 1500s and 1600s. His results are presented in the book ‘How to Swear Like an Elizabethan in Devon’ and the monograph ‘Strumpets and Ninnycocks: Name calling in Devon, 1540-1640’. ‘Wittol’ means a husband complicit in his wife’s adultery, ‘cucumber’ was used to describe a husband of a woman having an affair, while ‘tarse’ literally means ‘penis’.

He explained: “At the very...

According to recent research, more than a third of people seeking treatment for acne are over the age of 35.  Some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Victoria Beckham, Cameron Diaz and Katy Perry, have talked about their struggle with spots. It’s not just us ‘normal’ people that are plagued with break outs.  With around 50 per cent of adults suffering from acne at some point, and with 80 per cent of those being women, it’s important to understand what’s really going on when it comes to problem skin.

The excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and debris, clogging up the follicles and, in turn...
